"We hope that the column of religion can be handled by the local government," said Chairman of the Fatwa Commission of Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) Lebak District, KH Baijuri when contacted in Lebak, Tuesday (25/11/2014), as quoted by Antara.
He said religious adherents in the country outside the six religions set by the government need to include his belief in electronic ID card. Therefore, the government must protect people who embrace various schools of trust. For believers can be written with a belief slash.
Baijuri pointed out, Baduy people who live in the interior of Lebak regency, Banten province, which adheres to the belief of Sunda Wiwitan, in the religious column in KTP simply write a description of trust or imprinted by the trust of Sunda Wiwitan.
Therefore, it hopes Kemendagri gives authority to the local government to accommodate the desire of believers.
Local governments may issue local regulations (Perda) to make the policy of religious columns on KTP written trust.
"I think through the regulation is certainly very strong as a legal umbrella of confession on the identity card," he said.
According to him, currently adherents of trust in Indonesia quite a lot and almost exist in all regions. As in West Java there is the belief of Sunda Wiwitan.
"I think as permanent citizens they are entitled to obtain a confidence identity on the religious column," he said.
Meanwhile, Baduy Traditional Chief who is also the Head of Kanekes Village, Leuwidamar District, Lebak Regency, Dainah hoped that the belief of Sundanese Wiwitan adopted by Baduy people was included in religious column.
Therefore, the Baduy community is part of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) and has the right to include the identity of the faith of the relics of his ancestors.
"We hope the government officially recognizes the Wiwitan Sunda belief written on the religion column," he said.(translate.kompas)
