Why Critics 'SBY Liar' Got High Weights

Exactly one week after the interfaith leaders expressed criticism for the government, the President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) invite the clergy into the Palace. The government's move was correct?

"When viewed from a very fast response SBY impressed even very reactive, it shows how critics of about 18 men of religion that lie very serious attention," said senior researcher Indonesian Survey Institute (LSI) Burhanuddin Muhtadi, to VIVAnews.com Monday January 17, 2011.

However, according to Burhanuddin SBY step was legitimate. Maybe that's one way to show the public that responded to public criticism Palace. However, according to him, there are other things more important than just meeting or dialogue.

"The most important thing is to follow up or follow-up of what the results of that meeting. Conferences like this are often going on, but where did it go?" Burhan questioned.

Burhanuddin admitted, the weight of criticism from religious leaders yesterday was high enough to make direct SBY respond. There are two factors that make the criticisms that have high weights.

First, the source of criticism is the clergy. According to Burhanuddin, in the public eye, by religious leaders was a symbol of role models in society. "Because of the high morality and ketokohannya about integrity," he said.

Second, about the matter lies. When the religious leaders said the word 'lie', it is like to voice the truth public. "It was immediately attacked the integrity of SBY and the government," said political analyst graduate of the Australian Natinal University (ANU) this.

As is known, Monday, January 10 last week, a number of inter-religious figures criticized the performance of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono led government wheels. Inter-religious figures feel obliged to give a loud warning.

"All religious leaders have come down the mountain, if this is not considered, this really who we are?" said former chairman of Muhammadiyah Syafii Maarif in an open statement in the office of interfaith leaders of Muhammadiyah.

According Buya, greeting Syafii, currently 'monster' fragility is attacking the nation of Indonesia. Fragility of moral, political, economic, and all areas vulnerable. "But, there are people who do not feel, who do not want to see the fragility of it," he added
