| Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), Indonesia's largest Islamic organization, expressed concern over the bomb blasts. "It's a frightening incident; that's why NU feels concerned," deputy secretary-general of NU Executive Board Masduqi Baidlowi told Antara on the sidelines of a conference of the East Java NU chapter in Pasuruan, East Java, on Sunday. "It's very barbaric," said Sholahuddin Wahid, another executive of NU, as quoted by private Metro TV. Yeah. You never know when these people are gonna decide you're not pious enough Muslims and start killing you, too... Meanwhile, Syafii Ma'arif, chairman of Muhammadiyah, the second-largest Muslim organization in the country, strongly condemned the tragic bombing, as reported by Metro TV. |
