Battleground Tweets

By Hera Diani

Conservative and liberal Muslims in Indonesia are taking their fight for hearts and minds to Twitter. Is that good or bad?

To Muslim scholar Ulil Abshar Abdalla:
‘You seem to hate Islam so much’.

‘In my opinion, there are many misunderstandings of Islam. I have an obligation to criticize them so that Islam won’t have a bad image’.

‘It’s like the Islam that you project is always negative. I’m sure it’s just your incorrect, shallow and emotional interpretation’.

      Actually, the @FPIyeah is just a mock up twitter. it’s not the FPI official twitter account. just a sarcasstic look of the organization. but yeah, we use twitter to say what we want to say, even for topics like religion. and no, i don’t support FPI. I support freedom of speech, not freedom of violence.
