It is customary for the Ulama of Nahdlatul Ulama from the Age of Kiai Hasyim Asy'ari to this day always to be filled with verbal abuse when he - he has his own political ijtihad.
At that time KH. Hasyim Asy'ari left Japan Jail, when Kiai Hasyim was considered to have softened to Japan for allowing Santri to join the ranks of PETA and HIZBULLAH Army projected to assist Japan in the Greater East Asia War.
But by Kiai Hasyim this strategy is used to train the military in order to increase the provision for the Santri and the people of Indonesia when one day again face the battle.
Since then, Kiai Hasyim Asy'ari and his son, Kiai Wahid Hasyim, have been ridiculed because they are considered to be Japanese henchmen, sycophants, hypocrites and their compatriots.
Yet if only when it was not done, undoubtedly many young Muslims who can not tactics and war strategy.
So it is with Kiai Wahab Chasbullah who opted out of Masyumi then joined the Nationalist, Socialist, and Communist (Nasakom) groups. Umpatan until the utterance of curse never stop approaching Kiai Wahab Chasbullah's ears. Even Kiai Wahab is considered a hypocrite by a Masyumi friend and is considered infidel by DI / TII group.
At that time NU joined as a counterweight to the strength of the PKI maneuver and the Hard Line Nationalists. For if there is no religious power within their group what would have been then the religion was only made up of months by Communist and Socialist groups.
Not long ago lost from our memories he KH. Abdurrahman Wahid also did not escape from scolding, slandering, even insult to his physical.
At that time Gus Dur was his nickname of being the number one man in Indonesia, the insult when Abdurrahman went to Israel began to be augmented, from the phrase "p * check, b * ta, Jewish henchmen, and other sentences.
Yet the goal at the time was to give a condition for Indonesia to be involved in the peace process in the Middle East. Thus, Indonesia as the largest Muslim country in the world, will be heard in the international sphere.
Then by their political opponents, Abdurrahman was ousted from the Presidential Chair with a slander that has not proven until now.
Just as in today's modern era, it is almost not far from what was experienced by the Kiai Sepuh Nahdlatul Ulama.
Once upon KH. Maimun Zubair supports one of their chosen political attitudes, he is praised with the possible praise for the kroco class as we will make a high bounce with his pride, but for Mbah Maimun it is just normal.
Because for him, praised not to make high-hearted, berated not make a little heart.
However, when he differed with the political views of their choice, just be swooned out. Even a housewife who did not know anything with the initials of SM at that time to say g * bl * g and the smell of the grave to Mustasyar (Advisory Board) Nahdlatul Ulama Board of Directors as well as Nurse Boarding Boarders Al Anwar, Sarang, Rembang, Central Java that.
After a while, one of the sympathizers of a party with a different political choice with KH. Maimun Zubair initials IK aka IT aka Kindergarten blatantly insulting him with the phrase 'rancid' that makes anyone who heard it Nahdliyin will immediately react violently to such contempt.
If Kiai Maimun Zubair's classmates are so severely slandered, scolded and insulted by differences of political views with him, then do not be surprised if thousands of his disciples who follow the political views of his teacher will also be ready to be briganded and scolded by those with different choices with him.
Therefore, for anyone Nahdliyin Citizens who have the blood and nasab scholarship to the Masyayikh Nahdlatul Ulama, I hope that not to cursing, berating, and insulting scholars of different political choices with you.
As dhawuh Al Hafidz Ibn Asakir in maqolahnya:
لحوم العلماء مسمومة وعادة الله في هتك أستار منتقصيهم معلومة
"That the flesh of the scholars is poisonous, and Allah Subhanahuwata'ala will certainly expose the 'curtain' of their detractors".
