"Accused of Blaspheming Religion for Using the Acronym AMIN, Anies Baswedan Reported to the Police"

"Dream - In the midst of the campaign period, the presidential candidate number one, Anies Baswedan, was reported to the Bareskrim Polri by the organization Forum Aktivis Dakwah Kampus Indonesia."

"Anies is accused of blaspheming religion because he used the acronym AMIN for campaigning. The acronym AMIN is derived from the initials of Anies Baswedan and Muhaimin Iskandar, his vice-presidential candidate."

"It is clear that it is explained in the hadiths that the use of the word Amin is a use of a sacred word, a use of our hope towards God Almighty,"
the words of the Coordinator of the Forum for Campus Da'wah Activists in Indonesia, Umar Segala, quoted from Liputan6.com, Saturday, December 23, 2023.

According to Umar, the word Amin has the same meaning for other religions present in Indonesia. He believes Anies is politicizing religion.

"This is a very useless politicization. Low politicization, that politicization of religion is still being carried out to gain public interest in this democratic era."

The translation of "ungkap dia." to English is "reveal him/her."

"Not only that, Umar Segala also highlighted the podcast of Anies with Ustaz Abdul Somad discussing the tahiyat with a two-finger gesture. In fact, it is known that there is only one finger, namely the index finger, used in the prayer movement. "That Anies Baswedan has played with the prayer movement. He showed the number 2, but in the meaning explained by him, that is the prayer movement," he said."

"Umar Segala hopes that the legal process can proceed quickly to avoid triggering horizontal conflicts in society. "There should be no presidential candidates who justify means to gain sympathy and victory," he said."

The translation of "Reaksi Pihak AMIN" to English is "Reactions from AMIN Party".

On the other hand, the spokesperson for the national team AMIN, Indra Charismiadji, spoke out regarding this report. He stated that Umar Segala's accusations are baseless.

"Kok aneh-aneh saja. Agama mana yang dinistakan? Amin itu tidak hanya dipakai dalam ritual agama lho. Harusnya punya komitmen bersama. Ngapain ditarik-tarik ke ranah hukum hanya karena kami punya Akronim yang sangat merakyat," translates to: "Why is it so strange? Which religion is being insulted? 'Amin' is not only used in religious rituals, you know. There should be a shared commitment. Why drag it into the legal realm just because we have an acronym that is very popular among the people,"

The translation of "ucap Indra." to English is "Indra says."
