The statement of Zulhas went viral on social media until the Deputy Chairman of the Indonesian Council of Ulama (MUI) KH Marsudi Syuhud also commented.

"Recently, there has been a lot of buzz on social media about the news of the PAN Chairman, Zulkifli Hassan, whose statements have gone viral on social media. Honestly, from what I see, this has turned from a joke into a commotion."

The text translated to English while preserving any HTML tags is: "The words of Marsudi Syuhud are quoted from the press release, Saturday, December 23, 2023."

According to him, Zulhas' statement that is currently circulating on social media does not intend to blaspheme religion. Because this joke has also been made by several figures and scholars such as Ustaz Abdul Somad, Ustad Adi Hidayat, and Anies Baswedan. "So, actually this joke has already been made by UAS, UAH, Anies," he said.

Kiai Marsudi believes that the figures and scholars mentioned do not have the intention to insult their own religion through the statements they made. "Are figures as big as UAS, UAH, Anies, and Zulhas, who also have a devout Muslim background, really disrespecting religion, demeaning religion, and even demeaning sects? In this context, if we truly understand everything depends on intention. A statement depends on the intention behind it," said Marsudi.

Therefore, Marsudi invites Muslims to remind each other not to make religion a political issue. Especially as a weapon to attack or undermine disliked parties.

"We hope that community leaders, religious leaders, including party leaders and supporters of each candidate, will continue to prioritize noble manners in delivering their messages. Supporters should be wise in choosing the right words even if it is difficult."

"tuturnya." translates to "he/she said."
