Jakarta, Ahlussunnah Waljamaah Indonesia. As the religious organization and the countrys largest Muslim organization, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) has never shifted to the left of right. It has stood on the principle of NU frame of thinking.
The statement above was delivered by Chairman of PBNU Supreme Council (Syuriah) KH Maruf Amin while opening the Halaqoh II Pre Ulemas National and Major Conference (Munas/Konbes) of PBNU in Jakarta, Saturday (8/7). Maruf delivered the speech as head of organizing committee Munas and Konbes on coming 27-30 July 2006.
Maruf said, the shift has ever been and occurred in 1990s while some of NU followers had responded conservatively to any eras developments. At that time, according to Maruf, kiais had focused on yellow books thought in pesantren and had had no courage to act as the yellow books had not covered both clearly and thoroughly the realities.
But that was in end as Lampungs NU Munas and Konbes in 1992, the kiais approved that there would be such methodology and not based solely on text. There was such dynamics here. This effort we called as tajdidu fikrah an-nahdliyyah (renewing the frame of thinking of NU),Maruf said.
