Ahok said that people may be lied to by using Al Maidah 51.
Why is Ahok in prison? A legal analysis of the decision
The court effectively says that Ahok speech implies that the Quran is a tool for lying.
The problem is, is there a guarantee that anyone that is using religion isn't lying?
To the opposite.
We have many cases where people use the religious textbook for many fraudulent aims.
Heres an article about a Quran corruption case in Indonesia, called KPK Questions Witness of Quran Procurement Corruption
Abu Tours and First travel using Umrah (a Muslim pilgrimage) case, to defraud people.
Trial starts for alleged 'umrah' fraud case
So clearly here, religions have been used for a dishonest purpose.
Yet almost 0 Muslims complain about Abu Tour. Many newspapers tell about people using the Quran to commit corruption. No body-mind. We sort of knew it happens. Duh...
Yet, when Ahok said that people are using the Quran to lie, somehow it's a big deal. Most politicians lie or mislead. It's politics. C'mon.
Why is Ahok case such a big deal from the law perspective?
