The so-called fatwa against the use of social networking sites like Facebook and Friendster.
A conference of Islamic students and clerics called “Forum Bathsul Masail (BMP) Putri XI”, and held at the Putri Hidayatul Mubtadi-aat Islamic boarding school for girls at Lirboyo in Kediri has been widely reported to have issued a fatwa against the usage by Muslims of social networking sites such as Friendster and Facebook.

However the man who started the controversy, a spokesman for Lirboyo school, Muhammad Nabil Haroen (or Harun), says:
I too have a Facebook account.
Nabil said that Facebook, any form of online chatting, particularly with foreign men suarasurabaya, or telephones and SMS allowed young, unmarried people to consort with people of the opposite sex, and that this was haram, but if such sites were used for spreading the message of Islam, or for business relations, or innocent getting-to-know-you, or similar such non-sinful activities then there was no objection. vivanews
It’s like a knife, if it’s used for cooking it’s good, if it’s used for killing it’s bad.
Many reports had stated that 700 clerics from Java and Madura had attended the conference and declared Facebook haram, but Nabil says
This was just a routine meeting, there were 700 delegates from Islamic schools for girls, they’re students not clerics.
Apart from the internet the BMP meeting also discussed the issue of election posters that showed the faces of women, and decided that this was permissible within limits. The matter of Ponari the child healer was also brought up, and condemned as superstition. tempo

All issues discussed arose from questions from ordinary Muslims about the rights and wrongs of various things, and the Facebook/Friendster item was one of eight others the meeting dealt with. vivanews vivanews

You seem to have confused this council of clerics with “Ze Germans” and you are getting wound up about roadblocks and telephone-checks that only exist in your head.
If there are already virginity checks in some schools I wouldn’t be surprised if roadblocks and telephone checks are also on the horizon.
Just another try to prevent girls from marrying foreigners. Most of the stupid regulations or fatwas are about that single thing: Do not let the girls go with mister bule.
The more correct sentese, we do not let our girls go with the mister bule kere because we have more than enough stock a species kere and we do not need to import another kere species
That’s the main goal of Islam in Indonesia. Keep the nice guys away.
Indonesian do not need a nice guy at all what we need is a rich guy even he is the bad one because we still can take his wealth and wipe out the bad dirt.

Your message must not have gotten through to the women I have dated here. They love imported species, and tell me that they are bored with Indonesian men. Their usual comments are; Indonesian men are poor lovers, uninteresting with a childlike mentality.

tsk tsk tsk..this tells me you’re jealous of the money that Bule apparently have. Careful friend, you’re showing your true colours…
Chin up Cukurungan, you’ll find a girl soon who enjoys being locked up.

Brother Mouzone, may I ask you what’s your relationship with “Nation of Islam”? Are you black? Do you assasinate people?
1. I have never claimed to be a member of the NOI – nor have I said that I am not.
2. My skin color is irrelevant to this discussion.
3. I work here as a “consultant/contractor” for a number of political parties and factions.

From my observations, even an extremely “Kere” westerner can still find a woman here. Monkey Hunter’s posting was amusing because he seemed to be suggesting that the culture here is stacked against mixed marriages with westerners whereas the opposite is true…

Ok…ok… I would like to talk between man to man…I just want to remind you… please do not rent an apartment on high floor so if once day your dollar is depleted and your girl love is fade away …you can go back to your own country safely
tsk tsk tsk..this tells me you’re jealous of the money that Bule apparently have. Careful friend, you’re showing your true colours…

There is no reason for us to hate the bule who has enough money but we do not want our street getting more slum because mass arrival of the bule kere…..it is much better to use our limited holy land for home of displaced Orang Utan rather than the another settlemen for the bule kere
Now… now… take off your trousers, and be ready with a standardized ruler. A metal one is better, it’s more precise than the plastic one.
Let’s check the fact:
This is average penis size based on race:
Asian White Black
Min (Inches) 4.0 5.5 6.3
Max 5.5 6.0 8.0
Mean 4.8 5.8 7.1
You think whitey has the longest penis? Not a chance! Black people is more endowed. And more…
An expert (a scientist that pervert enough to liking measuring penis) concluded that difference in penis size isn’t based on race but rather on nationality or ethnicity.
So, we’re talking about ethnicity here. Indonesian penises are small? Wait a minute, which ethnicity are you talking about. Although your girlfriend’s ex is surely not chinese, but I’m very sure that her ex bf is not Papuan nor Ambonese.
Boy, how I proud to be Indonesian. Our Papuan and Ambonese countrymen surely never let us down!
What a shame it is that you have such a low opinion of Indonesian women. Maybe this is why you can’t land any…I’ll let you in on the ’secret’ of why you are losing your ‘best’ women to Bule. It’s not about money or skin colour, it’s not about access to a country that doesn’t
Many thank God give us different preference about the woman, what you call as the best wowan but we consider her is only the best whore, it is for sale to whoever could get her with higher price and I tell you that our good woman is too afraid with your kind because we already inform her that the bule will not only shag the pussy but they will hit the anus as well therefore the most bule whore have abses and permanent damage in her onus
It’s about the ability to listen to women. This is something Indonesian men are lacking. We Bule are able to listen and we like what we hear. We hear things like,”I hate Indonesian men”, “they are so rough and unromantic”, “they never care about my feelings”, “they are hopeless in bed”, and my personal favourite, “they have a small Penis”…
Agree that our penis is too small for the vagina of the best whore therefore we sale it for you but our penis is still too big for a good woman even she already had 5 kids …I let you know that our good woman always drink Jamu and therefore, her pussy size is still intact and it is designed fit for purpose of our penis.
I think it’s too late for that…We Bule are already here, and there are more of us coming. Your beloved Orang Utan are all but extinct due to your own apathetic attitudes.
It is not too late, everything is still much in our control the bule could not settle and take ownership of land, we only allow them to stay in here until his last drop of dollar otherwise we will kick them back…..our government has been issuing many regulation to ensure that the only bule with enough dollar could stay in our holy land and the bule kere shall go back to their own country ASAP.
Clearly picturing your personality, but the last line… I think it’s a lie, at least that’s what you hope that you are–when you’re a kid. On the second thought, I think the ‘retired’, ‘reformed’ and ‘repentant’ are also lies.
I think we’re all Astronauts travelling through Space in a big spaceship named Earth.
As for ‘retired’, ‘reformed’ and ‘repentant’, I never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
I think we’ll also have our version of Ingsoc, which is Musric–for Muslim Cleric & Co.
Who will play the part of Winston Smith? Seriously though, I think there are versions of Ingsoc immerging all over the globe. Nothing to be afraid of, because we’ll still have each other to beat-up on…:)

@ Monkey Hunter
YES! You’ve hit the nail on the head there. Everything the Indonesian government and the Islamic councils do is cunningly planned to make expatriates’ lives as miserable and difficult as possible and to make sure that their daughters don’t marry shifty heathen whiteys.
No wonder it is so difficult for a white man to find an Indonesian wife… everyone’s out to get us!
Of course, we’d need to ship in at least another 50 million eligible “bule” males to marry all these desperate Indonesian lasses but honestly, I think you are on to something here… eventually those inferior local males will just give up and start breeding with eachother and all those women who’ve been turning you down because of “pressure from the culture” will be yours. You’ll be beating them off with sticks.
