Ichsan

Thank very much Gus Dur
and be Happy in Heaven
Many Chairman of Indonesian Religions from Budha, Hindhu, Kristen, Catolic, Kong Huchu said: You are the true Pluralist

(Nahdhatul Ulama) NU is the big Islamic Organization in Indonesia, by this time many viewed NU as stagnant organization. After careful discussion, The Religious advisory council finally formed s term of seven (which included Abdurahman Wahid) to tackle the issue reform and to help revitalize NU. For some members of NU, reform in the organization involved a change of ledership. On 2 May 1982, a group of hight rangking NU officiala met with Nu Chairman Idham Chalid and asked for his resignation. Idham, who had guided NU in the transition from Sukarno to Suharto resisted at first but bowed down to pressure. On 6 May 1982. Abdurahman Wahid heard of Idham's decision to resign and approached him saying that the demands being made for him to resign were unconstitutional. With urging from Abdurahman Wahid, Idham withdrew his resignation and Abdurahman Wahid, together with the team of Seven was able to negotiate a compromise between Idham Chalid and those who had asked for his resignation. In 1983, Suharto President was re elected to a fourth term as President by the people's Cosultative Assembly (MPR) and began taking steps to establish Pancasila as the state Ideology. From June 1983 to Oktober 1983, Abdurahman Wahid became part of team which was commissioned to prepare NU's response to this issue. Abdurahman Wahid consulted texts such as the Qur'an and Sunnah for Justification and finally, in October 1983, concluded that NU should accept Pancasila as State Ideology. To further revitalize NU, Abdurahman Wahid was also succesful in securing its withdrawal from Partai Persatuan Pembangunan (PPP) and Party politics. This was done so that, NU can focus on social matters instead of hampering itself by being involved in politics.
