Jupe is a declining celebrity who is doinfg anything to attempt reviving her business including breaking fast with the FPI thugs. A person with common sense and some intelligence doesn't go eating with trash.

"...preserve the nation's morals..."? I find MUI both offensive and redundant. Maybe all "sexy Dangdut singers" should move to ban the MUI and its ilk. Wouldn't be before time.

And being "sexy" could just draw much needed attention to just how utterly ridiculous people like Rafani are.

Way to go, ladies! You might be the only hope left for Indonesia.

MUI has this amusing obsession with women. Women scare the hell out of them.

Roland - yes she was with Raziq


A branch of the Indonesian Council of Ulema (MUI) is moving to ban erotic dangdut singers, including Inul Daratista, Dewi Persik and Julia Perez in what it says is a move to preserve the nation's morals.

The action follows a ban by the South Sumatra branch of MUI, Indonesia’s top Muslim clerical body established by former dictator Suharto. It has very little real power and its edicts or fatwas are generally ignored.

Besides Inul, Dewi and Jupe, MUI West Java branch secretary general Rafani Achyar said he wanted to ban Anisa Bahar, Uut Permatasari, Ira Swara, Nita Thalia and the group Trio Macan.

Rafani said it was the actions of the singers, not the individuals themselves or the music, that was offensive.

He said art could not be used as an excuse to protect the singers, saying art was something that was beautiful, not something that created chaos and crime.

“They [the women] can work for a living but they should not sacrifice morality.”
