Common sense approach among religious group against Kopi Luwak ? Tell me why now they call it Fatwa where kopi luwak exist long time before the topic brought up ? Too busy with corruption, fraud, bribery, and extortion? Common non-sense.

I think this fatwa was good for MOSLEM which they try to do something legal amongst their religion. The status of luwak coffee was still disputable,halal or haram. When the MUI was questioned by moslem, they should answer based on sharia, and MUI did it...i realize that the most of poster here were non moslem so their posts are ridiculous, un connect with the problem..about corruption, extortion, bribery. Those status were very clear : Haram, so no need more fatwa, every moslem knew that...

WHO CARES! That stuff is good. Not as expensive if you go to the place they make it

Corruption, fraud, bribery and extortion in this country....have never been on the fatwa list. There are human trademarks therefore it can be forgiven...that would be the common sense approach among religious groups. Whatever !!!

With the multitude of problems confronting the Republic of Indonesia, how in Gods name can these people really devote time to an issue that at $600 a kilo, like most citizens of RI, for me economics will determine the reality as to whether I ever could afford this supposed luxury. MUI & NU should address the rampant corruption that pervades most bureaucracies in RI and severely affects the quality and standard of living of the citizens of Indonesia at large. Dealwith the real issues and not matters as irrelevant as defecated coffee, which is just a gimmick of no real substance what so ever.

Chewing the fatwa?

These sort of fatwas are actually good because they show intelligent people just how loopy these organisations really are.

That is like Britney Spears patenting the sound of her fart. Can you imagine no one being allowed to release a fart that sounds like hers?

Those poor B......s, nothing better to do with their lives. Go and get an honest job

There's a lot more worse happened now to categorized as Fatwa rather than consume Kopi Luwak.

Rape, Murder, Corruption, Extortion !!!!

I bet these people don't even know what Fatwa means.

They should worry more about keeping the hearts and souls clean: It is the impurities in these that is the problem here.

Just out of curiosity, do lying, thuggery, corruption, extortion, stand-over tactics,and theft (which, like drinking coffee, are fairly common events in Muslim Indonesia,) make a person ritually impure?

So, I put a case to you: One man drinks kopi luwat and then goes to the mosque for prayers.

Another man has spent the morning negotiating and accepting a bribe. He also goes to the mosque for prayers.

Now which of these two men is unclean in the sight of God?

why not banning the extremist first.. extremist organisation, extremist clerics, extremist people. they do alot greater harm than this measly "kopi luwak". to you mui, i recommend you to GET A LIFE!
