Tetapi kinerja kita dibidang ini, nol besar. Bukannya memajukan IPTEK dibidang pertanian, pakar tani kita dari Bogor malah mengurusi negara khalifah. Memang mengurusi agama lebih gayeng, tapi hasilnya apa, gak ada yang tahu.. Bukannya bergelut dengan persoalan yang membumi, rakyat masih kelaparan dan terbelakang, yang diurus surga dan neraka, akhirnya bangsa ini berputar ditempat.. Wanita di Puncak dijadikan WTS terselubung agama, karena pria dari tanah tandus menikmati kehidupan sex yang murah... Semua atas nama syariat... kapan kita maju?
