                  Indonesian Muslim Body Forbids Liberal Islam
                  Reuters 
                    
                  JAKARTA, 30 July 2005 - Indonesia's top Islamic council 
issued a religious edict yesterday forbidding any liberal interpretation of 
Islam in the world's most populous Muslim nation.

                  "Religious liberalism is haram (forbidden)," said a fatwa, or 
doctrine, issued by the Indonesian Ulemas Council (MUI) and seen by Reuters.

                  "This is a reminder for Muslims to follow the religion in a 
correct way and not to try to deviate from the principles," Ma'aruf Amin, chief 
the MUI's Fatwa Commission, told Reuters.

                  Another fatwa banned inter-religious marriages in Indonesia 
where 85 percent of its 220 million follow Islam.

                  There is widespread debate in Indonesia over inter-religious 
marriages with some clerics saying Muslim men can marry non-Muslim women.

                  But Amin said the MUI had decided to ban such marriages "for 
the sake of Indonesian Muslims".

                  "This is the strongest view at the MUI and we are doing this 
to improve the religion quality of the Muslim," Amin added.

                  The fatwas underlined the growing influence of hardliners in 
Indonesia, where most Muslims embrace a moderate form of Islam.

                  Indonesia is officially secular and recognizes Christianity 
and other religions.
