REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- A political expert from Indonesia University, Maswadi Rauf, said Basuki Tjahaja Purnama 'Ahok' has offended Muslims. Even though, he needed Muslim voters, he ignored Muslims. "He is acting like he do not need any support from voters," Maswadi remarked. 

According to Maswadi, since the beginning Ahok seemed like he did not live in Indonesia. He joined an election and he needed support from the voters. "He acts like he is living in Singapore or Hong Kong,” said Maswadi to Republika.co.id on Saturday.

The rude attitude towards KH Ma’ruf Amin, said Maswadi, showed there was no willing to grab Muslims voters in the gubernatorial election. He saw Ahok absolutely did not want to get sympathy from Muslims. "And this would continue to happen."

يٰبَنِيْٓ اٰدَمَ لَا يَفْتِنَنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطٰنُ كَمَآ اَخْرَجَ اَبَوَيْكُمْ مِّنَ الْجَنَّةِ يَنْزِعُ عَنْهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوْاٰتِهِمَا ۗاِنَّهٗ يَرٰىكُمْ هُوَ وَقَبِيْلُهٗ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا تَرَوْنَهُمْۗ اِنَّا جَعَلْنَا الشَّيٰطِيْنَ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ لِلَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ
Wahai anak cucu Adam! Janganlah sampai kamu tertipu oleh setan sebagaimana halnya dia (setan) telah mengeluarkan ibu bapakmu dari surga, dengan menanggalkan pakaian keduanya untuk memperlihatkan aurat keduanya. Sesungguhnya dia dan pengikutnya dapat melihat kamu dari suatu tempat yang kamu tidak bisa melihat mereka. Sesungguhnya Kami telah menjadikan setan-setan itu pemimpin bagi orang-orang yang tidak beriman.

(QS. Al-A'raf ayat 27)
