REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA - National Human Rights Commission holds a plenary meeting to discuss about the rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender in Indonesia on July 3-4, 2013.

Many representatives of Islamic organizations oppose if the plenum will give freedom for same-sex marriage in Indonesia. MUI also warned that promoting human rights and imitating western values are two different things.

"Indonesia is Indonesia, and not America where gay and lesbian get acknowledgment based on humanitarian grounds. But here, we must help them with counseling, rather than recognizing and allowing them to have deviant sexual orientation in this country," Yusuf said on Wednesday.

While a young Indonesian ulama, Fahmi Salim, said that Indonesia was a sovereignty with five precepts of Pancasila as official philosophical foundation. Recognition towards gay and lesbian in Indonesia is contrary to local wisdom.

"Same-sex marriage is a threat to humanity and man as a the leader on this earth. Pancasila (Five Precepts) is our national guidance which states Believe in the One Supreme God (first point) and Just and Civilized Humanity (second point)," Salim said.

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)
