REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, SEMARANG— Chairman of the Ansor Youth Movement Central Java, Sholahudin Aly said the values of kindness in a religion that runs constantly will become a tradition that will then be cultured.

“When we talk culture, we talk universal. It will definitely happen across religions,” Gus Sholah said in a review of Lazyra Amadea's book “Pulo Geulis, Setapak Keberagaman” by Lazyra Amadea in Semarang on Friday.

According to him, any religion teaches goodness. He exemplified the religious values that eventually became cultural, the homecoming tradition.

He explained his early homecoming as a silaturahim tradition which has now become universal. “But now everyone is experiencing and feeling. It's these universal cultural values that unite all,” he said.
