Zuly Qodir: Gus Dur the Cosmopolitan

KH Abdurrahman Wahid alias Gus Dur is a figure who is both admired and hated by his people—praised for his knowledge and contribution to Indonesian Islam. Hated because some of his thoughts and movements often go against the mainstream.
Said the Chairperson of the Islamic Political-Political Science Study Program UMY, Dr. Zuly Qodir, M.Ag in “Sang Cosmopolit” Book Discussion held by the Institute of Southeast Asian Islam (ISAIs) of UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta, Monday (17/2).
The Head of Study Program, who likes to play soccer, said that at this time, we need figures like Gus Dur, who teaches openness, respect for differences, maintain togetherness and keep discrimination away. Gus Dur maintained a friendship with anyone and showed fairness to anyone.
He revealed that Gus Dur was the nation’s teacher who was desired by this country when the problems of discrimination and extremism were widespread.
Besides Zuly Qodir, the book review also featured speakers including Alissa Wahid (Putri Gus Dur) and Hairus Salim (Book Author)
