In his words, Busyro shared his experiences accompanying victims from the New Order era to the present. Through this experience, Busyro saw that society tended to associate Islam with radicalism.
"So far, why are those labeled as radicals, why are they always Muslims. Only Muslims have often been made permanent defendants since the new order until now. To label someone, society, and law enforcers, they should be more careful," he said. Busyro.
In line with Busyro, Teki said that the concept of radicalism in law in law (UU) is flexible and unclear. Just because they disagree with most people, the authorities do not mean that person can be labeled an extremist, radicalism or terrorist.
“People often say that I am radicalized or extremist, just because my view is different from that of a group of people. Even so, I give a scientific research view and explain that this view is wrong. And when trying to portray radicalism following the law, it is sometimes very flexible".
