JAKARTA - INDONESIA'S largest Islamic organisation on Monday condemned protests by hardline groups against US President Barack Obama's planned visit to the mainly Muslim country.
Nahdlatul Ulama deputy chairman Maskuri Abdillah said the visit would strengthen frayed ties between the United States and the Muslim world.
'We call on all Muslims in Indonesia not to join any protest rejecting the visit of President Obama to Indonesia,' he told AFP. 'This call has been made following our concerns about a number of protests by some Muslim groups who stand against the visit. We must welcome Mr Obama as his visit will be positive in terms of the US relationship with the Muslim world.'
Thousands of demonstrators from radical Muslim group Hizbut Tahrir, which aims to establish an Islamic caliphate, rallied against Mr Obama on Sunday, tearing US flags and calling America a terrorist state. Such groups have little support in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim-majority country where Mr Obama lived for four years as a child.
He is scheduled to leave the United States on March 21 for the trip, which will include stops in Guam and Australia.
The visit is expected to build on a speech Obama gave last year in Cairo, in which he promised to mend fences with the Islamic world after years of discord under the previous administration of George W. Bush. 'Mr Obama has a different personality to his predecessor George Bush. Mr Obama has the political will to improve US ties with the Muslim world,' Mr Abdillah said. -- AFP
MY VIEWS:
Being an American president under the previous administration of George W. Bush, Mr Obama has to deal with a lot of nuisances which were remained by Mr Bush’s disapproving political career and one of the troublesome problems is the stiff relationship with Muslim world.
I am agree with Nahdlatul Ulama deputy chairman Maskuri Abdillah’s opinion. It’s important to hold a friendly and welcome attitude to the new American president because a steady and healthy relationship between two countries should not be found by a single member as it is the effort by both of their cooperation.
Besides, there are also many advantages would have been taken if the citizens in Indonesia could stop protesting the visit and remain silent. As a result, Indonesia government would earn many profits from America if they would connect cooperation in military and economy because the truth is that America is the strongest nation around the world nowadays.
I believe the clever government there will soon take actions to stop the protest activities and protect the visit of American supreme power.

Technology
With the developement of technology nowadays,our society is becoming more and more advanced and convenient.As for me, I find out that Internet plays an important role in my ordinary life.Especially after I have come to Singapore,I have to use Internet to finish my homework and contact with my parents,relatives and chinese friends which seemed not possible in China as our school didn't allow us to surf the internet too often.
To explain the importances of Internet for me,I think it should be neccesary to date back to my school life in China.Our teachers there were very strict about your consumption on computer because we had to face many challenging and furious competitions in our school. As a result,we don't have enough time to do something such as playing games or watching videos and our timetable is usually fully arranged on weekends.However,it doesn't mean that Chinese students never touch the Internet.Actually we do but the events we spend time on are quite different to distinct students.
For instance,hard-working students search study information,check e-mail and read news through internet and usually entertain themselves by listening to music,watching original English movies and sometimes manage their blogs recording their emotion.The lazy ones used to play games and waste much time in chat room.Indeed, I am not opposed to playing games or chatting with friends but I think it's not approving to spend too much time on them as they are both harmful to your eyes and plays no benefit to people.
Now my life in Singapore seems to be essential to be with a laptop all the time.There are so many events have shown that I cannot do without it.Can you give me any other means to check my e-mail,to set up my blogs,to fill in my webwork,to communicate with my fellows in China and do something without any limitation?No one can find out an answer apart from the Internet!
However,the most troublesome and irritating truth for me with my laptop is that I am bound in many aspects even through the omnipotent Internet.Our boarding school's connect speed is so slow because of the large usage there;my two sony laptops still seem alien to me;one laptop cannot make any sound due to some mysterious unknown reasons,another one's screen is too small to see;when I use the Internet,it is so unstable and my laptops awalys fall in the CRASH.
That's so irritating and unbelievable that I even cannot help to consider to shred them!!!
As I told my parents the present situation I am facing but the only affairs they could do were sighing and consoling me that I would return soon and my laptops could be sent to fix in June.
Shit!!! My amusing struggle in Internet ……
