"I agree Ahmadiyah heretical, but by no means should be expelled. Wrong, okay, I have received. But I can not tell the police expelled," Kalla said in a hearing of the Commission VIII DPR, Senayan, Jakarta, Thursday (17/02/2011) night. Solutions to problems that pahamnya JAI different from mainstream Islam, said Kalla, is with respect to one another in accordance with the mandate of the law. "Because of the religious law of each is different, we follow the state law only. Decisiveness secure this country," he said. The law of each religion, as well as fatwas Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) to his followers, according to Kalla, can not be used as positive law. That includes the MUI fatwa stating that Ahmadiyah heretical. "Islamic law can not be positive law. Tell alcohol forbidden, but can not be thrown away because we Pancasila state," he explained. Chairman of the Indonesian Red Cross center also of the opinion, the solution to all problems religious communities in Indonesia, including about Ahmadiyya, no one conclusion can be drawn. Solutions have to be seen case by case basis. "There is no one solution, depending on what the problem is. Rich doctors also, what complaints. It does not mean the same headache cure all," he said. Therefore, to be seen what the real issue in any conflict of religious background. Kalla pointed out differences in the solution to cases of violence in Poso, Ambon, and in Waterford, Central Java. According to Kalla, the problems in the conflict in Poso is a political issue. Non-Muslims feel do not get justice when almost all officials directly elected Poso Muslim. Though the composition of Muslims and Christians there is almost balanced. As before the reform, the Christians always get a balanced position in government. "Age of Soeharto's New Order, stability and well-arranged harmonies. Always when the governor of Islam, Christian representatives. So harmonious. But once the direct election reforms, because more people of Islam, all the governors, House of Islam," he explained. In contrast to that triggered the conflict in Waterford citizen dissatisfaction with the decision of the judge in the trial blasphemy. "If in Waterford, I think the problem is with a group of people do not accept the judge's decision. There is no solution. Yes depending on the problem, just look for a solution," said Kalla.
