I am both sad and disaapointed at the controversy surrounding Ms Miyabi starring in a comedy series here. These are my thoughts and comments on this matter without any bias nor prejudice. Firstly, just because she acted in porn films overseas, does this make her less of a human being than the so called religious clerics or any of us? Who are WE to make judgment on a fellow human being for what they do and how they make ends meet? Isn't GOD the One and Only who can judge any of us irregardless of our race or religion? Have any of the opposers spared a thought for her and the circumstances which made her become a porn actress in the first place? Instead of boycotting her, shouldn't they help steer her away from porn acting in the future? Why are they wasting time and money protesting and shouting anti-Miyabi slogans instead of quietly thinking about how best to help her integrate into mainstream Indonesian society on the "right" path? For that matter, isn't acting in mainstream film in Indonesia a fresh start for her? Is there no compassion and forgiveness in their religion and should any of us who has wronged before be branded "Once a thief, Always a thief"? This matter has nothing to do with whether Indonesia is a Muslim country or not. I'm very very sure all religions does not condone porn in any way or form. However, I'm also very sure that not all religions and countries will neglect and boycott one of their own citizens just because they have acted in porn in the past. So PLEASE INDONESIA, show the WORLD that you ARE a compassionate and forgiving society by accepting one of your own back into your society.
