Other Side of Ahmad Dhani: Indonesian Legendary Musician

Now, I wanna share about the most controversial musician in Indonesia. Much people love him, and either who hate him. Dhani Ahmad Prasetyo (born May 26, 1972 in Surabaya), better known as Ahmad Dhani is an Indonesian rock musician. His Band, DEWA19 reach up leveled in music industies caused of his contribution. For Indonesian People, all of his contribution in music is undebatable. Everybody knows how genius he is in music, so I won't share that point. I want share the other side of him, how he make a move for his band managerial and spirituality of course, he follows tassawuf or sufi's way in spirituality.
Where's the controvercy??
Since his album Warriors of Love (Laskar Cinta) reportedly "challenged militant ideology" and was "massively popular" in Indonesia, he grab a lot of success. Dhani wanna share about democracy, a beautiful differences among human life, tolerance etc. For people that unmindful with him, he looks so western ideology, but in this case he show that tolerancy must have in religion life. He teach everybody that Islam is peaceful and beautiful, for that contribution, he had been invited by Australia and America to take an oration about tolerancy, and he also joining with Libforall Foundation.
