Regardless of this, the degree of obedience among NU followers in Madura to NU kiais and the NU itself is high so that the NU can be considered as ‘religion’ of the Madurese. There is a popular anecdote that illustrates the strong connection between the Madurese and the NU. It is said that the late Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur, a former chairman of the NU and President of Indonesia) once visited Madura. A Madurese person proudly told Gus Dur that 99 per cent of Madurese people are Muslims, while only one per cent are Muhammadiyah followers. The story, despite its exaggeration, indicates that even today the rejection of Muhammadiyah -and also ofreformed and modern Islam- by madurese is evident. It signifies a strong acknowledgement of the NU in Madura. The NU in Madura, is basiclly moderate and has been triumphant in establishing political moderation. It also indicates a high degree of accommodation and adaptation.
