Moslems are not tolerant?

On July 1, 2009, Dr. Marwa El-Sherbini, a Muslim woman who was three months pregnant was killed by a non-Muslim in the Court of Dresden Germany. Dr. Marwa was killed with a very barbaric. He bombarded knife as much as 18 times, and died in the courtroom.

Dr. Marwa is present in court, complaining about a German boy named Alex W who called him a "terrorist" because she wore a headscarf. On one occasion, she also never tried to remove the veil Marwa, a Muslim Egyptian. In that trial, Dr. Alex just kills.Marwa with the savage. Marwa husband who tried to defend his wife actually hit the officer.

Perhaps because the Muslim victims, and perpetrators of non-Muslim indigenous people, the great event it is not a national issue, let alone international. Apparently, the case was not an attractive commodity news and sold!

Comparing with the case of injury to a Christian priest Ciketing HKBP in Bekasi, due to clashes with Muslim masses. Despite going on throughout the village, incredible noisy world. U.S. Secretary Hilary Clinton to join comment. Www.reformata.com Christian news site, on 20 September 2010, lowering the news: "U.S. Secretary Concerned about HKBP Ciketing".

Following Ciketing case, the International Crisis Group (ICG), in its website, (www.crisisgroup.org) also makes a bad picture of the condition of religious tolerance in Indonesia: "Religious tolerance in Indonesia has come under strain in recent years Increasing, particularly hardline Nowhere Islamists and Christian Evangelicals Compete for the Same Ground. "

Many Muslim people stunned by the phenomenon unfairly information that may befall them. While accompanying President Barack Obama to see Istiqlal Mosque, Prof. KH Ali Mustafa Ya'qub convey Washington's surrogate Muslims who had seven years of waiting for permission establishment Mosque. In fact, the land already available. Permission has been filed and has not yet come out.

The problem is, who became victims of Muslim! Perhaps, by various parties, the case of the Muslims is not considered an attractive commodity news and worth selling.
Cases attack places of worship and Muslim people in the Western world are very abundant data. Hatred against Muslims increased after the events of 11 September 2001. Various reports indicate the occurrence of vandalism in many mosques and Muslim tombs in almost all European. Abuses against Islam as done by Dutch politician Geertz Wilders, is also not become an international issue of abuse of Islam.

On February 12, 2010, Jakarta Christian Communication Forum (FKKJ) disseminate data destruction of churches in Indonesia.They said, until early 2010 there has been almost about 1200 pieces of the church was damaged and closed. This news spread throughout the world.
Fantastic! There are 1200 churches destroyed in Indonesia, a Muslim country in the world! Naturally, if the exposure rate would appear negative perceptions of Indonesia and the Muslims. At least, could emerge opinion, what a savage and not tolerant of Muslims in Indonesia! If the case of one church in Bekasi Ciketing just reached the ears of Hillary Clinton, what about 1200 cases of destruction of the church!

Unfortunately, no comprehensive and honest analysis of why and what type of damage experienced by these churches. Data Research Agency Ministry of Religious shows, the growth of Protestant churches in Indonesia in the period 1977-2004, indicating a fantastic rate, ie, 131.38 percent. The Catholic Church is more fantastic, 152 percent. While the growth of the Muslim houses of worship rose 64.22 percent over the same period.

Digit growth in Indonesia, a fantastic church that it should also exposed by Christian institutions to the international world, for their reports more balanced and fair to the religious conditions in Indonesia! That if there is a desire to build Indonesia as a house together, to be more just, prosperous, and prosperous.

In the matter of religious tolerance, between opinion and fact it can be much different. The Muslim community is replete with such engineering. Western World more many years fooled by opinions that created the Zionists, that Palestinian land is vacant, devoid of inhabitants. Over the years many Westerners believe, that Israel is "David" while Arab countries are "Goliath". Now, many are already open her eyes, what really happened.

In recent times following the journalistic trip abroad, between the years 1996-1997, I saw how the problem of Islamization in East Timor was sometimes raised by Western journalists in a press conference with government officials RI. They are influenced by Bishop Belo's campaign for years that there has been an Islamization in East Timor, among others, facilitated by the Armed Forces.

In fact, the facts speak the other. What happened in the integration of East Timor with Indonesia is Katolikisasi! Not Islamisation!Results of research Prof. Bilver Singh from Singapore National University, showed, in 1972, Catholics numbered only 187,540 East Timorese from a population of 674,550 inhabitants (27.8 percent). In 1994, the number of Catholics to 722,789 from 783,086 the total population (92.3 percent). In 1994, Muslims in East Timor only 3.1 percent. So within 22 years under Indonesia, East Timor, the number of Catholics increased by 356.3%. In fact, the Portuguese only, for 450 years only able to colonize the East Timor East Timorese to be Catholic 27.8%.

Seeing the growth of population which is fantastic Catholic, Thomas Michel, Executive Secretary of the Federation of Asian Bishops Conference, based in Bangkok, said, "The Catholic Church in East Timor to grow faster than any other region in the world." (See, Bilveer Singh, East East, Indonesia and the World, Myth and Reality (New York: IPS, 1998).
That's a fact. However, opinions differ internationally. A number of Islamization in East Timor case removed and exaggerated so that drowned large images of religious conditions in East Timor at that time.

This skill creates opinions! Need salute. Religious leaders fulfill their function as a campaigner, that his people oppressed, threatened, and need international help. And, the campaign was reaping amazing results! World asked to believe that the Christians are threatened and oppressed in Indonesia; that there is no tolerance, there is no religious freedom in this Muslim country. Various NGOs in Indonesia was busy announcing the results of research that the condition of religious freedom in Indonesia is very bad.

Way beyond the limits of exploitation cases this proportion is very detrimental to the image of the nation. In fact, look at the facts!Indonesian Muslims are familiar with the diversity in religious life.Muslims are accustomed to receiving official-non-Muslim authorities in sitting in key positions of state. Muslims are very unusual to see the TV we show other religions in the national television station. Religious holidays was distributed proportionally.

Look, how many Muslims handful of people who are given the opportunity to become high officials in Western countries, until recently. Look, if the Muslim call to prayer echoes free there, as the Christians in Indonesia from the church bell rang. Is there a holiday for the Muslims during the feast days and, as the Christians enjoy Christmas and Easter holidays?
If you want to enjoy the beauty of the face of a girl, look at the whole face! If only one or two pimples that at focuses warning and stared at an all-out, then a pretty face will disappear from the eye!
The Muslims must really love this country. Muslims must love tolerance, harmony, and peace. However, Indonesian Islamic leaders M. Natsir, had pleaded: "... even if it is a treasure that we love of everything that is religion and our faith. That's what we want to pass on to our children and grandchildren and descendants. Do not try these gentlemen also cut the ropes of this legacy! "
The Muslims need to continue to take the wisdom and lessons from various cases that may befall them. Also, the Muslims, especially the activist propaganda, needs to continuously improve the quality and ability of preaching, so they are not easily fooled and deceived. (www.rainbowdiplomacy.com)

Warning on anti-corruption in the country corrupt = Formalities

noreply@blogger.com (Publisher : Danari & Danari) — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 14:50:00 +0000

Combating corruption in a country that has been entrenched and very systematic, and the corrupt is a collection of people who are very intelligent, with a very strong network and very spacious. Thus, the worldwide Corruption Day is just a formality, will not impact anything even allegorical parade, carnival and even consumption of the entire logistics warning anti-corruption day is not impossible financed by the corrupt and the network that does have a position of economic and political position is very strong and established.

Instead there was no warning and thought pro on corruption, then in this country also implemented the warning today, and conducted annually each December 9th, this year last year and several years ago and also next year and some next year. Eradication of corruption by a parade, carnival, full of spirit oration and also even verbal abuse on the perpetrators and suspects of corruption just a very busy one day only. Furthermore, the work and melukan corrupt activities as usual, fixed position and the position safely.

Too many cases of corruption in this country which ultimately only be a discourse and not go over well into the debate for many years. Corruption and abuse of power for the case of Bank Indonesia liquidity assistance (BLBI) became increasingly blurred, Century Bank case also the same fate, legal issues drawn into political issues that ultimately become a conspiracy between the rulers and businessmen, and even worse there are non-governmental organizations (NGOs ) a very loud shout anti koruspsi on the other hand they negotiate funding request''the struggle''to corrupt.

Very slick, smart and very systematically corrupt conduct maneuvers, they were very masive and intelligently enter into a legal institution in this country, prosecutors and police judges supreme court is an institution that is not free from corrupt practices, two other institutions Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK ) and also the Constitutional Court (MK), two institutions that have been considered are also beginning to clean contaminated with the practice, with a highly corrupt conspiracy still operate to spread the virus to all the judiciary.

What about the other distinguished institutions. House of Representatives (DPR), the people who claimed to be the representatives of the people are very pessimistic, this agency is very corrupt and even collaborate with the corrupt, they are very clever people pretend to fight, but they only do political bargaining to strengthen and enrich the political position alone.

The Court and the Commission is the target for the castrated and reduced strength. You do this by adding a variety of laws and rules that make the KPK is not functioning optimally, such as at the beginning of super-agency body was formed. Even President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has never felt so uncomfortable with the power of the KPK. Counterattack the koruptir done very systematically against the Commission, the thing done to both the commission Anggodo Widjoyo really spectacular, two KPK leader was arrested and became a legal game between police, prosecutors and the Supreme Court.

Corruption in this country very badly, even when these citizens out of the house to conduct its activities have had to deal with corrupt practices. The officials are very serious look with all his statement, would eradicate corruption in our beloved country, but they only made the statement, when what should be done to combat corruption is the implementation.

Why be ashamed to follow the example of''what the Chinese state.Legal dead grafters!, If invited Act is weak, just change the laws.During the rule and man-made laws are not impossible will be changed. But I got to thinking again, if the death penalty for corrupt completely removed, then how many officials and important people who should be sentenced to death for corruption,''said Chairman MK Mahfud MD.

The corruptor with conspiracy is a collection of intelligent people and has a very broad and strong network. They are very difficult to be eradicated and destroyed, but that does not mean there is no hope, but hope to sometime. The country is already too long undermined the corruptor. Tambunan Gaius case worth billions of dollars, this is just a small case. There are still too many cases of corruption with a number of really fantastic in this beloved country.

Therefore, the memorial day of anti corruption world will only remain a day of commemoration without meaning, the maximum they are doing a demo only clashed with security officers who guard government buildings or buildings that happened to be those who are suspected of corruption. And now the Court is going recriminations who committed corruption and who is not clean of corruption, and this problem is guaranteed to reach a settlement that vague and unclear. Happy Anti-Corruption Day. May the survivors. (www.rainbowdiplomacy.com)

SBY is less intelligent look at the situation

To become president, especially with countries that are too many problems is not easy, and it can not be solved only with a sad face, even grief or disaster that befell the country could memperpecat solving a problem or even just adds new problems even potentially threaten the continuity of the state The unity of Indonesia.

If the case of the Tsunami in Aceh Special Region at that time can be used to resolve the conflict between the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) with the Government of Indonesia, which occurred over the decades and change of generations. Tsunami disaster into a blessing and encouragement to bring about peace. But this is totally different from the problems that occurred in Yogyakarta Special Region, which until now has not been clearly distinctive status.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono at the time of opening a limited cabinet meeting at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta on 26 November 2010 said that democratic values should not be ignored. Therefore, there should be no monarchy system that collided, both with the constitution and with the values of democracy. Of course, SBY statement raises a very negative reaction, and not just a DIY but from some areas that still contained the kingdom.

Kingdom of Yogyakarta Sultanate which had stood before the founding of the Republic of Indonesia, its people are very offended and angry with SBY. Areas not yet recover from natural disasters the eruption of Mount Merapi, then added with SBY statement considered to be very painful. DIY governor who is also King Yogjakarta reacted quite calmly and rationally, but the people of Yogyakarta which is known to behave fine react very strongly to the statement SBY, they are even challenged to hold a referendum. Are all the people of Yogyakarta would prefer royal or democratic system.

''System of government in the province of DIY is not based on the monarchy. Although Sultan Hamengkubuwono X also serves the governor, it was taken according to the rules berlaku.Saya do not know the meaning of the monarchy who delivered the central government. DIY is the same system of governance and management organization with the other provinces, in accordance with the Constitution, Law, and its implementing regulations. What is a monarchy was due to chance Sultan became governor? "Said Sultan Hamengkubuwono X a day after Yudhoyono statement.

Sultan HB X questioned the draft Plan Privileges Act (RUUK) DIY proposed by the government to the House of Representatives (DPR), whether it is actually not a breath of the monarchy? He showed, in the draft RUUK DIY, the Sultan HB X and Paku Alam, who dwells will occupy a new position, namely Parardhya, which has some special authority.

"In the draft RUUK government, the Sultan and Paku Alam is in Parardhya institutions, which have the right of immunity, this means the law can not be reached, if it does not conflict with the constitution? Is it democratic or even the monarchy? "He said.

Sultan HB X said, he was appointed governor in the era of President BJ Habibie and Megawati Sokernoputri appropriate mechanisms and regulations. House of Representatives (DPRD) nominate candidates through fractions, then held a plenary meeting (plenary session of Parliament), the decision requested for the president to issue a letter of appointment of the governor's decision.

Sultan HB X states, if he as the Sultan is considered disturbing the arrangement of the central government administration in DIY-related selection or determination of the governor of Yogyakarta, Sultan will reconsider the office of governor which he held it. "Had I considered to inhibit the process of restructuring the central government of DIY, the office of governor who is in me I will reconsider," he said.

However, Sultan HB X does not clarify the purpose statement. He invited the public to interpret its own. Sultan HB X said, in the process of democratization, there should be dialogue with the society that is based on sincerity and honesty. Thus, society becomes the subject in the process of democratization.

Associated with filling the office of governor-lieutenant governor of Yogyakarta, according to Sultan, it must be asked of the people because it is the people's sovereignty holders.

"Do not just view the democratic or undemocratic only on procedural aspects. When it comes to aspects of the determination or election (governor DIY), fully determine the rights that exist in society, not me, "he said.

Yogjakarta public reaction even harder, they even challenge for a referendum, whether people choose the system of royal or governmental system in force as long as this. Statement SBY get another case with a strong reaction when faced with the problem of Aceh. The role of the vice president that does not work optimally is one factor why people react very hard.

According to Anhar Gongong, one historian from the University of Indonesia, the Kingdom of Yogyakarta Sultanate has a great service to the founding of the Republic of Indonesia, Yogyakarta even have sacrificed for the sake of the Republic of Indonesia and give everything else to the founding of this republic. If now they do not like the statement SBY, it is very normal and even challenging to hold a referendum.

''The referendum in the constitution of this country is not known, but it is also not impossible will be pursued and implemented. But the consequences will be terrible. If the central government approved and carry out a referendum, then some areas would have asked the same thing. Some areas that have been less happy to join with the Government of the Republic of Indonesia would have asked the same thing, and finally this republic would be destroyed,''said Anhar.

Come on in gentlement SBY immediately apologize to the people of Yogyakarta, and the apology should be conducted openly. Why, the question of Yogyakarta has widened and become a national problem that will be very influential nationally as well. Raden Kanjeng Tumenggung Djatiningrat, one of the Yogyakarta royal relatives say, SBY has been very disappointing the people of Yogyakarta, one of the easiest and cheapest way is to immediately apologize.

Effendi Ghazali, a political communications expert says, this time the President is not taking into account the feelings and the situation in Yogyakarta, so miscalculated what the reaction will occur in Yogyakarta. Political adviser to the president less careful with this issue, a presidential statement which will be spread anywhere and cause negative reactions in a very fast, this is absolutely no benefit to anyone.

Former Chairman of the Board of Nahdlatul Ulama KH Hasyim Muzadi suggested President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono did not harass the Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X. This is feared to provoke negative sentiment the people of Yogyakarta.

"SBY should not tamper with the Sultan through the process of law, even as the government had the right legislation, because the impact will hit back SBY through the emotional waves of Yogyakarta residents, if the discourse of the referendum in Yogyakarta increasingly widespread. If up to the referendum goes on, will have broad impact on salvation of the republic, "said Secretary General of the International Conference of Islamic Scholars such.

According to Hashim, Yogyakarta Special Region government system should be allowed to remain as present as a form of privilege that area. He states, it does not matter if the Governor of Yogyakarta is not the result of the election, and it does not necessarily mean in Yogyakarta apply monarchy system.

"Not only the historical factors and the Sultanate services to the Republic of Indonesia, but the fact is that the reign of Sultan of Yogyakarta with the people directly elected parliament and jointly responsible to the central government, where monarkinya," he said.

Interior Minister Gamawan Fauzi express statement by President had been arrested in the wrong by some circles. "At that the President just gave an introduction about the three aspects must be considered in the discussion RancanganUndangUndang Privileges Yogyakarta, namely the monarchy, democracy, and constitution," he said.

Contempt and Dignity of the Nation State

noreply@blogger.com (Publisher : Danari & Danari) — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 04:40:00 +0000

Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to Indonesia became the target demo, which deals with cases of torture Indonesian Workers (TKI), especially an attractive woman and performed a demo of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) between the demonstration and the demonstration wearing similar clothing. Middle Eastern-style clothing, demo FPI led by Habib Umar Salim, head of the FPI to the Special Jakarta Special Region (DKI) is running fine, no physical violence like that is always suggested to FPI for this. Demos take place smoothly. Why, Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia maintained a very strict and very tightly by the Jakarta Police. The number of personnel guarding the embassy were five times more than normal care, even already prepared additional troops if necessary.

Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to Indonesia Abdurrachman Al Khayyat and his staff are certainly very quiet, safe and even comfortable. They were not disturbed and moved by the protesters, and they not only FPI but various elements of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) doing a demo, the former Labor Women (TKW), who had worked in Saudi Arabia, and they all have bad times while working in the oil-rich countries, who claim to apply the Shari'a (law) of Islam in his country.

Sharia''which is applied? They even destroy Islam and humiliate the Islamic Shari'a. It is implementing Islamic Sharia only to taste and interests, the interests of the rich and ruthless employers who do not respect human dignity. This is our attacks, we remind you,''said Habib Umar Salim.

Whatever their reasons for such a treat maids, torture, humiliate and do not pay salaries TKW even commit murder, it's all wrong, and should not be confused with the Islamic Shari'a. This noble religion never taught and approved the actions that deviate like that was happening to our brothers of the maids, and this issue should be straightened. Those who commit crimes and mistakes should be punished accordingly, continued Omar Copy.

I, said Omar Salim, a Muslim embarrassed by the incident of this kind, sad to what happens to our brothers in Saudi Arabia. Of the thousands of cases related to our brother, all of the solution is very detrimental to our brother, while their real crimes remain at large in Saudi Arabia. And more sad again, the Indonesian Government did not powerless against it. The government only take care of repatriation of the corpse, and even then often not current. TKW rights received no maximum, because it is the position of the Government of Indonesia is very weak in all sides, especially financially. As a result of corrupt countries. The law does not expressly and very dependent on other countries, including to Saudi Arabia.

Meanwhile, the international political observer from the University of Indonesia Prof. Hikmahanto Juwana said, the Government and the State of Indonesia does not have the courage and strength in any issues affecting migrant workers and migrant workers abroad. Why, from within the country itself is already very weak. Migrant workers and migrant workers are not protected by the rules and laws that are clear and certain, whereas with the destination country and TKW TKI no perjajian and laws that protect them.

Officials in the state''does not need to debate and berwacana in dealing with its citizens working abroad. Examples of just how the Philippines at the time resolve its labor cases that have problems abroad, they could be why we do not,''he said.

In addition, we must reflect in our own country, too many weaknesses that make the citizens of this country are forced to work abroad, if anyone who leads this country capable of eradicating corruption, and make the country prosperous and its citizens in the economic field, then none citizens who want to work abroad, let alone just a maid. It is lawful employment, but in a weak and very vulnerable position to be insulted, and it's all been proven.

Meanwhile, activist Anis Hidayati of Migrant Care said, cases that occurred in Saudi Arabia against migrant workers, especially migrant workers during one year alone has already reached more than 8000 cases, ranging from torture, murder, unpaid salaries, rape by employers and other violence. Another similar case also occurred in Malaysia. Two of this country is the country's most troubled.

The government, it responded on the case terjahap maids, but they responded as well as warriors late, all the defense stance is issued, all the officers spoke to defend, after the maids suffered torture and even death. ''I would be more respected if the Government is able to make citizens prosperous so that they do not have to be labor overseas, especially in a highly risky position.''

The maids are having problems because they are not educated and less educated, how can they get an education with good and right in the country, the cost of education is very expensive, let alone to go to school, to eat only they have been very difficult. But if forced to become migrant workers protect them with laws and rules that are clear, give insight on the state government worker goals.

One more step taken by the government is less precise, the President ordered the State Minister of Women and Child Protection, Linda Ameliasari Agum Gumelar to Saudi Arabia to meet with his administration to resolve the case and other cases Sumiati TKI. This is a fatal strategic mistake.

Until now the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has not been granted a visa for a minister from Indonesia. Why, culture in Saudi Arabia are not allowed to receive women in the negotiations, irrespective of their positions. Should have sent them a very understanding Arab culture, is fluent in Arabic. ''They were in this country in large amounts but the government did not want to take advantage of them. I am pessimistic with the mission of women's affairs minister who implemented it will solve the problem,''said Misrawi, one of the scholars of Islam.

Factors why the people of Indonesia must find the money abroad, because in Indonesia alone the number of job opportunities are very limited, if any, that too has been caught with outsourching systems, cut their income every month by these employment services, and workers in the state contracted for three months alone, about extended or not it is all that decides the company where they work.

Working abroad, their foreign exchange earned as a hero, but still cut their income by employment services, even officially cut with a variety of reasons made by the Department of Labor through the employment services overseas. At the time of migrant workers and migrant workers returned from abroad on their arrival airports are separated from other passengers, they were forced to exchange currency that was taken from their home countries to work, and exchange rates was determined that state employees.

This is only a fraction of the problems faced by migrant workers and migrant workers. They only become cash cows from year to year, while in this state of corruption that occurred in number from year to year is remarkable, if the country is well taken care of, corruption does not happen and well-educated citizens, no outsourching if this rule is legal force, change with the higher law, then none of citizens who want and work as maids abroad with a terrible risk, at least in a culture they have insulted.

Obama, no benefit to Indonesia

noreply@blogger.com (Publisher : Danari & Danari) — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 00:05:00 +0000

For the United States (U.S.) State of Indonesia, not at all taken into account. Although this country has the largest population in the world number four, the majority of even the largest Islamic population in the world and has the natural resources of extraordinary. Why, Indonesia did not have the power as a threat or as a partner for the U.S.. It is told by Professor William Liddle of Ohio State University USA. One very expert on Indonesia.

In addition, in Southeast Asia only Indonesia forum does not have a dominant force, both in the political, military, let alone the economy. Meanwhile, as the country's largest Muslim population, Indonesia did not have a significant and dominant force in the Middle East, Central Asia and other areas associated with Islam. In the economic field, in total banking in Indonesia did not have sufficient dollars in order to demonstrate its role. And that means the U.S. still puts Indonesia as the country's poor.

U.S. stance is very different to China, Japan, South Korea and India. For the U.S. Indonesia is still considered a country export market and also the country that still may be exploited natural resources for the sake of U.S. interests.

Therefore, from all sides of the current state of Indonesia is very weak from all sides, hence the arrival of U.S. President Barrack Hussein Obama is less than 24 hours in Indonesia-Jakarta and its surroundings at all will not have any impact for Indonesia, except hope. Obama and his entourage to leave Indonesia as soon as possible, because according to geologists who brought in rombonganya suggested that as soon as possible to leave Indonesia, because of volcanic ash by the eruption of Mount Merapi.

Meanwhile Farid Wajdi, one of the 66 current force into the struggle of Islamic activists say, what was delivered by President Obama and President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) in a joint press conference after a meeting between two heads of government are only just meeting sweetener . Comprehensive relationship, absolutely not going to happen. Obama would come to Indonesia simply by calculation and consideration will be able to rake in huge profits from Indonesia.

The relationship of equals''in the areas of cooperation the two countries, it is also nonsense. No need to talk too high, the question of Freeport in Papua settle first. Contract management of gold mines that are not fair and it lasted for decades twenty years. Indonesia only get a share of 9 percent only. Another example in the management of oil by Exxon's Natuna Islands of Indonesia only 6 percent share,''said Farid.

But worse, the U.S. and also Obama's popularity in Indonesia has reached 80 percent more, and president of the super power country is so very popular and highly respected even in the state of Indonesia which is still affected inlader complex. Regard and feeling all that comes from the West and Europe is better, extraordinary and worthy of respect. In fact that happens, it's tens and even hundreds of years they were the leaders of Western and European countries do perampokkan natural resources and the wealth of Indonesia, and also rob the sovereignty of this country.

See, during the preparation Obama came to Jakarta, Obama was in Jakarta during the whole street had tremendous traffic jam. Jakarta, which is already jammed during the growing traffic jams. This is just one small example of the many problems that state and government is not sovereign at all, if U.S. leaders came to this country.

The figure Obama had indeed been almost four years living in Jakarta with his mother, sister and stepfather, and this by a majority of those who sincerely hope that Obama will be more attention to Indonesia and its people. This is all nonsense, Obama is still able to speak very fluent Indonesian. But what they forget that a U.S. president only carry out foreign and domestic politics that have been outlined his country. ''It's not what is desired Indonesia, but what is desired and that the U.S. government which carried U.S. president, whoever the president,''said Farid.

Those who feel pretentious familiar with Obama and claimed as school friends, close friends, neighbors, friends far away or anything that may be associated with Obama for four years living in Indonesia, is not guilty, they are still thinking and acting in good faith, they still think and act with the way Indonesia is very friendly. However, they should be aware, what and how Obama's current position, he is a head of state politics running negarannya.

Obama's public lecture at the University of Indonesia, are certainly very interesting and followed a lot of people from various circles and those who took part in a public lecture that was more honorable and other pride as it gets invitation from the U.S. embassy to Indonesia, and indeed the majority of U.S. very popular in Indonesia and the Indonesian students was very much hope to get a scholarship and an invitation to study in the U.S., which still makes this appeal to the majority of students in Indonesia.

In addition, Obama's visit to the Istiqlal Mosque. The biggest mosque in Indonesia, Obama will only become more profitable course. These foster the impression that Obama is very concerned about Islam, because it's part of Obama's blood line father senior Obama was a Muslim. The name Hussein is in the middle name of Barack Obama is occasionally used for official events.

''The Islamic world has never asked Obama to behave better towards Islam. Overall it is a promise Obama himself when he campaigned to become president and also the promise of Obama after he was inaugurated as U.S. president. But in fact, to this day Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba that many of those detained were accused of being terrorists and they are mostly Muslims, are not closed. Obama promises to close it,''said Hidayat Nurwachid, one of the Indonesian Muslim scholar.

In addition, the appointment will draw troops from Iraq was in Iraq to this day still entrenched 30 thousands more U.S. combat troops with all the most sophisticated combat equipment, in addition to the presence of U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan hunting down terrorists who with reason, but until the second they keep doing this occupation. ''Keep in mind, during the Obama administration, tenpur unmanned aircraft that dropped the most frequently used bombs, and it resulted in massive death.''

The presentation''Obama, said Obama said anywhere, including in a public lecture at the University of Indonesia are very fascinating and interesting and full of hope. But for us than all that much more important is the real action and prove his words were,''said Hidayat.

Obama Coming to Jakarta is kuar usual, and the White House protocol set in such a way, Obama's political image as State President Adi Counsel indicated in total, in addition to the security personnel involved in a number of very large and would cause traffic congestion which is extraordinary. So at Halim Airport Perdamakusuma fighter engine in the form of helicopters and Chinook and Blackhawk also, of course, the presidential plane Air Force One on display to anticipate all possibilities.

Though the threat of terrorist or other violent threats encountered absolutely no anti-Obama demonstration even number and coverage area is very small. And Obama himself was enjoying a meal at a state dinner. ''It's all good, and I've tried it,''said Obama, who is fluent in Bahasa Indonesian. (www.rainbowdiplomacy.com)

Natural Disaster Donations are Haram and Unclean

noreply@blogger.com (Publisher : Danari & Danari) — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 11:44:00 +0000

By: Yoedi Karyono

Indonesian archipelago disaster-prone and vulnerable to various problems, and now hit by natural disasters that insistent insistently. In one month alone during October successive natural disasters, and certainly with all the disasters that cause a sense of empathy for the world. But inside the country itself there also issued a statement with their cynical about the disaster. Well, this raises new problems which of course will drain a lot of wasted energy.

All natural disasters for a month creates a sense of empathy consecutive exceptional in various circles. From abroad, of course, there are even a lot, and also from the artist. Tom Cruise is well known artists in Indonesia provide a sense of empathy to garner donations for disaster in Papua Wassior, Mentawai of West Sumatra and also Merapi in Central Java. Steps taken by Tom Cruise is surely provoke a positive reaction to other artists to do the same, contributing to all the victims of natural disasters in accordance with capabilities.

Hot artist, Pamela Anderson is so far in Indonesia is known through a variety of films and all films starring the female genitalia exhibit also has contributed directly. Originally in the form of cash donations amounting to USD 25,000 is all the result fee to be photographed nude in Playboy magazine. Honor cash was immediately given for the purpose of helping those affected by natural disasters in Indonesia, and it is Pamela honorarium for appearing in a magazine once that was known to exploit a woman's body without clothing.

Of course, "good intentions and noble" Pam Anderson is not always welcomed. Why, bagaiamanapun state of Indonesia is a country which is mainly inhabited by those who are religious, especially the Muslim majority. But any religion that is believed would still hold with both ethics and morality.

''Do not add to the wrath of God. This has affected us in a row, and it is a test of faith. Well, when tested on this kind exist, which contribute to humanitarian reasons. While we know where the money came from donations, and in what manner the money was obtained,''said Habib Umar Salim, Chairman of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) DKI Jakarta.

Umar said the donation given by a porn star and obtained a way to sell and show off your body, what's the difference with deeds prostitute who got money by prostituting themselves. Islam''a very decisive. Earned income by prostituting themselves are illegitimate and odious results. It already exists in the rules described in the hadith of Prophet Muhammad SAW, and non-negotiable fresh again.''

Do with it because of emergency reasons that may accept donations from anyone in any way. The reason this is unreasonable and is not acceptable, there are many donations of individuals, institutions or those who care, and also the source of this donation is permitted to dupertanggung accountable in this world and hereafter. ''There are many talents that can produce good and lawful money used for noble purposes accounted for another human being affected. Charity music concert for example, or other means to obtain respectable large sums of money.''

Islam, Umar said, does not justify all means. Aiming good if done the wrong way still guilty and can not be accepted. ''I can not wash my clothes to remove dirt with urine. Analog is already very clear, helping others affected by selling themselves, prostituting themselves. This method is clearly illegitimate and odious. Anyone who receives such donations obviously very sinful. Reject it and announce the donation in a transparent manner.''

According to Omar, how that is done by Pamela really nasty, he thinks that Pamela was just looking for popularity by exploiting the suffering of humanitarian disaster in Indonesia, and very possibly Pamela has been calculated that the contribution given will cause controversy, and it automatically will be very attracted worldwide attention , at least in Indonesia with a population of nearly 300 million people. Now the controversy is people want to know who Pamela, eventually want to know Playboy magazine that includes photos Pamela last.

Thus, the country is still made by Playboy with a market share of unscrupulous marketing strategy was. Recipient donations given Pamela and she is in Indonesia should be aware and ask their conscience, what he deserves to do such a thing. State and this nation has too much should not be tested with various disasters compounded by the wrath of the Supreme Love.

Countries with the largest number of Muslims throughout the world is already highly controversial, some hot movie star free porn star even enter this country even starred in a movie promotion. Even in the era of Soeharto, the president himself who receive porn star Edwige Fenech. Furthermore, derived from Japanese porn star Maria Ozawa or Miyabi, then porn star Terra Patrick from the United States, and many more who entered the open or hidden publicly.

''This is a hypocritical state and nation. Claiming a religion, but the arrival of the sinners welcome on the grounds of human rights and also bring in foreign exchange. When compared with the benefits and material and moral destruction of the nation state and not at all comparable and no meaning. But, they still make the same mistake many times,''said Umar.

Besides the controversy aid money from Pamela Anderson, there is something very interesting and touching, which donated the money that comes from Pelestina refugees residing in the Gaza Strip. That number is not large and not as a given Pamela Anderson, which is equal to USD 4,000, but this is a very significant cash assistance, they are very concerned when their own for at this time of urgent need of aid money in large enough quantities, but because they care and solidarity, then anything can happen.

The government, said Umar, through the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) must be carefully and firmly, from which the donation came from, not because it requires so all donations received, this is only a matter of morality and conscience, not where the disaster which has this weight only Allah will lead to greater anger again, because there is no morality on which the noble work.

Suharto's National Hero, for what?

noreply@blogger.com (Publisher : Danari & Danari) — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 05:50:00 +0000

By: Yoedi Karyono

Anyone who submitted a nomination for a national title pahkawan will certainly cause controversy, agree to disagree, searched and examined to detail what services and his crimes against the state and nation. Even going very normal will cause conflict between fellow citizens and are not impossible will be very strong potential for discord. Why not, especially with the character and mental condition of the Indonesian nation is fragile and "very easily offended."

That is why at the time of former President Suharto of Indonesia proposed as one nominatir national hero for 2010, then the resulting reaction and reveal all about Suharto, even crimes committed during the rule for a period of 32 years is spectacular. Even the facts are disclosed about the crimes of Suharto during exercise power not just facts, but also added and flavored even slander also performed.

Suharto, who is also known as the smiling general who two years ago in August, exactly on 25 dead, after suffering from various illnesses for a long time and treated with the best care and most expensive in the country. This powerful generals finally gave also to call a divine Creator. And of course in very old age, 80 years accompanied by children and grandchildren at the time of death.

Suharto immediately proposed as a National Hero by Golkar (Functional Group) this is very understandable because for 32 years in power Suharto and his Golkar Party and to support and protect each other. And it turns out that the proposal does not go well the various non-governmental organizations (NGOs) directly over the powerful Suharto reveals sin. Government is very orotiter, militaristic, corrupt and violate human rights directly revealed as many as they could.

The most important issue that Suharto is alleged massacres committed against members or sympathizers of the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) and the number of those killed during Suharto's rule was the millions, although the data for this has never been disclosed in detail, but as a highly successful rumors . ''They, the leaders of the PKI is guilty accounts for less than 100 people, and those who should be punished, but the government led by Suharto to do more than that. Millions of people are affected, and this is a crime against humanity,''said Doctor Ardan Aswi Warman, one of the main researcher Research Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI).

Aswi long as it's known as the researchers who tend to defend those who are regarded as a political victim in 1965, the PKI leaders and former political prisoners with an indication as PKI, in many occasions that she was defending the PKI and always position the New Order regime of Soeharto and the guilty party and crimes against humanity that is extraordinary at the expense of the PKI and they are regarded as political supporters of the PKI, either directly or indirectly.
The era has changed, and Suharto was not in power anymore. The supporters of Suharto for the moment does not want to openly declare his support. But among the people below them really miss the era of Soeharto's rule. Why, 12 years after the reforms did not provide tangible improvements in public, especially the lower classes.

Sense of security, no longer start from terrorist bombings or''inter-tribal wars and ethnic and religious wars''that it was not experienced during the Soeharto era. Similarly, an economy that is not getting better, other than that anyone free to talk about anything. Even among the small community that was already suffering from heart to''curse''that the government Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) is more severe and does not produce anything for six years in power and reform only more suffering to the people the lower classes.

Democracy is never ditemuu in the Soeharto era, except camouflage of democracy. But in an era of democracy, corruption was more remarkable in various circles and in various institutions. Now all of that growing desire for a figure like Suharto. No need to democracy and free speech if only cause misery. They are very excited about dropping Seoharto 12 years ago are not able to change the conditions bamgsa and this country better. Even become more severe.

Prediction is done starting from the paranormal, political observers, international analysts and even among the small people concluded with various problems and also coupled with the attitude and the way SBY solve problems within the country, then SBY will only be able to survive until 2011 or later than his administration would lasted until 2012 only. Why, political power and also the community will combine to reduce SBY is easy or very rough manner.

All this makes the longing pattern of the Soeharto government. Anhar Gongong principal investigator Prof. LIPI expressly rejected if Soeharto decided as a national hero this year. Why,''Pak Harto have got the title as the Father of Development and that was diputusan by the highest institutions of this country namely the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) and this title will never be revoked, because it is to what degree plus again as a national hero.''

Suharto's eldest daughter who also served as Minister of Social Affairs at the time of Suharto's last cabinet, Mrs Siti Hardijatu Hastuti or Mbak Tutut react naturally to the suggestion for Soeharto decided as a national hero this year. Suharto's family are very aware that was not possible within this close to Suharto's government decided as a national hero, while anti-Suharto eporia still very strong, although there are some people who really want to go back again the Soeharto era, whoever the president.

One of the Golkar Party, who is also former Vice President Yusuf Kalla even mentioned,''degree of national hero for Pak Harto is not mandatory.''Republic of Indonesia's first president Sukarno was elected president after 24 years of his death, and who signed it was Suharto's decision. And Suharto to death two years ago,''It's too fast. Even in France is recognized as a national hero after his death 200 years,''said Aswi.

Besides Suharto, another name well known and is proposed as a national hero Abdurrachman KH Wahid. Former third president of the Republic of Indonesia, known as the father Prulalisme and died in 2009. But whatever and whoever the name proposed as a National Hero always cause a reaction to the pros and cons. Gus Dur, close calls Abdurrachman Wahid, also known as a controversy, even among the Muslims themselves feel that title inappropriate for Gus Dur. Lack of proper title to''human character divide the nation for the title of honor,''said the head of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) Habib Rizieq Shibab. (www.rainbowdiplomacy.com)

The super sensitive SBY

noreply@blogger.com (Publisher : Danari & Danari) — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 14:06:00 +0000

By: Yoedi Karyono

One year administration of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) for the second period, after officially sworn in as President of the Republic of Indonesia on October 20, 2009, and the period of one year was used as an opportunity by the opposition to shed their disappointment, even those who gathered in the coalition to intimidate Mr Yudhoyono, they will make a huge demonstration to force the pair SBY - Boediono to resign as president and vice president of the Republic of Indonesia, because they are deemed incapable of menghasilan things that makes this nation more prosperous, even more miserable.

Fajroel Rahman, of the opposition who are always loud, intimidating and even threatened to mobilize people in large numbers to force SBY - Boediono down from office. Appointments will bring people to the streets to do a demo will be done. SBY''has failed to perform its functions and Yudhoyono have to know yourself with an elegant way of stating that he was not able to carry out the mandate of the people, and handed back the mandate to the people.''

If not, then do not blame the confrontation will occur between people who are dissatisfied with this government with its people, the people in various regions will be doing a demo with a massive and very large quantities. ''We're in the year before the reform and the fall of the Soeharto regime 12 years ago doing the same thing and have the goods tenti by improving the quality of movement, and this time we were able to overthrow the regime of Suharto, who ruled for 30 years,''said Fajroel.

Fajroel, who once ran for president against SBY candidate, and apparently on the direct election of the president Fajroel not qualify for degree candidacy, and he is an eternal opposition since becoming a student at the Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) Fajroel even been arrested and imprisoned on the Island Nusakambangan by the Soeharto regime. Fajroel who is also a Muslim, but strongly supports the existence of even highly defended the Ahmadiyya Ahmadiyya, and this will be another major problem for Fajroel and Muslim.

The spirit of opposition was almost like a hallucination able to drop the SBY government by mobilizing the people in large numbers to do a demo on the streets. Eporia dropped when Soeharto was still imbedded in the brains of those who declare themselves as the opposition and they did not as a member of a political party in this country. Even when it does not smell at all and epiloog proolog as in way of ahead of the fall of Suharto. And most importantly there is no military element of both active and hide in the power of the state as the opposition.

The figures are expressed as the opposition outside the party, among others, former minister of economy in the era of Gus Dur, Rizal Ramli, a former spokesman Gus Dur Massardi Adi, a former head of the national development planning Kwik Kian Gie, general chairman of Muhammadiyah Dien Syamsudin and many more figures who still feel able to run the government, but they are currently located outside the government even beyond political parties.

While currently only one political party that openly and formally declared itself as an opposition party, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI P), although PDI P often half-hearted in attitude as an opposition party running the government, this is because the main character PDI P, Taufiq Kiemas who currently serves as Chairman of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) and the relationship between Taufiq with SBY tighter and tighter. Other party outside the government is Gerindra Party and Party Hanura.

In total political, SBY forces inside and outside parliament has been very strong, much less supported by Golkar Party (Golkar). But SBY still does not feel safe on the continuity of government, SBY uneasiness was shown at the time as chairman of the board of supervisors Democratic political speeches on the anniversary of the party to nine on 17 October. SBY asks for support to all political forces and people for his administration and implementation of all policies.

Subsequently, on October 18, Yudhoyono held a meeting with Assembly Speaker, Speaker of the House, Chairman of the Constitutional Court, Chairman of the Regional Representatives Council, Chairman of the Supreme Court, the Head of Audit (BPK) and Chairman of the Judicial Commission. The meeting, conducted in the House of Representatives that began at nine in the morning until two o'clock. And of course, meeting that takes a long time has led to speculation. Why, in a meeting also attended by ministers and in its development, there are rumors that SBY will perform the turn of his ministers who are considered incompetent do their job.

Therefore, further development of rumors, PDI P SBY will be included in the cabinet to strengthen the political position of SBY. This is directly contradicted by one of his chief PDI P, Tjahyo Kumolo,''Nothing that any political deal with SBY both institutional and individual as the president who holds the prerogative to choose and memcat minister. Decision PDI P as an opposition party does not change until now, and that was the decision of the Congress. Let Mr. Taufiq relate well with Pak SBY, but the affairs of the party was completely different.''

Ahmad Mubarok, one of the board of supervisors said the Democratic Party, threats, intimidation will drop SBY, please just fine, but if they are doing a demo with a very large number then itchy hands and doing acts of violence, damaging public facilities, it was his business other. ''But I am very confident and strongly believe SBY - Boediono will not abdicate because of large scale demonstrations. They will come down from government in 2014. Why, because his tenure had been completed.''

They are now yelling and screaming as opposition to feel free from all kinds of corruption had also sat in the government, what they really pure and clean. Right now to be honest, SBY is still a lot to face many problems, legal issues, corruption, economic and justice, but is not the government is carrying out its function to fix all that. Indeed''Yudhoyono as president has 6 years of rule, but that this subsequently has been running for one year. Well really not fair to decide this government succeed or fail in just one year. Please be assessed after five years running, and that there are rules. If the demo on the streets will not solve the problem even will only add to the problem alone, and the most immediate impact is traffic congestion.''

Demo to protest the government of SBY does not work, even a rejection of the presence of SBY does occur among others in the Napier and several cities in Indonesia. But compared with the number and network anybody who did the demo, by the eve of Suharto's current kejatuhahan that power did not exist. However, the military was prepared to support the police in order to do security on all the worst that will happen.

Application of a''standby in Jakarta and surrounding areas? It was not necessary, because those who intend to perform a demo either officially or unofficially been very clear. Jakarta and its surroundings will remain safe,''said Joey Boy Amar, head of the Jakarta police office lighting. (www.rainbowdiplomacy.com/caricature:Dendy Hendrias)

Playboy, illicit products are still sought?

noreply@blogger.com (Publisher : Danari & Danari) — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 13:11:00 +0000

By: Yoedi Karyono

Playboy, adult magazine with the criteria and size of the Americas, Europe and the countries that freed printed materials or other goods sold maid satisfy lust circulated and to state that the majority of Indonesian population are Muslims, this type of mold material has been formally rejected. Those responsible have been sentenced to prison, print goods banned. But still there are trying to find the sidelines, for Playboy magazine can be printed and circulated again the Earth Indonesia. Not carelessly who advocate for this obscene magazines can be printed back to the Indonesian Press Council. They protect journalists and press products.

''I do not understand what is in the brains of the leaders and thinkers in the Press Council. It is clear that Playboy magazine was obscene magazines, it's indulgence in female genitalia and other matters pertaining to lust male or female, and generally inappropriate consumed even defensible to be published, reprinted and circulated in this country. Even the press council would review this case in a higher court level,''said Chairman of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) Habib Rizieq Shihab.

Any religion, says Habib, is strictly prohibited acts and immoral behavior, lewd, and this is even worse behavior made obscene printed material and then displayed in a public place that anyone can view without any age limit, and it is regarded as art materials and creative freedom , I think that this kind are mempemudah problems and just fool people sane. Whose name is immoral''obscene, pornographic, nude still inappropriate, if they think proper, then the health of his soul must be examined.''

Meanwhile, the priest Mudji Sutrisno who is also a humanist says, wherever Playboy magazine still sparked controversy, let alone published printed and circulated in Indonesia with Indonesian edition, bound to face problems, because it should be anyone involved with this type magazine should re-think with wise and intelligent, what need to print, publish and consume this type of magazine. ''Find yourself a job that is more feasible and appropriate, there are many.''

Playboy magazine based in the United States owned by a millionaire Hugh Hefner and the rich exploit the body's smooth because women are extreme in their country even a public figure or figures can be stripped by Hefner, and look with pride at her magazine photographed totaly naked. One of Hefner's work, among others, American oil executives, Enron has appeared in Playboy magazine as well as video products, and of course very expensive for a small fee.

In Indonesia, Playboy magazine is led by Erwin Ananda which has now been jailed for two years, after the case filed FPI. But the execution was delayed for almost three months. Erwin always dodged to carry out the punishment, the prosecutor and the police seemed unable to make arrests Erwin, another case with the arrest of Ustad Abu Bakar Ba'asyir, or those suspected of being terrorists, they arrested earlier, rear affairs.

The same thing happened to 12 people who alleged perpetrators thruster two Huria Batak Protestant Christian Church (HKBP). They were arrested on the 14th of Septemper 2010, and after 25 days, then who the actual perpetrator was later arrested by police thruster, but 12 people remained in police custody. Unfair treatment''of the application of this penalty will only further create antipathy and disgust to the law enforcement and especially the government.''

Printing, publishing and then distribute pornographic and obscene printed material such Plyaboy Magazine is what is not a terrorist act? They have added contributed to damage the morale of this nation's children. Without any obscene printed material was so severe moral of this nation, especially coupled with the publication of Playboy magazine, what more can be expected.

If they survive and continue to defend the publication of Playboy magazine on the grounds of freedom of expression, they may prefer the freedom erecksi. Try to think clearly, what decent human being nude pictures and videos on sale in such a way, sold cheaply on sale even cheaper. ''If during the FPI to be harder than other religious groups, it does not matter. Those who are in other religions who still hold fast to the rules of morality must be supported for Playboy magazine and similar printed matter was never again exist in Indonesia, they are still shy shy to do the support but still be supportive.''

With the arrest of editorial director Indonesian version of Playboy magazine with a two-year sentence, and certainly will get a reduced sentence, the question of obscene and pornographic materials to be completed in Muslim-majority country is this? Of course not, which is free internet access during the month of Ramadan and it tried to block access, it has failed and pornographic material and lewd still very accessible.

Indonesian edition of Playboy magazine it was still not finished her history, defense of the Indonesian Press Council was provided an opportunity to win in court, the issue is no longer a matter of morality and religion, but had entered the business and about the advantages and disadvantages in the economic field. Class millionaire Hugh Hefner is definitely very into account market in Indonesia, the majority Muslims are not regarded as an obstacle. Why, some of which turned out to be silent majority is silent still remain loyal to access porn sites and also the site of Playboy with a variety of ways. And for this purpose will Hefner do not spend the money regardless of affection.

Besides planting the image that all kinds of products from western countries is a modern and highly advanced product, and that includes products lewd and pornographic magazines like Playboy magazine. An indigenous Indonesian public figures who have 'honor' appearing half naked in Playboy the Indonesian version, Andara Early states are very proud to appear on the first edition,''It's a magazine with high artistry, and there is no problem,''said Andara, who also a Muslim, and Islam the number of people who sort of Andara is still very much in Indonesia.

Shown or frankly illegal, pornographic and obscene products will remain high demand in the country claiming to be a country with Islamic majority. ''I am also very dizzy face of such hypocrites. Islamic duty only to deliver the right things, the issue they want to follow or not is not my business anymore. But as long as I still have the energy to fight, then I will do the resistance was in any way,''said Habib Rizieq,

If FPI in action accused of damaging the building, property and their property, this is still not how, when compared with those crimes that damage the morale of the nation. Sentence of two years, it's still very light even too light for the destruction of this nation's morals. ''And if we talk moraliyas often considered strange, and indeed there is something wrong with the morals of this nation. May God still forgive.''(www.rainbowdiplomacy.com/photo:www.dunia-kita.com)

SBY cancel the Netherlands, Scared?

noreply@blogger.com (Publisher : Danari & Danari) — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 13:12:00 +0000

By: Yoedi Karyono

President of the Republic of Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) to cancel a state visit to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, who was disappointed? With angry look on his face holding SBY said that this time the presidential entourage canceled a visit to the Netherlands. And the plane that will carry into the windmill country was ready to fly. Presidential entourage was already inside the SBY plane and was on the Prime Kusuma Halim Airport. At the last minute cancellation was made and delivered directly by the SBY.

SBY fear of being arrested a Dutch court on charges filed by a group of people on behalf of the South Maluku Republic (RMS) for alleged human rights abuses in Maluku and Papua. According to observers of international affairs from the University of Indonesia Prof. Hikmahanto Juwana, the president should not have to do that step. SBY''What makes the name of the RMS is only getting bigger only. In fact they are nothing, just a small group of people and if ignored, then they will be more big.''

Terrorism, said Hikmahanto, may be in other forms such as scare tactics and heads of state will be prosecuted and brought to court with a variety of charges, and among other alleged violations of human rights, and unfortunately SBY RMS consumed by this maneuver. Whereas the RMS in the Netherlands rather than anything else, the Government of the Netherlands since 10 years ago are no longer consider their activities, even funding their struggle to have stopped. Why, the existence of the RMS is considered not beneficial to the Dutch government even contra productive mainly deals with the Dutch-Indonesian relations.

Currently, there are about 45,000 Dutch citizens Moluccan descent, and they are the third generation since 1950, when grandma and grandpa they prefer to go Dutch to his country rather than join with the Indonesian government. They also demanded where the actual tomb or the body of Dr Soumokil, Maluku people who declared himself as President of the RMS and have dieksusi died in the era of President Sukarno in the 50s, because the business-backed insurgency and separatism Dutch government at that time.

They, their children and grandchildren a more RMS opt in "master" to Holland long as it's always making trouble, and their phenomenal action occurred in 1966, RMS staff hostage 18 Indonesian Embassy do occupation Wisma Duta On August 13 1970, hostage RI consulate general in Amsterdam for 10 days in 1975.

Train passengers hostage in Wijster near Bellen July 1975, 57 passengers hostage and killed two of them, action was repeated in May 1977, with 51 passenger train plowed from Assen to Groningen in northern Holland and at the same time that 110 people hostage RMS some school children in Bovensmilde. In 1990 security improves and there is communication between the Embassy and the RMS.

Apparently RMS heard that the Dutch Queen Beatrix and Dutch Prime Minister invited President Yudhoyono to the Netherlands on 6 to 9 October, and RMS tututan filed to the court for the President of RI was arrested on charges of human rights violations against people in Maluku and Maluku, the next President SBY react with cancel the visit, the existence of the RMS rose again even in the international world.

SBY''it should not make the cancellation. Whatever is presented SBY then impressed he feared the presence of RMS. Though an official State, diplomats, even for a president has the right of immunity, can not just be arrested simply for the proposal or demand a few people or institutions,''said Hikmahanto.

In addition, the Dutch government also provides guarantees for the safety of President Yudhoyono and entourage, whatever is said and conveyed SBY, then there is the impression that he was afraid of what the RMS. It is very unfortunate and will only further increase the prestige of the RMS.

''On the other hand, are very proud SBY act decisively, to delay state visit, which in fact cancel a state visit, but why in the event of a problem with Malaysia SBY did not do the same thing, being assertive, this will only further fueling speculation in country alone. Normal course there are very proud of the attitude SBY but many also deplored the steps taken by SBY,''said Hikmahanto.

In fact, developments in the Netherlands, the court has rejected the demands of the RMS, and other unfavorable developments in the Netherlands cancellation of SBY's visit at the invitation of Queen of the Netherlands is considered as an insult, the Dutch press, among others, a very influential newspaper Telegraaf reported on a large Daily news. Dutch citizens feel very disappointed with SBY and this decision will further complicate the relationship the two countries in the future.

States of the former occupiers Indonesia for 350 years just recognized the independence of Indonesia in 2005. Though Indonesia had proclaimed its independence on August 17, 1945. In the Soeharto era, there is also a state visit and return visit this time Dutch Queen Juliana for 10 days in Indonesia. Even The Queen tried Javanese herbal medicine for slimming body.

Tidal ties do occur even in a very firm attitude, and tend to be hard once Suharto namely disperse Inter Govermental Group on Indonesia (IGGI) on March 25, 1992, for being too involved in domestic affairs of Indonesia, and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands during Jans Pieter Pronk was considered to be very arrogant and is valid as occupiers who perform inspections colonies.

March 31, 2008, the Indonesian government banned the film Fitna made by Dutch MP who is anti-Islam lawmaker Geert Wilders, and at the time of cancellation SBY visit state to the Netherlands in the State is also taking place court preparation Wilder with the demands of spreading hatred against Islam and Muslims. But now the issue in the Netherlands has shifted with the news of cancellation of the President of Indonesia visited the Netherlands.

SBY's agenda during the meeting with the Queen of the Netherlands is the Netherlands and then continued the meeting with Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Indonesia signing a comprehensive agreement - the Netherlands, a large meeting with Dutch businessmen, meeting with Indonesian students at the University of Wageningen.

Impaired for visiting heads of state to the outside, said SBY, is very common, demonstrations, rallies and even criticism, but to the demands to the court to arrest the president, has been associated with the dignity of the state and nation.

Head of State of Indonesia is often targeted when they are abroad, even at the time of President Suharto accepted the invitation of the United Nations in Copenhagen for international events related to the climate in the 90's bulletin distributed with good quality prints that there are three criminal in Copenhagen, they is Suharto of Indonesia, Jerry Rawling from Africa and Fidel Castro of Cuba.

At the time of Suharto's visit to Dresden Germany once the demonstration is very rough and the issues that brought the protesters is a matter of East Timor and human rights. When Suharto became Chairman of the Non-Aligned Movement and have made visits to Bosnia and Herzegovina, the country is at war, whereas the day before the plane carrying United Nations special envoy, Yazuzi Akasi shot. Suharto reminded the United Nations for not continuing the trip to Bosnia, but Suharto still doing it, and the mission successfully and returned safely.

A President. A Head of Government, a head of state, said deputy chairman of the House of Representatives Commission I PDIP Tubagus Hasanuddin, should have the guts that exceeds ordinary people, if not nothing would have been terrified arrested, we can not accept,''the Dutch government is also not will do something stupid, when it comes to presidents of other countries caught in his country, then there is an international incident. And this will not be profitable for anyone. I am sure 100 percent, it will never happen arrest our president.''

Furthermore, said Hasanuddin, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador of Indonesia to the Kingdom of the Netherlands and intelligence agencies will be invited to Parliament to be asked, who would provide information to the president so the president of the reacted so spontaneously about RMS, and to postpone, cancel whatever its name to Holland.

According Hikmahanto, information from abroad that come from representatives of Indonesia is very dangerous, if it is inaccurate, and will only further embarrass the country and this nation alone. (www.rainbowdiplomacy.com)

Established Church for What?

noreply@blogger.com (Publisher : Danari & Danari) — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 01:27:00 +0000

By: Dr. Adian Husaini

Case sealing house belonging to the church Huria Kristen Batak Protestant (HKBP) in Ciketing Bekasi, West Java, last long tails. Church HKBP not accept the government's decision and perform a variety of demonstrative action, which eventually led to the incidents of clashes with Muslim congregation HKBP Bekasi. Some people then picked up and exaggerating the case to the international world, thus giving a negative image of Indonesia.

Bad image that seems to be established is that as though the world's largest Muslim country is one that no civilized nation that does not respect religious freedom, as it were, the Christians in Indonesia is really the oppressed. A number of Christian activists in Indonesia is diligent to use the momentum of cases of conflict about the founding of the church, became a valuable commodity to form a negative image of the Indonesian people, especially Muslims.

In the end, came the pressure from various countries or groups outside the country, Indonesia provides space for greater religious freedom for Christian minorities. On February 12, 2010, Jakarta Christian Communication Forum (FKKJ) released data, which according to them, in the year 2007 there are 100 churches are harassed or forced to close. In 2008, there were 40 different churches who get trouble. In 2009 until January 2010, there were 19 pieces of disturbed or burned churches in Bekasi, Depok, Parung, Purwakarta, Cianjur, Tangerang, Jakarta, Waterford and District Sibuhuan Padang Lawas (North Sumatra).

According to these FFKJ data, during the reign of President Sukarno (1945 - 1966) there were only 2 pieces of the burned church. In the era of President Suharto (1966 - 1998) there are 456 churches destroyed or burned. In the period 1965-1974, FKKJ said, "only" 46 churches destroyed or burned. Meanwhile, from 1975 or the period after the enactment of the Joint Decree (SKB), two in 1969 to the present Minister of the resignation of Suharto in 1998, church figures that were damaged or burned as many as 410 pieces.

So, according to records FKKJ until early 2010, there has been almost about 1200 pieces of the church was damaged and closed. "So we find the church vandalism figures for post-Suharto reform period as many as 740 pieces," writes FKKJ press release signed by Theophilus Bela and Gustav Dupe.

Perhaps many who astonished at the size of the destruction of churches in Indonesia figures. Very fantastic. Unfortunately, the FKKJ did not present a comprehensive analysis of the data. Is it true that the church was vandalized? Why does it happen? Muslims can only create the data, how many thousands of mosques and small mosques are destroyed and evicted by developers Christian! Also, there should be analysis, why are so many churches were destroyed, but the growth of churches in Indonesia are also very fantastic?

A comprehensive analysis is necessary if we want to solve the problem fundamentally, not just use cases for a particular purpose. Moreover, in a press release FKKJ was also mentioned, as if the culprit of all is the existence of two ministerial decree of 1969 which regulates the establishment of houses of worship. Christian Party. In particular evangelical group, did not want to open, that the actual establishment of the Church is not just a mere matter of places of worship, but related to their mission to Christianize Indonesia. Openness and dialogue are very important, because the position and function for the Christian Church is different from the position and function of the mosque for Muslims.

The Muslims built a mosque as exemplified by Prophet Muhammad SAW. The rules about mosque very clear in scripture of Muslims and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad PBUH. For Muslims, the mosque used pray five times a day. Muslims praying at the mosque can also be anywhere, as long as a cult rather than a mosque. While the Christians could not worship at the Church of whatever sect, because different ritual procedures. Such differences should be understood, in order to look for a comprehensive solution.
Mission Church

What exactly is the mission and purpose of a church founded?
In 1964, the Batak Christian leaders, Dr. Walter Bonar Sidjabat, published a book entitled Call It We in Indonesia Adults (London: Board of Christian Publishers, 1964). Through this book, Dr. Sidjabat true mission confirmed the presence of Christians and their churches throughout Indonesia.In the preface of his book, he writes:

"We are called to pledge our faith in populated areas curly-haired, undulating and straight, in the midst of brown-skinned people, dark brown, olive and so on. In order to harvest this call our churches scattered throughout the archipelago for the people who "Unity in Diversity", which consists of adherents of various religions and ideologies can know and follow Jesus Christ. "

Following the Batak Christian leaders thought this could be understood that the presence of a church for the Christian is not just a question of "freedom of worship" or "religious freedom". Many Muslims and Christians themselves may also not understand the existence of a church. Whereas, according to the Christians, the establishment of a church is not just the establishment of a place of worship, but also part of a work of Christian mission; for the surrounding community "to know and follow Jesus Christ."

It says in the book: "On the Church lies the task of evangelism. Evangelism is dynamic. Dynamically Church will be responsible evangelism inside, to people who have become members of the body of Christ ("ecclesia") and exit, to the people who are waiting, ignore, reject or do not care about Jesus as their Savior . '(p. 41).

Meanwhile, for the Muslims who are aware will become Muslim, the question of Christian mission, not a trivial problem. People who change religion, out of the religion of Islam, in the view of Islam is called the apostate and infidel. Charitable deeds they are not accepted by God. (Surah 2:217, 24:39). Al-Quran also confirms, that Allah is very angry when told she had children. (Sura 19:88-91). And those who claim that God is one of three persons, that person is called an infidel (Sura 5:72-75).

In carrying out their mission in the Islamic world, true Christians will be aware of challenges that come from Muslims. For, indeed, Islam is the only religion of his Bible (the Koran) gives a fundamental correction to the basics of Christian theology. (QS verse 4:157, done). That's why, in his book, Dr. Sidjabat in particular, outlines the historical development of Islam in Indonesia, which judged a serious challenge to the development of Christian missions in Indonesia. Sidjabat called The Christians in Indonesia are not retroactive step in carrying out their mission.
In fact, if you need to do confrontation. So, check out important messages to the Indonesian Christian Sidjabat following:

"Gentlemen, the facts of which I have been describing this has shown the existence of a very great challenge to the Christian community. It is certain that I can formulate the sheet is only a fraction of the reality of Islam in Indonesia. In this connection I want to show the Christian community that today numbers waiting for the gospel of Jesus Christ far more than the number encountered by the Apostles in the first century AD tarich. And should be posited that the amount was not just "number" number only, but the humans who live, who want to know its value and a thirst for knowledge about the direction his life, where Indonesian Muslims are also classified.

In Indonesia, the things that I mentioned it can be clearly seen and comprehended. According to the human considerations, the population of Indonesia still continues longer be a resident of the mostly Muslim, although many have turned to religion or other streams, such as: Buddhism, Communism, which flows out of Islamic mysticism, atheism, etc. . Message of the gospel in Indonesia, if so, will continue to face the "challenge" of Islam in the country this cluster ...

Altogether this indicates that the meeting of the Gospel with Muslims in the field involves a wider already "begun". I say "beginning", not to forget about evangelism to Muslims since the seventh century, but because if we look carefully, the "confrontation" Gospel and the religions in this world in the field involves broad, and in terms of this with Islam, then "started" in depth today. And for those who believe on the authority of God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Roch, each confrontation like this will always be looked at as an invitation to participate in mobilizing body and soul meet the task to the glory of God. "
*****
Reading thought the Batak Christian figures like this, Indonesian Muslims would understand, that from the beginning of the mission is executed, the Church has been preparing himself for a confrontation, especially with Muslims. Indeed, that confrontation should be done by mobilizing body and soul for the glory of God.
In the context of this kind, perhaps we can understand, why the Christians always reject any regulations governing the procedures for the establishment of houses of worship and the spread of religion, although that regulation also ensnare Muslims in Muslim minority areas.

In this context we also understand the militancy of the attitude of the church HKBP Ciketing Bekasi. Also, we understand, why the Christians Indonesia - from various sects and religions - such as united in addressing the case HKBP Ciketing and tried to drag the case to the issue of "religious freedom" and "pluralism". Although churches continue to grow like mushrooms in the rainy season, always imaged, the Christians are a people oppressed and have no religious freedom in this largest Muslim country.

Indeed, the difficult we understand are people who claim Islam but religion - consciously or not - has put itself into a "spokesman" Batak Christian Church, in exchange for honorary title "People of Pluralist" and the like.

In fact, the ambition to Christianize Indonesia Christian circles has never ended, the ambitions of a group of evangelical Christians who set a target of 2020 as the "harvest." A book titled Transforming Indonesia: Thought and Process Changes Related to the Unity of the Body of Christ (New York: Metanoia, 2003), describes the ambitions and hopes of the Christian missionaries in Indonesia. Confirmed in the book:

"Indonesia is a field that is yellowing, the big harvest! Yes, Indonesia is ready to experience a great transformation. This is not an empty desire, but a statement of faith by the promise of God's word. It's also not a dream in broad daylight, but an expression of belief in God's love and power. By examining the word of God, we will come to the conclusion that Indonesia has a precondition that is suitable for a large harvest which he had planned. "

This is the determination of the Christian missionaries to Christianize Indonesia.
All their efforts to mobilize resources. The churches continue to be built everywhere to smooth out their mission. The churches and movements continue to move to achieve mission goals, which affirmed on the back cover of this book: "that all churches in Indonesia to be united so that Indonesia can undergo transformation and won for Christ."

Faced with the invasion of missionaries, Muslims should not need to be discouraged. It is time for Muslims to wait and not be defensive. Perhaps it was his time, Islamic organizations dai-dai scored a tough, smart, brave, polite, and friendly, to bring the Christian pastor and his characters, that they're holding the wrong belief (misguided / ADH-dhalliin). Invite them to worship Allah alone, do not acknowledge God with others, and acknowledges the prophetic Muhammad SAW. Do states have a child of God.

If they refuse, say, we are Muslims, we respect their beliefs, even if we can not justify it. Therefore, the task of people of Muhammad peace be upon him only to convey the truth, not force. In the next, will prove to be, who is right and who is wrong. As Muslims, we believe, that we are right! (www.rainbowdiplomacy.com)

Ahmadinejad’s full speech at UN General Assembly 9/23/10

noreply@blogger.com (Publisher : Danari & Danari) — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 00:08:00 +0000

Mr. President,
Excellencies,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am grateful to the Almighty God who granted me the opportunity to appear before this world assembly once again. I wish to begin by commemorating those who lost their lives in the horrible flood in Pakistan and express my heartfelt sympathy with the families who lost their loved ones as well as with the people and the government of Pakistan. I urge everyone to assist their fellow men and women as a humane duty.

Let me thank H.E. Mr. Ali Abdussalam Treki, the President of the sixty-fourth session of the United Nations General Assembly, for all his efforts during his tenure. I also would like to congratulate H.E. Mr. Joseph Deiss, the President of the sixty-fifth session of the United Nations General Assembly and wish him all success. In the past years, I spoke to you about some of the hopes and concerns, including family crises, security, human dignity, world economy, climate change as well as the aspiration for justice and lasting peace.

After about one hundred years of domination, the system of capitalism and the existing world order has proved to be unable to provide appropriate solutions to the problems of societies and thus is coming to an end. I shall try to examine the two main causes of this failure and picture some features of the ideal future order.

a) Attitudes and Beliefs

As you are well aware, the divine prophets had the mission to call everyone to monotheism, love, and justice and show mankind the path to prosperity. They invite men to contemplation and knowledge in order to better appreciate the truth and to avoid atheism and egoism. The very nature of the message of all prophets is one and the same. Every messenger endorsed the messenger before him and gave glad tidings about the prophet to come, and presented a more complete version of the religion in accordance with the capacity of the man at the time. This continued up to the last messenger of God who presented the perfect and all-inclusive religion. In opposition to that, the egotist and the greedy stood up against this clear call, revolting against the message. Nimrod countered Hazrat Abraham, Pharaoh countered Hazrat Moses and the greedy countered Hazrat Jesus Christ and Hazrat Mohammad (Peace be upon them all). In the recent centuries, the human ethics and values have been rejected as a cause for backwardness. They were even portrayed as opposing wisdom and science because of the earlier infliction on man by the proclaimers of religion in the dark ages of the West. Man’s disconnection from Heaven detached him from his true self.

Man with his potential for understanding the secrets of the universe, his instinct for seeking truth, his aspirations for justice and perfection, his quest for beauty and purity and his capacity to represent God on earth was reduced to a creature limited to the materialistic world with a mission to maximize individualistic pleasures. Human instinct, then, replaced true human nature. Human beings and nations were considered rivals and the happiness of an individual or a nation was defined in collision with, and elimination or suppression of others. Constructive evolutionary cooperation was replaced with a destructive struggle for survival. The lust for capital and domination replaced monotheism which is the gate to love and unity.

This widespread clash of the egoist with the divine values gave way to slavery and colonialism. A large portion of the world came under the domination of a few western States. Tens of millions of people were taken to slavery and tens of millions of families were shattered as a result. All the resources, the rights and the cultures of the colonized nations were plundered. Lands were occupied and the indigenous people were humiliated and mass-murdered.

Yet, nations rose up, colonialism was alienated and the independence of the nations was recognized. Thus, the hope for respect, prosperity and security was revived amongst nations. In the beginning of the past century nice talks about freedom, human rights and democracy created hopes for healing the deep wounds of the past. Today, however, not only are those dreams not realized, but memories, even at times worse than before, have been recorded.

As a result of the two World Wars, the occupation of Palestine, the Korean and the Vietnam Wars, the Iraqi war against Iran, the occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq as well as many wars in Africa, hundreds of millions of people were killed, wounded or displaced. Terrorism, illicit drugs, poverty and the social gaps increased. The dictatorial and coup d’etat governments in Latin America committed unprecedented crimes with the support of the West.

Instead of disarmament, the proliferation and stockpiling of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons expanded, putting the world under a bigger threat. As a result, the very same old goals of colonialists and the slave masters were, this time round, pursued with a new facade.

b) The Global Management and Ruling Structures

The League of Nations and, then, the United Nations were established with the promise to bring about peace, security and the realization of human rights, which in fact meant a global management.

One can analyze the current governance of the world by examining three events:

First, the event of the 11th September 2001 which has affected the whole world for almost a decade. All of a sudden, the news of the attack on the twin towers was broadcast using numerous footages of the incident. Almost all governments and known figures strongly condemned this incident. But then a propaganda machine came into full force; it was implied that the whole world was exposed to a huge danger, namely terrorism, and that the only way to save the world would be to deploy forces into Afghanistan. Eventually Afghanistan, and, shortly thereafter, Iraq were occupied.

Please take note: it was said that some three thousands people were killed on September 11th, for which we are all very saddened. Yet, up until now, in Afghanistan and Iraq hundreds of thousands of people have been killed, millions wounded and displaced and the conflict is still going on and expanding.

In identifying those responsible for the attack, there were three viewpoints.

1- That a very powerful and complex terrorist group, able to successfully cross all layers of the American intelligence and security, carried out the attack. This is the main viewpoint advocated by American statesmen.

2- That some segments within the U.S. government orchestrated the attack to reverse the declining American economy and its grips on the Middle East in order also to save the Zionist regime. The majority of the American people as well as other nations and politicians agree with this view.

3- It was carried out by a terrorist group but the American government supported and took advantage of the situation. Apparently, this viewpoint has fewer proponents. The main evidence linking the incident was a few passports found in the huge volume of rubble and a video of an individual whose place of domicile was unknown but it was announced that he had been involved in oil deals with some American officials. It was also covered up and said that due to the explosion and fire no trace of the suicide attackers was found.

There remain, however, a few questions to be answered:

1- Would it not have been sensible that first a thorough investigation should have been conducted by independent groups to conclusively identify the elements involved in the attack and then map out a rational plan to take measures against them?

2- Assuming the viewpoint of the American government, is it rational to launch a classic war through widespread deployment of troops that led to the death of hundreds of thousands of people to counter a terrorist group?

3- Was it not possible to act the way Iran countered the Riggi terrorist group who killed and wounded 400 innocent people in Iran. In the Iranian operation no innocent person was hurt.

It is proposed that the United Nations set up an independent fact-finding group for the event of September 11th so that in the future, expressing views about it is not forbidden.

I wish to announce here that next year the Islamic Republic of Iran will host a conference to study terrorism and the means to confront it. I invite officials, scholars, thinkers, researchers and research institutes of all countries to attend this conference.

Second is the occupation of the Palestinian territories. The oppressed people of Palestine have lived under the rule of an occupying regime for 60 years, been deprived of freedom, security and the right to self-determination, while the occupiers are given recognition. On a daily basis, the houses are being destroyed over the heads of innocent women and children. People are deprived of water, food and medicine in their own homeland. The Zionists have imposed five all-out wars on the neighboring countries and on the Palestinian people. The Zionists committed the most horrible crimes against the defenseless people in the wars against Lebanon and Gaza. The Zionist regime attacked a humanitarian flotilla in a blatant defiance of all international norms and kills the civilians.

This regime which enjoys the absolute support of some western countries regularly threatens the countries in the region and continues publicly announced assassinations of Palestinian figures and others, while Palestinian defenders and those opposing this regime are pressured, labeled as terrorists and anti-semites. All values, even the freedom of expression, in Europe and in the United States are being sacrificed at the altar of Zionism.

Solutions are doomed to fail because the right of the Palestinian people is not taken into account. Would we have witnessed such horrendous crimes if instead of recognizing the occupation, the sovereign right of the Palestinian people had been recognized? Our unambiguous proposition is the return of the Palestinian refugees to their homeland and the reference to the vote of the people of Palestine to exercise their sovereignty and decide on the type of governance.

Third is the nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is clean and cheap and a heavenly gift which is amongst the most suitable alternatives to cut the pollution emanating from fossil fuels. The Non- Proliferation Treaty (NPT) allows all member States to use nuclear energy without limits and the International Atomic Energy Agency is mandated to provide member States with technical and legal support.

The nuclear bomb is the worst inhumane weapon and which must totally be eliminated. The NPT prohibits its development and stockpiling and calls for nuclear disarmament.

Nonetheless, note what some of the permanent members of the Security Council and nuclear bomb holders have done: they have equated nuclear energy with the nuclear bomb, and have distanced this energy from the reach of most of nations by establishing monopolies and pressuring the IAEA. While at the same time, they have continued to maintain, expand and upgrade their own nuclear arsenals.

This has entailed the following: not only the nuclear disarmament has not been realized but also nuclear bombs have been proliferated in some regions, including by the occupying and intimidating Zionist regime.

I would like here to propose that the year 2011 be proclaimed the year of nuclear disarmament and “Nuclear Energy for all, Nuclear Weapons for None”.

In all these cases the United Nations has been unable to take any effective course of action. Unfortunately, in the decade proclaimed as the “International Decade for the Culture of Peace” hundreds of thousands were killed and injured as a result of war, aggression and occupation, and hostilities and antagonism increased.

Ladies and Gentlemen, very recently the world witnessed the ugly and inhumane act of burning the Holy Quran. The Holy Quran is the Divine Book and the eternal miracle of the Prophet of lslam. It calls for worshipping the One God, justice, compassion toward people, development and progress, reflection and thinking, defending the oppressed and resisting against the oppressors; and it names with respect the previous Messengers of God, like Noah, Abraham, Isaaq, Joseph, Moses and Jesus Christ (Peace be Upon them all) and endorses them. They burned Quran to bum all these truths and good judgments. However, the truth could not be burned. Quran is eternal because God and truth are everlasting. This act and any other act which widens the gap and distances between nations is evil. We should wisely avoid playing into the hands of Satan. On behalf of the Iranian nation I pay respect to all Divine Books and their followers. This is the Quran and this is the Bible. I pay respect to both of them.

Esteemed Friends, for years the inefficiency of capitalism and the existing world management and structures has been exposed and the majority of States and nations have been on a quest for fundamental changes and for the prevalence of justice in global relations. The cause of the United Nation’s ineptitude is in its unjust structure. Major power is monopolized in the Security Council due to the veto privilege, and the main pillar of the organization, namely the General Assembly, is marginalized. In the past several decades, at least one of the permanent members of the Security Council has always been a party to the disputes. The veto advantage grants impunity to aggression and occupation; how could, therefore, one expect competence while both the judge and the prosecutor are a party to the dispute? Had Iran enjoyed veto privilege, would the Security Council and the IAEA Director General have taken the same position in the nuclear issue?

Dear Friends, the United Nations is the key center for coordinating the common global management. Its structure needs to be reformed in a manner so that all independent States and nations will be able to participate in the global governance actively and constructively.

The veto privilege should be revoked and the General Assembly should be the highest body and the Secretary-General should be the most independent official and all his positions and activities should be taken with the approval of the General Assembly and should be directed towards promoting justice and eliminating discrimination.

The Secretary-General should not come under pressure from powers and/or the country hosting the organization for his stating the truth and administration of justice. It is suggested that the General Assembly should, within one year and in the framework of an extraordinary session, finalize the reformation of the Organization’s structure.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has clear suggestions in this regard and stands ready to participate actively and constructively in the process.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I announce clearly that the occupation of other countries under the pretext of freedom and democracy is an unforgivable crime.

The world needs the logic of compassion and justice and inclusive participation instead of the logic of force, domination, unilateralism, war and intimidation. The world needs to be governed by virtuous people like the Divine Prophets. The two vast geographical spheres, namely Africa and Latin America, have gone through historic developments during the past decades. The new approaches in these two continents, which are based on increasing levels of integration and unity as well as on localizing growth and development models, have borne considerable fruits to the peoples of those regions. The awareness and wisdom of the leaders of these two continents has overcome the regional problems and crises without the domineering interference of non-regional powers. The Islamic Republic of Iran has expanded its relations with Latin America and Africa in all aspects in recent years.

And about the glorious Iran, the Tehran Declaration was a hugely constructive step in confidence building efforts which was made possible through the admirable good will by the governments of Brazil and Turkey along with the sincere cooperation of the Iranian government. Although the Declaration received inappropriate reaction by some and was followed by an unlawful resolution, it is still valid.

We have observed the regulations of the IAEA more than our commitments, yet, we have never submitted to illegally imposed pressures nor will we ever do so. It has been said that they want to pressure Iran into a dialogue. Well, firstly, Iran has always been ready for a dialogue based on respect and justice. Secondly, methods based on disrespecting nations have long become ineffective. Those who have used intimidation and sanctions in response to the clear logic of the Iranian nation are in real terms destroying the remaining credibility of the Security Council and the trust of nations for this body, proving once and again how unjust is the function of the Council.

When they threaten a great nation such as Iran which is known throughout history for its scientists, poets, artists and philosophers and whose culture and civilization is synonymous to purity, submission to God and seeking justice, how can they ever expect that other nations to have confidence in them? It goes without saying that domineering methods in managing the world has failed. Not only has the era of slavery and colonialism and dominating the world passed, the path to the reviving old empires are blocked, too.

We have announced that we stand ready for a serious and free debate with the American statesmen to express our transparent views on issues of importance to the world in this very venue. It is proposed here that in order to have a constructive dialogue, an annual free debate be organized within the General Assembly.

In conclusion, friends and colleagues, the Iranian nation and the majority of the world’s nations and governments are against the current discriminatory management of the world. The inhumane nature of this management has put it at a dead-end and requires a major overhaul. Reforming the world’s affairs and bringing about tranquility and prosperity requires the participation of all, pure thoughts and the divine and humane management.

We are all of the idea that justice is the basic element for peace, durable security and the spread of love among peoples and nations. It is in justice that mankind seeks the realization of his aspirations, rights and dignity, since he is wary of oppression, humiliation and ill treatment. The true nature of mankind is manifested in the love for other fellow humans and love for all the good in the world. Love is the best foundation for establishing relation amongst people and amongst nations.

As Vahshi Bafqi, the great Iranian poet, says:

“From the fountain of youth, drink thousand sips
You’ll still die if you don’t have love’s grip”

In making a world full of purity, safety and prosperity people are not rivals but companions. Those who see their happiness only in the sorrow of others and their welfare and safety only in others’ insecurity, those who see themselves superior to others, are out of the path of humanity and are in evil’s course. Economy and materialistic means are only some tools to serve others, to create friendship and strengthen human connections for spiritual perfection. They are not tools for show off or a means of dominating others.

Men and women complement each other and the family unit with pure, loving and long-lasting relations of the spouses. In its center is the guarantee for the continuity and the bringing up of generations, for true pleasures, for spreading love and for reforming of the societies. Woman is a reflection of God’s beauty and is the source of love and caring. She is the guardian of purity and exquisiteness of the society. The tendency to toughen the souls and behaviors of women deprives them of their very basic right of being a loving mother and a caring wife. It would result in a more violent society with irreversible defects.

Freedom is a divine right that should serve peace and human perfection. Pure thoughts and the will of the righteous are keys to the gates of a pure life full of hope, liveliness and beauty. This is the promise of God that the earth will be inherited by the pure and the righteous. And the people free from selfishness will take up the management of the world. Then, there will be no trace of sorrow, discrimination, poverty, insecurity and aggression. The time for true happiness and for the blossoming of the true nature of humankind, the way God has intended, will arrive.

All those seeking justice and all the free spirits have been waiting for this moment and have promised such a glorious time. The complete human, the true servant of God and the true friend of mankind whose father was from the generation of the beloved Prophet of Islam and whose mother was from the true believers of Jesus Christ shall wait along with Jesus the son of Mary and the other righteous to appear in those brilliant times and assist humanity. In welcoming them we should join ranks and seek justice.

Praise to Love and worship, praise to justice and freedom, praise to the true humanity, the complete human, the true companion of humankind and peace be upon you and all the righteous and the pure.

Thank you.

Being Ciketing Simplified

noreply@blogger.com (Publisher : Danari & Danari) — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 02:48:00 +0000

By: Yoedi Karyono

"To build a house of worship, and it applies to any religion in this country, not just the formal juridical qualified and have the building license, but they must be smart to consider the sociological and psychological aspects of society in which house of worship is located."

It was no exaggeration Ciketing Asem Bekasi case is part of a large and long-term strategy, they are increasingly the target appeared at the meeting of the results even friendship in the context of Eid on September 19, 2010, which should be an expression of anger familial atmosphere, from the scholars and the Islamic community of Bekasi to the Mayor of Bekasi H Mochtar Muhammad became the target of anger, the mayor who came from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI P) out of the meeting room before event finished with a red face.

Mochtar Muhammad is a Muslim become firmly to the case of the Protestant Christian Batak Huriah (HKBP) are forced to worship in a vacant lot Ciketing Asem, and the land was owned HKBP, because the party political line that supports Mochtar Muhammad is supported wishes Ciketing HKBP. Thus there is a conflict between Muslims and the tensions it caused HKBP case.

''To build a house of worship, and it applies to any religion in this country, not just the formal juridical qualified and have the building license, but they must be smart to consider the sociological and psychological aspects of society in which house of worship is located, ' 'said Slamet Effendi Yusuf, chairman of religious harmony Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI).

For the case Ciketing HKBP Bekasi, said Slamet, they have rejected the society in which places or buildings that are candidates, although there is a formal proof of the support 60 people living with proof copies of ID cards was approved urban population, and was indeed qualified according to the Joint Ministerial Regulation No. 8 and 9 years old in 2006, but with the development Ciketing Asem, it's going to happen in the future will continue to happen rejection.

The local government of Bekasi has provided an alternative place of worship HKBP built, but still forced myself HKBP in Ciketing Asem. HKBP deliberately prolong this conflict with the target of mass media coverage. Even since the incident on 12 September 2010 all private television in Indonesia announces disproportionately favor the incident and HKBP.

Coverage of the oldest private television in Indonesia, even in tendius in the program until the offense is defending HKBP journalistic rules that should check, recheck, counter checks and cover bothside was not done even HKBP dramatizes a woman who lay preacher and conducted interviews, and when done close-ups of the priest's face is absolutely no scars, except for a hole in his cheek acne scars.

It conducted interviews with several people to Islam, but those interviewed did not credible even unknown and not related at all with the case. The case dated September 12, 2010, which actually clashes between the 10 Muslims who were now in police custody in Jakarta with 250 people over the congregation HKBP preached as a group of Muslim attacks against pilgrims HKBP being go hand in hand toward a vacant lot in Ciketing Asem. The clashes occurred when 10 people who ride motorcycles or crossing public streets, and they barikade, then yelled at the burglar.

But that was launched into the news is a group of people attack Islam, and they stabbed HKBP congregation. Until now no evidence tool to stab it and also to date no single congregation HKBP arrested by the police as the cause of the clash. And this is never reported by the mass media and television. Only private television version preaching HKBP case of course.

Until the rules at any time''along with two ministers about the construction of houses of worship will not be revoked. This Rule is to regulate the construction of houses of worship of any religion, and not at all contain rules that forbid them to worship,''said Religious Affairs Minister Suryadharma Ali.

That rule is the result of an agreement among religious leaders, and created in 1968, then made revisions in 2006. This rule previously very strict, they must collect 400 heads of families in agreement about the place of worship, after revised to only 60 people just to approve the construction of houses of worship. Now''they asked that this rule is revoked, what would happen. If they make mistakes, do not rule that lifted, but match their interests with those rules.''

Ustad According to one scholar Sulaiman Zachkaweroes Bekasi city, during this interfaith relations fine, only with this HKBP problems occur. I made it clear''that must be persona non grata HKBP from Bekasi, because for this they always make trouble. Case Ciketing not the first nor the last, HKBP would repeat again and deliberately looking for trouble.''

In 1986, Sulaiman said, HKBP never do the same thing, and it re-done over and over until the year 2010. We are with other Christians or other religious people who are in Bekasi there never was a problem. Why, they all comply with the agreed rules. Batak Tribe''the other with the various religions they can also adapt well and no problems. But a small b incorporated in this HKBP they always make trouble. So there is no other word other than persona non grata is the word most appropriate for them.''

Look at HKBP, they exposed a massive what is happening in Ciketing Asem dated 12 September 2010, and even worse they are calling themselves the Islamic national level and even international level without finding out what happened immediately give comments and denounced the incident , the curse is primarily addressed to the Muslims who are accused of violence. ''They were very apprehensive as the Islamic character, very sloppy. And this just causes more friction with other Muslims, and who have benefited from this type of situation, they are the enemies of Islam and intents that are hostile to Islam.''

Even more alarming is the attitude of another President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, the president immediately ordered the health minister to visit HKBP two people, while police arrested 10 people in police custody and there is absolutely no a visit, even though they have a leaky head, his hand was broken. ''Even Islamic leaders and also leaders of Islamic parties no one visiting them. Our attitude is very disappointing.''(www.rainbowdiplomacy.com)

Christian Mission in the Spread of Religion

Christianization Really exist? Why do they do? What is the target they want to achieve? Here are the answers and the questions often raised laymen. Carry out the mandate of Jesus' great cross-culture / religion based on the Book''Go ye therefore, and teach all my disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit (Mark 28: 19)

''Then he said to them:''Go into all the world, preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15). Their motto of''View. I am sending you like sheep into the midst of wolves, so you should be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.''(Matthew 10: 16)''So to the Jews I became like a Jew, so I won the Jewish people . For people who live under the law, so that I can win those living under the law.''(Corinthians 9: 20) established institutions kindergarten study (Theology Kalimatullah).

According to Samuel Zwemmer. A missionary from the United States and also as chairman of the Jewish agency association said,''The attempt to convert Muslims to be done in two ways. Directions and destruction.''What is meant by way of coaching is to build and put the Muslims into the Christian religion, such as intensive assistance given nine staple of daily life (food), free medical care and other ways that exploit poverty and weakness of the Muslims .

While intended by way of destruction, namely how to remove the Muslims from their religion, even atheists want to be, the most important issue of a Muslim from his religion first, so do not think trying to defend his religion and Muslims are not virtuous, they destroyed first moral way of free sex, sex, drugs, pornography and other means aimed at the way of moral damage.

''Our goal is not directly to make them Christians and Muslims become Christians, because we will not be able to, but remember is how the Muslims away from Islam, this is what we have achieved even though they did not join us,'' Zwemmer said.

According to Dr. H. Berkhof, in his book Church History 321 pages,''Can we conclude that Indonesia is a region blessed gospel of God with a beautiful and great results for sowing seeds of God's word, the number of Protestant Christians has reached 13 million more will be but Do not forget we're in the middle of the middle of 150 million Muslim population.''

So, Berkhof said, the task zending young church in this continent is still very large and heavy. Not only the rest of the infidels who do not how much it needs to hear the good news, but also a large Muslim religion which is a fortress that difficult once defeated by the hero of heroes of the Gospel.

Moreover,''not just the commoners layer below that must be conquered by Christ, especially community leaders, the intellectuals, the upper and middle classes,''he said.

Meanwhile, Pope John Paul II in his time issuing appeals Pope calls on Catholic to spread Christianity. In a recent letter issued a fatwa edarannya to the Catholic ecclesiastical take action to spread the Catholic Religion. He stressed the importance of the Christianization of all parts of the world, including the domestic law of the land where Islam prohibits the displacement of Religion.

The Pope stressed that the Islamic countries and also other countries in order to immediately revoke the rules of Islamic people of other religions without naming the country directly. The Pope mentioned the Middle East countries, Africa and Asia where the missionaries denied his presence, to them, the Pope called for an open the doors to Christ.

Doulos World Mission leadership of Rev. Dr. Hutasoit Ruyandi in Indonesia, and their focus is to convert the 125 tribes in Indonesia and that means as many as 160 million people. The target was reached in 2000, and are targeted are those of the isolated tribes, then heading home Doulos establish worship and founded the church and high school Theologian. The next step provides the gospel in the form of the language of each tribe.

Program GO (Gospel Overseas) tergetnya is to make the entire Indonesian nation as a follower of Christ. With these developments, it is impossible for tolerance and religious harmony would be achieved and is running well, because the Christians too impose its will, and it is an intolerant attitude. Therefore, it is increasingly clear distinction between Islam and Christianity in terms of religious tolerance. (Quoted from Islamic Symbols tabloid edition XXVII/www.rainbowdiplomacy.com)

Indonesian Muslims, victims and suspects

noreply@blogger.com (Publisher : Danari & Danari) — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 12:07:00 +0000

Bloody clashes between Muslims Huriah Kristen Batak Protestant (HKBP) with the Muslims eventually erupt and become large, and it is thanks to the electronic mass media, both print and on line the enlarged exaggerated. According to nearly all the mass media, the incident was the assault with sharp weapons by the Islamic Ummah to one pastor HKBP and resulted in serious injuries and almost on the liver. In addition, an assistant pastor suffered a bruise above his left eye. According to the version they were attacked in the mass media as they walked toward the place of worship.

Coverage is not balanced and blaming Muslims into their menu every day. Though based on the investigation of the incident on 12 September 2010 is the clash between the People HKBP with Muslims. Those who suffered wounds in the HKBP preached with such a large portion, while in the Islamic Ummah is experiencing leaky head and other injuries was never reported.

In addition, two days later police made arrests of 10 people suspected of Muslims commit acts of violence resulting in bloody wounds. Meanwhile, from HKBP until now no one is sure which is used as a suspect, let alone who was arrested for cases of violence.

According to the Secretary of The Bekasi Muslim Congress Sali Mangara Sitompul, clashes between them occur at the time they passed each other, after the race convoy HKBP doing exactly provocation as far as three miles from home is sealed because the government misused to a place of worship to a vacant lot in Ciketing Asem.

People HKBP''deliberately provoked to attack the Muslim population, by singing and even mocked, and eventually the clash, the result is 10 people of Islam and they suffered further wounds were arrested, while the party has not to date HKBP Nobody was arrested,''said Sali.

They, the People HKBP conducting convoy of around 300 people and is said to attack as many as 10 people,''Great correct them. Do they dare to attack hundreds of people Rambo. Ten people including Ustad Murhali Bardah accidental crossing, after following activities elsewhere, and eventually the clash.''

Sali said, they deliberately look for things and they are neatly arranged to occur lliputan broad mass media, in case of clashes. They had been warned in advance that the house be a place of worship is against the rules of government as outlined in the Joint Decree Two Ministers (Ministers of Religion and Minister of Interior), among others, if the established place of worship at least 90 people and there are 60 approval signatures from local residents.

Indeed there was a signature, but after dicross check with residents who provide a signature, that signature was a fake. They then forced to worship in a vacant lot located about three miles from the place of beginning. In this place that the majority Muslim population reject their existence. Why, because this is not an empty land to build places of worship, although the land belonged to one of his congregation HKBP. Land that was in the midst of the Islamic community is already many times used as a place of worship, and also repeatedly rejected by local residents.

To prevent clashes between local residents, since six months ago at HKBP pilgrims who come from outside the area of worship, they were guarded by police who numbered around 800 personnel, while pilgrims HKBP only about 40 people, and they worshiped in the vacant lot and heat. They include an exclusive group, congregation and they are the Batak Protestant, and no other ethnicities who worship with them.

However, they still forced myself to worship in that place, and they make a show of force, when they feel less comfortable engaging in worship in the clearing, they do worship in front of Merdeka Palace in Jakarta, and certainly they maneuver to get media coverage in and abroad. They achieve targets that they've got difficulties in conducting worship, and they get trouble from the Muslims.

With this development and to prevent clashes between HKBP congregations who worship in the clearing Ciketing Asem, Bekasi Local Government has provided an alternative place of worship in the Department of Social Bekasi, or if you want in an empty lot at the Foundation has dsediakan Strada or land in PN Timah. But the alternative to this government they do not accept, and HKBP still forced to worship in Vacant Land Ciketing Asem in the middle of the majority Muslim population centers.

Muslims who feel disturbed over the existence and worship, they began to react, and many, many times they are involved in tension, but the police can prevent. HKBP it has filed for permission to build places of worship since almost 20 years ago, in that place. But their chosen place is not possible to establish places of worship of other people, it is very prone to clashes.

Muslims''have never banned them worship according to his religious beliefs. But if their places of worship which would then cause problems, yes they should think again. But from the existing development they are deliberately looking for trouble and deliberately provoke violence. Furthermore, with the mastery of their media blaming Muslims,''said Sali.

So far, Islam has always considered intolerran, no freedom of worship there is no religious freedom whereas the problem was not that, the problem is the construction of houses of worship of course this is two different things. Where where even in the center of the world beradaban New York, Paris, Switzerland, London, Sidney and others the establishment of houses of worship is a problem that there is no end, of course if in western countries at the center of world civilization Muslims are having difficulty, the Islamic Ummah be inhibited by reason of minority heritage, such as in Sydney, Switzerland, London and Paris discrimination in other countries.

But if traced further, then the grounds of religious differences which became the base of the problem in the fact that the problem pembagunan house of worship is the most important problem of all beradaban how the state and the government has clear rules, what happens in Ciketing Asem Bekasi West Java reflect the non-fulfillment of the rule of law it.

If we look at the reality of religious life in Indonesia, we can say Indonesia is a tolerant country in the world, although the majority population is Muslim, not a national holiday on Friday but Sunday. Of course the benefit is due on the day Christians that they can carry out his worship with khusu ', as well as the number of churches in Indonesia can be found very much and is in the heart of the city. Very rarely do we hear and see the church congregation that holds trouble.

Compare with Muslims that every Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, to pray on the field every Friday prayers even forced to pray in the street, because the room could no longer accommodate the mosque. The same thing happened in the land of the Muslims of Western countries, but would later accuse Muslims there is no freedom of religion and worship, whether Muslims accused then there is no tolerance.

None''is that even law-abiding Muslims do not practice their religion in a location that is not allowed. Whereas in the case Ciketing, government and local Muslims have to give tolerance to them for 19 years allowed them to worship in a place of worship is not intended,''he said.

However, when the congregation they are more and more and the car park disturb the environment, they are asked to worship in the proper place, and at this point they then want to build houses of worship, but knock the rules, and even then force yourself to worship in places that are not permitted, although the government has provided an alternative place a more decent and comfortable, but they insisted to refuse it.

Action walk in groups from the old place to the desired place in a hot atmosphere certainly is not elegant and provocative, penusukkan action that occurs in processes such eskalatif of course we can never justify criminal acts and even cursed him. The incident became a painful necessity of all parties, and it made the average person.

''Although already created one opinion that the culprit was a radical organization. The incident happened at Ciketing not going to happen if there is no inferiority government. The government strictly forbids worship activities at places that do not have permission, let alone it was very eskalatif,''he said.

The attitude of inferiority it actually has become a disease caused by the oppressed many centuries since the colonial period, because when the Muslims became victims of massacres in Ambon and Poso in Borneo was never called as a barbaric act in the name of religion, when clearly the victims only those who are Muslims, this the called on the Indonesian people that the tyranny of the minority had occurred.

Meanwhile, Gumar Gultom Secretary General of the Indonesian Communion of Churches (PGI) and also Thanksgiving Nababan member House of Representatives (DPR), which comes from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI P) remained firm for regulation along with two ministers of the religious building is revoked. Rule''was not relevant and this minority of our burdensome to establish places of worship, because it rules shall be revoked and replaced by the more reasonable.''

This intention, of course, be rebutted by very hard by the former board chairman of Nahdatul Ulama KH Hasyim Muzadi,''There is already a rule only the noise and the problem still occurs, moreover there are no rules. What would a bigger mess? It's just obey the rules and become good citizens.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the Board of Nahdatul Ulama KH Said Agyl Siradj reacting to events September 12, even scholars who are known as Gus Dur's favorite son willing to guard, waiting for and protect the People of HKBP who practice their religion in a way to mobilize Ansor Barisan Serba Guna (Banser). ''I'll tell Banser to keep our brothers HKBP Ummah, if indeed the police are not able to keep them.''

Of course attitudes Agyl Said to be a strange thing, he who had been considered a man of peace and anti-hooliganism, while highly provocative statement as appropriate thugs, and ready to clash with other Muslims. ''Mr. Kiai should remind his brother that HKBP that attitude is wrong HKBP, force yourself worship, build places of worship in a place that's not intended to places of worship,''said Sali.

Secretary General of the Department of Religion, Bahrul Hayat said the number of churches across Indonesia there are 48 thousand more, while the number of mosques as many as 700 hundred thousand more. ''But the development of the construction of churches in Indonesia by 150 percent, while the development of the mosque by 63 percent.

The attitude of members of Parliament from the PDI P who always support HKBP, whatever they do is purely for political purposes, the People HKBP are pockets at the general election vote for the PDI P. Not only Gratitude Nababan, there is also Budiman Sudjatmiko and will follow a few more that will be involved in this issue. However, it's odd that this story down until none of House members who had been claimed as the party of Islam, or Islamic-based party to defend Muslims who are troubled over the case. They fear or pretending pretending to be wise?

Asem Ciketing cases only a small case, but the Christians have a larger hidden agenda again, including revocation of regulation along with two ministers of the religious building, the dissolution of the organization that is considered radical actions that had been considered adversely Christian movement, and they do intensive cooperation with liberal groups, those who feel aggrieved by this during the existence of Islamic Ummah to practice the religion in accordance with the Qur'an and hadith, such as Ahmadia and that is still a lot of strange flow within Islam itself, and they themselves are in the wind. Why, many Islamic leaders who indirectly support those maneuvers with the statement that benefits them.

In addition, cases that could diplotisir and become the world's news means they will get additional funds struggle, and gather support from all over Indonesia and even from around the world. And for Ciketing case they are very successful. The proof is all officials in this country react and especially the reaction of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Victims fact only two people and not die, they are not forbidden to worship. But the construction of places of worship where they are in trouble and they impose themselves.

They remain outraged Qur'an

Statement of President Soesilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY), who obtained wide support even from the world is at SBY deliver "strong warning" against the pastor Terry Jones, who plans to burn the Al Qur’an in nine years warning the collapse of the twin towers of the World Trade Center (WTC) in New York, known as the 911 event. The burning of the Qur’an''will only lead to bigger problems and consequently more terrible,''said SBY.

Here it shows just how extraordinary influence and information technology fully utilized by Father Jones, with the mass media world famous and have a network, CNN and more popular mass media proclaim Jones plans. Though Jones figure known only as a mentally ill person and only has a few followers only at Dove World Outreach Center Church, Florida, United States (U.S.).

Warning that they called "International Burning A Quran Day" including the anti-Islamic protests held by and will be celebrated every year on September 11 by burning the Qur’an Author idea is Pastor Terry Jones from their invites Christians around the world Al-Quran in order to burn that day. This year after receiving the world's reaction to Jones and his followers plan failed, but it will never possible to be repeated again in subsequent years.

Jones denied even if the show fails not because the world's reaction, but already have an agreement with local Islamic leaders that development of Islamic studies center and the mosque will be built outside the 911 ground zero in New York. Jones' plan was canceled. But some people in Washington do tearing the Holy Qur'an and the Qur'an was torn pieces distributed in public places. They were arrested on charges of throwing excrement at random in public places, not a desecration of religion, and of course the punishment meted out to them will be very light.

Jones plans to fail, and Muslims in several countries have reacted, including in Pakistan and Afghanistan by way of demos and burning the U.S. flag, the head of the Muslim-majority countries have also reacted with a warning loud enough, even the U.S. President Barrack Obama has also made the necessary steps to prevent Jones' actions. American''and had no intention of never hostile and hostile to Islam,''Obama said.

Yet in all these countries the development of multi Muslims got different reactions, even the Muslim immigrants who also regarded as a threat not only religion, but the threat of field work and life, that's why the Islamic community who became a minority in most democratic countries that claim often receive poor treatment and discrimination, they are complicated in practice their religion and beliefs. Even for their big anniversary, such as Idul Fitri and Idul Adha which they must perform their prayers in congregation with the congregation of at least 40 people are often compounded.

Rejection of any planned mosque construction in New York WTC ground zero, only one reaction only. Even predicted the Islamic community in the United States and European countries will not be getting easier in practice their religion and to establish places of worship, but the Islamists will experience very rapid growth. Why, those who previously did not understand Islam became increasingly curious to know why Islam is thus regarded as an enemy, and they eventually learn and interested in Islam.

Insistence on the development of Islam and Muslim communities not only in the U.S.. Even countries that have been known to be very neutral in all respects, the state has made the Swiss Act and the rules that prohibit the manufacture towers of the mosque, then forbids Muslims, especially women wearing burkah and development then planned to wear the headscarf ban in public places. They will get a penalty if the violation was.

France, Belgium, the Netherlands and will be followed some European countries already can certainly be doing the same thing. MPs often use Islam as an attack target object, and they do it to expand support of the majority religious population, the role of churches and priests were still very large to inhibit the development of Islamic religion. Even the way Greezt Wilder member parliaments in the Netherlands by making the film and also cartoons that insulted the prophet Muhammad in Danish Muslims do, and ultimately provoke reactions Muslims worldwide. Well, when the Muslims are reacting they preach in all the media networks that Muslims prefer a brutal and violent manner.

Very strange indeed, western countries which had always claimed to be a population of more advanced, more rational and better appreciate human rights with a variety of reasons have violated human rights with their Muslim various reasons, did not even dress how to wear clothes the closed-effacing body shape is much more polite. However, reasonable security forces in Muslim clothes can be used to conceal bombs or other explosives.

Franz Magnis Soeseno SJ, Christian leaders who came from Germany and settled in Indonesia said the priest conducted a case like Terry Jones, is very likely going to be someone else in the future. ''What I know from her son, Jones is now 58-year-old had been a pastor in Germany and he is a man with problems, especially with finances. Even his son says that this father had long since mentally ill.''

Burn the Koran, said Franz, whoever the perpetrators and whatever the reason is a very dangerous act stupid. it was agreed by the Reverend Nathan Setiabudi and Pastor Benny Soetrisno.

According to Islamic scholars, Prof. Azumardi Asra, Terry Jones, a kind of human species has existed in America since 1918, when the growth of Christian fundamentalism, and the Jones case also Manjadi material for domestic political interests of America itself, those who had been opposed by President Obama to do attack even religious issues they make fuel for the attack. ''According to the poll, as many as 12 percent of Americans still believe that Obama is a Muslim. The name of Hussein, Barrack Hussein Obama's middle name used for fuel, why is Obama considered to defend Islam. Now that's America.''(www.rainbowdiplomacy.com)

SBY just busy with herself

noreply@blogger.com (Publisher : Danari & Danari) — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 16:17:00 +0000

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) two days before the big day Muslims, Hari Raya Fitri 1431 H Indul need to invite owners of print and electronic media, senior journalists and reporters working in the environmental choice of the presidency to the Presidential Palace. Yudhoyono will deliver some important points relating to the state and nation. But what the president apparently responded very poorly by the people. Why, it is considered important by the president apparently was not considered important and useful by the people. Even far from the expectations of the people.

Prof. Hamdy Moloek, an expert in mass communications from the University of Indonesia said that. The same was also delivered by Prof. Tjipta Lesmana that political communication is very bad president. SBY''do not know what to say and what is most associated with the interests of this nation. SBY might not even understand that he is the President of the Republic of Indonesia,''said Tjipta.

SBY so fast reaction, when there was criticism from an Air Force Colonel Aviation Adjie Suratmadji SBY that as a very weak leader and also a sharp critic of SBY how to deal with corruption. SBY subordinates answered criticism two days after the criticism was published in the mass media.

SBY also explained about the change of chief of police, attorney general turnover, the capital of Jakarta memidahkan plan that did not directly attributable to the interests of small people. While SBY explain all the things that are considered important, some people are struggling between life and death to return to his hometown for the purposes of friendship. Transportation system that is not humane and is very prone to accidents used by citizens, and at any time revoke the little people's lives, both on sea transport, land and air.

Pak SBY''did not discuss this matter, although all the news channels preach everything that happens on the streets. Meanwhile, the president thinks everything is running normal. Convenient transportation system that is not harmful even this did not get special attention from the president,''said Hamdy.

The development of the Indonesia-Malaysia meeting September 6 at Kinabalu, is also not considered absolutely necessary by the president, so do not be disclosed its development. In fact, people want to see what developments happen. Previously, SBY is a statement about the state of tension in relations kedia Cilangkap Headquarters, but did not fit with expectations.

Pak SBY''preoccupied with his own opinion even contrary to the opinions and desires of the community, and the most severe Yudhoyono and other officials considered to be more in favor of Malaysia and the fear in Malaysia. Such a situation is very dangerous,''said Tjipta.

Meanwhile, Dr Effendi Ghazali, other political communication experts say, is now the spokesperson for the president became an interpreter said, they did not properly communicate what they want the government to its people, but they always make a rebuttal what the existing realities in society. This situation is extremely dangerous''for the president and also for this government. Why, the presidential spokesman said it did not want to receive suggestions, criticism from the people and they feel the most correct of all that is done. Therefore, it is very fair if a survey of independent institutions to produce conclusions that the popularity of Yudhoyono declined very dramatically.''

Pain is not sensitive, do not even care SBY has been so severe, in another world precisely in the United States, or rather in Gainesville Florida event planning to commemorate the 9 / 11 with Al-Quran.Church how to burn this behavior has been known for its controversial since its inception by Pastor Terry Jones in 1981 warning that it was planning attacks of September 11, 2001 by way of burning the Al Qur’an. "The purpose of this celebration and other protests is to give people the opportunity to convert Muslims," said Father Terry Jones in the AP quotes.

This is, absolutely not responded to SBY, whereas 98 percent of Indonesia's population numbered 230 million more are Muslim, like it or not, willing or unwilling, if the combustion carried the Qur’an is true then there would be reactions among Muslims , and it is not impossible to happen in the world, and also Indonesia, of course.

Events''potentially a very large and very dangerous problem is not at all responded in an event that is considered important to invite the leaders of the mass media came to the court,''said Effendi.

Indeed the Qur'an burning plan gets a reaction from the Vatican. The Vatican strongly condemned the plan, if properly implemented, then that will happen is that an unexpected event on the combustion reaction Qur'an. Even U.S. Secretary of State Hilllary Clinton mentioned the plan of arson and if properly done, then what will happen is an unexpected reaction, and this would be very detrimental to the interests of the United States as a whole.

Among Muslims themselves there is a belief in the Holy Qur'an as the sacred book of its existence will be protected and maintained directly by Alllah SWT, but this does not mean that Muslims will stay calm if harrasment scripture by burning,''There would be reactions accordingly, we'll see. But I guess they would not dare do that. Unpredictable reaction not only to the U.S. or U.S. interests, but religion is considered to be ignored and no action to prevent burning up the Qur’an,''said Bernard Ustad Abdul Djabar.

SBY, not at all sensitive to this sort of thing, said Tjipta, he was only sensitive when it is related to himself, if writing Colonel Adjie not appear in the newspaper, I think there will never be invited to explain to the media. SBY''must abandon the habit of speech and speech that is not to the point, he must be more firmly and directly to the problem. In addition, he must quickly anticipate and have the correct prediction.

As the president SBY certainly has a lot of experts, advisers who give consideration to what is conveyed by the president in public, or the expert staff and his advisers had just become submissive who only according to what is said and desired, and just look SBY to look naive and what is presented becomes increasingly clear, even just a personal reaction from a SBY because he criticized.

Meanwhile, an expert in communications and political SBY, Daniel Sparinga who is also a political doctoral mention that what the president has been very timely. Mr. President''has been very assertive in delivering his speech, and indeed this is about style and presentation, and certainly very different from the style of President Soekarno, the President of Indonesia from the past. But we are very concerned to change the style Pak SBY, and I accept any criticism for anything better.''(www.rainbowdiplomacy.com)

Indonesia will continue to be harassed Malaysia

noreply@blogger.com (Publisher : Danari & Danari) — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 04:52:00 +0000

By: Yoedi Karyono

What's important outcome of the meeting / negotiations between Indonesia-Malaysia Kinabalu September 6, 2010. Does not exist and is not important. That's one of the loudest response from the majority of Indonesian intellectuals. Very bad reaction to the Indonesian government's attitude from within country much stronger when compared to the reaction of Malaysia as a negotiating partner. Negotiations between the two neighboring countries, after the arrest of three Indonesian officers by Police Diradja Malaysia on August 13 last. At Indonesia teritory.

''The President of Indonesia and the Indonesian Government should and could have been lenient. But the whole Indonesian people will not be soft, and will never be soft on all the harassment by Malaysia,''said Rizal Ramli, a former minister of economy in the era of President Abdurrahman Wahid.

Malaysia's brazen attitude towards Indonesia conducted a massive, both by the government, its officials and residents. Why, they feel more than the nation of Indonesia. They feel smarter, richer and more dignified. Indon designation of the Indonesian people that they do consciously and the fair is an insult to the people of Indonesia.

Attitude of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) is soft and slow and this is a very timid exploited Malaysia. ''Yudhoyono delivered his speech in Cilangkap, Headquarters of the generals, who previously also stated that in order not to compromise sovereignty, totally ignored Malaysia. Why, indeed the president's reaction was not a strong signal, so totally ignored,''said Rizal.

According to Rizal, in diplomacy can not be done by this bland and mushy. If you want to do in diplomacy must have a strong self-confidence, and if necessary step on the opposite leg first.

SBY, is very weak and helpless against Malaysia. Why, he did not know what to do with nearly three million Indonesian people who became workers in Malaysia. Malaysian investment in Indonesia fear withdrawn if there is something between the two countries. Should have done''is how to unlock new jobs and overcome the Indonesian population who work in Malaysia if they are forced to go home,''he said.

A careful calculation of these two countries actually kekekuatan Indonesia is still far superior, Indonesia to the world economic rankings at number 22, while Malaysia in rankings at number 45. But because of personal weakness is also its president and his administration system, then everything becomes hesitant. When compared with military weapons systems of both countries, Malaysia is far superior.

''But Malaysia's army was the army who are afraid to die and they never directly kill his opponent. They fear death because they receive large salaries, the army salon and decoration only, as with other Indonesian soldiers who, despite their military arsenal is not good, but they are very well trained to kill people, they were tested in Aceh, Ambon and other conflict areas, ' 'said Permadi SH mouthpiece claiming to be the first Indonesian president Sukarno.

According Permadi Indonesian diplomacy and diplomats, including SBY is very weak and can not be expected, so do not blame if the reaction does not believe in the ability to deal with SBY in Malaysia will increase. Highly successful diplomacy must be backed a strong sense of confidence there is even adage ci vis Pacem Parra bellum (if you're ready then to be ready to fight)

The reaction was disappointed over the attitude of SBY increasingly widespread even among religious organizations that have broad influence, Muhammadiyah not like the attitude of the president. ''President SBY is a reactive person. But for small things, for example about the case of a porn video. But for the important cases of abuse of Malaysia against Indonesian officials, the president did not react. This is an irresponsible attitude,''said Dien Syamsudin central executive chairman of Muhammadiyah.

The Indonesian people's anger against harassment by Malaysia reached a peak. After the Indonesian government about the arrest was slow to react and Indonesian officers only seven thieves exchanged with Malaysian fish previously captured Indonesian officers. Building Embassy of Malaysia to Indonesia in Jakarta one of them as the target of anger, even the building was pelted with excrement.

This is a Malaysian fishing reactions. Malaysian Foreign Minister Anifah Amman loud that even Malaysia's patience has run out. Yet ahead of neighboring countries has been too often violated, how many twenty maids from Indonesia and even tortured to death, claims of Malaysia for Indonesian arts, culinary even Indonesian islands are also often claimed. And now there are 177 Indonesian citizens on death row in Malaysia.

However, during this Malaysian officials if there reaski Indonesian officials, they always cover that we are allied brothers, neighbors and kin for the sake juga semangat ASEAN And it was all kecil yang problem can soon overcome, and fair course antara two countries would bertengga there are differences of opinion.

Actually, shame''if Indonesia should conflict with Malaysia especially when it comes to war. These same two neighboring countries with a majority of the population is Muslim, that should do not just neighbors, but your relationship. Also among the kingdoms in Malaysia is still a strong relationship with the royal blood of Indonesia, especially Sumatra and Sulawesi,''said Dien.

But, Malaysia has the ability to feel better, especially the ability of the economy and also felt she could have a maid and even a few domestic servants from Indonesia and was regarded as low employment, the growing sense of arrogance and contempt for the country and neighboring nations. Malaysia''is the New Rich (OKB) in ASEAN, and they feel superior. Also has a neighboring Indonesia, which is considered highly dependent on Malaysia as well as a weak national leader, the Malaysian becoming more brazen,''said Permadi.

Related to the border of the two countries, Malaysia did not want to accept United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), Since 1983, most coastal states have claimed exclusive economic zones (EEZs) over the Seas Extending 320 km (200 mi) from on their coastline. The EEZ is one of the main principles. ''If the country feels more civilized neighbors accept this then the case of Cape rafting, Sipadan Ligitan, Ambalat in the future and there are other cases will never happen,''said Prof. Hikmahanto Juwana, international observer from the University of Indonesia.

If this country enough guts and memilki memilki a very strong army, as well as economic conditions are very strong, the UNCLOS implementation very easy. During this stay on the map of Malaysia 1979. To solve this problem need not involve a third party. Why, if the third party involved, then some of our sovereignty means entrusted to them and the results will be tragic.

''Never mind, a meeting on September 6, 2010 at Kinabalu absolutely no use, strengthen only in the country. Nonsense diplomacy will succeed if not supported by sufficient military force,''he said.

In addition to the border issue at sea, the land border is also often claimed by Malaysia for the sake of economic gain. According to Prof. Andre Patton, Head of the Border in Borneo, boundaries are often moved several miles into the territory of Indonesia and Malaysian soldiers spent the wood is really on the territory of Indonesia, and the Indonesian government is not powerless against it.

Indonesia's territory''at the frontier in general is very poor and neglected, whereas in other countries across sudah living area is very affluent and this condition is very tempting, except that our officers with whom they often work together to steal the timber in his own country, and their want because they are economically very neglected and mentally also less good,''he said.

Until whenever, continued Andre, Malaysia will continue to create problems, which took place during the administration is still corrupt, do not pay attention to their military power, especially the guard the border, and also let the poor people, to become a housemaid just have to go abroad, they were tortured and humiliated.

In addition, the existing development, Indonesian officials, diplomats and even the president was impressed very much afraid of Malaysia's economic strength and even their very impressed defend the interests of Malaysia and became a spokesperson for the government and the interests of Malaysia, then do not blame if a wave of protests and resentment for this to Malaysia will turn to the President and also of Indonesian officials. And Malaysia to win again, because between elements within Indonesia are not united. (www.rainbowdiplomacy.com/picture:facebook)

Burn the Koran, they did hate Islam

noreply@blogger.com (Publisher : Danari & Danari) — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 05:15:00 +0000

By: Yoedi Karyono

How to make Muslims very angry. There are many ways, and one way that has been done on the Danish People Islam.Nabi is insulting Prophet Muhammad. Highly exalted Prophet Muslims are used as a material that is very insulting caricature. What is the reaction Muslims worldwide, they are very angry and emotionally hooked. Although there are also some small figures in Indonesian Islam, even that felt it was perfectly normal as a form of freedom of expression, they are the Liberal Islam Network (JIL).

The success of''the West'', in this case a handful of people in the State of Danish Muslims provoke anger, and then followed by some countries and those who claim to be an artist. Insult after insult and an attempt to provoke Muslims anger continued. Until finally they found a''genius''idea that Muslims burned the Bible, the Qur'an on the anniversary of the destruction of the World Trade Center twin towers in New York on September 9, 2010.

Warning that they called "International Burning A Quran Day" including the anti-Islamic protests held by Dove World Outreach Center and will be celebrated every year on September 9 by burning the Quran Author idea is Pastor Terry Jones of the Dove Church World Outreach Centre, Florida, United States (U.S.), they invite Christians all over the world in order to burn the Koran in the day.

Of course the genius idea of this anti-Islam and even get a reaction from the Christian community itself. Franz Magnis Suseno SJ, Christian Churchman called a moderate and rational thinking in Indonesia, said the idea of burning the Koran and fulfilling it is the idea stupid and foolish activities.

Even the usually JIL leaders defend freedom of expression to be afraid of ideas and plans for this activity. Lutfie Assyaukanie, in his Twitter account hoped that this movement is opposed by the Christian religion in Indonesia. "I call on fellow Christians in Indonesia to protest loudly plan a Church in Florida, the U.S. burned the Koran," he said in a Twitter account posted on Monday (08/02/2010) early days.

Among churches and Christian leaders are expected to attempt to curb the situation does not happen over-reactions, both among Muslims and Christians since the emergence of movements to burn the Koran. General Secretary of the Fellowship of Indonesian Churches (PGI) Gomar Gultom said, burn the Qur'an is the freedom that went too far in mengekperesikan thoughts and opinions.

Call it''was contrary to Christian teachings. In the prospective Christian religion is not justified provocation to anyone for any act of hatred like anger, but instead advocated coexistence. Because God is good to all people not just to Christians, we (PGI) will meet the elements of Christians to make them aware not to be affected by Pastor Terry Jones's invitation, "said Gultom.

Moreover, continued Gultom, PGI plans to meet with U.S. Ambassador to Indonesia Cameron Hume to convey a message to the government to abandon plans to Barrack Obama burning the Quran International. "We also called on churches in Indonesia that is not affected and can still coexist with any religious community.''

As reported, not long ago a church in Gainesville, Florida, will commemorate the events 9 / 11 with Al-Quran.Gereja how to burn this behavior has been known for its controversial since its inception by Jones in 1981 warning that it was planning attacks of September 11, 2001 by how to burn the Koran. "The purpose of this celebration and other protests is to give people the opportunity to convert Muslims," said Father Terry Jones in the AP quotes.

Previously, the church was also permah create controversy by writing a signboard "Islam is of the Devil". Not only the call via Facebook, the church is also spreading its message through Youtube with the same suggestion.

"Please ask yourself, have you ever actually seen a Muslim very happy when they were in Mecca? As they gathered on the floor of the mosque? Does it look like a religion filled with joy. No, for me this looks like evil religion, "he uttered one sentence that Jones in Youtube postings.

Islamic advocacy groups in the U.S. (CAIR) does not fire beard with this plan. They called for the movement does not hold digencarkan Islamophobia. In a proclamation, they campaigned for spreading 100 thousand Al-Quran. After the 911 event there is something anomalous in the U.S., Al Quran and the translation is very sold goods on sale at various bookstores.

"Muslim Communities in America and people who have a conscience should support positive educational efforts to resist the spread of Islamophobia," CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper.

Meanwhile, the National Association of Evangelicals, the largest evangelical group in the U.S., issued a statement urging the church to cancel the event. Because if the show and plan are still being done, the burning of the Koran that is still being done, the result could lead to tensions around the world between the two religions, Islam and Christianity.

"Let us develop a relationship of trust and respect for other religions. We are all His creation. Therefore, let mutual respect," the attitude of the National Association of Evangelicals.

Jones created Facebook page now has 1600 fans. But there are also other groups on Facebook with more than 3100 fans even blasphemous Jones. Reaction in Indonesia as the country with the largest number of Muslims worldwide are still quiet. ''If they really do burn Scripture Muslims on 9 September, I can not imagine what would happen. But I'm sure they will not do something stupid that,''said Chairman of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) KH Amidhan.

On September 9 this year coincides with the expiration of the fasting Muslims, and the next day is celebrated Eid. If they know there are people outside the Islamic holy book burning them then what will happen, it would be beyond prediction. Inequality them in very strange ways of thinking, if there are people who burn their holy book, then the action is said to be barbarism actions, terrorists and intolerant, but when they perform other actions that insult and offend Muslims is termed as an act of freedom of expression .

''If the Christians do the action, none of whom say they are Christian fundamentalist terrorists especially when what they are doing is an act of terror and evil is very dangerous provocation for Muslims even to the world,''said Bernard Ustad Abdul Djabar, one an Indonesian Muslim intellectual.

United States (U.S.) country that claims itself as the most democratic countries and countries that give priority to individual liberty, it was just nonsense. They even rejected the government's plan is very hard to establish a place of worship for Muslims / mosques in the two blocks of 911 events near ground zero, when the U.S. government plans to reflect this democratic attitude and respect for beliefs and religions of others.

But those who reject the reaction is, if the mosque was built remains the same as hurting the families of 911 victims, and in some U.S. public thought that the attack resulted in 911 it was Muslims who got the idea from the Quran. However from the developments, some 911 victims' families did not object to the development of Islamic Study Centre and also a mosque.

The mind is shallow and misguided''is still very dominant in American society who feel the brain is more civilized than us. It was Osama bin Laden is a Muslim, but Islam is not Osama bin Laden and they did not want to know with this reality,''said Abdul Djabar.

Muslims in U.S. are minorities, and they have a lot of obstacles in conducting worship and perform religious beliefs, the establishment of places of worship, Muslims worship the procedure is very limited and even bullied, even in European countries there is a pig's head hanging above the roof mosque, questioned how to wear clothes and other personal problems, and also abuse others, they did not ever show tolerance to Muslims. Though they had been admitted more civilized than Muslims.

Even according to the poll, 24 percent of Americans believe that President Barrack Obama is a Muslim. Obama's middle name, Barack Hussein Obama disputed that he is a Muslim because Obama's father a Muslim. Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Pallin Republican attacks against Obama and even exploit this for political purposes.

Invitation''breaking the fast at the White House, just to pretend as if they just tolerance of Islam. After breaking the fast are they praying maghrib prayer in congregation or tarawih. Former U.S. president before Obama also broke fast routine to do the show, but its impact is almost not there,''he said.

They can do as they pleased because they were in a majority position, so that their Muslim harrasment, they planned to burn the Koran and spread hatred, what happens if in Indonesia done the same thing, in this case the position is reversed. The majority of Muslims''do the same thing, burn their holy book, I think the world would be a different reaction, the mass media of television and others will react differently. But believe Muslims would never do such foolishness. It's not about courage or daring, but about using common sense.''

The Christians are a minority in some countries. Examples of such warmest in Kampung Ciketing Asem Bekasi. They Batak ethnic communities and they want to impose themselves at the same time to build their church, which was in the Islamic environment. They've been given an alternative place.

''They were deliberately provocative towards Muslims, and they assisted JIL and some labeled pruralisme organizations, and also all the mass media proclaim that Muslims were anarchists, without first investigating why it happened violence. In addition, they conduct worship services in other cases religion is demontratif only a few meters from the center of Islamic education which has stood for decades in advance,''said Abdul Djabar.

They perform a provocation, as well as Muslims systematically discredit and even their children who are still sitting in the school involved to conduct an insult to Islam through the website. The court was carried out on their mistakes, but very light sentence imposed. Well if''on Sept. 9 in Indonesia there is lured to follow the suggestion to burn the Qur'an, then how stupid they are, but it is not unlikely that they would do that foolishness.''(www.rainbowdiplomacy.com)

At Ramadan dinner, Obama defends plans for Ground Zero mosque

noreply@blogger.com (Publisher : Danari & Danari) — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 05:33:00 +0000

By Michael D. Shear and Scott Wilson
Washington Post Staff Writer

President Obama on Friday forcefully joined the national debate over construction of an Islamic complex near New York's Ground Zero, telling guests at a White House dinner marking the holy month of Ramadan that opposing the project is at odds with American values.

"Let me be clear: as a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country," Obama said at a White House iftar, the traditional breaking of the daily Ramadan fast.

"That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in Lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances," he continued. "This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable."

Obama expressed sympathy for the families of those killed in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks by al-Qaeda terrorists purporting to act in the name of Islam. But he told the gathering that included Muslim and other religious leaders that blocking the mosque, as some leading Republicans have angrily demanded, would undermine the country's claim to respect the free practice of religious expression.

The president's statement puts him once again at the center of a cultural clash just as his party enters the final stretch of a difficult congressional campaign. Polls suggest that most Americans disagree with his position; a recent CNN poll found 68 percent opposed to building a mosque near the Sept. 11 site.

Obama, who has made repairing strained U.S. relations with the Islamic world a centerpiece of his presidency, had remained silent for months about the nonprofit Cordoba Institute's proposal to build the Muslim cultural complex -- which would include a prayer room, the mosque component of the project, and "a Sept. 11 memorial and contemplation space" -- in Lower Manhattan.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Washington-based advocacy group, expressed satisfaction that Obama had finally decided to address the controversy.

"There was some disappointment when his press secretaries relegated it to being a local issue. But we're pleased," CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper said. "It was something that needed to be done by the president. The level of anti-Muslim hysteria has gotten out of control over this manufactured controversy."
But Dan Senor, a prominent New York Republican who has been a vocal opponent of the project, said Obama's remarks represented a "missed opportunity."

"He sets up a straw man, as if the debate were solely about religious freedom," said Senor, an adjunct senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. "One can respect religious freedom and private property, both of which are protected by the Constitution, and still oppose the plans of the Cordoba Initiative on the grounds they will move New York backward, not forward."

Senor, who worked for the U.S.-led Coalition Provisional Authority in Baghdad in 2003 and 2004, said Obama "had to weigh in, given the emotions this has stirred."
"But he could have embraced a defense of freedom of religion, and still called on the project's leaders to consider whether building it is the right thing to do," he said. (www.washingtonpost.com)

Abu Bakar Ba'asyir = Teacher terrorists?

noreply@blogger.com (Publisher : Danari & Danari) — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 14:10:00 +0000

By: Yoedi Karyono

Achievements'''most impressive and highly praised by the United States (U.S.) as well as Australia, countries which during the follow U.S. policy in attitude about terrorism, that the Government of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) has been able to capture this time Ustad Abu Bakar Ba' Naphtali (ABB), after the old man was the target of arrests by both the U.S. long enough and Australia.

The accusation, of course a matter of the brains behind terrorism ABB even regarded as the most dangerous person and through religious lectures which became his work, often accused of provoking people to become terrorists, or at least invite people to antipathy to the policies of Western countries. ABB was arrested two days before the commencement of the fasting month for Muslims holy month, and this means that ABB had to deal with the security forces, at least for one full month.

Now''is enough evidence to make arrests and detention against Ustad Abu Bakar Ba'asyir. He is the inspiration, advocate of terrorist activities which endanger state there is even evidence that he gave the form of funds to support terrorist activities in Indonesia, one of them is terrorist training activity which then uncovered in Aceh province some time ago,''said Asyad Mbai, Head of Desk Politics of Anti-Terror Law and Security Ministry.

ABB, in fact has long been involved in acts of terror in this country and even in some regions of the world, and in Indonesia, among others, in the case of a Bali bombing, bombing of the JW Marriot Hotel, and also other activities. ABB''was found guilty and has been engaged in the punishment meted out justice. Now, security forces have increasingly strong evidence that ABB is planning further terrorist acts.''

Court made to ABB, said Asyad, already through legitimate procedures, has been appealed and has been decided and already serving a sentence as a guilty person, and now the police is looking into a new case involving ABB.

Arrest made to ABB, it is very fast and that if attributed to reaction SBY statement in Bandung on August 7, the date of August 9 ABB had been secured. It was SBY in his speech at a military school in Bandung states''There is a group of young people doing evil plans and agreements, acts of terrorism is very dangerous, and that's just going to sacrifice other peoples children. Terrorism will never win in this country. I've got a report from the security (guards the president) on all plans.''

Police response is very fast, a day later the Special Detachment 88 (Densus 88) Police conduct raids and arrest of several people who considered or suspected terrorists, just a few kilo meters from where SBY standing, then a day later this anti-terrorist forces conduct raid and arrest of ABB.

ABB''will not be able to dodge again, the evidence that indicates involvement of the terrorist act was very pretty, ABB in every religion of provocative speech is always suggested that the government dropped thogut Muslims, and this is the Indonesian government is legitimate,''said Asyad Mbai.

Meanwhile, the Head of Criminal Investigation and Berar Police Headquarters (Kabareskrim) Commissioner-General Ito Sumardi mention, to this day (August 10) the police still have not found evidence that ABB was involved and become a brain acts of terrorism. Even''ABB legal defense team plans to do acts of pretrial arrest, seilakan course.''

Umar Abduh, an observer who is also close to the terrorists among the Muslim states that Ustad ABB are also caretakers / owners of boarding school in Solo Ngruki very confident of not guilty. ''The police and security forces also often make the mistake of catching ABB, is often linked cleric connect even find evidence that he sought involved an act of terrorism. But, apparently when he came to court the evidence was not valid and all the allegations are not proven. Finally searched looking for other errors that ABB can still imprisoned.''

''I am very confident this time police will also make the same mistake. But the search will still find a way to imprison the evidence and ABB. If convicted of first ABB identity of the passport forgery case, and it happened on a punishing regime of Soeharto regime Megawati. It's weird,''said Umar Abduh.

Ustad ABB is very vocal and very critical menentak U.S. and its allies, even always evoke the spirit of jihad against the U.S. handedness rations and allies around the world, ABB even been a target of destruction during the Soeharto regime. ABB is very critical''and against injustice, his regime and that whoever carried out until now.''

Therefore, further Umar Abduh, the U.S. and its allies is very concerned that ABB silenced, if possible forever. See just a day after Yudhoyono delivered his speech, the White House welcome and praise that Indonesia is one country that is successfully overcome the problem of terrorism.

Even the rumors say, why did U.S. President Barrack Obama canceled several visits to Indonesia, because ABB has not been arrested and secured. Based on U.S. intelligence reports ABB figure represents a very dangerous person. ''That's why the U.S. and its allies, especially Australia strongly welcomes the arrest of ABB.''

To capture the ABB, said Umar Abduh, no need to use violence let alone use Densus 88, this person is very old and even he is a pious person and I'm based from several meetings with Ustad ABB, it is not unreasonable if ABB recommends funding of terrorism and even memeberikan for terrorist training, if mengajurkan jihad war against the United States and its allies outside the country of Indonesia is carried out massively. ''But for the terrorism committed in the territory of Indonesia Ustad ABB had not given the support, let alone provide funding recommendations. If later on this case to go to court, I am very sure will happen engineering evidence that would incriminate Ustad ABB. This is very dangerous.''

Meanwhile, Ustad Abdurrachman Assegaf saah a claim is very close to the Ustad ABB suggested, so that all Muslims are peaceful, did not comment on various kinds which ultimately will be more mempesulit circumstances. ''Come on let's face it calmly and will prove it in court, whether Ustad ABB guilty or not.''

This government, said Assegaf, indeed many of the problems and attitudes towards the aspirations of Muslims are often disappointing, for example, this administration never dared to declare that the teaching is forbidden and should be banned group existence in Indonesia. ''How to demand ban on Ahmadiyya lot, not by bombing or an act of terror. This problem is often lack of government attention.''

Munarman SH, Head of Advocacy Team for the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) said, FPI had evidence and witnesses who actually provide and training and which they regard as a terrorist training in Aceh some time ago. Police Mobile Brigade''deserter named Sofyan Tsauri. He was arrested once and dug all the details, do not ABB cleric who was arrested and forced to impose and compelled Ustad ABB evidence of guilt by the U.S. and its allies orders.''(rainbowdiplomacy.com/photo:khabarislam.wordpress.com)

Intentionally disrupt Ahmadiyya Indeed

noreply@blogger.com (Publisher : Danari & Danari) — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 01:02:00 +0000

By: Yoedi Karyono

Thorn in the flesh in a predominantly Muslim country with a flow of ahli sunnah wal jamaah- followers of the prophet Muhammad's teachings and uphold the teachings of the Qur'an and hadith of Prophet Muhammad. Flow, which is still claimed to Islam and had been declared false and misleading by the flow of Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) - the highest authority of Islamic scholars. It is the Ahmadiyya flow, flow, which is taught by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, was in Indonesia the number of their community is not much, but it remains a problem, even a very dangerous physical conflict between the followers of the Ahmadiyya Muslim followers of the Prophet Muhammad.

Physical conflict and very potentially lead to the most recent fatalities occurred in the village of Manis Lor, Kuningan regency, West Java. Physical conflicts that often occur before even going to happen again in the future, as long as there are on earth Ahmadiyah Indonesia. And this conflict will come down from generation to generation. It is of interest in the event of physical attacks in the village of Manis Lor, not only among the followers of the Ahmadiyya Muslim group, but followers of the Ahmadiyah by the police and local government.

They, the followers of the Ahmadiyah deliberately prepare themselves with stones, iron pieces and even a sharp weapon. They are prepared to deal with the most rugged and hard, and it was done at the time of the sealing apparatus of government conduct so-called Annur Mosque Ahmadiyya places of worship. Ahmadiyah followers who became the majority in the village and they were there since the year 1953.

Earlier, Muslim groups have led the dialogue of followers of Ahmadiyah and even local government has several times invited them to dialogue about the legitimate or not their teachings. Why Muslims are guided by the Koran and Hadith disturbed by the existence of Ahmadiyah. Since the last prophet of Islam is Prophet Muhammad and the Islamic holy book is the Qur'an.

Ahmadiyya''recognizes only Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as the last prophet and holy book they are taksiroh. And they are very confident that that go to heaven only from the Ahmadiyya group, it's crazy. They've given the understanding that their doctrine is wrong, if it would create a new religion that's fine, but do not do the desecration against other religions, in this case Islam, this will cause problems,''said Hartono Ahmad Jaiz, specifically Muslim scholars research about Islam.

In the country they came from, Lahore Pakistan this genre has been declared as an apostate and forbidden, even Saudi Arabia has been very long do they ban the pengkikut this genre to perform the Hajj in Mecca and Medina, because they've obviously not Muslims. Muslims that Prophet''is the Prophet Muhammad and his holy book is the Qur'an. Beyond the recognition that it is not Islam.''

Therefore, the followers of the Ahmadiyah if the upcoming hajj to Lahore Pakistan, said Ahmad allowed but not required, this form of Islam is very clear is the desecration of the Islamic religion and that was affirmed in PNPS Law No. 1 Year 1965, and was confirmed again by the Constitutional Court on April 2010.

MUI''in 2005 and a decree along with three ministers have been very clear Ahmadiyya is a cult and misleading, and they should only be taught to trust that they believe their own ranks, apart from that they are being trained to return to the true teachings of Islam ,''said Religious Affairs Minister Suryadharma Ali.

However, an invitation to dialogue from Muslims have never been ignored by the Ahmadiyya, they continue to behave as an exclusive group even in the teachings of Ahmadiyah followers that they are only going to get into heaven, and they are very confident that the doctrine which they profess is true doctrine .

Fanaticism Ahmadiyya belief among them is what makes them massively to be extreme, besides the support of the Liberal Islam Network (JIL) makes the existence of Ahmadiyya 'stronger' plus international support on the pretext of freedom of religion, and also the support of the international Ahmadiyya centered on London England even more a Ahmadiyah in Indonesia has become convinced that his teaching is the most correct.

''Let the Ahmadiyya live and develop in Indonesia, we should be tolerant of others beliefs are believed, was the new name of religious diversity, mutual recognition and mutual respect,''said one of JIL, Ulil Abshar Abdallah.

Muhammad Bashier, one of the Ahmadiyya leader said that the teaching was undertaken by the rules and did not violate law and human rights, because that dialogue will be conducted with other groups will not be any good, because they do not want to know and do not want to understand with the existence of Ahmadiyah.

Issues of trust'', the question of religious belief is a matter of honesty of heart. I think they are not honest enough with himself, even his heart had been closed and it is difficult to accept the guidance of a divine Creator,''said Omar Hussein Guidance Director General Ministry of Religious Communities.

If the followers of the Ahmadiyah very confident with what is learned, then they will be more extreme, if you want to create a new religion that's fine, as long as they do tapai This is desecration of the Islamic religion,''The Holy Qur'an selewengkan them, they cut pieces of Qur'anic verses according to taste and interests, they use the attributes of Islam, this is a problem for other Muslims,''said Hussein.

The development of increasingly hard stance Ahmadiyya, even ready to do physical violence, while a few years ago a similar incident occurred in Parung Bogor, Bogor and local governments to close their places of worship, said to be prepared to make the Ahmadiyya community in Parung region as a distribution center to the entire Ahmadiyya world. Ahmadiyya networks are wonderful, they use electronic media to the international satellite network to deliver the preaching.

Violent incident in the village of Manis Lor, Kuningan, in Parung and other violent incidents related to their Ahmadiyya labeling as a war of Jihad. Ahmadiyya be developing quite freely during the presidency of Abdurrahman Wahid and Amien Rais, Chairman of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) at the beginning of reform, then they increasingly exist.

With the support of financial strength, the Ahmadiyah group then bought the land legally, and then with their shrewdness and also the condition of corrupt government, then the permission to build places of worship they can be issued, and their worship building a wide, solid and grand standing. Besides the Islamic attributes they use to make them familiar, but the essence of their teachings with the teachings of Islam are very different, even Ahmadiyya has made desecration of Islam.

''If they had been detected since the beginning of the Ahmadiyya, then no development will ever occur in such places of worship they are sturdy and stately, and they quickly can be developed that belief that for this they profess is false, and heretical taint Islam, will further cause problems,''said Hartono.

Minister of Religious Affairs said, obey all the rules that already exist, especially with ministerial decree as well as MUI, if Ahmadiyya remain in violation, then apply the laws and rules strictly. ''If it is not done, then the new chaos will happen again, and it was intentional to draw international attention. This way it is ridiculous.''(rainbowdiplomacy.com/picture:www.eramuslim.com)

Presidential Guard, had to be fierce?

noreply@blogger.com (Publisher : Danari & Danari) — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 13:43:00 +0000

By: Yoedi Karyono

After President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY), his family, ministers and presidential staff, now the Presidential Security Force (Paspampres) becomes the target of criticism. They were considered too arrogant and arbitrary authority to the people. This reform era was allowed to speak anything, doing criticism to anyone, and those who become targets of criticism

Even the public expectations for a strong and assertive president. But it is a president who obtained more often complain when it relates to his own affairs, for the affairs of others, for the affairs of the people he leads SBY almost do not care. Case of three kilos of explosive gas cylinders which had claimed to be a successful program conversion from oil to gas, it turns out after the impact occurs president silent. There was no immediate statement from SBY apologize for adverse gas explosion.

The President''should not complain of any problems that occur. But it proved to work hard and prove that SBY care to its people,''said Dr. Indira Samego, a political observer Indonesian Institute of Sciences.

With the president's whiny, Indira said, would only further increase the number of political opponents and unsympathetic attitude to SBY. This government has failed to organize the administration, look at all the price increases of basic commodities are out of control. ''What do the ministers even provide report cards that are considered to work less than the maximum. Not only the three ministers, but all ministers and presidents at the same time work is not maximal for the people.''

Indira said the president in fact only adds to the problem, coupled with the arrogance of his bodyguards, who are very sensitive people even more a target of sharp criticism SBY, the case of rudeness SBYyang guards then entered the print media by staff danditanggapi mejadikan president increasingly large problem, the more people who know.

Have not finished the one cases, followed by other cases that occurred during the national Children's Day commemoration at the mini park, protest of a child who feels abused by the child and claimed that the harsh action is the guardian of the president. ''I ditoyor (pushed his head) told to step aside after shaking hands with Mr. President,''said Clara the little boy who felt it necessary to rough.

Of course, that event mendaat reaction from the Palace, the presidential staff Achmad Yani Basuki area of information strongly denied that the conduct was not a presidential bodyguard, and is not known who did it, but the event staff expressed keprresidenan apologize. This objection is very naive, security and escort the president and his family must be very strict.

If there are incidents, which then only to embarrass the presidential guard and they do not know or could not even prevent, this is very dangerous. All of the events within the presidential palace or outside the palace still have to get a very tight guard, around the president that there were guards, protocol officers, guest or a guest of the president and then there are a few journalists.

''If there are people outside the entrance, then head menoyor children who became president of guests, and the guards did not know who did it. This means that there are other people who illegally entered the ring one that allowed by the guards, this is very dangerous,''said Indira.

Ditoyor definition is violence perpetrated against people older child, with the target's head. While there are almost similar to Definitively ditoyor ditonyor ie. If ditonyor of the Java language, especially in East Java is stike hard fist with a person's mouth or lips.

And people of Indonesia''I could not agree if a president, any president received a special escort and security is very tight, because that's the standard security and escorts around the world to heads of state or head of government,''he said.

But if because of security and escorted it later resulted in displeasure let alone loss of life in society, then this would be a problem. Presidential entourage, directly or indirectly, had resulted in accidents and casualties on the highway Jagorawi few years ago, now the presidential bodyguard arrogance.

''It all depends on the problem behaviors, those who feel more powerful, to feel more important then feel entitled to do anything. This is very dangerous,''said Indira.

After the events of a presidential bodyguard who yelled and threatened to shoot if road users do not want to pull over, when the presidency passed rombonngan, so many suggestions to the presidential residence in the Palace of course, this is done so that the president does not need to commute from his home in Bogor to Cikeas palace complex in central Jakarta.

Mr. President''would never reside in the palace complex, at any time for any reason, will still be carried out round-trip Cikeas - Palace. Jakarta is indeed bad for ordinary people, but not for the president and other officials, they received guard facilities, security and even open the jammed roads,''said Yenny Wahid.

Yenny Wahid, who is also son Abdurrachman Wahid, the fourth president of this country during the jabatanya father stayed in the palace complex, and it was not until two years later Gus Dur 'Wahid Abdurrachman calls deposed. Dad''had been warned by fengshui experts residing in the palace that is not good for the office of president, this will only shorten the term of office. Why, the Palace complex was interrupted by the shadow of the National Monument (Monas) and this is very bad for the home office. That said, feng shui expert.''

The first president of this country Ir Soekarno, residing in the palace complex, and he held positions as president from 1945 until 1966. And that means 21 years, long enough. Suharto's Jalan Cendana residence in Menteng to power in 1966 until 1998, and that means 32 years. President Habibie, residing in Drogheda, with the government less than two years, followed by Megawati's residence in Menteng, nor until one period, even just continue Wahid administration.

While SBY, because the rules of the presidency has changed and only in two periods only, then only 10 years Yudhoyono became president. ''So I do not believe with all the predictions and feng shui. For this second position was the President should reside only in the Palace. Now Jakarta has increasingly jammed, with the entrance of the presidential entourage procession procession, then the congestion will become worse. Give a good impression to the people, including bodyguards taught to be nice to people. In 2014, it had not become president again.''(rainbowdiplomacy.com)

Military involved to Politics = Time Bomb

The idea to involve the return of military (TNI) to politics and they are given the right to elect and be elected in the general election presented by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY). However, this idea raises a variety of reactions, and certainly this idea to the next election can not be implemented. The reaction from the military itself is wait and see. Army''will comply with the rules issued and enforced in this country,''said the TNI Commander General Djoko Susanto, the same thing also delivered the Army Chief of Staff General George Toisutta.

The military has been more than 10 years, after this country out of the reform of politics, they no longer have representation in the House of Representatives (DPR) as an active military, and this country has experienced a bad situation when the military was given the position in Parliament, military become a tool ruler for 30 years are more supportive of government repression of Suharto.

''I do not understand why the military want to be drawn back into politics, what is not enough bitter experience of the state and this nation is under military rule. We're at the beginning of the reform has been a voluntary exit from politics, business and really become a pure military guarding the security of this country. Why now would be drawn back into politics,''said General (ret.) Wiranto.

General Wiranto, who is also a former military commander Wiranto and also in the era of the military is reorganized to not engage in practical political affairs and no longer engaged in the business. Reform''performed at the TNI has been successful even very successful, and entirely political and business affairs handed over to civilians. So why now would be involved again.''

General Wiranto, who is also Chairman Hanura Political Party (People's Conscience) feel less comfortable with the idea into the military involved in politics. The expected target''was not within one or two elections, and the idea to involve the return of TNI in politics is repeated over again.''

Wiranto said, the name of politics, power and wealth is very seductive and it's very possible to pull back the military into politics, and to run the political machine of course it costs quite a bit, then they will be given concessions in the economic field. This idea is very dangerous''.''

Former chairman of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) Amien Rais, who is also known as reform leaders also expressed strongly disagree with the involvement of active military back in politics. ''It's too dangerous active military involvement in politics, if the New Order era, the era of Soeharto they only support the Soeharto regime and that there is authoritarian rule for 30 years.''

Now, go Amien, with a different era, the era of this nation are learning democracy, and active military, that will be free to choose to support their respective parties, then that will happen is that the military will be divided, not only between forces but between personnel and that private parties will support each of the most likely provide for their welfare. ''This situation will be terrible and would be very prone to conflicts of interest that will eventually be very prone to extraordinary violence.''

However, political observers of the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), Prof. Ikrar Nusa Bhakti of the opinion stated. Military''very legitimate entry into politics, it is the rights of citizens. How many of them, plus military police. The total number of them are not up to one million personnel.''

According to the pledge, at the beginning of this country stood up and only 10 years after the proclamation of independence, the first general pemiihan in 1955 and at that time involving the TNI and the police did not have a problem. ''Even the general election by the time it declared the elections the most democratic and very secure. Why are we afraid to do the same for the next election.''

Democrats as a loyal supporter of SBY is certainly very supportive of this idea. ''It's still a discourse of the president, the House please make discussion, it is necessary or not the military will be involved again in practical politics,''said Chairman Arnas Urbaningrum Democrat.

Political parties are divided in accepting the idea, the new party, among others Hanura and Great Indonesia Movement (grinder) led by former generals, and in the party they also have the former general who became administrator of the party, so do the Democrats. Yudhoyono himself was a former four-star general, and in every party in this country there is a former general who became an active committee of the party.

Former generals in this reform era, and those who still have a lot of potential and fresh thinking involved or even spoken for by political parties to take charge of the party,''Go right ahead as long as they've become punawirawan, they are civilians and have civil rights . But if the active military. Do not, what we have experienced less bitter experience.''

According to Amien, who is also very dangerous is the former generals who have influence in the active military, and he has the strength and economic influence, and they affect the active military to illegally support the policy and political maneuvering.

Active military into politics, and if it's really done, said Amien Rais, this is very scary. Look at the local elections, those who lose or are not satisfied with the results of the election and then take action anarchy, now that the military element is active and involved in what happened no more terrifying, they will be itching to use its military capability, even mandate that guns be used in accordance rules.

Long before, a variety of physical conflict between the forces, particularly police and army often happens, and it is often triggered only by a trivial issue, falling casualties on both sides, open warfare with the use of weapons they have done, and the result was terrible, and so on when military personnel personally involved small problem with the civil parties, the conduct of military retaliation by using the unit and also the weapon.

''I can not imagine. If the current situation, it is very prone to conflict and then drawn into the military in politics again, and they provide support to their respective political parties, then that will happen is incredible cleavage. Think wisely before involving the military into politics again, consider the advantages and disadvantages,''said Amien.

Involve active military into politics, as well as providing fuel to the fire, and it would be very out of control, and then will generate a very repressive government, and ultimately be very damaging democracy itself,''Countries that democracy has been running well certainly have a strong military and good. The main key to running a democratic government is the people's welfare, and welfare that still seems very far away. But ya do not then involve the military in politics again, this fact alone will add damage,''said Amien. (rainbowdiplomacy.com/photo:www.tniad.mil.id)

Dissolved the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), who was lucky?

In addition to acts of terrorism, which they know the perpetrators are Muslims, or they carry the label of Islam, the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) as a formal organization with a label of Islam is considered very disturbing, even threatening the existence of the unitary Republic of Indonesia. That is what is in the minds of the leadership of the Liberal Islam Network (JIL). FPI is a group of gangs''are labeled "Islamic, act of anarchy and violence in the name of Islam, which is why they should be disbanded as soon as possible, because it is very dangerous to the unity and integrity of the Republic of Indonesia, which have diverse cultures and religions,''said Ulil Abshar Abdallah, one of a leader and also the initiator of the establishment of JIL.

Ulil which also dkenal as young leaders in Indonesia's largest Islamic organization, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and also when it became one of the central leadership of the Democratic Party - said the government party, the FPI is a vigilante organization and very dangerous, as long as possible is dissolved, then disband only. Why, FPI have absolutely no tolerance for others beliefs and this is very dangerous to maintain the unity of the country.

Very harsh reaction from JIL Ulil and also, because of the accusations against the FPI is doing the ejection of three members from the House of Representatives (DPR) from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-F), members of central council, admits to disseminate free health to the public. Whereas previously the council members who did not come from electoral districts in East Java, Banyuwangi intends to make a meeting with former members of the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) or those who sympathize with the PKI.

They call it a victim of the New Order, and one House member from PDI-P named Dr. Rebekah Tjiptaning is the son of the PKI, former members of the party was banned in Indonesia was already quite old, however, remains its ideological militancy. Former PKI members who have voting rights and also their offspring, they vote in elections and presidential elections are also accommodated the F-PDIP, because that is morally and psychological they are close. They often claim as fellow victims of the New Order.

PKI, which failed to make the struggle for power in 1965 and also led to casualties, both on the part of the PKI and the Islamic parties, especially from among the NU. But with changing times and the sympathizers of the former PKI they are very close to NU. By tradition between FPI and NU were very close, both are very identical religious rituals, however, for cases in Banyuwangi and also the previous case at the time of the NU leader Abdurrachman Wahid (Gus Dur) is still alive among the leadership of the FPI and Gus Dur is always colored by tension.
The tension continues, especially after the leadership of NU, KH Hasyim Muzadi, chairman of the Big Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) today KH Said Agyyl Siradj and also several figures who became known more liberal main board, even openly reject imposed Sharia law.

NU attitudes like this that strengthens FPI tension with one of them Islamic organizations that require the application of Islamic law in Indonesia. This tension dimafaatkan well by those youth who have a liberal NU and so far known to be very close to the west and western thought, they include Ulil Abshar Abdallah, Lufie A Syaukani, even the vice-chairman of NU As'ad Said Ali, who is also vice Chairman of the State Intelligence Agency (NIA) said,''FPI as an organization defending the name of Islam is questionable. Islam where they stand. So far they do acts of violence.''

By As'ad, good organization is based organizations that have international certification, they must be useful, not even to spread fear and insecurity. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono at the opening of Congress also spoke of the Muhammadiyah Islamic organization that brings peace, as well as former Vice President Yusuf Kalla regret very much what the organization is labeled "Islamic", but commit acts of violence.

All of which is expressed in the disputed by the Chairman of the FPI, Habib Rizieq that FPI is not doing violence, violence that had to happen was because of the reaction. ''We do not act as if the law officers, before we do any activity we have reported to the security forces, because there was no response from them, then what we ourselves must be made to prevent and to intervene before damage occurs is greater,''said Habib .

FPI, Habib details, never committed a reaction to other religions, other cultures, other people or activities organisasasi or other groups outside of Islam, as long as they do not interfere with or contaminate the Islamic Ummah, that's fine it's their business.

''For the case in Banyuwangi. Not only from the FPI will be from other organizations also feel disturbed, those who have been admitted as a member of the council conduct illegal activities, they collect the former PKI members, communists, so what are they? Once discovered they claimed to have been conducting free medical socialization. Local officials and local security forces also do not know and deliberately not informed, there is a reaction after they took refuge in the name of human rights,''said Habib.

Habib said the bitter experience in 1965 when they made a strong PKI massacres by religious leaders, particularly the Muslim Ulama, and now they seek refuge under the right to express their opinions, rights, and democracy, and they receive support from liberal circles, especially those who have orientation of western thought, and foolish again those which support zionism in the name of freedom of opinion. Between''of communism, the Liberal Islam Network and also synergize zionism and they have the same target, the FPI should be dissolved.''

For the West, Habib said, after the completion of the cold war and communism lose, then their main enemy is Islam, and ironically in Indonesia, they can do a synergy with the former communists to jointly destroy Islam. Even if the FPI''formal organization may be dissolved, but the attitudes and beliefs of Islam would not have disbanded. Islam has a clear stance against any damage to the Islamic religion, because that's why we so refuse and abjure Ahmadiyya. Their activities destroy Islam, which is why they must be resisted.''

Ideology of communism, says Habib, in countries like Indonesia that poverty is still very dominant will also thrive, they are getting smart to do the movements and activities, they engage in infiltration and a ride on the activities of humanitarian and social nature, they use mass media for This gives the wind and the support that they are the group that diparlakukan unjust, and Islam is synonymous with violence, as has been done during this FPI, FPI present or absent, the reaction will remain the same. Anyone who intends to destroy''the existence of Islam would have reacted in kind.''(rainbowdiplomacy.com)
