Moslems are not tolerant?

By: Dr. Adian Husaini

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)

SBY is less intelligent look at the situation

By: Yoedi Karyono

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

By: Yoedi Karyono-columnist on www.jayakartanews.com

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

By: Yoedi Karyono

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

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?

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

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)

SBY cancel the Netherlands, Scared?

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?

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)

Being Ciketing Simplified

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

By: Ust H Shihab Abu Deedat FACT team leader - the anti apostasy

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

By: Yoedi Karyono

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.
