To Jepp Sartori:
As I've said before, you're barking up the wrong tree.

The cliche<br>> accusation towards US is its double standard towards<br>> other countries, especially the muslim countries. <br>> <br>> I just want to say that the root of terrorism is non<br>> injustice, but the human attitude of certain people<br>> towards others. When people easily accuses others as<br>> the pagan and "kafirun", then, I think the root of<br>> terrorism is there. <br><br>If I'm moslem, and you're not-muslim, it doesn't mean<br>we have to kill (or terrorize) each other. We're just<br>have different religions...that's all. No more no<br>less. <br><br>> <br>> If we analyse further, the root will be discovered<br>> in the tradition. In the Islamic traditions, the<br>> trace of using violence against the enemy is very<br>> common. <br><br>ENEMY is not people of other faith. Enemies are those<br>who do harm to humanity. If someone want to rob you,<br>to kill you, to rape your sister, etc... you have all<br>the rights to confront them. It's natural and even<br>stated in law (US law, etc.) <br><br>Even in the Islamic school it is still being<br>> taught to hate those who are against Islam. <br><br>In another words, you said, some others hate Islam<br>first and against Islam...<br><br>Even,<br>> sometimes, we can find easily in the muslim<br>> magazines or websites which promote Islam as the<br>> religion of mere obedience. Consequently, the<br>> religious education for this radical muslims is<br>> merely a type of indoctrination. Islam becomes a<br>> religion of fear, and not religion of peace. <br><br>Be specific... what magazines? ... In every religion,<br>in every community, there always parts who are<br>"different" from mainstream... The fact: the biggest<br>Moslem organisations in Indonesia -- with millions<br>members-- are Muhammadiyah (mostly urban) and NU<br>(mostly rural). Both are moderate and nationalist. <br> <br>> The hope of the world on Mr. Yudhoyono's shoulder is<br>> to bring the peaceful image of Islam by uprooting<br>> every kind of terrorism within Indonesia. With the<br>> support of the world, especially US and Australia, I<br>> am sure Mr. Yudhoyono can do this mission. All<br>> Indonesian people should support him in this for the<br>> sake of Indonesia's prosperity. There should not be<br>> compromise in fighting terrorism. Hatred against the<br>> Western countries that is flourishing in the muslim<br>> communities only prolongs the misery for the<br>> Indonesian people, especially those living in the<br>> rural areas.<br>> <br>> Soa, what I would say here is just that the root of<br>> terrorism is not injustice but poverty in all<br>> aspects: in the education, in understanding the<br>> religion and its holy scripture of Koran, in the<br>> economy, and in culture. Don't let this root get<br>> stronger. <br><br>Have you ever heard about "kemiskinan-struktural"? The<br>poverty, lack of education, misery, ...etc is not come<br>from heaven. When you give more money to the richs and<br>give less money to the poors, it's an injustice. It's<br>idelogical, it's by design. When your soldiers occupy<br>other country without their consent, etc... it's<br>injustice....etc... <br><br><br>> <br>> I am sure the Indonesian muslims will develop their<br>> understanding of Islam. With the efforts of Jaringan<br>> Islam Liberal which promotes the peaceful Islam, <br>> the Indonesian muslims will build a new image of<br>> Islam in the world. When religion is more human, it<br>> will become more divine. How can we contradict<br>> ourselves in believing One God while we hate others?<br>> <br>> <br>> God bless Mr. Yudhoyono and the Indonesian people!<br>> <br>> Jepp<br>> <br>> <br>> ---------------------------------<br>> Scopri Mister Yahoo! - il fantatorneo sul calcio di<br>> Yahoo!
