Why Justify Violence with Religion?
The world notices well that there is a connection between violence and the religious
sentiment. Sometimes violence is incited by those who believe in One God of Mercy.
They justify their violence with the Holy Scripture.
Who can control the interpretation of the Holy Koran? The mullahs and the ulemas
cannot control it at all, because there is no system of leadership in Islam which has
an exclusive authority to do that. So, every muslim has right to interpret the Koran
according their own way. Unfortunately, in the several Islamic shool, we can find
easily the educational system which promotes "jihad" against the enemy of Islam. Many
young muslims are educated in this kind of frame work in which the world seems to
consists only with muslims and non muslims.
I hope my impression is wrong about the Indonesian muslims. However, the majority
muslims tend to be silent when there are conflicts between muslims and non muslims.
Very rarely the majori moderate muslims defend the non muslims. They are easily
provoked by the radical groups which usually use violence in demonstration. Is it not
the fertile ground for the seed of terrorism in Indonesia?
I am looking forward the development of the moderate muslims with their human touch
towards their borthers and sisters as the same and equal citizens.
God bless Indonesia!
