Bener.. Saling menghormati dari kedua belah pihak adalah kuncinya. Salam Ramadhan.. http://youtube.com/watch?feature=plpp&v=D3jl-fp_h7s ----- Dari The Jakarta Post I'm a Christian. I have lived for 14 years on Jl. Delima in East Jakarta, a mostly Muslim neighborhood and there is a mosque near my house. There are loud adzan (call to prayer) five times a day and every Thursday, there is a religious gathering called a pengajian. The gathering is also accompanied by loud sermonizing over the mosque's loudspeakers. When Ramadhan begins, the sound of loud voices begins to accumulate, both from the mosque and from people walking around my neighborhood. Sometimes, a man walks through the streets in my area carrying a pan and spoon. He intermittently bangs the pan with the spoon and shouts, "sahur, sahur, sahur" (call to eat). This happens every morning around 3 a.m. This noise often wakes me up, after which time I can't sleep anymore. It's so disturbing for me, but my parents always tell me to not be angry with them. "It's only once a year. We must respect them and their religion," my mom says. So, I try to calm my emotions. Muslims fast from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m. After that, they are allowed to eat and drink. During Ramadhan, there are so many kinds of bazaars and vendors of soft drinks, food and clothes in stalls all along the road. The road often becomes so crowded it causes traffic jams. However, I must still remember what my mom said, "It's only once a year". At first, it was not easy for me to stay calm. But later, I realized that they are different from me but we live in Indonesia, a democratic country. So, I tried to understand the differences between us, which are not only religious or ethnic. Later, I grew accustomed to the differences and now, I do not get as annoyed as I did before. I came to realize that they were just doing what they believed, although I hadn't appreciated that at the time. Now, I'm 19 years old and I must be mature in facing the differences. On the last day of Ramadhan, many Muslims cook a variety of dishes, such as ketupat sayur (rice cake inside coconut leaves), ayam opor (chicken cooked with coconut milk), kentang balado (potatoes with red chili) and nastar (pineapple cake). Some of our neighbors come to our house bringing some of that foods. This happens every year on the last day of Ramadhan. Now, I have come to savor the month of Ramadhan. I'm so grateful to be one of their neighbors. And every Lebaran, my parents and I visit their houses. That's my tradition every year.
