[wanita-muslimah] Iranian military officers killed in attack: report
http://news.theage.com.au/breaking-news-world/iranian-military-officers-killed-in-attack-report-20091018-h2re.html Iranian military officers killed in attack: report October 18, 2009 - 6:29PM Several senior officers in Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards Corps were killed in an attack early Sunday in the south-eastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan, Fars news agency reported. In this terrorist act, General Nur-Ali Shushtari, deputy commander of the Revolutionary Guards land army, General Mohammad-Zadeh, commander of the Revolutionary Guards in Sistan-Baluchestan province, the Guards' commander for the town of Iranshahr and the commander of the Amir al-Momenin unit died, the news agency reported. It was the biggest strike in recent years on the Revolutionary Guards. Parliamentary speaker Ali Larijani confirmed the officers' death in an announcement to parliament which was broadcast on television. Iran has previously accused shadowy Sunni group Jundallah (Soldiers of God) of launching regular attacks in the province, which borders both Afghanistan and Pakistan. Sistan-Baluchestan is home to a sizeable Baluch minority which adheres to Sunni Islam. Jundallah is strongly opposed to the government of predominantly Shiite Iran. © 2009 AFP [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Maths whiz, gardener and bully: the many sides of bin Laden, family man
http://www.theage.com.au/world/maths-whiz-gardener-and-bully-the-many-sides-of-bin-laden-family-man-20091017-h23m.html Maths whiz, gardener and bully: the many sides of bin Laden, family man BEN FARMER, KABUL October 18, 2009 OSAMA bin Laden's first wife has given a revealing insight into the complex character of the world's most wanted terrorist. Najwa bin Laden has published a memoir claiming he was a contradiction of personality traits. She says he was a disciplinarian who would beat his children for showing too many teeth when they smiled, but maintained a passion for growing sunflowers and driving fast cars. He also banned the use of electrical appliances in his home and tried to toughen up his sons by making them climb desert mountains without water. Details from the home life of the founder of al-Qaeda and purported mastermind of the September 11 attacks have emerged in the book Najwa has written with son Omar, 28. Growing Up Bin Laden charts bin Laden's journey from teenage newlywed to the face of international terrorism, revealing along the way that he was fond of mangoes and the BBC. Alongside details of his domestic life, the memoir portrays a man who became increasingly severe as he was pursued by the Western powers. Najwa married bin Laden when he was 17 and she was 15 and went on to bear seven sons, including Omar, and four daughters. Bin Laden went on to take a total of six wives and kept them in seclusion in spartan homes in Saudi Arabia and Sudan where they were not allowed to use electrical appliances, according to the book, which will be published in Britain next month. In lighter moments his sons admired his horsemanship and he liked to show off his mathematical ability by challenging people to beat his arithmetic with a calculator. Najwa added: ''Osama's favourite undertaking was working the land.'' Omar and his mother left Afghanistan before September 11, 2001 and neither is in contact with Osama bin Laden. Omar married Jane Felix-Browne, a British grandmother, in 2006. They are thought to be living in the Middle East. TELEGRAPH [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Pakistan 'at threat' + State of denial
http://www.theage.com.au/world/pakistan-at-threat-20091017-h23k.html Pakistan 'at threat' ISLAMABAD October 18, 2009 Pakistan says militants threaten the sovereignty of the nation after a twin suicide bombing capped a wave of attacks killing more than 170 people this month. At crisis talks on plotting a course of action, army chief General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani gave a detailed briefing on the national security situation. The military and political leaders condemned the rise in attacks and observed that the militant elements posed ''a serious threat to the sovereignty and integrity of the state''. Chaired by Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, the meeting was attended by leaders of all political parties. It followed an increase in a two-year Taliban and al-Qaeda-linked campaign of suicide bombing and armed assaults in Pakistan. http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2009\10\18\story_18-10-2009_pg3_2 ANALYSIS: State of denial -Dr Hasan-Askari Rizvi Pakistan's political and socially active circles need to come out of their state of denial. Pakistan will not be able to overcome the threat of terrorism unless its political and social elites accept the reality that terrorists have their roots within Pakistan Terrorism is not a new phenomenon in Lahore. There have been several deadly incidents during the last two years. What distinguishes the terrorist attacks on October 15 is the coordinated assault at three different locations belonging to law enforcement agencies. The Lahore incidents are part of the latest series of terrorist attacks that began with the suicide bombing at the UN Food Programme office in Islamabad on October 5, followed by the suicide attack at a marketplace in Peshawar and a daredevil attack on the outer perimeter of the army headquarters in Rawalpindi. On October 15, when attention was focused on Lahore, two attacks took place in Kohat and Peshawar, raising the total number of attacks to five in one day. Never in the past have five attacks taken place in one day in urban areas. On October 16, Peshawar experienced two suicide attacks. The string of terrorist attacks is a reminder of what many people in official and non-official circles tend to deny, that terrorist groups continue to be entrenched not only in the tribal areas but also in the mainland. These groups have a tendency to proliferate and regroup after security agencies take some action against them. The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has claimed responsibility for these attacks, demonstrating that it has overcome the problems associated with leadership transition from Baitullah to Hakimullah Meshud. It has also shown that it has the capacity to strike at any place in Pakistan and at a time of its choosing. This is an attempt to wrest the initiative from the security forces for deciding the venue of confrontation. The TTP wants to deter military action in South Waziristan by building security pressure in cities. These attacks also aim at demoralising security personnel and weakening the confidence of people in Pakistan's civilian and military authorities. If anything, the latest attacks appear to represent a renewed attempt on the part of the Pakistani Taliban and their associates in Punjab to overwhelm Pakistani state authorities. Initially, local Punjab-based groups had limited interaction with the Taliban. The former generally facilitated the suicide bombers as they reached some city on a suicide mission. Their interaction has expanded by now, and is a lot more than just facilitation. Now, Punjab-based groups directly take part in TTP-sponsored attacks. This is expected to make Punjab and other parts of Pakistan more vulnerable to terrorism. There are two broad categories of militant groups in the Punjab: sectarian and Kashmir-oriented groups. Their activities were curtailed as the government banned them and came hard on their activists. The security agencies also stopped facilitating their cross-LoC movement. Some of these groups resurfaced under new nomenclature while the leadership and the hardcore developed linkages with the Taliban because they could get safe haven as well as training for new recruits in the tribal areas. Militant elements linked with various groups are to be found in the southern as well as central regions of Punjab. Some are remnants of old sectarian groups; others defected from parent groups to create new ones that function autonomously. There is no single command directing these groups. They may cooperate with each other or work separately. Some of them undertake joint operations with the Taliban; they also secure new recruits through their connections with local clergy and madrassas. A lot of attention is now focused on Southern Punjab with reference to reported increased involvement of Punjab-based groups. Two factors, hitherto neglected, are mainly responsible for increased religious extremism and pro-militancy trends

http://www.pakobserver.net/200910/18/news/topstories10.asp Illiteracy root cause of terrorism: PM Sharafat Kazmi Islamabad-Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani on Saturday said that education is his government's top priority as illiteracy is the root cause of terrorism. Speaking at the inauguration of upgradation of NUML College in Mianwali to university, the Prime Minister praised PTI Chairman Imran Khan for setting up the institute and said giving access to education is a noble cause as knowledge is power. Degree classes at the university have commenced from Saturday. The Prime Minister also announced 100 scholarships worth 200,000 each, and said it will help the deserving students of Mianwali to get quality education. He said Imran Khan was doing a great service in the field of education in a remote area of Pakistan. Prime Minister Gilani said that the government will strive to give best emoluments to the teachers, who are the builders of the nation, so that they can fully concentrate on educating the future generations of Pakistan. He also lauded the services being rendered by Shaukat Khanum Hospital in Lahore, also set up by the former cricketer. The Prime Minister said that his government is also doing its best to provide health facilities in the country. He recalled that his forefathers were instrumental in setting up educational institutions in Multan and one of such institutes is still considered best in that region.

[wanita-muslimah] China Sees Diminishing Returns With Russia
http://www.moscowtimes.ru/opinion/article/china-sees-diminishing-returns-with-russia/387438.html China Sees Diminishing Returns With Russia 15 October 2009 By Alexander Lukin Prime Minister Vladimir Putin held talks with his Chinese counterpart, Wen Jiabao, in Beijing on Tuesday. An official meeting between the two countries' prime ministers will be held annually under the auspices of Russian-Chinese strategic cooperation and as part of efforts to form a permanent bilateral commission. Issues involving trade and economic cooperation are usually the main focus of these talks. During the latest visit, Putin and Wen signed more than 20 agreements on projects involving bilateral cooperation. A joint communique was signed announcing the start of cooperation on ballistic missiles and missile delivery vehicles, as well as the establishment of cultural centers. There also were agreements on improving customs controls, developing high-speed train lines in Russia and cooperation between Russian and Chinese special economic zones. The results of this visit are extremely important because it is precisely in the area of trade and economic cooperation that the greatest number of problems exist. Since early this year, bilateral trade volumes have dropped by more than 35 percent compared with the same period last year. And although China's trade volume has also dropped with most other countries as a result of the crisis, it is falling at the greatest rate with Russia. The global economic crisis has further aggravated old problems in bilateral trade and economic relations, leading to the current situation. As a result, it is now clear that the goal set by the leaders of both countries to increase the trade volume to $60 billion to $80 billion by 2010 will not be met. The same is true regarding investment targets. It is possible that Russia will drop from being China's eighth-largest trading partner to the 15th or 16th largest, falling behind countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, India, the Netherlands, and possibly Britain, Brazil, Thailand and France. That would further decrease the mutual importance of Russia and China as trading partners. Two additional trends characterize Russian-Chinese trade relations. First, Russia is running a substantial trade deficit that first appeared in 2007. Second, the share of machinery and equipment in Russian exports has dropped sharply. The trade deficit has decreased somewhat during the crisis because of an even sharper decline in Russian imports compared with exports. (Imports fell by 48.2 percent in the first half of 2009, while exports fell by only 24.1 percent over the same period.) Of course, that hardly constitutes a long-term solution to the problem. In this sense, the crisis has only underscored the main problems of Russian-Chinese trade and economic cooperation - problems that were well known beforehand and that analysts pointed out long ago. They include: . Systemic corruption. This problem has spread through all areas of trade, a significant portion of which is carried out by organized criminal groups among the business communities in both countries, as well as by representatives of Russian government agencies such as the border and customs services, the Interior Ministry and regional administrations. In the current system, a significant percentage of all goods crossing the border are never declared, with the result being that both official figures for trade volume and budgetary income from customs fees are correspondingly lower. Russia is battling illegal trade. One measure was the closure in June of Moscow's Cherkizovsky Market - a main retail outlet for contraband goods. However, these measures are insufficient and haphazard. When the authorities shut down one place where contraband goods are sold, traders quickly find another venue for doing business. It would be far more effective to block the transit of contraband goods across the border, but to do that would require an overhaul of the entire Federal Customs Service. . The unfavorable investment climate in Russia. Chinese businesspeople complain about Russia's confusing laws and other regulations, corruption in regional administrations and law enforcement bodies, and underdeveloped infrastructure as evidenced by the lack of decent roads, hotels and even toilets. . The low quality of vehicles produced by the Russian automobile and truck industry that cannot effectively compete against vehicles available to Chinese buyers and made by other countries. . Russian businesspeople's lack of familiarity with the Chinese market and business culture. . The underdeveloped condition and high prices of Russia's tourism services. As a result, the number of Chinese tourists visiting Russia has steadily declined since 2004, while the number of Russian tourists visiting China has increased. Without solutions to these problems, no further development in bilateral trade

[wanita-muslimah] No woman nominee for the cabinet: presidential aide
http://www.tehrantimes.com/index_View.asp?code=205759 Sunday, October 18, 2009 No woman nominee for the cabinet: presidential aide Tehran Times Political Desk TEHRAN - Samareh Hashemi, a senior advisor to the president, said on Sunday that no women will be proposed to the Majlis for the three vacant ministerial posts. The president should name candidates for the ministries of welfare, energy, and education. In September, Iranian MPs endorsed 18 of the 21 nominees proposed for ministerial posts by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. So far two of the nominated ministers have been finalized with the remaining one that is yet to be decided, the presidential advisor said. The names of proposed ministers will be released to the Majlis after lawmakers finish their study of the subsidies bill, he added. For the first time since the Islamic Revolution, women were named as ministers and a designate for the post of health minister won the parliamentary approval. However, the Majlis rejected the nominees for welfare and education ministers, citing lack of qualification. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

[wanita-muslimah] Jordan girl killed for pregnancy outside marriage
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,26227860-12377,00.html Jordan girl killed for pregnancy outside marriage October 18, 2009 Article from: Agence France-Presse A JORDANIAN man was charged today with premeditated murder after allegedly stabbing to death his 22-year-old daughter because she became pregnant outside wedlock, police said. The father and his brother took the girl on Saturday to a doctor because she suffered stomach pains, and everybody was surprised to learn that she was six months pregnant,'' a police spokesman said. On their way home, the father stabbed the girl with a sword 25 times in her stomach, killing her immediately as well as her unborn baby boy.'' The source said the suspect has confessed to the crime following the murder, which took place in the Jordan Valley. His brother was also charged with premeditated murder, while the victim's boyfriend is being held in custody for his own protection,'' he added. Murder is punishable by the death penalty in Jordan but in such cases of the so-called honour killings'' a court usually commutes or reduces sentences, particularly if the victim's family urges leniency. In the past, parliament has refused to institute harsher penalties. Around 15-20 women are murdered each year in Jordan in the name of honour, despite government efforts to fight such crimes. So far this year, 17 cases have been reported. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Arab education is very elementary
http://www.dailystar.com.lb/article.asp?edition_id=10categ_id=5article_id=107578# Copyright (c) 2009 The Daily Star Friday, October 16, 2009 Arab education is very elementary By Raja Kamal Commentary by Many of the Arab countries have been blessed with vast reserves of oil and natural gas that became the dominant engines of the economic change over the past century. That, of course, is the good news. The bad news is that oil and natural gas still constitute the commercial foundation of much of the Arab world. All attempts to achieve economic diversity have failed. If oil and natural gas were excluded from the various economies of what we define as the Arab world, with its 350 million inhabitants, their cumulative gross domestic product would amount to less than that of Finland, a country with a population of little over 5 million. With the exception of a few isolated pockets, the Middle East has failed miserably at catching up with the economic growth seen in most other corners of the world. If it is to turn this around, reforming the educational system-including colleges and universities-should be one of the starting points. Higher education in the Arab world is witnessing fast growth. The recent bold Arab academic expansion reflects a serious attempt by rulers and policymakers to enable their citizenry to catch up with the rest of the world. It is believed that the construction of new colleges and universities would speed up the developmental progress and change. About 100 new colleges have been founded in the Arab world since the early 1990s. Qatar and the United Arab Emirates have established over 40 universities alone during the same period. Mostly are private and the bulk are branches of or associated with American universities. Arab universities have consistently produced graduates who have difficulty finding a place in the increasingly global economy. The last decade has seen an attempt to increase drastically the number of colleges in the Arab world. The latest has been the inauguration of the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). This $12.5 billion institution is being viewed as the catalyst that will start a great educational reversal. Yet, this massive investment - which will make KAUST, on day one, among the richest 10 universities in the world - is a drop in the bucket. Even if successful, KAUST will serve few lucky students while the majority of the Saudi and Arab youths will still be victims of a system that teaches students what to think instead of how to think. Will this massive investment expenditure in higher education pay off? Or, is it just a quick fix to a much deeper and serious problem? In reality, the poor educational system in the Arab world is rooted in poor elementary education systems that are entrenched in religious studies and weak in math, science, and foreign languages. Several international tests reflect the poor performance of Arab students: they consistently score among the worst globally. With poorly trained and underpaid teachers most of whom do not encourage critical thinking, these poor results are not surprising. Although no one will doubt the commitment of Arab leaders to promote and advance education in the Arab world, change must take place at the ministries of education in Riyadh and elsewhere in Arab capitals. Reforming the elementary educational system to strengthen instruction in essential subjects will allow students to succeed and to be prepared for higher education. This is the reform that will train teachers to inspire and motivate students to think instead of the current system that advocates memorization. Each additional hour of religion taught in Arab public schools is one less hour taught in math and science - an hour badly needed to prepare students to be globally competitive. Religion must be diluted in the curriculum and taught after school or on the weekend. Studying religion should not compromise the essential education required to succeed in school and beyond. Tackling the problem should start with the drastic revamping of the early childhood education. This will require bold leadership currently nowhere to be found. As for higher education, very few successful models exist now in the Arab world. The American University of Beirut (AUB) continues to be a unique exception to the norm. It has proven to be resilient and progressive since it's founding in 1866, weathering domestic and regional challenges. Yet, it never steered away from its core mission of preparing students to succeed globally by embracing critical thinking. AUB had the advantage of having a predominantly secular educational system to recruit students from. Arab leaders should look to AUB as a model. No need to reinvent the wheel.

[wanita-muslimah] The 'other' Kurdistan seethes with rage
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/KJ16Ak01.html Oct 16, 2009 The 'other' Kurdistan seethes with rage By Derek Henry Flood IRBIL - The Qandil Mountains in Iraqi Kurdistan have maintained a reputation for relative tranquility and stability in a diagonal belt across northern Iraq while much of the rest of the country has burned with sectarian nihilism and anti-occupation insurgency. Three years ago, the California public relations firm Russo Marsh Rogers launched an advertising campaign entitled The Other Iraq [1] which showed Kurds at peace and thankful for the removal of dictator Saddam Hussein in 2003. The campaign was intended to lure American and British private investment to Iraqi Kurdistan and to let the world know that at least part of the war was an outright success at a time when the Iraqi insurgency was at its worst. All this glossed over the fact that Iraq's Kurds had been operating as a de facto state for quite some time - since the implementation of Operation Northern Watch in the aftermath of the 1991 Gulf War (though this process of democratization was interrupted by the Kurdish civil war of the mid-1990s). Iraqi Kurdistan is a stable statelet that is remarkably secular in its outlook. The area suffers from only the rare suicide attack, and it even has an army of trash trucks providing regular rubbish pick-ups. This unusual serenity is run by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and its President and CEO Massoud Barzani. Indeed, the three KRG governorates of Duhok, Irbil and Sulaimaniyah are for the most part oases of relative calm in Iraq. According to a source in the General Security Directorate, known locally in Kurdish as the Asayish, all of the territory held by the KRG is admittedly not under its control. Very recently, Asia Times Online made a clandestine trip to the notorious Qandil Mountains along the Iraq-Iran border region where the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), from southeastern Turkey, and the Party for a Free Life in Kurdistan (PJAK), from northwestern Iran, control territory. As, over time, the KRG fuses with the once-rival ruling parties, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), and trade increases rapidly with Turkey and, to a lesser degree, with Iran and Syria, the notion of a sovereign Iraqi Kurdish state becomes more plausible while making the fantasy of reunification of Greater Kurdistan much less so. Kurdistan cannot escape its landlocked geography quadrisected in the ashes of World War I. The roughly 35 million ethnic Kurds are the world's largest ethnic group without their own country. Iraqi Kurdistan's ruling politicians and their corresponding corporate interests are now shuttling between the central government in Baghdad and various regional capitals to feel out which way the winds of change are blowing. The Kurds have been caught in a web of wildly varying, intolerant nationalisms for most of the post-Ottoman era from which they have not been able to escape. The most significant of these is Turkey's secular and militarist Kemalism. Mustafa Kemal, known as Ataturk the Father of Turks, replaced the unifying Islam of the dying Ottoman caliphate with so-called Turkishness. Millions of Kurds, in what would become the Turkish Republic, were to be absurdly labeled Mountain Turks. Ataturk insisted on doing away with any cultural practice related to the caliphate, including the tolerance of linguistic and religious minorities under its jurisdiction. The newly created Turkey, forged in 1923, left no room for Kurdishness and Turkey's Kurds began rebelling almost at once. The 1979 Islamic Revolution in neighboring Iran did away with the enforced secularism of the Pahlavi dynasty and enshrined a form of Shi'itism as the state ideology around which the nascent Islamic Republic was formed. The then-new Iranian regime presented itself to the outside world as a pious Persian Shi'ite monolith, leaving little room for Iran's restive, mostly Sunni Kurdish minority. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's unorthodox interpretation of traditional Shi'itism and the creation of the velayat-e-faqih (The rule of the jurisprudent - considered an unwelcome innovation by much of the Shi'ite clerical establishment) left the Kurds of Iran's Kordestan and Western Azerbaijan provinces disaffected even more so. The takeover of Iraq and Syria by Ba'athists in the 1960s led to the rise of a myopic pan-Arabism in Baghdad and Damascus that left no room for the Kurds' distinct language, culture and traditions. The Cold War Arab socialism of the Ba'ath party was, for the Kurds, simply more ethno-chauvinist demagoguery, that, as in Turkey and Iran, was bent on the destruction of their massive stateless nation. One of the only identifying factors that these highly divergent ideologies of Kemalism, Khomenism and Ba'athism had in common was their policy of constant Kurdish

Assalamualaikum wr. wb. Afwan ustadz ana baru pertama ikutan dan baru-baru ini juga baca- baca Eramuslim, jadi mungkin pertanyaan ana sudah ada yang duluan tanya. Tapi ana mohon tolong dijawab secara tuntas. 1. Apa itu Wahabi? Sejarah singkatnya? (Panjang juga boleh) 2. Kalau ada kekurangannya apa? Kalau ada kelebihannya apa? 3. Apakah kita perlu belajar dari mereka atau kita harus mengambil jarak dari mereka? Sekian ustadz... Jazakallah Khoir.. Abu_irham abu_irham at eramuslim.com Jawaban Assalamu 'alaikum warahmatullahi wa barakatuh Istilah Wahabi sebenarnya bukan istilah baku dalam literatur Islam. Dan penisbahan istilah wahabi kepada sebagian umat Islam pun kurang objektif. Meski istilah `wahabi` bila kita runut dari asal, memang mengacu kepada tokoh ulama besar di tanah Arab yang bernama lengkap Syeikh Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab At-Tamimi Al-Najdi (1115-1206 H atau 1703-1791 M). Namun para pendukung dakwah beliau umumnya menolak bila dikatakan bahwa gerakan mereka adalah gerakan wahabiyah. Justru mereka lebih sering menggunakan istilah ahlisunnah wal jamaah atau dakwah salafiyah. Syeikh Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab lahir di 'Uyainah dan belajar Islam dalam mazhab Hanbali. Beliau telah menghafal Al-Qur'an sejak usia 10 tahun. Dakwah beliau banyak disambut ketika beliau datang di Dar`iyah, bahkan beliau dijadikan guru dan dimuliakan oleh penguasa setempat saat yaitu pangeran (amir) Muhammad bin Su`ud yang berkuasa 1139-1179. Oleh amir, dakwah beliau ditegakkan dan akhirnya menjadi semacam gerakan nasional di seluruh wilayah Saudi Arabia hingga hari ini. Pokok Ajaran Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab Sosok Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab menjadi pelopor gerakan ishlah (reformasi). Sosok beliau muncul menjelang masa-masa kemunduran dan kebekuan berpikir pemikiran dunia Islam, yaitu sekitar 3 abad yang lampau atau tepatnya pada abad ke-12 hijriyah. Dakwah ini menyerukan agar aqidah Islam dikembalikan kepada pemurnian arti tauhid dari syirik dengan segala manifestasinya. Sementara fenomena umat saat itu sungguh memilukan. Mereka telah menjadikan kuburan menjadi tempat pemujaan dan meminta kepada selain Allah. Kemusyrikan telah merajalela dan merata di hampir semua penjuru negeri. Bid`ah, khurafat dan takhayyul menjadi makanan sehari-hari. Dukun berkeliaran ke sana ke mari, ramalan-ramalan dari syetan sangat digemari, sihir menjadi aktifitas umat, ilmu ghaib seolah menjadi alternatif untuk menyelesaikan berbagai persoalan dalam kehidupan umat Islam. Syeikh Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab saat itu bangkit mengajak dunia Islam untuk sadar atas kebobrokan aqidah ini. Beliau menulis beberapa risalah untuk menyadarkan masyarakat dari kesalahannya. Salah satunya adalah kitabut-tauhid, yang hingga kini masih menjadi rujukan banyak ulama di bidang aqidah. Dakwah Syeikh Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab ini kemudian melahirkan gerakan umat yang aktif menumpas segala bentuk khurafat, syirik, bid`ah dan beragam hal yang menyeleweng dari ajaran Islam yang asli. Mereka melarang membangun bangunan di atas kuburan, juga mengharamkan untuk menyelimuti kuburan atau memasang lampu di dalamnya. Mereka juga melarang orang meminta kepada kuburan, orang yang sudah mati, dukun, peramal, tukang sihir dan tukang teluh. Mereka juga melarang tawassul dengan menyebut nama orang shaleh seperti kalimat bi jaahirrasul atau keramatnya syeikh Fulan dan Fulan. Dakwah beliau lebih tepat dikatakan sebagai dakwah salafiyah. Dakwah ini telah membangun umat Islam di bidang aqidah yang telah lama jumud (beku) akibat kemunduran aqidah umat. Dakwah beliau sangat memperhatikan pengajaran dan pendidikan umum serta merangsang para ulama dan tokoh untuk kembali membuka literatur kepada buku induk dan maraji` yang mu`tabar, sebelum menerima sebuah pemikiran. Sebenarnya mereka tidak pernah mengharamkan taqlid, namun meminta agar umat ini mau lebih jauh meneliti dan merujuk kembali kepada nash-nash dan dalil dari Kitabullah dan sunnah Rasulullah SAW serta pendapat para ulama salafus shalih. Di antara tokokh ulama salaf yang paling sering mereka jadikan rujukan adalah: a. Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (164-241 H) b. Ibnu Taimiyah (661-728 H) c. Muhammad Ibnul Qayyim Al-Jauziyah (6691-751H) Oleh banyak kalangan, gerakan ini dianggap sebagai pelopor kebangkitan pemikiran di dunia Islam, antara lain gerakan Mahdiyah, Sanusiyah, Pan
[wanita-muslimah] It's racist to suggest Obama didn't deserve Nobel Prize
http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/politics/its-racist-to-suggest-obama-didnt-deserve-nobel-prize-20091015-gxuv.html It's racist to suggest Obama didn't deserve Nobel Prize BOB ELLIS October 15, 2009 Indian artist Sudersan Pattnaik gives final touches to a sand sculpture of Barack Obama at Golden Sea Beach in Puri. Photo: AFP In the first edition of Margaret Mitchell's novel Gone With The Wind Rhett Butler boasts of having shot dead a young black man for looking at a white woman 'the wrong way'. The presumptuous young pup was getting above himself, Rhett explained, 'so I shot him then and there'. Much the same thing happened in US public life last week when Barack Obama accepted the Nobel Peace Prize, and white America howled him down. Too soon, white America said, the presumptuous young pup. He's getting above himself. It was a classic repressed-racist reaction. He's got the presidency, God damn it, what else does he want? An Oscar? An Emmy? A Pulitzer Prize? There was no such response when Al Gore won the Nobel for a single travelling slide show. No one said he hadn't done enough yet, he hadn't saved the world yet. It was sufficient that he wanted to, and spoke well in that cause. The racism attendant on the American response was blatantly evident because nobody mentioned who else should have got it. They emphasised only that he didn't deserve it. He hadn't done anything yet. Nobody said who deserved it more. Partly because it was hard to think of anybody who did. He should just give it back, that's all. He was nominated only 11 days into his presidency. It was far too soon. Glenn Beck said he should 'give it back'. A curious thing to say. The presumption was that he wasn't born before he was president, that he had no life before then. That he hadn't addressed massed crowds in Berlin, promising a better world. That he hadn't electrified America with his oration at the 2004 Convention in Boston, thought by many to be as good as the Gettysburg Address. That he hadn't written a book that changed lives. That he hadn't enthused black America by winning the nomination. That he hadn't astonished the world by being elected President and by the speech he gave that night, a speech some thought as good as 'I Have A Dream'. It was hard to see how Morgan Tsvangarai had done more for world peace by then, or ever; or Hu Jia had. So their names weren't mentioned by Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh or Alexander Downer. Nor was anybody else's. Give it back, they said, give it back. They also seemed to suggest he got the prize 11 days into his presidency, not that he was merely nominated for it that day, along with 200 others. And what he did after that - the ending of torture in US military prisons, the unshackling of travel to Cuba, the abolition of the rockets pointed at Russia, the call for universal nuclear disarmament - had nothing to do with it, nothing to do with his winning it 252 days later. Some would say his speech in Cairo, which did much to pacify a billion Muslims, and win many thousands of angry young men back from jihad and confrontation - was worth a peace prize on its own. But no, he didn't deserve it for all these things, or for any of them. Somebody else did. It was just never established who that was. Never before had being president been thought a precondition for the Nobel Peace Prize. Mother Theresa never held that office, nor Muhammad Yunus, nor Martin Luther King, nor (though he came close) Al Gore. Nelson Mandela got his prize before he was president, and so did Jose Ramos Horta. They got it for inspiring hope, for the audacity of hope they stirred up in their people. Aung San Suu Kyi and the Dalai Lama, it could be said, in their long pilgrimages of eloquent protest and stifled leadership, achieved almost nothing for their people. But they got the peace prize anyway for trying hard, and for speaking wonderfully and for winning foreign hearts to their cause. Barack Obama in the past five years, in the 1872 days of his fame, his candidacy and his presidency, has achieved more for the general good (I draw a deep breath here) than all of them put together. And yet he is being told to give it back, it's such an embarrassment, it devalues the currency, it's corrupt, it's unpleasant, it's a joke, by those media commentators whose trade is encoded racism. He's getting above himself, the uppity mulatto. Or is there some other explanation? Just asking. Source: theage.com.au [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Tradisi Keilmuan Ummat Islam Sebenarnya saya ingin sekali turut berpartisipasi secara pasif, yaitu menguping, dalam seminar yang berlangsung di auditorium Aljibra UMI Kampus Baru, Selasa 12 Oktober 1993, utamanya ingin sekali menguping sajian Nurkhalis Majid. Sayang sekali keinginan menguping itu tidak terlaksana, karena waktunya berimpit dengan kegiatan akademik, yaitu ujian meja mahasiswa. Yang sempat saya berpapasan adalah dengan kendaraan pemakalah Mattulada memakai songkok, suatu penampilan yang agak langka baginya, yang dalam penampilan keseharian biasanya tidak berpeci. Demikian pula perihal kendaraan yang dikendarai oleh sahabat lama saya ini sejak di Sihan Gakko di Nengo dahulu, sayang untuk tidak direkam dalam media cetak. Kendaraan itu tersesat di lapangan parker sebelah Barat. Itu adalah peristiwa langka, tersesat dalam Kampus Baru UMI yang relatif kecil itu pada waktu menuju ke auditorium Aljibra di pingir lapangan parker Timur. Terakhir sekali saya bertatap muka secara langsung dengan Nurkholis Majid dalam permulaan tahun 70-an di Perpustakaan Umum Makassar yang gedungnya sudah dibongkar disulap menjadi hotel di Jalan Kajao (DR) Laliddo, dalam majelis yang sangat terbatas, hanya berjumlah 5 orang: Nurkholis Majid, M.Quraisy Syihab (sekarang Rektor Pascasarjana IAIN Syarif Hidayatullah, tempat Nurkholis Majid menjadi dosen), A.Rahman Rahim (sekarang Koordinator Kopertis, mantan Atase Kebudayaan di Arab Saudi), Halide (sekarang Atase Kebudayaan di Arab Saudi) dan saya sendiri. Yang dibicarakan dalam majelis terbatas itu adalah gagasan sekularisasi Nurkholis yang menghebohkan itu. Sekularisasi Nurkholis Majid menyimpang dari pemahaman yang dianggap mapan, namun Nurkholis pandai berkelit dengan senjata pamungkas: bukan begitu maksud saya. Sekularisasi bukanlah sekularisme, demikian kelit Nurkholis Majid. Tidak ada kesimpulan yang disepakati dalam perbincangan itu, oleh karena saya tetap bertahan, bahwa menduniakan yang dianggap sakral (sekularisasi) dengan pemisahan dunia dengan akhirat (sekularisme), keduanya berasal dari sumber yang sama: Geeft dan den Keizer wat des Keizers is, en Gode wat Gods is (Marcus 12:17), berikanlah kepada Kaisar yang milik Kaisar, dan berikanlah kepada Tuhan apa yang miliknya Tuhan. Dari Marcus (12:17) ini diturunkanlah paradigma sekularisme yang terkenal dalam sejarahnya orang barat: Scheiding tussen staat en kerk, pemisahan atau dikhotomi antara negara dengan gereja.

Six activists of the group managed to escape despite a siege of the house in sector F-8/3. Police raided the house after a tip-off that a large number of the banned outfit's members were huddled in a meeting there to plot acts of subversion in Islamabad. The house is located only a few kilometres from the offices of police high-ups. A heavy contingent of well-equipped policemen and personnel of anti-terrorist squad took part in the raid. Police found some objectionable literature, computers and some other stuff in the house and seized over 15 vehicles, including Sedan cars and sport utility vehicles. According to a senior police officer, the arrested people were booked under the Anti-Terrorism Act and produced in a court of law for further legal action. He said the activists were suspected of helping militants. He said the meeting was being held in a rented house and police were searching for the owner who would also face a legal action.

[wanita-muslimah] Ungovernability of Pakistan
http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2009\10\18\story_18-10-2009_pg3_3 BOOK REVIEW: Ungovernability of Pakistan -by Khaled Ahmed Pakistan in Regional and Global Politics Editor:Rajshree Jetly Routledge 2009; Pp365 Price Rs 845 Indian Available in bookstores in Pakistan One of the suicide-bombers involved in the July 2005 terror attacks in London, Shehzad Tanweer, spent a week at the Manzur ul Islam madrassa in Lahore, run by Jaish-e-Muhammad, during a 2004 visit to Pakistan Amin Saikal, Professor of Political Science and Director of the Centre for Arab and Islamic Studies at the Australian National University, in his paper Musharraf and Pakistan's Crisis, finds that General Pervez Musharraf (retd) turned his back on Pakistan's clients - the Taliban regime and its Al Qaeda allies - and moderated Pakistan's support for cross-border violence in Kashmir to commit himself to a policy free of religious extremism. (p.8) Musharraf publicly backed the Hamid Karzai government in Afghanistan, but privately demanded that Karzai give his ethnic Pashtuns the largest share in the post-Taliban power structure and rid his government of the influence of the Northern Alliance. In September 2006, he went so far as to claim (inaccurately) that in Afghanistan the Pashtuns constituted almost 60 percent of the population and that the Tajiks formed a mere 5-7 percent minority. Historically, the Pashtuns have never accounted for more than 42 percent of the Afghan population, followed by ethnic Tajiks as the second largest group with 25-30 percent of the population and other minorities making up the rest. (p.11) Saikal also finds that Pakistan was not too happy about Afghanistan getting into SAARC and thereafter tried to limit the linkages between Afghanistan, the Central Asian republics and India in order to maintain Pakistan's manoeuvrability as a pivotal actor in the process. (p.14) Most observers have found President Musharraf ambivalent in his policies. This obfuscation, which ultimately led to his downfall, emanated from his incumbency of office inside the Pakistan Army. Selig S Harrison's paper Global Terrorism: US Policy after 9/11 and Its Impact on the Domestic Politics and Foreign Relations of Pakistan, sees Pakistan supporting the Taliban because it didn't want them as enemies and didn't want the Northern Alliance stepping into the power vacuum created after the downfall of the Taliban. (p.26) He notes that two former ISI directors, General Hamid Gul and General Javed Nasir, have remained actively involved with Islamic radical movements linked to Al Qaeda and the Taliban. (p.27) Harrison likewise sees Balochistan as the bastion of the Taliban. Chaman is the main base for the Taliban, and several madrassas in the Pashtunabad slum area of Quetta not only provide the Taliban with ideological training but with extended material help. The rise to power of Islamic groups in the province of Balochistan gave a tremendous boost to the Taliban's efforts to regroup and many of the provincial ministers and members of Parliament belonging to the ruling MMA became actively involved with the Afghan rebels, using the region as their base. Many Pakistanis belonging to the ruling group also joined the Taliban. (p.27) He notes that Jamia Banuria in Karachi, with some 10,000 students enrolled in eight affiliated madrassas, displayed a banner at its main gate urging Muslims to join the Taliban. Some of the other madrassas in the city were used as safe havens by international terrorist networks. When the police raided the Jamia Abu Bakr Islamia Madrassa, after an FBI tip that it harboured Al Qaeda sleeper cells, they found that a student enrolled under the name of Ahmed Mahdi was actually Tun Rusaman Gunawaji, a leading activist of Indonesia's Jemaa Islamiya, which staged the 2002 bombing of a Bali resort, and was a brother of its leader, Hanbali. (p.29) One of the suicide-bombers involved in the July 2005 terror attacks in London, Shehzad Tanweer, spent a week at the Manzur ul Islam madrassa in Lahore, run by Jaish-e-Muhammad, during a 2004 visit to Pakistan. (p.29) Harrison is of the view that the defeat of the Taliban in Afghanistan has led to a disproportionate Tajik influence in the Afghan intelligence, police and military apparatus at the expense of Pashtun interests. (p.34) But he insists that Islamist and secular Pashtuns alike share a common desire to escape from the domination of Islamabad. The Pakhtunistan movement is dormant, but not dead, and its re-emergence cannot be ruled out in the context of the growing instability and disintegrative tendencies in both Pakistan and Afghanistan. (p.35) He delivers himself of the following judgement often seen in his books on Pakistan: If history is a reliable guide, the prospects for the survival of the Pakistani state in its present form, with its existing configuration of constituent ethno-linguistic groups,

Whoever clasps it to their breast will be encircled by a halo of light. If a hundred year old kafir embraces it, the darkness of kufr leaves him to be replaced by a gentle glow……but…..a few days back it was exposed that Islam is of two types: the illuminated Islam and the dark Islam, the modern Islam and the backward Islam! This revelation was made not by any common man but by the President of Pakistan himself! In a BBC program aired the view that the idea of confining women to their houses was absolutely incorrect. He thought that the women staying inside their homes and those wearing the veil outside reflect the backward Islam. He said that some people think that women should be confined to their homes and not step out which was totally wrong. He said, My wife is travelling around. She is very religious but she is very moderate*, A Muslim with his eye on the Book and Sunnah is in a quandary whether to accept the modern Islam or the backward Islam. If he takes the latter, he will be a target for fun, mockery, and ridicule. He will be called a mulla, outdated, fundamentalist, and an enemy to progress. If he accepts the former, where shaking hands with non-mehrams, mixing with the opposite sex, intimate correspondence, free behaviour is all allowed; where it is okay to go in bazaars and markets, clubs, and foreign countries, then the beliefs of the Book and Sunnah slip from he hands and you have to negate the Islam taught by the sahabah-e-kiraam, mufassarin, and muhditheen. In Surah Ahzab, Allah Ta'ala commands the wives of Rasoolullah (sallallahu 'alaihe wasallam), You are not like any of the (other) women: if you do fear ((Allah)), be not too complacent of speech, lest one in whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire: but speak you a speech (that is) just. This command is being given to those chaste and pure hearted women who were not only given the honour of being sahabiyaat but had been through special training as the wives of the Prophet (sallallahu 'alaihe wasallam). Then they were the mothers of the ummah, not only in name and in respect but truly for it was haraam to marry any of them after the demise of Rasoolullah (sallallahu 'alaihe wasallam). Most of the men talking to them were the sahabah who have been accepted by Allah Ta'ala and whose purity has been attested by Him in His Book. Also keep in mind that whatever conversation took place used to be behind a curtain, because the order is, When you ask for something, ask from behind a screen; there is purity of heart for you and for them in this. Think and think again that when the sacred mothers were not allowed to come before chaste persons like the sahabah, not even talk to them in a womanly fashion, then how do you expect the lustful people of the fifteenth century to be allowed to exchange secrets with, shake hands with, or mix freely with someone's daughter or sister? The next ayah of Surah Ahzab commands, And stay quietly in your houses, and make not a dazzling display, like that of the former Times of Ignorance; The Lord of the Worlds is commanding to sit quietly in your homes and not go out except for need, but if this injunction is paralleled with backward Islam, answer me fairly, is it not a clear rebellion of the Command of Allah? Before us is the infested, rotten civilisation of glittering Europe, bemused with which we are rebelling against the Book and Sunnah. Why do we not stop to think that the consequences for following this civilisation will be nothing but the destruction of the family system, termination of contentment, souring of marital life, the ruin of the daughter of Eve, and social mayhem. Why are the followers of this civilisation fed up with it themselves? The fire of egotism, obscenity, and immodesty that they had stoked is burning their own hearts; the wonder is that the followers of Azir are clamouring to jump out of this
[wanita-muslimah] Veiled reasons
http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2009/968/eg7.htm 15 - 21 October 2009 Issue No. 968 Egypt Published in Cairo by AL-AHRAM established in 1875 Veiled reasons The grand sheikh of Al-Azhar stirred troubled waters when he told an 11-year-old pupil at a girls-only school that there was no need for her to cover her face, reports Reem Leila Click to view caption Khaled El-Fiqi captures an exclusive photo of Tantawi asking the student to remove her face veil -- Although the number of women wearing the niqab in Egypt is unknown, it is certainly growing. You need simply to stroll along the street to see that. So when the Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar Mohamed Sayed Tantawi complained that an 11-year-old girl was wearing the niqab inside a girls-only school during a visit to classes on 3 October -- the first day of the new term -- his action was guaranteed to provoke controversy. Some reports allege that he told the girl to remove her face veil after which he asked her what she would have done had she been pretty. In response to the growing furore, Tantawi said in a press conference on 8 October that while he respects women and their freedom to dress in whatever they want, niqab is a tradition and has nothing to do with Islam. He denied allegations that he had told the girl that he was a greater authority on Islam than either her or her parents, or that he had otherwise commented on her appearance. Following Tantawi's lead, the Supreme Council of Al-Azhar decided on 7 October to ban students and teachers in all of its affiliated schools and university hostels from wearing the niqab on the grounds that they are single sex institutions. The Supreme Council of Al-Azhar said that while Al-Azhar does not oppose the niqab, it added that only a minority of Muslim scholars consider it an Islamic obligation and declared its opposition to imprinting the dress code in the minds of girls. On 9 October Minister of Higher Education Hani Hilal declared the niqab would no longer be permitted inside women's hostels at public universities for security reasons. Hilal said that while he would not prevent female students from wearing the niqab inside public universities or classes they could do so only after uncovering their faces on entering university premises so that security guards could check their identities. The decision to ban the niqab inside hostels, he said, followed a number of incidents in which men had been caught entering hostel premises in female guise. I took this decision to protect students who are my responsibility, Hilal said, calling on university presidents to implement the new directive. Both Tantawi and Hilal maintained that females who wish to wear the niqab do so because they do not want to be seen by men, so there is no need for them to cover their faces as long as they are inside classrooms and hostels assigned to females only. Amna Nuseir, professor of Islamic Sharia at Al-Azhar University, supports Tantawi, arguing that niqab is neither a Quranic obligation nor included in Prophetic Sunna. Face-veiled women must remove their niqab for daily prayers, and while performing the hajj and omra rituals. Why, then, one wonders, do they desire to retain it as they go about their daily business? asked Nuseir. Abdel-Moeti Bayoumi, a member of the Islamic Research Centre (IRC), points out that there is nothing to prevent Muslim women from showing their faces and hands. He backed Hilal's assertion that allowing the niqab in academic institutions causes a security dilemma. Muslim Brotherhood MP Hamdi Hassan criticised Tantawi's anti- niqab statements and objected to the allegedly offensive way Tantawi had spoken to the girl. Tantawi's attitude embarrassed the student in front of her classmates. Religious figures should show kindness when advising people. Female students wearing niqab protested against the ban on 7 October in front of a Cairo University hostel. I am a face-veiled student who comes from Tanta governorate. I have no other place to live in. Now that I am banned from staying at the university's hostel, where am I supposed to go? asked Nahla Ibrahim. She said the students had agreed to show their faces to a female security guard at the entrance gates, but none were available. Hoda El-Sayed insisted that putting on a niqab or not is a matter between the individual and God. I am a Muslim female who is seeking greater reward from God. Why do they want to deprive me of this? she asked. The Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights (EIPR) issued a statement defending the right of female students to wear whatever they please. In a statement to the press Hossam Bahgat, chairman of EIPR, said that while the initiative would object to any suggestion that the face veil was
[wanita-muslimah] Of labour and migration
http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2009/968/ec1.htm 15 - 21 October 2009 Issue No. 968 Published in Cairo by AL-AHRAM established in 1875 Of labour and migration The migration of skilled labour can relieve demographic pressures, but it will never be the answer to employment challenges in the region, Sherine Nasr reports on a study released this week and interviews the director of the International Migration Programme of the ILO Click to view caption -- Immediate action is required by governments in Arab Mediterranean countries, including Egypt, to upgrade labour conditions and secure labour migration rights in host countries. This is the message of a comprehensive study entitled, Labour Markets Performance and Migration Flows in Arab Mediterranean Countries: A Regional Perspective, released this week by the European University Institute (EUI). The study, co-financed by the European Commission (EC) and started in January, analysed key labour market determinants of migration flows from eight Arab Mediterranean countries (AMCs), including Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Jordan, Lebanon and Palestine. The study also touched on the impact of outward migration on the labour markets of AMCs, and proposed a series of specific recommendations to improve the design of the EU migration policies towards AMCs. Although scarcity, inaccessibility and inconsistency of data constituted a major problem for researchers, some interesting yet alarming facts about the dynamics of labour markets in AMCs were brought to light. For example, less than one in three people in AMCs have a job. The eight selected countries have shown the lowest female work participation rate, estimated at below 25 per cent against a 42 per cent as the world's average. Four out of five women do not have a job, said Ivan Martin, a senior member of the team that conducted the study, during a conference that was organised this week by the EUI, EC and Cairo University. Estimates are that the working age population of AMCs will increase by 2.5 million persons a year, from 129 million to 154 million between 2010-20. Thus, some 1.5 million additional new jobs a year over the coming 10 years will be required in order to provide employment opportunities for new labour market entrants, said the study. Moving to the labour market performance, the study has underlined that the highest rates of unemployment are found in AMCs. Skill mismatches in labour markets and the poor performance of education systems remain the main problem. Informal employment is the main symptom of labour market distortions, standing at 35 to 55 per cent of non-agricultural employment. The study describes how informal employment depresses wages, hampers the development of human capital and leads to a prevalence of low productivity jobs, and introduces major distortions into the functioning of markets of goods and services, including the operations of foreign investors. However, we still know too little about the working of the informal economy and its impact on economic activity and development prospects in the region, not to mention its interaction with international migration, said Martin. Touching on the issue of wages and productivity, the study also found that real wages are at a very low level in comparison to the EU, though in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Syria and Jordan only a slight divergence of wage levels in relation to those of the EU could be noticed. The low productivity prevailing in AMCs makes it very difficult to improve prospects for the coming years, either for wage increases or for job creation, said the study. The study further charges that current employment policies in AMCs are not equal to the challenges ahead. Labour regulations were found to be rigid and poorly implemented. So migration remains the first choice for many workers, in particular the young ones, according to the study. The study also found that AMC economies are highly dependent on remittances, With Egypt, Morocco and Lebanon amongst the top 20 remittance recipient countries in the world. Ten million AMC citizens are resident in third countries, which represent eight per cent of the working age population. In Egypt and Morocco, migrant labour represents 8.6 per cent of the working age population. An estimated two million persons will be migrating during the period from 2010-20. However, total migration could be tripled during the same period as migration ratios show a clear increasing trend. According to the study, there is evidence that skilled migration is causing shortages of qualified labour in certain sectors, as is the case in Morocco and Tunisia, or a drain on scarce resources, as in Lebanon. In other countries, the migration of skilled labour seems to ease the

Refleksi : Bagaimana denganblue engery yang disaksikan kehebatannya oleh SBY satu atau dua tahun lalu? http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fl20091018x1.html Sunday, Oct. 18, 2009 Horsepower: A Mongolian charges a discarded battery the Fujimura way (above). YASUYUKI FUJIMURA PHOTO Power for all the people By WINIFRED BIRD Special to The Japan Times The all-electric home craze sweeping Japan with its typhoon of talking bathtubs, full-service toilets and flameless kitchens may finally have met its match. Kensuke Fujimura with a non-electric washing machine in his father's collection. YASUYUKI FUJIMURA PHOTO His name is Yasuyuki Fujimura, and he is the founder of Atelier Non-Electric, an inventors' workshop in Tochigi Prefecture. Since 2000, the 65-year-old doctor of engineering has been cooking up designs for water purifiers, dehumidifiers and lighting systems that don't require electricity to run on. He's also been zealously propounding the idea that it's time for people in Japan - and the rest of the world - to rethink their fondness for appliances that offer convenience and comfort at the cost of environmental health and, he says, true happiness. On a crisp morning recently, Fujimura sat in front of a wall of glass windows in his airy living room, gazed out at the one-hectare property where he's lived and worked since 2007, and elaborated on his plans for a Non-Electric Park on his grounds. This, he hopes, will include an electricity-free cafe, a bathhouse fueled by sunlight and firewood, and a passive- solar house. The latter, instead of using active heating and cooling systems, will be designed and sited to let in lots of sunlight in winter but not in summer. I want people to realize that this other option also exists. I want them to see a new culture and a new lifestyle. That's why I came here, says the soft-spoken Fujimura, who is dressed in an earth-tone polo shirt, old work pants and pointy-toed slippers brought back from a trip to take non-electric refrigerators to the vast grasslands of Mongolia. Japan is the world's fourth-largest electricity consumer, generating 29 percent of that power from nuclear plants and 60 percent from oil, natural gas and coal - the last three all major contributors to global warming. Appliances account for more than a third of home electricity consumption and, despite recent improvements in efficiency, home energy use has risen by more than 50 percent since 1973, according to data from the Energy Conservation Center of Japan. But Fujimura insists that's not his primary concern. We should choose what's enjoyable for us. I chose non-electric technology because I like it. The environmental benefits are just a by-product, he says. As if to prove the point, Fujimura smiles constantly as he talks - which, with his white hair and beard, makes him look like a Japanese version of Santa Claus. Behind that jolly appearance, however, lies an unshakable self- confidence and a mind overflowing with ideas that might appear at first glance to be ridiculously simple - but then so completely logical that it seems amazing they weren't put into practice years ago. Take that project in Mongolia, whose roots Fujimura says go back to an episode of millennial reflection that redirected his path in life. Looking back at a century of raging industrial and economic development, and forward to a looming environmental apocalypse, he says he decided in 2000 that his last great goal in life was to offer alternative technologies to developing countries. Chilling out: Yasuyuki Fujimura poses beside one of his non-electric fridges with two young children who live on the vast Mongolian grasslands, and whose lives could be greatly improved thanks to his inventiveness. YASUYUKI FUJIMURA PHOTO In Japan, switching to something slightly less convenient might seem pointless, but in developing countries this technology is extremely meaningful, says Fujimura, adding that he by no means rejects the use of electricity altogether. So, in pursuit of his aim, he went to China and Brazil offering his services as an inventor - but he got no takers. Then in 2003, he was approached with a request from impoverished Mongolian nomads who longed for the televisions, electric lights and fridges that many of their urbanized compatriots now enjoy. On the plains, though, low population density and the people's nomadic lifestyle means a conventional electric system is unfeasible, while solar panels are prohibitively expensive. So Fujimura designed, pro bono, what would become his flagship non-electric device: a simple insulated box buried partway underground and lined with old plastic bottles. The bottles are filled with water, which acts as a sponge to draw heat from items in the box (usually mutton). At night, the outer lid of the box is opened, allowing a black inner lid to radiate stored heat to

[wanita-muslimah] Chomsky banned in Guantanamo
http://blogs.ft.com/rachmanblog/2009/10/chomsky-banned-in-guantanamo/ Chomsky banned in Guantanamo October 14, 2009 1:05pm An interesting little item here, on the banning of the works of Noam Chomsky from the prison library at Guantanamo Bay. One has to wonder about the mentality of the Pentagon lawyer, who was trying to obtain a copy of Chomsky for one of the detainees he is representing. Maybe his job at Guantanamo has led him to entertain all sorts of subversive thoughts? Chomsky predictably interpets the ban on his work as further evidence that the US is slipping towards totalitarianism. But I see it another way. Obama has said that he is banning the use of torture on prisoners at Guantanamo. Subjecting them to the works of Noam Chomsky is clearly incompatible with the torture ban.

[wanita-muslimah] Incoming Indonesian Cabinet Criticized Before It is Announced
http://thejakartaglobe.com/home/incoming-indonesian-cabinet-criticized-before-it-is-announced/336277 October 19, 2009 Ulma Haryanto President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and the Vice President elect Boediono, both left, interview the current Minister of Trade Mari Elka Pangestu for a ministerial position in Yudhoyono's next cabinet. (Reuters Photo) Incoming Indonesian Cabinet Criticized Before It is Announced The president's new cabinet is drawing brickbats from some observers even before it has been named. Arbi Sanit, a political expert from the University of Indonesia, said many of the names being mentioned did not have the backgrounds their positions required. Other say the president is on the right track. Look, he has an overwhelming mandate from the electorate. He needs to be given a chance, said a leading industrialist who declined to be named. Sri Mulyani Indrawati, who is being labeled by investors and business leaders as Yudhoyono's best choice, is expected to retain her position overseeing finance. So far the economic team is a bright spot, with current macroeconomic policies expected to continue. Trade Minister Mari Pangestu is expected to retain her current post. MS Hidayat, the chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), is thought to be taking over the Ministry of Industry. The country's recent combination of political and economic stability has encouraged investors at a time when neighboring countries such as Malaysia and Thailand have taken a beating during the global economic crisis. Indonesia's economic performance has been cited as one key reason for the strong showing by Yudhoyono's Democrat Party in April legislative elections, which paved the way for his victory in the July presidential poll. Meanwhile, the stock market is up more than 80 percent this year and the rupiah is up 18 percent against the dollar. It is one of the Asia's best-performing currencies. However, those facts have not stopped some observers from saying the president may be at risk of relying too heavily on political appointees in his new cabinet. Why would [Yudhoyono] put the rest of his presidential term in the hands of a bunch of politicians when he's already got the support from the majority of the people? Arbi asked. Strategic or important positions should be appointed to professionals instead of politicians. He also labelled the cabinet as too fat, saying 34 ministers was excessive. A fat cabinet is inefficient. It is costly, slow during decision-making and has a low output, Arbi said. He said Yudhoyono was trying to accommodate the interests of as many political parties as possible. Lili Romli, a political expert from the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), also worried that Yudhoyono was pandering to the interests of the political parties to facilitate power sharing and that some of the likely appointments were out of place. Andrinof Chaniago, a political observer from the University of Indonesia, said the cabinet was likely to be filled with political appointees who may not have the appropriate track records and experience. Some of them are former legislators who were not re-elected and became SBY supporters, hoping for seats in the cabinet. The most high profile of candidates in this category is Agung Laksono, the former speaker of the House of Representatives (DPR), who was voted out of office but is tipped to become coordinating minister of people's welfare, replacing Aburizal Bakrie, the new chairman of Golkar.

[wanita-muslimah] Rising Seas Threaten Shanghai, Other Major Cities
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2009/10/18/world/AP-AS-Climate-09-The-Rising-Seas.html?_r=1ref=global-homepagewanted=all Rising Seas Threaten Shanghai, Other Major Cities By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: October 18, 2009 Filed at 2:07 p.m. ET EDITOR'S NOTE -- This is one of an occasional series of stories leading up to December's climate conference in Copenhagen, reporting on the impact, future and responses to climate change -- SHANGHAI (AP) -- This city of 20 million rose from the sea and grew into a modern showcase, with skyscrapers piercing the clouds, atop tidal flats fed by the mighty Yangtze River. Now Shanghai's future depends on finding ways to prevent the same waters from reclaiming it. Global warming and melting glaciers and polar ice sheets are raising sea levels worldwide, leaving tens of millions of people in coastal areas and on low-lying islands vulnerable to flooding and other weather-related catastrophes. Shanghai, altitude roughly 3 meters (10 feet) above sea level, is among dozens of great world cities -- including London, Miami, New York, New Orleans, Mumbai, Cairo, Amsterdam and Tokyo -- threatened by sea levels that now are rising twice as fast as projected just a few years ago, expanding from warmth and meltwater. Estimates of the scale and timing vary, but Stefan Rahmstorf, a respected expert at Germany's Potsdam Institute, expects a 1-meter (3-foot) rise in this century and up to 5 meters (15 feet) over the next 300 years. Chinese cities are among the largest and most threatened. Their huge populations -- the Yangtze River Delta region alone has about 80 million people -- and their rapid growth into giant industrial, financial and shipping centers could mean massive losses from rising sea levels, experts say. The sea is steadily advancing on Shanghai, tainting its freshwater supplies as it turns coastal land and groundwater salty, slowing drainage of the area's heavily polluted flood basin and eating away at the precious delta soils that form the city's foundations. Planners are slow in addressing the threat, in the apparent belief they have time. Instead, Shanghai has thrown its energies into constructing billions of dollars worth of new infrastructure: new ports, bridges, airports, industrial zones, right on the coast. ''By no means will Shanghai be under the sea 50 years from now. It won't be like the 'Day After Tomorrow' scenario,'' says Zheng Hongbo, a geologist who heads the School of Earth Science and Engineering at Nanjing University. ''Scientifically, though, this is a problem whether we like it or not,'' says Zheng, pointing to areas along Shanghai's coast thought to be shrinking due to erosion caused by rising water levels. Chinese legend credits Emperor Yu the Great with taming floods in Neolithic times by dredging new river channels to absorb excess water. In modern times, the city has been sinking for decades, thanks to pumping of groundwater and the construction of thousands of high-rise buildings. Today, Shanghai's engineers are reinforcing flood gates and levees to contain rivers rising due to heavy silting and subsidence. ''We used to play on the river banks and swim in the water when I was growing up. But the river is higher now,'' says Ma Shikang, an engineer overseeing Shanghai's main flood gate, pointing to homes below water level near the city's famed riverfront Bund. Twice daily, the 100-meter (330-foot-wide) barrier, where the city's Suzhou Creek empties into the Huangpu River, is raised and lowered in tandem with the tides and weather, regulating the city's vast labyrinth of canals and creeks. The 5.86-meter (19-foot) high flood gate is built to withstand a one-in-1,000 years tidal surge; the highest modern Shanghai has faced so far was 5.72 meters (nearly 19 feet), during a 1997 typhoon. Levees along the Bund and other major waterways are 6.9 meters (nearly 23 feet) high, providing better protection than in Miami, New York and many other cities. But they still would be swamped if hit by a surge like Hurricane Katrina's 8.5-meter (28-foot) onslaught. Shanghai is considering building still bigger barriers -- like those in London, Venice and the Netherlands -- to fend off potentially disastrous storm surges, most likely at the point 30 kilometers (18 miles) downstream where the deep, muddy Huangpu empties into the Yangtze. Sang Baoliang, deputy director of the Shanghai Flood Control Headquarters, has been to see the Thames Barrier, which protects London, and the Deltaworks series of storm barriers and dams in the Netherlands, where two-thirds of the population lives on land below sea level, much of it reclaimed from the sea. Like many Chinese officials, some of whom deem the topic too sensitive to discuss, Sang is cautious about what China might do. ''We are studying this, but it is extremely complicated,'' said Sang, as shots from surveillance cameras at dozens of flood gates

Kalau kita mengikuti Syariat Taliban...maka semua tubuh dari kepala sampai ujung kaki adalah Aurat. # HMNA: INI berita menarik dari Inggris. Muslim memang harus berani melawan ketidakadilan! Jangan mau terus jadi korban stereotiping! Yvonne Ridley sendiri adalah muslimah mualaf asli Inggris.Ia pernah ditahan pemerintah Taliban di Afghanistan, tapi kemudian di bebaskan. Beberapa waktu lalu, ia menyatakan masuk Islam di Inggris!. Ia mengaku sangat terkesan dengan perlakuan Taliban terhadap tahanan wanita seperti dia! Juga terhadap tahanan lain. Katanya, perlakuan baik itu dilakukan Taliban karena dorongan agamanya. Dari situlah ia merasakan keagungan Islam, yang kemudian membuatnya masuk Islam setelah proses perenungan beberapa tahun. Yvonne Ridley lantas membandingkan perlakuan sadis dan keji biasa, yang dipertontan Amerika Serikat terhadap tahanan perang di Afghanistan, baik yang dibawa ke Guantanamo, maupun ribuan tahanan Taliban yang dibunuh pelan-pelan dalam kontainer di tengah panas matahari, tanpa setetes air pun Ternyata orang-orang TALIBAN yang dituding sebagai fundamentalis dan teroris oleh para teroris sebenarnya itu (AS, Inggris, dan konco2nya), JAUH LEBIH MANUSIAWI DIBANDING AS dan INGGRIS! Yang mau lihat wajah Yvonne Ridley, bisa buka link:= http://www.eramuslim.com/news/int/4486a6ba.htm *** Capture by the Taliban http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yvonne_Ridley Ridley came to prominence in September 2001 when she was captured by the Taliban in Afghanistan whilst working for the Sunday Express, and held hostage for 11 days. She said she was treated with respect during her captivity, and promised to read the Qur'an after her release, and later did, partly to find out why the Taliban treated women as they do. She converted to Islam in the summer of 2003. BBC News point to a popular suggestion that Ridley is a victim of Stockholm Syndrome, in which hostages take the side of the hostage-takers. Ridley rejects this, however, saying that at no time did anyone try to brainwash her. She tells me that, at one point, she was visited by a cleric who asked if she wanted to convert to Islam. She refused but said that she would read the Koran if she ever got out. Indeed she says she was horrible to [her] captors. I spat at them and was rude and refused to eat. It wasn't until I was freed that I became interested in Islam. Ridley is the author of In the Hands of the Taliban: Her Extraordinary Story soon to be re-published by Islam Channel 2006, detailing the 11 days she was held captive by the Taliban; as well as Ticket to Paradise (Dandelion Books, LLC 2003), a novel with fictional characters based on the real backdrop of 9/11. It was written before she converted to Islam and friends say it was never published in the UK because she was too embarrassed by its risque content. She is the presenter of The Agenda, the Islam Channel's politics and current affairs show, broadcast Europe-wide and available for download at the Islam Channel website. She also writes a regular column for the New York-based Daily Muslims and other publications. *** Side lines Emily Wilson Guardian Thursday August 1, 2002 Yvonne Ridley is the burka-clad Express reporter who was captured donkey-riding on the wrong side of the Afghan border shortly before the US bombing began last October. She was banged up for 11 days before being set free by her courteous and respectful Taliban captors. Ridley wrote a few hundred thousand words on the subject in her paper on her return, but it was only in her subsequent book that one really got a sense of how long and truly terrifying those 11 days were, although of course, as she never fails to point out, the Taliban were very polite. And, as a comrade who has read her book points out, nothing very exciting actually happened once she'd been wrestled from her donkey. Now Ridley is converting to Islam. This week she told the BBC that one of the conditions of her release was that she read up on the faith. This she did, and now she is ready to put her drinking days behind her. So, the BBC reporter asked, as a Muslim-to-be, did Ridley have any problems with working for a paper owned by a pornographer? No, replied Ridley, quick as a flash. Meanwhile it's day eight in the Commonwealth Games arena, and the world is waking up to the fact that we need look no further for a substitute for Big Brother. It's on when you get
[wanita-muslimah] Mimpi Calon Menteri
Jawa Pos Sabtu, 17 Oktober 2009 ] Mimpi Calon Menteri Oleh: Arfanda Siregar HINGGA17 Oktober, para pelamar calon menteri Kabinet Indonesia Bersatu jilid II harus terus menghidupkan handphone (HP). Mana tahu, kalau nasib lagi mujur, Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) akan menghubungi pelamar yang pas menjadi pembantunya. Kebiasaan menghidupkan telepon genggam seharusnya berlanjut hingga menjadi menteri. Waktu kerja menteri melayani publik tidak seperti pekerja kantoran yang hanya setengah hari. Stop dreaming, start action, menteri tidak pernah berhenti melayani publik walau saatnya bermimpi, seperti kata seorang ahli motivator. Hanya Mimpi Kebanyakan menteri di negeri ini bagai menara gading, terpisah atau malah memisahkan diri dengan rakyatnya. Jangan terlalu berharap mampu menghubungi HP menteri, sekadar mengetahui nomor HP-nya pun rakyat tidak pernah mendapatkan akses. Menteri-menteri kita itu katanya saja akan bekerja siang dan malam untuk kemakmuran rakyat. Kenyataannya, mereka memperjuangkan kemakmuran diri sendiri dan kroni. Fakta bahwa kehidupan rakyat melarat tidak membuat hati mereka miris. Berbagai kemewahan dan fasilitas berlebih yang didapat, baik legal maupun ilegal, dilahap di tengah-tengah pandangan nanar mata rakyat yang lapar. Empati menteri atas karut-marut kehidupan publik sangat tipis sehingga tidak peduli bahwa tindakan mereka sesungguhnya sangat menyakiti hati rakyat. Lihat saja di jalan. Kalau ada menteri yang melintas, seluruh rakyat pembayar pajak harus menepi dan memberikan jalan kepadanya. Selama lima tahun terakhir ini, mobil menteri tak hanya dikawal moge (motor gede) atau mobil polisi. Di belakang mobil menteri masih ada sebuah jip berlampu sirene besar. Pelayanan kesehatan menteri juga berbeda dengan rakyat. Menteri tidak perlu berdesak-desakan sampai mau menjemput ajal menunggu giliran pelayanan kesehatan. Sekarang SBY begitu bangga dengan program jaminan kesehatan masyarakat miskin (jamkeskin) yang, konon, untuk mendapatkan surat miskin masyarakat sudah kehabisan napas. Sementara itu, setiap menteri di Indonesia mendapatkan layanan kesehatan VVIP, boleh memilih dokter hingga rumah sakit, dalam dan luar negeri. Nilai jaminan yang berdasar Peraturan Menteri Keuangan No 115/PMK.02/2009 mencapai Rp 24 miliar dan dinikmati bersama keluarga. Berbagai keistimewaan yang lain akan menjadi sangat menyakitkan rakyat kalau dibeber satu per satu. Yang pasti, di negeri ini seorang menteri adalah warga negara terhormat yang dibekali berbagai keistimewaan. Dan, bisa saja untuk memperoleh itu mereka mengorbankan hak-hak rakyat. Karena itu, tak usah heran peminat yang kepengin ditelepon SBY membeludak. SBY sendiri terus terang telah menerima ratusan proposal dari mereka yang mengharapkan menjadi bagian dari 34 menteri kabinet mendatang. Proposal ada yang disampaikan lewat atau menelikung partai politik, organisasi masyarakat, atau individu pelamar. Cara penyampaiannya pun beraneka macam. Ada yang langsung kepada SBY, Ibu Negara Ani Yudhoyono, Sekretaris Negara Hatta Rajasa, dan elite Partai Demokrat. Bahkan, orang tua SBY yang renta pun menjadi sasaran para pemburu jabatan menteri. Bukan Sekadar Mainan Padahal, menjadi menteri adalah pengabdian, bukan sekadar mengejar keistimewaan yang kelak didapat sebagai pembantu presiden. Dalam Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia, mengabdi adalah berjanji untuk benar-benar menghambakan diri kepada nusa bangsa atau memperhambakan diri kepada rakyat. Jabatan menteri bukan mainan karena yang dipertaruhkan bukan hanya individu, keluarga, atau kelompok bersangkutan, tapi nasib masyarakat dan bangsa ini ke depan. Cukup sudah cerita bangsa ini terseok-seok karena kepentingan sesaat dan waktunya menatap tantangan dan kepentingan bangsa lebih besar. Orang yang memahami berat dan besarnya tanggung jawab menjadi menteri pasti tidak akan mengocok-ngocokkan diri kepada presiden. Bukan saja tugasnya yang berat, tetapi juga berbagai fasilitas yang bakal diterima sudah melawan kodrat dasar profesi menteri. Yakni, seorang yang bersumpah dan berjanji akan selalu mengabdi kepada bangsa dan negara tanpa perasaan malu menikmati berbagai perlakuan istimewa yang tidak mungkin dirasakan oleh rakyat yang menggajinya. Orang-orang yang konsisten dengan kodrat sebagai pejabat publik bukan tidak ada di sini. Salah seorang di antara mereka adalah Bung Hatta. Suatu hari beliau kepengin membeli sepatu bermerek Bally yang bermutu tinggi. Saat itu dia tidak punya uang. Untuk memendam keinginannya, dia menyimpan guntingan iklan yang memuat alamat penjualnya, lalu berusaha menabung agar bisa membeli sepatu idaman tersebut. Namun, uang tabungan, tampaknya, tidak pernah mencukupi karena selalu terambil untuk keperluan rumah tangga atau untuk membantu kerabat dan handai tolan yang datang kepadanya untuk meminta pertolongan. Hingga akhir hayat Bung Hatta, sepatu Bally idaman tidak pernah terbeli karena
[wanita-muslimah] Revolutionary Guard Commanders Killed in Iran Bomb
http://www.aawsat.com/english/news.asp?section=1id=18511 Revolutionary Guard Commanders Killed in Iran Bomb 18/10/2009 A picture taken on September 21, 2008 shows Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards marching during a military parade in Tehran. (AFP) A picture taken in 2008 shows Iranian General Nur-Ali Shushtari, deputy commander of the Revolutionary Guards ground forces, who was killed in a suicide attack in the Iranian city of Pisheen. (AFP) A picture taken on April 3, 2006 shows special forces of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards participating in military manoeuvers at an undisclosed location near the Gulf. (AFP) TEHRAN, Iran, (AP) - A suicide bomber killed five senior commanders of the elite Revolutionary Guard and at least 15 others in an area of southeastern Iran that has been at the center of a simmering Sunni insurgency, state media reported. The official IRNA news agency said the dead included the deputy commander of the Guard's ground force, Gen. Noor Ali Shooshtari, as well as a chief provincial Guard commander for the area, Rajab Ali Mohammadzadeh. The other dead were Guard members or local tribal leaders. Dozens of others were wounded, the report said. The commanders were inside a car on their way to a meeting with local tribal leaders in the Pishin district near Iran's border with Pakistan when an attacker with explosives blew himself up, IRNA said. Iran's state-owned English language TV channel, Press TV, said there were two simultaneous explosions: one at the meeting and another targeting an additional convoy of Guards on their way to the gathering. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the region in Iran's southeast has been the focus of violent attacks by a militant group from Iran's Sunni Muslim minority called Jundallah, or Soldiers of God, which has waged a low-level insurgency in recent years. The group accuses Iran's Shiite-dominated government of persecution and has carried out attacks against the Revolutionary Guard and Shiite targets in the southeast. That campaign is one of several ethnic and religious small-scale insurgencies in Iran that have fueled sporadic and sometimes deadly attacks in recent years - though none have amounted to a serious threat to the government. The Revolutionary Guard blamed Sunday's attack on what it called the global arrogance, a reference to the United States. The global arrogance, with the provocation of its local mercenaries, targeted the meeting of the Guard with local tribal leaders, said a Guard statement read out on state TV. Iranian officials have often raised concerns that Washington might try to incite members of Iran's many ethnic and religious minorities against the Shiite-led government, which is dominated by ethnic Persians. The Guard commanders targeted Sunday were heading to a meeting with local tribal leaders to promote unity between the Shiite and Sunni Muslim communities. In April, Iran increased security in Sistan-Baluchistan Province, at the center of the tension, by placing it under the command of the Guard, which took over from local police forces. The 120,000-strong Revolutionary Guard controls Iran's missile program and has its own ground, naval and air units. Iran's parliamentary speaker, Ali Larijani, condemned the assassination of the Guard commanders, saying the bombing was aimed at disrupting security in southeastern Iran. We express our condolences for their martyrdom. ... The intention of the terrorists was definitely to disrupt security in Sistan-Baluchistan Province, Larijani told an open session of the parliament broadcast live on state radio. In May, Jundallah took credit for a suicide bombing at a Shiite mosque that killed 25 people in Zahedan, the capital of Iran's Sistan-Baluchistan province, which has witnessed some of Jundallah's worst attacks. Thirteen members of the faction were convicted in the attack and hanged in July. Jundallah is made up of Sunnis from the Baluchi ethnic minority, which can also be found in Pakistan and Afghanistan. The group has carried out bombings, kidnappings and other attacks against Iranian soldiers and other forces in recent years, including a car bombing in February 2007 that killed 11 members of the Revolutionary Guard near Zahedan. Jundallah also claimed responsibility for the December 2006 kidnapping of seven Iranian soldiers in the Zahedan area. It threatened to kill them unless members of the group in Iranian prisons were released. The seven were released a month later, apparently after negotiations through tribal mediators.

[wanita-muslimah] Will Iran Establish Ties with Israel?
http://www.aawsat.com/english/news.asp?section=2id=18519 Will Iran Establish Ties with Israel? 18/10/2009 By Tariq Alhomayed At a time when the world, and our region in particular, is monitoring the possible outcome of the West's negotiations with Iran on its nuclear file- and is waiting to see whether negotiations will lead to a détente or confrontation between the West, or Israel, and Iran- it seems that Russia, a state that is friendly with both Iran and Israel, has a different vision for negotiations that must be completed between Tehran and the West. It is a vision that is based on the principle of there being no winner and no loser! Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who is not known for outlandish statements, said in an interview with the Russia Today television channel, RIA Novosti news agency and the Voice of Russia radio station that he believes that Israel and Iran should strive to restore relations and that there is nothing impossible in that. The Russian FM used Yasser Arafat as an example saying that nobody thought that Israel would discuss anything with him. Savrov also mentioned that during the reign of the Shah [in Iran], Israel offered Iran help to implement its nuclear missile programme and Tehran was supplying Tel Aviv with all the oil it needed. Lavrov added, I do not know when, but I think that normalization of relations [between Israel and Iran] will definitely happen. The most important thing now is to concentrate on the main issues and not to whip up emotions. Nobody needs war. Is this idea really up for discussion? Or are we facing a Russian vision that is aiming [to reach a] settlement between Iran and Israel, as Russia is an important state in a number of respects, especially with regards to the expected sanctions on Iran. In the same interview Lavrov expressed Russia's surprise that Iran was concealing its new nuclear facility in Qom. Perhaps this is an indication of admonition or that Russia wants to say that it does not have a direct link to Iran's new nuclear facility. However, what's important from the above is Lavrov's belief that Israel and Iran could normalize ties and that this will definitely happen even if he does not know when. If Russia really believes that, then what does that mean for us, the Arabs? I consider his comments important and dangerous - even if some people do believe that in reality [normalization of ties between Israel and Iran] will never happen - as this is not some media analysis or some confused dream; these are comments made by the Foreign Minister of a key state that is ally to both Iran and Israel. Moreover, this suggestion confirms that a nuclear Iran is not only a threat to Israel but a threat to the stability and security of the Arab Gulf states. If the Russian Foreign Minister really believes that Israeli-Iranian ties can be established, and that this will definitely happen then the question is why, and for who, is Iran accumulating all these weapons and why is it fighting for its nuclear file? There is a more important question to which there is no answer: is the Russian FM's statement an explanation of what Iran wrote in its letter to the West that it is ready to negotiate on regional issues instead of the nuclear file?

[wanita-muslimah] Saudi Foreign Worker Remittances Soaring: Economist
http://www.aawsat.com/english/news.asp?section=6id=18517 Saudi Foreign Worker Remittances Soaring: Economist 18/10/2009 RIYADH, (AFP) - Remittances from Saudi Arabia's estimated nine million mostly Asian foreign workers are soaring as the kingdom recruits more of them for its massive development plan, an economist said on Saturday. At 18.4 billion dollars last year and 15.0 billion in the first eight months of 2009, earnings sent abroad now equalled four percent of Saudi gross domestic product, John Sfakianakis of Banque Saudi Fransi said, citing government data. Remittances in the January-August 2009 period jumped 12 percent compared with 2008, according to central bank statistics. That was a slowdown from the 26.7 percent pace of 2008 versus 2007, but remarkably strong considering the global economic slowdown, according to Sfakianakis. That's a huge number, he said of the total amount sent out by millions of the mostly Asian and Middle Eastern workers. The reason was more the continued Saudi recruitment of labourers to build the Saudi government's huge slate of infrastructure projects -- new roads, rails, ports, airports, and cities -- that amount to about 400 billion dollars' worth in the five years to 2012. It is more due to the growth in the expatriate force rather than the rise in salaries, Sfakianakis told AFP. But, he added, For any economy it is a concern, if you have four percent of GDP going out. Saudi Arabia was the world's third largest source of foreign worker remittances in 2008 after the United States and Russia -- far larger economies -- according to the World Bank. The Saudi government says around six million foreigners work in the kingdom out of a total population of 26 million. But, said Sfakianakis, the unofficial figure is closer to nine million. With the largest groups Filipinos, Indonesians, Indians, Bangladeshis, Pakstanis, and Middle Easterners, they do jobs from domestic work and construction to manning fire brigades, staffing restaurants and managing top companies. In a report this week, Banque Saudi Fransi -- an affiliate of France's Credit Agricole group -- said Saudi remittances are crucial to several poor economies. Remittances from expatriate workers form a significant source of hard-currency income for oil-importing economies in the Middle East and Asia, such as India, Pakistan and Egypt, it said. Sfakianakis said that as long as Saudi Arabia continues to enjoy high prices for its oil exports, the remittances are not a problem. But, he added, it remains a challenge, with a high unemployment rate among Saudis. It is income that is lost to foreigners that could be in some ways earned by Saudis, he said.

[wanita-muslimah] Polisi Penembak Warga Hingga Tewas Belum Disidang
http://www.mediaindonesia.com/read/2009/10/18/100853/130/101/Polisi-Penembak-Warga-Hingga-Tewas-Belum-Disidang Polisi Penembak Warga Hingga Tewas Belum Disidang Minggu, 18 Oktober 2009 13:20 WIB TIMIKA--MI: Kasus penembakan hingga menewaskan korban Simon Fader yang melibatkan salah seorang anggota Polres Mimika, Bripka AA pada Januari lalu, hingga kini belum disidangkan. Berlarut-larutnya persidangan kasus tersebut karena penyidik Polres Mimika belum dapat melengkapi berkas berita acara pemeriksaan (BAP) tersangka, sebagaimana petunjuk jaksa. Sementara pelaku kasus tersebut, Bripka AA, dilaporkan masih menjalani tugas aktif di bagian Provost Polres Mimika. Kepala Seksi Pidana Umum Kejaksaan Negeri Timika, Febrian mengakui bahwa BAP tersangka Bripka AA yang belum lengkap, telah dikembalikan ke penyidik Polres Mimika. Saya sudah kembalikan BAP-nya beberapa minggu lalu karena ada keterangan saksi yang perlu ditambah, jelas Febrian. Menurut dia, keterangan saksi tambahan tersebut yaitu keterangan saksi ahli dari Polda Papua yang menjelaskan tentang prosedur tetap (protap) dalam menangani massa. Jika penyidik sulit melengkapi keterangan saksi ahli, kami akan minta BAP tersangka dilimpahkan kembali ke kejaksaan supaya kasus ini tidak berlarut-larut, ungkap Febrian. Almarhum Simon Fader tertembak pada bagian perutnya dengan peluru tajam kaliber 5,5 milimeter saat anggota Polsek Mimika Baru dihadang sekelompok massa dari suku Kei di ruas Jalan C Heatubun, Kelurahan Kwamki Baru, Timika. Simon meninggal dunia di RSUD Mimika setelah tiga hari menjalani perawatan. Kematian Simon menyulut amarah warga suku Kei di Kota Timika. Massa menyerang kantor Polsek Mimika Baru dengan senjata tajam berupa parang, panah dan bom molotov. Massa juga membakar pos polisi di Pasar Swadaya Timika dan merusak rambu-rambu lalu lintas di sepanjang ruas Jalan Yos Sudarso. Atas perbuatannya itu, Bripka AA dijerat pasal 340 jo pasal 338 KUHP.

Pelaku teroris Poso, yang beberapa tahun lalu membuat dan meledakkan bom Poso, Nganto Bojel dan Ardin Lawanga alias Upik Lawanga, kini menjadi sasaran utama, selain Dul Matin dan Umar Patek. Dua teroris Poso itu merupakan dua ahli bom anak buah Dr Azahari yang masih buron. Keduanya sampai kini masih diburu ke beberapa lokasi. Selain itu, Densus 88 juga mengejar teroris lainnya, walaupun tingkatannya hanya sebagai orang yang menyembunyikan teroris, seperti Noordin M Top, Dr Azhari, Syaifudin, Syahrir, atau lainnya. Semua yang pernah terkait terorisme tetap kami kejar dan kami tindak, ujar Wakadiv Humas Polri Brigjen Sulistyo Ishak di Jakarta, Minggu (18/10). Dikatakannya, seperti Baridin, mertua Noordin M Top adalah salah satu teroris yang dikejar karena menyembunyikan Noordin M Top. Soal gembong teroris Dul Matin dan Umar Patek, yang dulu adalah teroris sekaliber Noordin M Top, tetap dicari. Namun, dari pengakuan para teroris kelompok Noordin M Top yang tertangkap hidup-hidup, tidak ada nama keduanya terdengar ikut dalam berbagai aksi terorisme mereka, ujar Sulistyo. Umar Patek dan Dul Matin sudah tidak terdengar namanya sejak bom Bali 1 tahun 2002 lalu. Tidak ada yang pernah melihat keduanya. Walaupun begitu, pemerintah Amerika Serikat menyediakan US$10 juta bagi orang yang memberi informasi keberadaannya. Keduanya seperti lenyap ditelan bumi. Ada kabar keduanya tewas di Moro, Philipina.

[wanita-muslimah] Cultural strategy of rural Islam
http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2009/10/17/cultural-strategy-rural-islam.html Cultural strategy of rural Islam M. Hilaly Basya , Leiden | Sat, 10/17/2009 1:11 PM | Opinion Munjid's article Thick Islam and Deep Islam (The Jakarta Post, Aug. 16, 2009) is interesting to discuss. He stated that rural Muslims practice Islam as culture and tradition and this is what he defined as deep Islam. In contrast, he compared them to urban Muslims who perform Islam more as identity (thick Islam). Rural Muslims are successfully uniting Islamic teachings with their local culture and emphasizing the substance of Islam such as human rights, elimination of poverty, injustice, economy, and education. Hilman's article entitled Cosmopolitan Muslims: Urban vs Rural Phenomenon (Oct. 2009) responded to these ideas critically. For Hilman, thick Islam and deep Islam are neither urban nor rural phenomena. I would like to critically explore rural Muslims from a historical perspective. In my view, what has been explained by Munjid about rural Islam is biased. He neglected several important factors that have shaped the outlook of rural Muslims. He directly concluded that pesantrens (Islamic boarding schools) were the determinant factor influencing the practice of rural Islam as a culture. In my view, the form of Islam in rural areas, especially in Java, has been influenced by a complex interaction between political interests, cultural contests and the supremacy of Javanese identity. In the early time of Islamic development in Java, Javanese Muslims still emphasized boundaries between Islam and Javanese traditions. They called on Muslims to abandon local traditions (Ricklefs, 2006). Gradually, the boundaries become unclear. As far as I am concerned, pesantren were not the prominent agency that was obscuring the boundaries. Kings were the actors who played an important role in smudging the boundaries. Sultan Agung, the king of Mataram who lived in the 17th century, was one of the kings that attempted to reconcile Javanese traditions with Islam. He combined the Islamic calendar with the Javanese calendar. On the one hand, it seems that as the king of Mataram in which Javanese customs were strongly held, he needed to appreciate these traditions in order to strengthen his legitimacy. On the other hand, as shown from label as a sultan from Mecca, he had a close relationship with Muslims. In addition, most Javanese elites who are described by Ricklefs as abangan (Javanese elites), disliked Muslims. There are three important books that can be mentioned here: Babad Kedhiri, Suluk Gatholoco, and Serat Dermagandul, which were published in the 18th and 19th centuries. These books depicted abangan's hatred toward Muslims. Babad Kedhiri, for instance, mentioned that Islam is a tragedy for Javanese (2007:189). Suluk Gatholoco stated that Allah is stupid and has no budi (moral values from Buddhism). In addition the book said it was the Budha age that was truly Javanese (2007:195). While Serat Dermagandhul asserted that if you adhere to the religion of the walis (Muslim clerics), you should go far away to Arabia and join people there (2007:198). These books indicate that Islam faced hostile response from Javanese elites. That is why Muslim elites, mostly kings, reconciled Islam and Javanese tradition. Based on these findings, we understand why Wali Songo preached Islam with local culture (Javanese tradition). The main problems faced by rural Muslims were not secularization and modernization, but the supremacy of Javanese traditions. It also indicates that rural Islam needed a long time to be successful. Therefore, the different social political context is one of the important factors influencing the way rural Muslims perform Islam. This is different to what urban Muslims faced. They negotiated Islam with secularism. So far, urban Muslims are divided in various forms. Some of them become fundamentalists. They tried to revive Islam as performed in the early time of Islamic development. They rejected secularism and to some extent modernity as well. Other urban Muslims emphasized spirituality. They attempted to overcome the challenge of alienating secular life. And the rest become progressive-liberal. They are able to negotiate Islam and secularism. Therefore urban Muslims have different characters of Islamic understanding. Compared to urban Muslims, rural Muslims were late to struggle with secularism and modernity, at least, after Indonesian independence. In the 1950s, rural Islam represented by Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) had difficulty with modernity (Clifford Geertz, 1960:162-198). Some younger NU activists often called the members to study secular (modern) disciplines. They were disappointed with conservatism performed by pesantrens that only taught religious subjects such as fiqh, tafsir, and tasawuf. Unfortunately, conservatism and traditionalism were hegemonic
[wanita-muslimah] Washliyah tolak radikalisme agama dalam pendidikan
http://www.poskota.co.id/berita-terkini/2009/10/19/washliyah-tolak-radikalisme-agama-dalam-pendidikan Washliyah tolak radikalisme agama dalam pendidikan Oktober 19, 2009 - 5:45 Kategori Berita Terkini, Nasional MENTENG (Pos Kota) - Aljam`iyatul Washliyah (Al Washliyah) sebagai Ormas Islam, menolak segala bentuk radikalisme yang merusak tatanan agama, masyarakat dan demokrasi bangsa Indonesia. Hal ini terkait dengan isu masuknya pemahaman radikal dalam Pendidikan Agama di sekolah. Secara tegas tokoh Al-Washliyah, di antaranya Ridwan Ibrahim Lubis, Lc, Dr. Abdul Rahman Dahlan, MA, dan Ir. Amran Arifin, MM tidak setuju jika lembaga pendidikan Islam seperti pesantren dan madrasah diidentikkan sebagai sarang terorisme. Penolakan terhadap pikiran radikalisme merupakan hasil diskusi tokoh Al Washliyah, yang digelar di satu hotel di kawasan Menteng, Jakarta Pusat, Minggu (18/10). Selama ini sorotan publik pada dunia pendidikan begitu gencar. Seolah-olah pendidikan agama merupakan titik masalah lahirnya teroris. Menurut Ketua Majelis Pendidikan Al Washliyah, Haris Sambas, kurikulum yang diberikan di sekolah Al Washliyah tidak ada mengajarkan kekerasan. Al Washliyah mendidik siswanya bahwa Agama Islam mengajarkan kasih sayang kepada seluruh makhluk yaitu rahmatan lil 'alamin. Perlu diketahui saat ini Al Washliyah memiliki sekitar 700 sekolah di Indonesia. Terkait dengan pemboman yang dilakukan para teroris, Al Washliyah memutuskan bahwa bom bunuh diri yang dilakukan teroris beberapa waktu lalu di Indonesia merupakan perbuatan sesat dan hukumnya haram. Bom bunuh diri itu bukan mati syahid, tegas Ridwan Ibrahim Lubis dalam pemaparannya. Hingga saat ini menurut Haris, belum ada satu pun siswa atau lulusan sekolah Al Washliyah yang terlibat dalam tindakan kekerasan atas nama agama apalagi menjadi teroris. Selain itu, Haris juga mengajak semua tokoh pendidikan Al-Washliyah untuk berjuang mengembalikan citra Islam, sebagai 'agama yang ramah', bukan 'agama yang marah'. Islam adalah agama yang damai dan mencintai kedamaian. Untuk itu, setiap Muslim harus mampu bersikap ramah kepada umat manusia dan alam sekitarnya. (syamsir) Print This Post Berita Terkait a..

Nabi Muhammad Rasulullah SAW bersabda: -- ALMWaMNYN FY TRAHMHM WTWADHM WT'AATHFHM KMTSL ALJSD ADZA ASYTKY 'ADHWA TDA'AY LH SA^R JSDH BALSHR WALHMY, dibaca: Almu'mini-na fi- tara-humihim watawa-dihim wata'a-thifihim kamatsalil jasadi idzasy taka- 'udhwan tada-'a- lahu sa-iru jasadihi bissahri walhumma, artinya: Para mu'min dalam kasih mengasihi, cinta mencintai, tolong menolong, ibarat tubuh, jika ada salah satu anggota yang terkena luka, seluruh tubuh ikut menderita tidak dapat tidur dan ditimpa demam. [Bukhari, Muslim]. Pemerintahan Thaliban telah dengan ikhlas mendirikan ke-Amiran (Emirate) di negeri Afghanistan, dikeroyok, disingkirkan kemudian ditimpakan pula character assassination. Maka suatu keniscayaan para Mu'minin ikut merasakan pula mushibah pembunuhan karakter itu, dan harus membela Thaliban dari citra sebagai terrorist. Ketika menggali mencari tahu tentang serangan terhadap Thaliban, tanpa sengaja ditemukan informasi dalam laporan indiareacts.com di New Delhi, bertanggal 26 Juni 2001. Tiga bulan, ulangi: tiga bulan, sebelum peristiwa serangan terhadap gedung kembar WTC dan markas Pentagon terjadi. Menurut berita yang diturunkan oleh indiareacts.com tersebut, Sekretaris Jenderal Kementerian Luar Negeri India, Chokila Iyer, menghadiri pertemuan kelompok kerja gabungan Indo-Rusia tentang Afganistan di Moskwa pada waktu Thaliban telah mengontrol 95% wilayah Afghanistan. Para pejabat India mengatakan India akan memainkan peran sebagai fasilitator, sementara AS dan Rusia akan menyerbu Thaliban dari utara dengan dukungan dua negara Asia Tengah, Tajikistan dan Uzbekistan. Tujuannya memukul mundur Thaliban kembali ke garis tahun 1998, 50 kilometer dari Mazar-i-Sharief, sebuah kota di utara Afganistan. Ketika itu AS dan Rusia bersepakat akan melancarkan serangan terbatas terhadap Thaliban bila rumusan sanksi keras di bidang ekonomi yang disarankan kepada Thaliban tidak berhasil menekannya. Menurut laporan edisi Juni 2001 indiareacts.com itu, langkah-langkah diplomatik menghadapi Thaliban dilakukan menyusul pertemuan antara Menlu AS Collin Powell dengan Menlu Rusia Igor Ivanov, dan kemudian antara Powell dengan Menlu India Jaswant Singh di Washington DC. Rusia dan India juga telah bertemu dalam serangkaian diskusi dan setelah itu kegiatan diplomatik kian meningkat. Para perencana militer menegaskan jika Thaliban tidak mendapatkan pukulan yang telak sekarang juga, maka mereka dipastikan akan bisa menerobos lembah Panjsher. Jatuhnya lembah Panjsher akan memungkinkan Thaliban menguasai sisa wilayah Afganistan yang 5 persen yang kini masih dikuasai oleh Aliansi Utara. Thaliban yang menguasai Afganistan, ditengarai oleh Rusia dan India akan membahayakan kepentingan ekonomi India dan Rusia, yang tengah mengembangkan suatu rencana berlingkup luas untuk menyuplai minyak dan gas ke Asia Selatan dan Asia Tenggara melalui India. PBB telah mengirimkan delegasi 12 orang ke India pada minggu pertama bulan Mei 2001 untuk memmbicarakan kelaikan sanksi ekonomi yang cukup keras terhadap Thaliban. Sehubungan dengan hal itu kabinet India memutuskan untuk
[wanita-muslimah] Ketika Api Cinta Meredup
Ketika Api Cinta Meredup By: agussyafii Siang panas terik saya menerima sms teman mengajak ngopi bareng di Citos. Bertemu teman-teman lama ngomongin banyak hal menjadi obat rindu. Perkembangan dunia politik sampai dunia pendidikan yang memprihatinkan juga menjadi bagian perbincangan yang menarik buat kami. Topik pembicaraan menjadi serius ketika salah seorang teman sempat bertanya, 'sebelum menikah, dipelupuk mata saya, wajah yang tercantik adalah istri saya, kenapa tiba-tiba sekarang berubah ya mas?' Mendengar apa yang dikatakannya tanpa sabar kami tertawa. 'Wah, yang berubah istrimu atau dirimu..Bud,' Jawab saya. Andi, diantara kami bertiga, dialah yang paling muda. Wajahnya bersih, berkacamata berkata jujur kepada kami. 'Mas, entah kenapa saya suka berjalan bareng dengan teman perempuan sekantor. Hanya teman untuk curhat mas. Sejak istriku melahirkan, kami jarang berjalan berdua bahkan ngobrol bareng.' tuturnya. Saya katakan padanya, hal itu tidak boleh diteruskan, sekalipun itu hanya ngobrol bareng. Bila cinta keluarga meredup harus dicarikan solusinya. Meredupnya api cinta didalam diri kita berarti 'warning' yang harus disikapi secara serius. Tanda-tanda keterakan biduk rumah tangga tidaklah boleh dibiarkan. Menjaga api asmara untuk keluarga yang kita sayangi memanglah tidak mudah namun juga bukanlah sesuatu yang tidak mungkin. Paling tidak ada tiga hal yang harus dijaga, pertama, gairah. Kedua, keharmonisan. dan ketiga, komitmen. Upaya mempertahankan ketiga hal ini menjadi penting dan juga kemampuan untuk menjaga dan merawatnya. Pertama, Di dalam keluarga membiasakan diri untuk sholat berjamaah. Ada satu hadis Nabi yang menyebutkan bahwa Alloh merahmati istri yang membangunkan suaminya untuk sholat malam. Jika tidak mau maka istrinya memercikkan air diwajah suaminya hingga terbangun. Bahkan kebiasaan Baginda Nabi Muhamad SAW mengajak keluarganya untuk melaksanakan sholat malam. Makna dari ibadah sholat malam berjamaah adalah mencairkan kondisi di dalam keluarga. Seusai sholat alangkah indahnya suami meminta maaf kepada istri tercintanya. atau sebaliknya. Disaat meminta maaf, ungkapkan dengan setulus hati apa yang telah membuat anda kecewa terhadap pasangan hidup anda dan diakhiri dengan berdoa memohon petunjuk Alloh SWT. Kedua, Ekspresikan perasaan kita dalam ucapan maupun tindakan. Ada seorang sahabat Nabi begitu mencintai istrinya. Baginda Nabi memerintahkan untuk menyatakan secara lisan kepada pasangan hidupnya (HR. Daud Tirmidzi), dan menurut riwayatnya, Nabi juga terbiasa dengan istrinya dengan mengucapkan 'aku cinta padamu.' didalam kesehariannya atau memanggil panggilan kesayangan. Panggilan kesayangan akan membuat emosi terjaga. Rasulullah menyapa orang-orang yang disayanginya dengan panggilan sayang. 'Seperti memanggil Aisyah dengan sebutan Humairah (kemerahan). Ketiga, Bertutur lembut. Suara mengekspresikan perasaan. Bila memang maksudnya baik terlontar dengan nada lembut akan mudah dicerna sebagai wujud kasih sayang. Interaksi yang positif didalam keluarga mampu meningkatkan kekebalan tubuh dan mengurangi resiko penyakit jantung maupun kolesterol dengan menjaga hormon stress tetap rendah. Kata-kata yang lembut dan perasaan hangat dapat menjaga pernikahan agar tetap sehat. Dalam sebuah riset kesehatan dampak tutur kata mempengaruhi cortisol pada pasangan suami istri. tetapi perempuan sangat sensitif dengan kata-kata negatif. Cortisol adalah hormon berkaitan dengan stress. Kadar Hormon akan meningkat bila stress terjadi maka bertutur kata yang lembut akan mempererat tali cinta dalam keluarga. Keempat, bagian yang juga tak kalah pentingnya yaitu perbanyaklah sholat malam dan berdoa. hanya Allohlah yang memberkahi sebuah keluarga dengan sakinah, mawaddah, warahmah di dalam diri kita. Oleh sebab itu untuk melanggengkan cinta, tentram dan rahmah di dalam rumah tangga kita adalah dengan sholat dan memohon kepadaNya. Bacalah doa yang diajarkan oleh Baginda Nabi Muhamad SAW setiap selesai sholat fardhu, 'Robbana hablana min azwajina wa durriyatina qurrota a'yun wa jangalna lil muttaqinaa imaman' (Ya Tuhan kami, anugerahkanlah kami pasangan hidup dan keturunan yang menyenangkan hati kami, dan jadikanlah kami pemimpin orang-orang yang bertaqwa). Dan yang terakhir, ada satu doa yang dipanjatkan mudah2an anda masih ingat ketika waktu menjadi pengantin baru. Semoga doa ini menjadikan keberkahan buat keluarga kita semua yang membaca doa ini, amin. 'Ya Alloh, berkahilah kedua mempelai ini. Satukan mereka berdua dalam kebaikan dunia akherat. Jadikan kehidupan mereka berdua baik dan bahagia. kehidupan penuh kasih sayang. Kehidupan Mawaddah wa Rahmah. Kehidupan yang tenang dan sejahtera. kehidupan yang penuh nikmat dan sejahtera. Ya Alloh, jadikanlah mereka berdua termasuk hamba-hambaMua yang mukmin, sholeh, muttaqin, yang berguna bagi Umat Islam dan Kaum Muslimin. Ya Alloh, curahkanlah rahmatMu untuk Baginda Nabi Muhamad SAW,
[wanita-muslimah] Hikmah Jual Beli Secara Angsuran Dalam Ekonomi Islam
By : Alihozi Wahai orang-orang beriman , apabila kalian bermuamalah (jual-beli,utang piutang) tidak secara tunai untuk waktu yang ditentukan, hendaklah kalian menuliskannya (Al-Baqarah :282) Pada masa sekarang ini kita sudah maklum bahwa jual beli secara angsuran telah berkembang dengan pesat dan dilakukan oleh baik individu maupun perusahaan termasuk industri perbankan syariah., dilakukan dengan cara seseorang atau perusahaan tsb membeli sesuatu dari pihak lain lalu menjualnya kembali dengan harga lebih mahal dari harga pembelian tunai kepada masyarakat dan cara pembayarannya mengangsur per bulan s/d jangka waktu yang telah disepakati. Dalam literature kitab fiqih banyak yang memperbolehkan jual beli secara angsuran tsb. Pada kesempatan ini penulis hanya akan sedikit menguraikan hikmah dari mengapa diperbolehkannya jual beli secara angsuran dalam ajaran agama Islam semoga bermanfaat : 1.Selama jual beli secara angsuran tsb sesuai dengan syariat Islam yaitu terpenuhinya rukun dan syarat sahnya jual beli, jangka waktu pembayaran dan jumlah angsurannya diketahui dengan jelas maka jual beli angsuran tsb tidak terdapat gharar, penipuan maupun riba 2.Memudahkan anggota masyarakat yang tidak mampu membeli barang secara tunai untuk memiliki suatu barang yang dibutuhkan. Karena tidak semua orang mampu membeli barang yang dibutuhkan secara tunai. 3.Baik penjual dan pembeli memperoleh kemanfaatan dengan jual beli angsuran yakni penjual dapat memperoleh tambahan keuntungan sedangkan pembeli dapat membayarnya secara mudah /ringan dan sedikit demi sedikit. 4.Penjual diuntungkan dengan bertambahnya harga dan pembeli diuntungkan dengan adanya jangka waktu pembayaran Maha suci Engkau Ya Allah tidak ada ilmu padaku kecuali apa yang telah Engkau ajarkan kepadaku Wallahua'lam Salam Alihozi http://alihozi77.blogspot.com Bagi anda yang ingin mengajukan KPR BMI bisa menghubungi Ali di no Hp:0813-882-364-05 atau email ali.h...@yahoo.co.id , pricingnya kompetitif.

Six activists of the group managed to escape despite a siege of the house in sector F-8/3. Police raided the house after a tip-off that a large number of the banned outfit's members were huddled in a meeting there to plot acts of subversion in Islamabad. The house is located only a few kilometres from the offices of police high-ups. A heavy contingent of well-equipped policemen and personnel of anti-terrorist squad took part in the raid. Police found some objectionable literature, computers and some other stuff in the house and seized over 15 vehicles, including Sedan cars and sport utility vehicles.
