[wanita-muslimah] Iran cancels plan to send ship to Gaza rumba
http://arabnews.com/middleeast/article74066.ece Iran cancels plan to send ship to Gaza By ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: Jun 27, 2010 01:00 Updated: Jun 27, 2010 01:38 TEHRAN: Iran will not be sending a blockade-busting ship to Gaza in defiance of Israeli warnings, an Iranian lawmaker said Saturday, citing Israeli restrictions. Mahmoud Ahmadi Bighash told the semiofficial ISNA news agency that instead of sending a ship, an Iranian delegation of lawmakers would travel to Lebanon and sail on one of the aid ships expected to head to Gaza from there. The Iranian ship called Infants of Gaza had been expected to sail Sunday for Gaza carrying 1,100 tons of relief supplies and 10 pro-Palestinian activists but plans were canceled due to restrictions imposed by the occupying Zionist regime, Bighash said. Iran made the announcement Tuesday prompting Israel to warn its archenemy to drop the plan. Israel considers Iran a threat because of its suspect nuclear program, its long-range missiles and its support for Lebanese and Gaza militants. Israeli security officials said the prospect of an Iranian boat headed for Gaza had Israel deeply worried, and that naval commandos were training for the possibility of taking on a vessel with a suicide bomber on board. After an international outcry over the killing of nine Turkish activists in a May 31 raid on another aid ship, Israel eased its land blockade of Gaza but insisted on maintaining a naval blockade it says is necessary to keep weapons shipments out of the hands of Gaza's Hamas rulers. Israel imposed the blockade after Hamas overran the Palestinian territory in June 2007. In Lebanon, organizers of the ship, Julia, said they plan to sail in the next few days but said they had nothing to with Iran. A second ship will only be transporting women, while a third ship will include parliamentarians from the Middle East and Europe. It is not clear when that ship will sail.

[wanita-muslimah] Membongkar Bungker Teroris
http://www.jawapos.com/halaman/index.php?act=showpagekat=7 [ Sabtu, 26 Juni 2010 ] Membongkar Bungker Teroris Oleh: Anton Tabah DALAM menyongsong Hari Bayangkara Negara 1 Juli 2010, kemungkinan tepat jika kita mengkaji masalah terorime di Indonesia. Ketika penulis diminta berbicara dalam program siaran Rumah Publik yang disiarkan langsung oleh TVRI, ada pertanyaan bertubi-tubi dari pemirsa. Mengapa teroris sulit dibasmi? Pertanyaan itu penting disosialisasikan melalui media massa, membasmi teroris memang sulit. De facto, mereka bukan hanya mampu merekrut kader-kader baru relatif berusia belia usia 18-33 tahun. Tetapi, negara juga tak pernah bisa menyadarkan ''kesalahan'' mereka. Lihat para residivis teroris. Begitu keluar dari penjara, mereka kembali bergabung dengan teroris yang belum tertangkap dan melakukan teror lagi. Penjara tak sanggup memenjarakan mereka karena doktrin agama sulit disadarkan. Tentunya bukan tugas Polri menyelesaikan masalah itu. Tetapi, itu merupakan PR negara secara holistis. Tulisan ini mengkaji varian faktor mengapa teroris sulit dibasmi. Pertama; Sejarah, flash back kapan teroris mulai marak? Setelah Israel semakin angkuh mengobarkan permusuhan dan perang di Timur Tengah. Kedua; Politik standar ganda Amerika Serikat selalu membela Israel dan memusuhi negara-negara Islam, terutama sejak era Presiden George Bush Senior (tahun 1980-an) dilanjutkan era G. Bush Junior (awal 2001). Era Presiden Barak Husen Obama, politik AS merangkul dunia Islam. Namun, residu politik Bush masih membayangi political will Obama. Ketiga; Dari poin pertama dan kedua, lahir perlawanan di mana-mana dengan sasaran sama. Yaitu, menghancurkan kepentingan AS dan sekutunya. Mereka disebut teroris karena cara yang dilakukan, seperti bom bunuh diri, justru membahayakan kemanusiaan secara universal bahwa korbannya bukan sasaran, tetapi siapa saja, bahkan yang tidak ada sangkut pautnya dengan sasaran. Politik Bush cenderung anti-Islam dimanfaatkan kaum teroris menjadi amunisi ampuh memengaruhi umat untuk direkrut menjadi calon-calon teroris (kaderisasi) Keempat; Pasca strategi keras radikal mengubah strategi deradikalisasi. Menyaru sebagai dai menyampaikan ayat-ayat keras dan dahsyat tentang jihad, tentang perang, dan pahala surga di masjid-masjid, di diskusi-diskusi terbatas, bahkan door to door. Kelima; Kemiskinan-pengangguran menjadi constributing faktor pemicu remaja mudah tergiur dogma-dogma keagamaan yang dahsyat (surga neraka). Daripada hidup susah mencari kerja lebih baik jihad untuk mati syahid lebih cepat masuk surga dijemput istri-istri cantik jelita 72 bidadari. Itulah asal munculnya istilah siap untuk menjadi calon manten. Sebab, teroris-teroris remaja yang siap melakukan bom bunuh diri menurut mereka adalah calon-calon pengantin. Keenam; Budaya masyarakat permisif mudah menerima kehadiran orang lain dan tenggang rasa (ewuh pekewuh) dimanfaatkan dengan baik oleh teroris. Ketujuh; Sistem data penduduk manual dengan mudah seseorang memiliki KTP ganda akan mempersulit identifikasi. Hal itu juga memudahkan tersangka melarikan diri ke luar negeri atau ke tempat lain yang mereka mau. Ayat-Ayat Dahsyat Dari tujuh faktor di atas, kini kita bedah faktor yang keempat (4) menggunakan taktik deradikalisasi. Itu artinya kelompok teroris mengubah pola aksi dari radikal keras dengan bom bunuh diri dengan dakwah bilkoul dan dakwah bilhal. Mereka tampil sebagai mubalig dan ustad pada umumnya, tetapi selalu menyelipkan ayat-ayat keras dan dahsyat yang dapat membakar semangat jihad orang-orang yang baru semangat belajar agama dan dangkal pengetahuan keagamaannya. Orang-orang semacam itulah yang sering menjadi sasaran lunak para teroris untuk menjadikan mereka ''calon-calon pengantin'', istilah lain dari pelaku bom bunuh diri atas nama jihad yang keliru atau sesat tadi. Dengan sasaran Amerika yang sudah telanjur terstigma buruk di negara-negara Islam sebagai musuh bersama umat Islam, ayat-ayat dahsyat akan sangat efektif dan komunikatif diterima kaum muda. Lihat kader-kader baru yang direkrut teroris. Ternyata mereka mayoritas berusia 18-30 tahun. Adapun ayat-ayat keras dan dahsyat itu, antara lain, surat Maidah ayat 44 yang artinya begini: ''Barang siapa menghukumi sesuatu tidak dengan hukum Allah, maka dia kafir''. Surat Taubat ayat 38, yang artinya: ''Wahai orang-orang beriman, mengana ketika kamu diperintahkan untuk perang di jalan Allah, kau malah lebih memilih mencari dunia? Apakah kau lebih mencintai dunia ketimbang akhirat, padahal kesenangan dunia itu cuma sebentar dan sangat sedikit, sedangkan kesenangan akhirat abadi selama-lamanya''. Jika seseorang telah terkunci dengan dalil-dalil dahsyat tersebut, semangat mereka untuk mati dalam jihad akan terus membara dan sulit sekali disadarkan. Sebab, mereka telah membuka kitab suci dan menafsirkan ke satu persoalan: Mati sahid. Apa yang penulis kemukakan di kajian ini adalah fakta dari
[wanita-muslimah] A birth control pill for men
http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/finally-a-birth-control-pill-for-men-1.298161 A birth control pill for men By Karin Kloosterman June 23, 2010 By jamming the biochemical machinery of sperm, an Israeli professor has created a new pill that could finally place the responsibility of birth control with men. Biochemist Prof. Haim Breitbart hopes a new birth control pill for men could be on the market in as little as five years. The female birth control pill, commonly referred to as 'The Pill,' is not 100 percent effective, and some women's bodies don't react well to the extra hormones. Now, finally, a new birth control option for men is in the works, which would allow partners to share the responsibility, and let guys be in control of whether or not there will be any surprises in the procreation department. Prof. Haim Breitbart of Israel's Bar-Ilan University authored a breakthrough paper in 2006 describing how sperm survive in the uterus. Now the biochemist is taking those findings and using them against sperm. He's developed a number of novel compounds that have no affect on male sex drive, but succeed in impairing the reproductive ability of the sperm. If all goes according to his plan, a new male birth control pill could be on the market within the next five years, he tells ISRAEL21c. So far, the new pill dubbed the Bright Pill (a play on Brietbart's name) has been tested on animal models in a pre-clinical setting, and has been found to work wonderfully on mice. What we found is that by treating the mice with our molecule we can get sterility for a long period of time; in the lower dose, about one month, and in the higher dose we found three months of sterility. Later on the male mouse can become fertile. It's reversible, he promises. Provided in pill form, but also tested as an injection, the male birth control solution was administered in two treatments over three days: One day on, one day off, one day on. In the larger dose group, it took about a week until the effects manifested themselves, but most importantly, the treatment does not appear to in any way affect the sex drive or the sexual behavior of the mice who received it. The mice behaved nicely, they ate and had sex The mice behaved nicely, Breitbart reports, they ate and had sex; they were laughing, and everything, so all I can say is that we couldn't see any behavioral side-effects - all their sex behavior was retained, which is a very important consideration for human men. A man who takes this pill could also be sexually active later on and have children. Rather than undergo an irreversible vasectomy, a man could sterilize himself for short periods, suggests Breitbart - probably one to three months depending on the dose. And, unlike the female pill, the male pill wouldn't have to be taken every day. Scientifically speaking, the effects of the male pill would be highly specific, meaning men would likely experience fewer side effects than do women who go on the pill. Careful not to reveal any of his trade secrets, Breitbart will divulge that the male pill is based on techniques in bioinformatics and microbiology and shows no sign of attacking any cells other than sperm cells. Referring to the groundbreaking paper that he published in the journal Genes and Development, Breitbart says that the Bright Pill jams the sperm's biochemical machinery. Disproving textbook science, he showed in the seminal paper that mature sperm cells synthesize new proteins in the uterus where they reside for up to three days or longer until fertilization of the egg takes place. We thought that since sperm can survive for three days or even longer, that there is another hypothesis: The sperm should renew their proteins because in order to get energy they need new proteins, he tells ISRAEL21c. In the mature sperm, messenger RNA (mRNA) is produced by DNA in the sperm's nucleus and it is this mRNA, which directs protein synthesis in the sperm, Breitbart's lab showed. In his breakthrough he describes how mitochondrial ribosomes are active in synthesizing nuclei-encoded mRNA proteins. This led to his realization that if he could stop protein synthesis in the sperm, they wouldn't manage to survive in the uterus. The Jewish stamp of approval We thought we could use this method to develop a male contraceptive, Breitbart relates. Sperm are produced in the testes and then move to the epididymus, which is like a holding tank, and there can stay for a few days before encountering a female. If we can use a molecule which will inhibit the synthesis of certain proteins in sperm development, and it will stay in the sperm when it goes directly to the epididymus, we increase its chances for high efficiency. So far we know this works in mice, he says. The Bright Pill would have to be taken a week in advance, which should encourage deliberate, planned, safer sex. And it should be well received by
[wanita-muslimah] Siapa Melindungi TKI?
http://berita.liputan6.com/producer/201006/282639/Siapa.Melindungi.TKI Siapa Melindungi TKI? 21/06/2010 17:03 Departemen Luar Negeri (Deplu) AS dalam laporan tahunan kesepuluh mengenai perdagangan manusia 2010 yang dirilis, Senin 14 Juni 2010, menggolongkan Indonesia di tingkat menengah (Tier-2), dalam masalah human trafficking (perdagangan manusia). Seperti dikutip dari stasiun televisi Voice of America (VOA), 117 negara yang berada dalam laporan setebal 373 halaman tersebut dikelompokkan dalam tiga kategori berdasarkan kinerja kebijakan anti-perdagangan manusia di tiap negara. Secara khusus Utusan Khusus AS Anti Perbudakan Duta Besar Luis CdeBaca, dalam rilis laporan Deplu AS, Senin 14 Juni 2010, menilai akibat lemahnya pengawasan pemerintah, praktek perdagangan manusia merajalela di desa-desa pelosok di Indonesia. Meski laporan itu mencatat ada kemajuan pemerintah dalam menangani praktek perdagangan manusia, secara umum terlihat bahwa peranan Kementrian Negara Tenaga Kerja dan Transmigrasi (Kemenakertrans) dan Badan Nasional Penempatan dan Perlindungan Tenaga Kerja Indonesia (BNP2TKI) tidak optimal dalam mencegah trafficking (perdagangan manusia) ini. Laporan itu juga mencatat perdagangan sosial tidak hanya terjadi di luar negeri melalui pengiriman Tenaga Kerja Indonesia (TKI) tetapi juga di dalam negeri. Lemahnya pengawasan pemerintah berakibat pada merajalelanya praktek rekruitmen TKI non prosedural ke manca Negara. Dalam laporan lain disebutkan bahwa, jumlah perempuan pekerja domestik (pembantu rumah tangga) asal Indonesia di Timur Tengah yang mengalami perkosaan mengalami peningkatan. Ketua Serikat Buruh Migran Indonesia (SBMI) Miftah Farid menilai, carut-marutnya pelayanan TKI akibat dualisme BNP2TKI dan Kemenakertrans menjadi penyebab utama tingginya modus trafficking melalui pengiriman tenaga kerja ke luar negeri. Karena itu, ia menganggap revisi harus dimulai dengan menuntaskan dualisme dengan memberi tupoksi yang jelas antara BNP2TKI dengan Kementrian Tenaga Kerja dan Transmigrasi. Sudah lama dua lembaga pemerintah yang mengurus masalah tenaga kerja ini berselisih perihal wewenang siapa yang berhak menangani TKI yakni BNP2TKI dan Kemenakertrans. Kisruh wewenang dua instansi ini berpengaruh pada pelayanan TKI hingga ke tingkat bawah. Baik BNP2TKI dan Kemenakertrans sama-sama merasa berhak menempatkan TKI. ambil contoh data pemberangkatan TKI pada 2008, BNP2TKI memberangkatkan 175 ribu lebih TKI ke Arab saudi, sedangkan Ditjen Binapenta sebagai unsur dari Kemenakertrans memberangkatkan 234.643 TKI. Ketidak kompakan kedua lembaga ini berimbas kepada penanganan TKI bermasalah, saling lempar tanggung jawab dari keduanya, dan nyaris tidak ada koordinasi menjadi hal-hal yang sering dialami TKI. Sementara jumlah TKI bermasalah setiap tahunnya meningkat. BNP2TKI mencatat dari Januari hingga Juni 2010 jumlah TKI yang bermasalah 25.064 meningkat 41 % diperiode yang sama pada tahun 2009 sebesar 17.793. Arab Saudi adalah negara terbanyak yang memiliki TKI bermasalah, dari Januari-Juni 2010 jumlah TKI bermasalah yang kembali ke tanah air berjumlah 13.559 TKI, dari jumlah ini 1.064 dianiaya majikan, 874 mengalami pelecehan seks, dan 3568 sakit saat bekerja. Melihat jumlah ini, tergambar bagaimana segi kuantitas menjadi prioritas ketimbang kualitas. Tidak menutup kemungkinan, TKI yang bermasalah tidak memenuhi syarat sebagai TKI layaknya, dan hanya bermodalkan stempel pengesahan karena lemahnya pengawasan dari pemerintah. Jika sudah demikian tentunya tidak salah jika Indonesia masuk dalam tingkat menengah (tier2) dalam hal human Trafficking. Pemerintah dalam hal ini Presiden harus segera mengambil keputusan untuk mengakhiri dualisme masalah penanganan TKI, agar permasalahan pengiriman TKI ini tidak berlarut-larut. Jika tidak, siapa yang akan membela para TKI yang dijuluki pahlawan devisa. Sudah menjadi rahasia umum 6 juta TKI yang bekerja di luar menghasilkan dana Trilinan rupiah bagi negara, dan ini menjadi rebutan dan saling klaim siapa yang pantas menanganinya. Masalah lain adalah, keseriusan pengambil kebijakan dalam hal ini pemerintah untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan TKI. Kepala BNP2TKI Jumhur Hidayat bernegosiasi dengan pemerintah Arab saudi untuk menaikan gaji TKI dari 600 real menjadi 800 real, dan hal tersebut berhasil dilaksanakan baru pada tahun 2007. Padahal pemberian gaji TKI sebesar 600 real ditetapkan oleh pemerintah Arab Saudi pada tahun 1970. Bisa dibayangkan berapa puluh tahun pemerintah tidak memperjuangkan gaji para TKI khususnya yang bekerja sebagai pembantu rumah tangga di Arab Saudi. Pemerintah pernah menghentikan pengiriman TKI ke Malaysia akibat tingginya angka kekerasan terhadap mereka, tapi nyatanya juga tidak efektif, karena masih banyak TKI yang masuk ke negara tersebut secara ilegal, dan bahkan masih ada beberapa PJTKI yang mengirim TKI ke Malaysia.

[wanita-muslimah] Indonesia gagal perangi keganasan
http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2010dt=0626pub=Utusan_Malaysiasec=Luar_Negarapg=lu_01.htm Indonesia gagal perangi keganasan JAKARTA 25 Jun - Tidak lama dahulu, Abdullah Sonata merupakan lambang usaha Indonesia untuk memujuk pengganas yang ditahan di dalam penjara agar meninggalkan ideologi keganasan. Dia diberi pelepasan daripada tahanan bagi menghadiri majlis-majlis dan polis membantu membayar bil-bil hospital semasa isterinya melahirkan anak, namun selepas dibebaskan kerana berkelakuan baik setahun yang lalu, Sonata kembali kepada kehidupan lama, sekali gus melonjakkan namanya dalam senarai militan paling dikehendaki Indonesia. Dia ditahan Rabu lalu kerana disyaki merancang serangan ala-Mumbai di Jakarta dan beberapa pembunuhan berprofil tinggi, termasuk ke atas Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Kelakuan Sonata itu menurut pakar, menggariskan kelemahan dalam program pembasmian radikal Indonesia. Tidak seperti Arab Saudi, Malaysia dan Singapura, usaha di Indonesia kebanyakannya dipelopori polis yang memberi tumpuan untuk menjadikan banduan mengutuk keganasan dan menjadi pemberi maklumat. Pegawai memberikan bantuan kewangan untuk membantu banduan dan keluarga mereka, malah kadangkala mengusahakan pembebasan awal, namun tidak banyak yang dilakukan untuk mengubah fahaman radikal agama seperti penubuhan pemerintahan Islam. Kebanyakan mereka yang sepatutnya sudah meninggalkan fahaman radikal masih lagi komited dengan matlamat asal mereka, kata Pengarah Pusat Kajian Keganasan Antarabangsa di Pennsylvania State University, John Horgan. Indonesia yang merupakan negara yang mempunyai penduduk Islam paling ramai di dunia, mengamalkan demokrasi sekular. Ia menjadi barisan hadapan perang ke atas keganasan pada 2002 apabila berlakunya pengeboman yang Bali yang dikaitkan dengan rangkaian al-Qaeda, yang meragut 202 nyawa, kebanyakannya pelancong asing. Terdapat beberapa cerita kejayaan seperti Nasir Abbas, militan yang ada kaitan dengan al-Qaeda yang membantu melatih pengebom Bali. Selepas dibebaskan pada 2004, dia memainkan peranan penting dalam pemburuan dan penangkapan beberapa bekas rakan seperjuangannya, selain ke penjara untuk berdebat dengan banduan bagi mencegah salah faham tentang jihad. Namun, ada juga yang mengecewakan seperti pembuat bom, Bagus Budi Pranoto yang menyertai program pembasmian radikal yang dihukum empat tahun penjara kerana terlibat dalam pengeboman Kedutaan Australia pada 2004 tetapi membantu melancarkan serangan ke atas hotel J.W. Marriott dan Ritz-Carlton tahun lalu, tidak lama selepas dibebaskan. Menjadi rakan kepada musuh mempunyai risiko tersendiri dan beberapa negara lain turut mengalami kegagalan besar seperti program pemulihan Arab Saudi yang memulakan pembasmian keganasan dengan menggalakkan tahanan meninggalkan fahaman pelampau dan integrasi dengan kehidupan awam melalui program kaunseling psikologi, latihan vokasional dan pendidikan agama yang betul. Seorang tahanan Guantanamo yang dibebaskan pada 2007 dan dihantar ke Arab Saudi untuk menyertai program itu, kemudian melarikan diri ke Yemen dan menjadi timbalan komander al-Qaeda di Semenanjung Arab. - AP [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Caracas to take over US-owned rigs
http://english.aljazeera.net/news/americas/2010/06/20106233322782.html Thursday, June 24, 2010 10:04 Mecca time, 07:04 GMT Caracas to take over US-owned rigs Chavez's socialist revolution has led to banking and power assets being nationalised [AFP] Venezuela has said that it will nationalise 11 oil rigs owned by a US company. The takeover of the rigs, owned by the Helmerich and Payne oil firm, is the most recent move in a programme of nationalisation as part of the socialist 'Bolivarian revolution' of Hugo Chavez, the president. The rigs have been out of use for months due to a dispute over payments by PDVSA, the state oil company. Helmerich and Payne, which owns other rigs in the country, had said that it would not work at the sites until they were paid the $49 million it was owed. It did not immediately comment on the planned nationalisation. Rafael Ramirez, the Venezuelan oil minister, said on Thursday that the facilities were being taken over to bring them back into production. 'Weakening government' Ramirez said that firms like Helmerich and Payne who had refused to put their rigs into production were aiming to weaken the government. There is a group of drill owners that has refused to discuss tariffs and services with PDVSA and have preferred to keep this equipment stored for a year, he said. That is the specific case with US multinational Helmerich and Payne. Venezuela has suffered a reduction in oil output since 2008. Despite having significant oil reserves the country is undergoing economic struggles, with power shortages and low food resources affecting Chavez's promises to pull people out of poverty. His government has nationalised telecommunications, power and steel firms during the last three years. The government also nationalised Banco Federal, a mid-sized bank, last week giving the state control of 25 per cent of the banking sector. Legislative elections are to be held in September and Chavez needs to reverse popularity losses due to Venezuela's recession before then Oil-giants such as Halliburton, Schlumberger and Baker Hughes also work in Venezuela, although the former pair have avoided public disputes with the government.

[wanita-muslimah] Women in Pharaonic Egypt
http://www.aawsat.com/english/news.asp?section=7id=21409 Women in Pharaonic Egypt 24/06/2010 By Dr. Zahi Hawass Cairo, Asharq Al-Awsat- When we talk about the grand history of [Egypt] which extends more than fifty centuries into the past, we find ourselves continually speaking about the ancient Egyptian man, whether this is ancient Egyptian engineers who built temples and pyramids, the ancient Egyptian doctors who carried out the first medical operations in human history, or the ancient Egyptian artists who carved huge statues and inscribed hieroglyphics on the walls of temples and tombs. However we rarely find mention of ancient Egyptian women, as if this great civilization was built by men alone, and as if ancient society was comprised solely of men, which of course is something that is completely untrue. Yes, there is a clear injustice regarding how the role that was played by ancient Egyptian women in building this ancient civilization is portrayed in comparison to how the role of men is portrayed; however what is strange is that this injustice is a product of modern research and did not exist within ancient Egyptian society. Women played an important role in ancient Egyptian civilization, and they also enjoyed unparalleled luxury compared to other women at the time, and this is why when I decided to publish a book about the role played by women in Pharaonic Egypt I decided that the best and more accurate title for this would be Silent Images: Women in Pharaonic Egypt. After a long examination of Pharaonic antiquities I discovered that ancient Egyptian women were represented by a number of goddesses, such as the goddess Isis who was the goddess of fertility and worshipped as the ideal mother, the goddess Hathor who personified motherhood and was worshipped as a protector, Sekhmet the warrior goddess, and Bastet the protector goddess. Upper Egypt also worshipped its own patron goddess Nekhbet while Lower Egypt worshipped the patron goddess Wadjet. This represents the religious aspect; however at the political level the wife of the pharaoh also played an important role with regards to the continuation of the royal line, while ancient Egyptian princesses could also politically increase the strength of the ruling family through marriage. Pharaonic Queens bore the burden of rule and raising their young children and teaching them to govern, for example Queen-Consort Ankhesenpepi II the mother of Pharaoh Pepi II ruled in her son's name until he was old enough to take power. Queen Khentkaus II also acted as regent for her two young sons Pharaoh Neferefre and his successor Nyuserre Ini protecting the throne until the latter came of age. Prior to this, historical sources have preserved the name of Queen Nimaethap for the important role she played as regent and for her protection of the throne for her son Pharaoh Djoser the first King of the Third Dynasty. Throughout ancient Egypt's history, the names of just a few ruling Queens have been made known, with the great Queen Hatshepsut - who became a legend amongst ancient women - enjoying the longest and most successful reign. Hatshepsut ruled over an Egyptian golden age during which ancient Egypt was unrivalled in power in the Near East. During a 20-year reign, Queen Hatshepsut protected the borders of her empire, wearing the same royal regalia as worn by male Pharaoh's. She attributed her birth and divine right to rule to the ancient Egyptian god Amun-Ra. Queen Hatshepsut did indeed rule over Egypt, and she was responsible for the construction of a beautiful temple complex [Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut] at Deir al Bahari on the west bank of the Nile. Just one visit to this magnificent temple - which was constructed by a woman - is sufficient for anybody to feel the glory and grandeur of Egypt's past, which is something that fill's one's soul with the conviction that the earth belongs to those who take action, for history does not remember those who don't.

However, later in the discussion he toned down his words and said that he does not encourage violence.

[wanita-muslimah] FPI Bubarkan Sosialisasi Kesehatan Komisi IX DPR
http://www.antaranews.com/berita/1277385567/fpi-bubarkan-sosialisasi-kesehatan-komisi-ix-dpr FPI Bubarkan Sosialisasi Kesehatan Komisi IX DPR Kamis, 24 Juni 2010 20:19 WIB | Peristiwa | Kesehatan | Banyuwangi (ANTARA News) - Front Pembela Islam (FPI) bersama Forum Banyuwangi Cinta Damai dan LSM Gerak membubarkan acara sosialisasi kesehatan gratis yang digelar Komisi IX DPR di salah satu rumah makan di Kelurahan Pakis, Kabupaten Banyuwangi, Jawa Timur, Kamis. Ini ada komunitas anggota PKI (Partai Komunis Indonesia). Kenapa ada di sini? kata Ketua FPI Banyuwangi, Aman Faturahman, kepada sejumlah peserta pertemuan yang terkejut melihat kehadiran anggota FPI itu. Acara sosialisasi kesehatan gratis itu dihadiri Ketua Komisi IX DPR, dr. Ribka Tjiptaning Proletariati dan anggota Komisi IX, Rieke Dyah Ayu Pitaloka. Melihat suasana yang semakin memanas, panitia segera mengevakuasi Ribka dan Rieke ke kantor DPC Partai Demokrasi Indonesia Perjuangan (PDIP) di Jalan Jaksa Agung Suprapto, Banyuwangi. Menurut Ketua FPI Banyuwangi, pertemuan itu merupakan acara temu kangen bekas anggota PKI dan keturunannya, sehingga pertemuan tersebut harus dibubarkan. Sosialisasi kesehatan gratis dari Komisi IX hanya sebagai kedok. Saya curiga acara itu merupakan kegiatan terselubung untuk menumbuhkan semangat komunisme lagi karena banyak peserta dari luar Kabupaten Banyuwangi yang datang, kata Aman. Untuk itu, lanjut dia, FPI bersama organisasi masyarakat Islam di Banyuwangi membubarkan acara tersebut untuk menjaga kondusivitas keamanan di kabupaten paling timur Pulau Jawa itu. Kami mengantisipasi tumbuhnya bibit PKI baru karena gerakan PKI pada tahun 1965 berawal dari Kabupaten Banyuwangi, katanya menambahkan. Sementara itu, Ribka Tjiptaning mengaku kecewa dengan sikap FPI yang membubarkan secara paksa acara sosialisasi kesehatan gratis Komisi IX DPR. Padahal, menurut dia, sosialisasi tersebut sangat diperlukan oleh masyarakat di daerah. Kami tidak melakukan temu kangen bekas anggota atau keturunan PKI di Banyuwangi. Acara kami ini murni tugas Komisi IX DPR tentang sosialisasi pentingnya penyediaan fasilitas kesehatan gratis di daerah, katanya. Penulis buku berjudul Aku Bangga Jadi Anak PKI itu pada 2002 mengaku sudah terbiasa mengalami intimidasi seperti itu. Ini menunjukkan bahwa negara kita belum demokratis sehingga orang lain masih berpikir awam tentang latar belakang saya, katanya. Sementara itu, Rieke menambahkan, kegiatan sosialisasi kesehatan gratis tersebut merupakan kegiatan umum dan bisa dihadiri siapa saja, termasuk bekas anggota atau keturunan PKI. Saya menyayangkan sikap yang dilakukan FPI karena bekas anggota atau keturunan PKI juga warga negara Indonesia, katanya. Wakil Ketua DPC PDIP Kabupaten Banyuwangi, Muhammad Abas, mengatakan undangan yang hadir dalam kegiatan sosialisasi kesehatan gratis tersebut berasal dari berbagai elemen, namun beberapa peserta yang hadir merupakan keturunan keluarga bekas anggota PKI.

http://www.aawsat.com/english/news.asp?section=1id=21397 Jakarta: Trial of Saudi Accused of Financing Terrorist Group Set to Resume 23/06/2010 By Khalid al-Awijan Riyadh, Asharq Al-Awsat - The trial of a Saudi national accused of providing financial support to a terrorist group that carried out twin suicide bomb attacks on luxury hotels in Jakarta last year, resulting in a death toll of seven, is set to resume in the Indonesian capital. Asharq Al-Awsat learnt that Saudi national Ali Abdullah al-Khelaiw, aged 54, is facing criminal charges due to his relationship with one of the terrorists involved in the suicide attack on Jakarta last year, and that the Indonesian authorities believe he is responsible for financing this attack. South Jakarta district court prosecutor Iwan Setiawan called for al-Khelaiw to be imprisoned for a period of no less than 9 years, saying that the Saudi defendant had assisted in providing funds to terrorists and misused immigration documents. Al-Khelaiw denies the charges laid against him, saying that he travelled to Indonesia in order to set up a computer business, and that the money in question was lent by him to an Indonesian business partner for the purpose of setting up an internet café in Jakarta. Saudi Ambassador to Indonesia Abdulrahman al-Khayat spoke to Asharq Al-Awsat via telephone, revealing that the Saudi embassy in Jakarta had provided al-Khelaiw with legal representation, and that an appeal against the charges laid against him is set to be made citing lack of evidence. Al-Khayat also expressed his hopes that this issue would be resolved before al-Khelaiw's trail is over, and before the Indonesian authorities can sentence him to a prison sentence. Al-Khelaiw has been charged with providing assistance and facilities to the terrorists by way of giving or lending money, things, or other wealth to a terrorist group led by Noordin Mohammed Top who was killed by Indonesian police in a raid on a terrorist hideout in central Java September 2009, two months after the 17 July 2009 Jakarta bombings. Al-Khelaiw denies having any knowledge of the attacks that were carried out on the JW Marriott and Ritz Carlton hotels in Jakarta, although the prosecution claims that he provided 54 million rupiah (equivalent to $5,994) to a person named Iwan Herdiansyah, a friend of Syaifuddin Jaelani, who took part in the Jakarta bombings and was killed by Indonesian police on the day of the attacks. Al-Khelaiw admits to meeting Jaelani, although he said that he did not provide him with any money, or have any prior knowledge about the terrorist plot. The Indonesia security forces say that Ali al-Khelaiw's failure to comply with the Indonesian laws of residence, as well as his disregard of the laws surrounding investment in Indonesia, as being weak points in the Saudi national's case. Asharq Al-Awsat also learnt that a meeting took place last week between the Indonesian Justice Minister and the Saudi ambassador to Jakarta, and that the Saudi ambassador failed to secure any promises that the charges against al-Khelaiw would be dropped.

[wanita-muslimah] Keluarga: Ariel Disantet
Refleksi : Apakah koruptor atau teroris tidak pernah disantet, karena mereka kabal ilmu gaib? http://www.antaranews.com/berita/1276772863/keluarga-ariel-disantet Keluarga: Ariel Disantet Kamis, 17 Juni 2010 18:07 WIB | Hiburan | Seleb | Ariel - Luna (ANTARA/Istimewa)Bandung (ANTARA News) - Ditengah santersnya pemberitaan mengenai video mesum yang diduga melibatkan Nazriel Ilham atau Ariel, keluarga Ariel menghembuskan kabar mengejutkan bahwa vokalis grup musik Peterpan itu terkena santet. Sebelumnya saya mohon maaf, karena saya terpaksa berbicara klenik. Beberapa hari lalu, teman Ariel berkata kepada saya dari dalam perut Ariel keluar benda keris, batu, dan lain sebagainya, kata kakak kandung Ariel, Nazlin Fachridzal, kepada wartawan di kediaman Ariel di Jalan Tanjungsari No 58 Kota Bandung, Kamis. Nazlin memperkirakan ada yang iri atau syirik dengan kesuksesan karir adiknya di dunia hiburan, Itu bisa jadi terjadi, tapi kemungkinan memang ada yang iri dan si pelaku ingin merusak citra adik saya sebagai publik figur, katanya. Nazlin mengungkapkan hal itu semata untuk sebatas menginformasikan kepada masyarakat luas tentang keadaan adiknya tersebut. Selama ini banyak pemberitaan yang menyudutkan adik saya. Ya inilah keadaan adik saya sekarang (kena santet). Ini supaya masyarakat tahu kejadian terkini yang menimpa adik saya di balik kasus dugaan video porno, katanya. Pada Kamis siang, sedikitnya 50 orang anggota berbagai ormas Islam di Kota Bandung berunjuk rasa di depan rumah Ariel dan mengutuk beredarnya video yang diperankan orang mirip Ariel dan mengutuk artis itu. Selain berunjuk rasa di depan rumah Ariel, massa juga menggelar aksi di depan kafe milik Luna Maya dan di Gedung DPRD Kota Bandung. (ANT/S026) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Indonesia holds 'most wanted man'
http://english.aljazeera.net/news/asia-pacific/2010/06/201062315215220293.html Wednesday, June 23, 2010 19:39 Mecca time, 16:39 GMT Indonesia holds 'most wanted man' In the past year, Indonesian police have launched a nationwide crackdown on fighters [Reuters] Police in Indonesia have captured a man believed to be one of the most wanted terrorists in the country, officials say. The man thought to be Abdullah Sonata, an explosives expert, will be fingerprinted to confirm his identity, officials said. Police said they became engaged in a gun battle after they launched a raid in Klaten, a district in central Java, on Wednesday. One person was shot dead and three were arrested, one of whom is believed to be Sonata. We captured three today, including Abdullah Sonata. One was killed during an exchange of fire, the source from the police's anti-terrorism unit, Detachment 88, told the Reuters news agency. The source said Sonata was found in possession of weapons. Police in Indonesia had put him at the top of their most wanted list. In the past year, Indonesian police have launched a nationwide crackdown on fighters, in which they have arrested or killed dozens of prominent fighters. Linked to Noordin Sonata was thought to have recently returned from the Philippines and started recruiting and training fighters. He is linked to the late Noordin Mohammed Top,the former head of a Jemaah Islamiyah splinter cell known as al-Qaeda in the Malay Archipelago, responsible for major bombings until he was killed last year by police. In depth Profile Who was Noordin Mohammed Top? Timeline Indonesia bombings Focus Indonesia's war on Jemaah Islamiyah Video Indonesia police in shootout Witness to Jakarta bombing Jakarta blast caught on tape Noordin had been accused of involvement in July's twin suicide bombings at the Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels in Jakarta, the 2002 Bali nightclub bombing and attacks on the same Marriott hotel in Jakarta in 2003, as well as the Australian Embassy in 2004. Sonata was sought for his role in planning a training camp in Aceh region - on the northwestern tip of Sumatra island to the west of Java - and for recruiting new members. Indonesia's Metro TV said police also discovered documents that showed fighters were planning to attack the Danish embassy in Jakarta, but the police source declined to confirm the report. Denmark has been a frequent target in various countries following the publication in a Danish newspaper in 2005 of caricatures depicting the Prophet Muhammad. In May, police said a group had set up a paramilitary training camp in Aceh and planned to launch a series of attacks. These included a Mumbai-style hotel siege targeting foreigners and an assault on the president and foreign guests at an independence day ceremony in August. Sonata had previously been arrested in 2004 for concealing information about Noordin, blamed for a string of bomb attacks against Western symbols over the past 10 years. He was released in March 2009. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Jangan pandang remeh sakit perut
http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2010dt=0622pub=Utusan_Malaysiasec=Kesihatanpg=kn_01.htm KESIHATAN ARKIB : 22/06/2010 Jangan pandang remeh sakit perut Oleh MARIATUL QATIAH ZAKARIA maria.zaka...@utusan.com.my TAHUKAH anda sakit perut yang berpanjangan boleh membawa maut sekiranya anda tidak mendapatkan rawatan segera? Selalunya, masyarakat hari ini beranggapan mereka menghadapi keracunan makanan atau tersalah makan sekiranya mengalami sakit perut. Sedangkan antara tanda-tanda keracunan makanan ini ialah ia hanya akan muncul dalam masa dua hingga 24 jam selepas makan. Ia juga bergantung kepada tahap keracunan dan mereka yang mengalaminya mungkin juga akan mengalami demam dan seram sejuk, najis berdarah serta penyahhidratan. Keracunan makanan berlaku apabila keradangan perut atau usus yang disebabkan oleh pengambilan makanan tercemar. Menurut Pakar Perubatan dan Gastroenterologi Pusat Perubatan Kelana Jaya, Dr. Abdul Malik Jamal Buhari, kesakitan pada bahagian perut atau abdomen boleh berpunca daripada pelbagai keadaan yang memberi kesan kepada pelbagai organ. Bahagian abdomen adalah terdiri daripada bahagian bawah tulang rusuk, tulang pelvik ke bawah serta kedua-dua sisi badan. Biarpun kesakitan pada bahagian abdomen boleh datang daripada tisu di dinding yang mengelilingi rongga abdomen, sakit di bahagian ini selalunya digunakan untuk menerangkan kesakitan yang berasal dari dalam rongga abdomen. ''Sekiranya tersalah makan, biasanya anda akan alami cirit-birit atau sakit perut pada awal pagi, sekitar pukul 3 atau 4 dan ia mengambil masa lapan jam selepas makan untuk mengalami tanda-tanda tersebut. ''Kebiasaannya anda tidak akan terus mendapat cirit-birit kerana jenis bakteria dan virus yang ada boleh menyebabkan kita muntah-muntah dahulu, iaitu kurang daripada dua hingga tiga jam selepas makan. ''Sekiranya anda keracunan makanan, ia akan mengambil satu hingga dua hari untuk baik tetapi kalau ia berpanjangan dan melebihi satu hingga dua minggu, kita kena buat siasatan dan tengok kenapa ada masalah cirit-birit yang berpanjangan,'' ujarnya ketika ditemui di Kelana Jaya, baru-baru ini. Tambah beliau, sekiranya jangkitan ataupun kesakitan masih belum reda ia pasti mempunyai masalah lain seperti sama ada disebabkan oleh masalah metabolik yang menyebabkan cirit-birit, mahupun masalah penyakit radang usus yang boleh menyebabkan sakit perut dan cirit-birit yang berpanjangan disertai pendarahan ataupun kuman di usus oleh parasit seperti ameba yang boleh menyebabkan masalah cirit-birit serta kejadian nanah di hati. Jelas beliau lagi, bagi penyakit gastrik pula, sekiranya ia merupakan ulser yang memudaratkan, ia perlu dibedah segera. Pesakit juga dinasihatkan menjalani pemeriksaan endoskopi (OGDS) ataupun pemeriksaan segera jika keadaan dilihat membahayakan kesihatan dan nyawa. Beliau turut memaklumkan kemungkinan berlakunya gastrik (dispepsia) dengan ulser atau tanpa ulser, mahupun kanser yang berpunca dari aktiviti bakteria helicobacter pylori yang berada di dalam perut dalam jangka masa yang lama, tanpa disedari. ''Jangan ambil mudah terhadap gastrik kerana gastrik juga boleh memudaratkan dan juga boleh membawa maut,'' katanya. Untuk itu, beliau menasihatkan orang ramai agar tidak menganggap sakit perut satu penyakit yang remeh dan diminta berjumpa dengan doktor pada kadar yang segera. Menurut Dr. Abdul Malik lagi, sekiranya sakit perut yang dihadapi tidak beransur pulih, eloklah sekiranya dirujuk kepada pakar bedah untuk langkah seterusnya. ''Kesakitan pada bahagian abdomen yang kerap mestilah dirujuk kepada pakar perubatan. Ini membolehkan doktor membuat pemeriksaan ke atas perut dan tempat-tempat yang berkenaan untuk mengenal pasti punca serta jenis penyakit yang dihadapi. ''Perlu diingatkan, banyak perkara boleh menyebabkan sakit perut ini termasuklah nanah di dalam perut,'' tambah beliau. Anda juga dinasihatkan agar mengamalkan gaya hidup yang aktif dan sihat, diet yang berkhasiat serta makanan yang seimbang yang boleh membantu mencegah atau mengurangkan keasidan gastrik, sembelit serta masalah penghadaman lain. Ini sekali gus memelihara perut anda daripada terkena pelbagai jangkitan kuman serta virus yang tidak diingini. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

http://www.dailychilli.com/news/4515-cannibal-killer-who-ate-cellmates-lung Cannibal killer who ate cellmate's lung Nicolas Cocaign ate part of his cellmate's lung In a gruesome incident, a French prisoner allegedly killed his cellmate and then sliced open his chest with a razor blade to remove and eat his heart, a court was told. But, the man allegedly removed the wrong organ and ate his lung by mistake. 39-year-old Nicolas Cocaign appeared in court in the northern city of Rouen for allegedly killing Thierry Baudry in January 2007 by punching and kicking him, stabbing him with a pair of scissors and then suffocating him with a rubbish bag. Cocaign then allegedly sliced open Baudry's chest with a razor blade, removed a rib and pulled out an organ which he believed was the man's heart, but which in fact was his lung, The Daily Telegraph reported. He is accused of eating part of the lung raw and then frying the rest of it with some onions, olive oil, salt and pepper on a portable camping stove which the prisoners are to use in cells of the Rouen prison. A lawyer representing victim, Thierry Baudry, chatting with Baudry's relatives before the start of proceedings at the Rouen criminal court I wanted to take his soul, The Daily Mail quoted him as telling an investigating judge. Angry about the way Baudry kept blocking the toilet they shared with paper, Cocaign who at the time of the crime was in custody awaiting trial for attempted armed robbery, confronted him and was met with a dirty look which was very aggressive. The two started fighting, with Cocaign punching Baudry at least a dozen times in the face and stomach, before stabbing him with a pair of scissors. The entire barbaric incident was witnessed by a third cellmate, David Lagrue, 36, who had initially tried to separate Cocaign and Baudry when they started fighting. Lagrue was so traumatised by what happened that he ended up committing suicide in another prison in November 2009. A verdict in the trial is expected on Thursday.

[wanita-muslimah] HMI Tolak Kedatangan SBY
http://beta.ambonekspres.com/index.php?option=readcat=43id=30153 HMI Tolak Kedatangan SBY Ambon, AE.- Puluhan mahasiswa yang tergabung dalam Himpunan Mahasiswa Islam (HMI) Cabang Ambon, menggelar aksi demonstrasi di halaman kantor Gubernur Maluku, Selasa (15/6). Mereka menolak rencana kedatangan Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) dan peserta asal Amerika pada event Sail Banda, yang berlangsung Juli mendatang di Kota Ambon. Dalam orasinya, salah satu koordinator aksi, Karim Namkatu menilai, kedatangan SBY, tidak memberikan manfaat apa-apa untuk perubahan Maluku. Belajar dari momentum-momentum sebelumnya yang dihadiri oleh SBY, Maluku tetap dalam tarap kemiskinan. Dan ini tak bisa dielakan oleh Pemerintah Provinsi (pemprov) Maluku. Namkatu juga mengatakan, jika Pemprov Maluku tetap bersikukuh untuk mendatangkan orang nomor satu di negari ini, maka mereka akan melakukan konsolidasi dengan semua komponen mahasiswa dan LSM untuk memboikot aktivitas panitia Sail Banda. Dalam aksinya, demonstran menilai agenda Sail Banda hanya menjadi lahan penggarapan dan eksploitasi Sumberdaya Alam (SDA) di Maluku. Pemerintah dinilai hanya berpatokan pada alokasi Anggaran Pembelanjaan Negara (APBN) ke Anggaran Belanja Daerah (APBD), untuk pemberdayaan pendidikan dan kesehatan. Namun sampai hari ini belum ada perubahan. Biaya kesehatan masih mahal begitu juga biaya pendidikan,kecamnya. Olehnya itu, Sail Banda hanya euforia yang dilakukan oleh pemprov untuk mempromosikan ketangguhan jabatan mereka Bukan kwalitas sumberdaya yang ada. Sayangnya, kedatangan puluhan mahasiswa itu, tidak disambut Wakil Gubernur Maluku yang juga Ketua Panitia Sail Banda, Said Assagaf. Pak wagub sedang rapat penting. Tapi beliau titip pesan agar ada Lima orang perwakilan demonstran saja yang melakukan negosiasi usai rapat,ujar M Sangadji, salah satu pegawai pemprov yang dipercayakan menyampaikan pesan tersebut. Hanya saja, para demonstran menolak permintaan itu. Mereka inginkan, negosiasi tidak menggunakan utusan. Saiful Wakano yang juga koordinator aksi menilai, wagub telah menunjukan arogansinya sebagai putra daerah. Sebelum menuju ke kantor gubernur Maluku, para demonstran sempat melakukan orasi di Jalan Sultan Babullah dan Gong Perdamaian. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Kegamangan dalam Euforia Satu Abad
http://www.jawapos.co.id/halaman/index.php?act=showpagekat=7 [ Selasa, 22 Juni 2010 ] Jelang Muktamar Muhammadiyah, Jogjakarta, 3-8 Juli 2010 Kegamangan dalam Euforia Satu Abad Oleh Syamsul Arifin PEKAN depan, Muhammadiyah menghelat muktamar ke-46 di Jogjakarta. Muktamar Muhammadiyah kali ini bertepatan dengan peringatan satu abad organisasi yang didirikan oleh Ahmad Dahlan pada 8 Zulhijah 1330 H (18 November 1912 M). Warga Muhammadiyah patut bergembira dengan capaian usia organisasi yang panjang. Sebab, tidak banyak organisasi umat Islam di Indonesia yang berkembang secara dinamis, selain eksis, kendati telah melampaui usia seabad. Ahmad Dahlan mungkin tidak pernah membayangkan bahwa organisasi yang dia bidani ternyata tidak hanya melekat dalam memori kolektif umat Islam sebagai sebuah nama, tetapi dari sisi basis massa serta jaringan kian berkecambah, berkelindan dengan pertambahan amal usaha yang dimiliki. Ada banyak kontribusi yang telah diberikan oleh Muhammadiyah dengan modal yang dimilikinya itu. Salah satu kontribusi yang dicatat sejumlah pengamat dan peneliti Muhammadiyah adalah kontribusi di bidang politik, selain bidang keagamaan dan pendidikan yang memang sudah dikenal baik oleh publik. Di bidang politik, Muhammadiyah dalam penelitian Alfian (1989) yang mendalam terhadap perilaku politik Muhammadiyah untuk kurun 1912-1942 dinilai memiliki posisi strategis sebagai kekuatan politik (as political force) meskipun bukan partai politik. Tanpa harus menjadi partai politik, Muhammadiyah sebenarnya telah memainkan peran politik penting. Peran yang ditemukan oleh Alfian selama meneliti, Muhammadiyah mampu menjadi masyarakat sipil atau civil society -menurut kosakata politik mutakhir. Ahmad Dahlan -karena lebih menonjol sebagai sosok kiai- tidak pernah memberikan atribut kepada Muhammadiyah dengan ungkapan yang tidak pernah ditemukan dalam teks kitab suci Alquran. Yang ada di benak Ahmad Dahlan hanyalah keinginan memperbarui sosial-keagamaan dengan agama sebagai sumber inspirasi dan motivasi. Praksis gagasan Ahmad Dahlan, rupanya, mengundang apresiasi. Karena itu, banyak kalangan Islam perkotaan yang bergabung dengan Muhammadiyah, kendati banyak juga yang bersikap oposisi. Terlepas dari kontroversi yang mengiringi perkembangan Muhammadiyah, ada suatu fakta yang tidak terbantahkan. Yakni, Muhammadiyah memiliki basis massa dan jaringan yang lumayan kuat serta luas sehingga dapat mengefektifkan Muhammadiyah dalam berperan sebagai civil society. *** Dengan peran tersebut, Muhammadiyah di satu pihak selalu konsisten di luar jalur kekuasaan dalam pengertian formal. Tetapi, di pihak lain, Muhammadiyah tidak pernah kehilangan nyali untuk menyampaikan kritik secara objektif dan elegan terhadap lembaga kekuasaan formal, pemerintah. Soal kemampuan mengkritik sebagai civil society, kalangan internal Muhammadiyah selalu menjadikan A.R. Fachruddin sebagai contoh yang baik. Tokoh yang dikenal bersahaja dan pernah memimpin Muhammadiyah dalam rentang waktu yang cukup panjang (1968-1990) itu memahami betul konteks budaya penguasa. Beberapa episode kepemimpinan Pak AR, panggilan akrab A.R. Fachruddin, semasa dengan kekuasaan Presiden Soeharto yang memang kental akan nuansa budaya Jawa dan dikenal otoriter. Pak AR tidak jarang menggunakan bahasa Jawa kromo inggil saat berkomunikasi dengan Soeharto sehingga aspirasi, kritik, dan lobi bisa disampaikan secara elegan, tanpa menimbulkan stigma, apalagi friksi utama antara Muhammadiyah dan pemerintah. Dengan kompetensi personal dalam berkomunikasi di ranah politik, Pak AR mampu mengawal karakter kepolitikan Muhammadiyah, yang sejatinya harus mengutamakan keadaban berdemokrasi. Pak AR tentu sangat sadar bahwa Muhammadiyah bukan partai politik yang memang terbiasa dengan dua pilihan: berkuasa atau oposisi. Muhammadiyah merupakan institusi dakwah. Secara diametral, perspektif dakwah berbeda dengan pandangan partai dalam memahami realitas politik. Perspektif dakwah lebih mengedepankan kearifan atau hikmah dalam berhadapan dengan realitas politik. Realitas politik jarang dilihat secara hitam-putih. Kekuasaan secara kelembagaan maupun personal, misalnya, tidak melulu dilihat dari sisi buruk atau baik. Agar bisa sampai pada penilaian yang seimbang, kita dituntut menjaga jarak dan tidak boleh mengambil posisi sebagai partisan. Sebab, jika mengambil posisi sebaliknya, kita dengan mudah terperangkap pada sikap hitam-putih lazimnya partai politik. Mengapa Pak AR sering dijadikan contoh yang baik dalam komunikasi politik? Sebab, Pak AR lebih mengutamakan pola berpikir dakwah yang menjadi karakter Muhammadiyah! *** Dalam lima tahun terakhir, warga Muhammadiyah mulai merindukan sosok seperti Pak AR, yang piawai memosisikan Muhammadiyah ketika berhadapan dengan realitas politik. Suasana kebatinan itu merupakan hal yang wajar. Sebab, elite Muhammadiyah, terutama di level puncak, kian kehilangan nalar dalam
[wanita-muslimah] Kasus Gayus, Polri Didesak Periksa Bos-Pemilik Grup Bakrie
Refleksi: Apakah Poliri berhasrat dan berani periksa bos pemilik grup Bakrie? Bagimana komentar Anda? http://www.jawapos.co.id/halaman/index.php?act=detailnid=140886 [ Senin, 21 Juni 2010 ] Kasus Gayus, Polri Didesak Periksa Bos-Pemilik Grup Bakrie JAKARTA - Sukses Mabes Polri mengungkap sekaligus menyita uang Rp 74 miliar milik Gayus Tambunan dalam safety box di bank mendapat apresiasi positif. Namun, polisi juga didesak agar segera mengungkap para penyetor dana gelap itu. Termasuk, berani memeriksa para pimpinan maupun pemilik Grup Bakrie. ''Pimpinan Grup Bakrie, termasuk Aburizal Bakrie (bos dan pemilik Grup Bakrie), harus diperiksa. Mereka bisa dipanggil,'' desak Ketua Presidium Indonesian Police Watch Neta Sanusi Pane dalam diskusi di Jakarta kemarin (20/06). Pada Jumat lalu (18/6), Direktur III/Pidana Korupsi dan White Collar Crime Bareskrim Mabes Polri Brigjen Pol Yovianus Mahar mengonfirmasi bahwa salah seorang pimpinan PT Bumi Resources Tbk (salah satu perusahaan Grup Bakrie), yakni Deni Adrianz, sudah diperiksa sebagai saksi. Menurut Neta, keterangan Gayus maupun Deni bisa dikembangkan. ''Apakah ada perintah untuk merekayasa pajak. Kalau ada, dari siapa. Begitu terus, berjenjang sampai atas,'' kata penulis buku Jangan Bosan Kritik Polisi itu. Neta meyakini uang miliaran rupiah milik Gayus tersebut tidak mungkin datang dengan sendirinya. ''Dia tidak mungkin kaya tiba-tiba. Pasti ada yang menyetor. Ini kok belum ada pengumuman sama sekali siapa yang menyetori Gayus,'' ujarnya. Idealnya, tutur Neta, orang-orang yang dicurigai bisa dipanggil. ''Dasarnya adalah pengakuan Gayus. Itu bisa sebagai dasar untuk memanggil orang. Selain itu, penyidik harus melakukan langkah pembuktian yang lain,'' katanya. Berdasar dokumen dan berkas pemeriksaan Gayus, mantan pegawai Ditjen Pajak yang dipecat itu kepada penyidik mengaku bahwa dirinya mendapat dana dari membantu kasus-kasus pajak. Gayus mendapat order dari Alif Kuncoro dan Imam Cahyo Maliki. Alif sudah ditetapkan sebagai tersangka dan ditahan. Sementara itu, Imam sudah diperiksa, namun masih berstatus sebagai saksi. Order Gayus lewat Alif, menurut berkas itu, berasal dari tiga perusahaan Grup Bakrie. Yakni, PT Kaltim Prima Coal (KPC), PT Arutmin, dan Bumi Resources. Semua pengakuan Gayus itu dibantah Senior Vice President Investor Relation and Corporate Secretary PT Bumi Resources Dileep Srivastava (Jawa Pos 19/6). Keluarga Bakrie, melalui juru bicaranya, Lalu Mara Satriawangsa, juga membantah keras pengakuan Gayus. Aburizal Bakrie beberapa waktu lalu juga membantah. Ical, panggilan akrab Aburizal Bakrie, menyatakan bahwa dirinya tidak punya kaitan khusus dengan tiga perusahaan tersebut. Ical menyebutkan bahwa dirinya punya kedudukan sama dengan pemegang saham yang lain (Jawa Pos 6/6). Menurut Neta, semua bantahan eksekutif Grup Bakrie maupun Ical tak cukup dilontarkan melalui media. ''Kalau mau menolak tudingan, ya di hadapan penyidik saat pemeriksaan,'' katanya. Kapolri, lanjut dia, seharusnya juga tidak perlu khawatir dengan imbas politik jika melanjutkan pengusutan kasus tersebut sampai pada penyetor dana. Secara terpisah, pimpinan Masyarakat Antikorupsi Indonesia Boyamin Saiman juga menilai pengusutan kasus Gayus berjalan sangat lamban. ''Saat ini polisi justru fokus kepada kasus video porno. Padahal, kasus korupsi Gayus belum tuntas,'' katanya. Dia menduga, langkah Mabes Polri yang setengah-setengah dalam mengusut kasus mafia pajak terkait dengan masalah politis. ''Bau kepentingan politiknya tercium sekali,'' ujar Boyamin. Wakil Kepala Divisi Humas Mabes Polri Brigjen Pol Zainuri Lubis memastikan bahwa pihaknya akan menuntaskan kasus Gayus hingga ke akar-akarnya. ''Percayalah, penyidik sedang bekerja,'' katanya. Jenderal bintang satu itu menjelaskan bahwa tim yang dipimpin Brigjen Pol Yovianus Mahar masih menyidik dugaan korupsi Gayus. Sedangkan tim independen pimpinan Irjen Pol Mathius Salempang menuntaskan kasus sindikasi mafia pajak. ''Lantas, pengakuan Gayus akan ditelusuri dan dikembangkan oleh penyidik,'' tuturnya.

[wanita-muslimah] Edi O.S. Hiariej: Fenomena Video Porno
http://www.jawapos.co.id/halaman/index.php?act=detailnid=140885 [ Senin, 21 Juni 2010 ] Edi O.S. Hiariej: Fenomena Video Porno Sesungguhnya, fenomena video porno bukanlah hal baru di tanah air. Sejak beberapa tahun silam, video porno -baik yang sengaja direkam pelaku maupun yang direkam secara sembunyi-sembunyi oleh pihak lain- merebak di Indonesia. Saat ini fenomena video porno kembali hangat dibicarakan. Pasalnya, pemeran dalam video tersebut mirip dengan artis yang merupakan figur publik, seperti Ariel, Luna Maya, dan Cut Tary. Bagaimana sebetulnya hukum pidana menyikapi hal tersebut? Paling tidak, ada tiga undang-undang yang dapat digunakan untuk menjerat hal-hal yang berbau pelanggaran terhadap kesusilaan seperti yang tergambar dalam video tersebut. Pertama, ketentuan dalam pasal 282 ayat 1 Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana (KUHP) yang secara eksplisit menyatakan, Barang siapa menyiarkan, mempertunjukkan, atau menempelkan di muka umum tulisan, gambar, atau benda yang telah diketahui isinya dan yang melanggar kesusilaan atau barang siapa dengan maksud untuk disiarkan, dipertunjukkan, atau ditempelkan di muka umum, membikin tulisan, gambar, atau benda tersebut, memasukkannya ke dalam negeri, meneruskannya, mengeluarkannya dari negeri, atau mempunyainya dalam persediaan ataupun barang siapa secara terang-terangan atau dengan mengedarkan surat tanpa diminta, menawarkannya, atau menunjukkannya sebagai bisa didapat, diancam dengan pidana penjara paling lama satu tahun atau denda paling tinggi tiga ribu rupiah. Konstruksi pasal 282 ayat 1 KUHP adalah delik penyebaran. Artinya, tulisan, gambar, atau benda yang muatannya melanggar kesusilaan disiarkan di muka umum. Konsekuensi selanjutnya, tulisan, gambar, atau benda tersebut diketahui orang banyak. Berdasar pasal itu, adresat atau orang yang dapat dijerat dengan pasal 282 ayat 1 KUHP adalah mereka yang mengedarkan atau menyebarluaskan tulisan, gambar, atau benda yang melanggar kesusilaan. Kedua, ketentuan dalam pasal 27 ayat 1 Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2008 tentang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik berbunyi, Setiap orang dengan sengaja dan tanpa hak mendistribusikan dan atau mentransmisikan dan atau membuat dapat diaksesnya informasi elektronik dan atau dokumen elektronik yang memiliki muatan yang melanggar kesusilaan. Dalam undang-undang tersebut, tidak ada definisi soal melanggar kesusilaan. Karena itu, pengertian melanggar kesusilaan harus merujuk kepada KUHP, yang sebenarnya dalam KUHP sendiri tidak ada definisi yang pasti tentang pelanggaran terhadap kesusilaan. Tegasnya, substansi pasal 27 ayat 1 UU Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik pada dasarnya sama dengan pasal-pasal kejahatan terhadap kesusilaan sebagaimana yang diatur dalam KUHP. Perbedaannya terletak pada alat yang digunakan untuk menyebarluaskan tulisan, gambar, atau benda yang muatannya melanggar kesusilaan, yakni sarana elektronik. Pelaku yang dapat dijerat dengan pasal tersebut adalah mereka yang mengedarkan atau menyebarluaskan tulisan, gambar, atau benda yang melanggar kesusilaan. Ketiga, ketentuan dalam pasal 4 ayat 1 Undang-Undang Nomor 44 Tahun 2008 tentang Pornografi. Secara eksplisit, pasal tersebut menyatakan, Setiap orang dilarang memproduksi, membuat, memperbanyak, menggandakan, menyebarluaskan, menyiarkan, mengimpor, mengekspor, menawarkan, memperjualbelikan, menyewakan, atau menyediakan pornografi yang secara eksplisit memuat: a) persanggamaan, termasuk persanggamaan yang menyimpang; b) kekerasan seksual; c) masturbasi atau onani; d) ketelanjangan atau tampilan yang mengesankan ketelanjangan; e) alat kelamin; f) pornografi anak. Atas dasar konstruksi pasal yang demikian, ada beberapa catatan. Pertama, ada definisi yang rigid perihal pornografi sebagaimana yang tertuang dalam huruf a sampai f. Hal tersebut berbeda dengan perbuatan yang melanggar kesusilaan sebagaimana diatur dalam pasal 282 ayat 1 KUHP dan pasal 27 ayat 1 UU Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik tanpa definisi yang tegas. Kedua, adresat -dalam pengertian siapa saja yang dapat dijerat dengan pasal itu- sangat luas. Bukan hanya mereka yang menyebarluaskan, tetapi juga yang membuat, memperbanyak, menyiarkan, atau memperjualbelikan. Soal video porno yang kini ramai dibicarakan karena para pemain dalam video tersebut mirip dengan Ariel, Luna Maya, dan Cut Tary, ada beberapa hal yang penting untuk dikemukakan. Pertama, pasal 282 ayat 1 KUHP maupun pasal 27 ayat 1 UU Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik tidak dapat digunakan untuk menjerat mereka, terlebih jika video porno itu dimaksudkan untuk koleksi pribadi. Kecuali, ada bukti yang kuat bahwa pengedar video porno tersebut adalah mereka. Kedua, harus ada ketegasan dari Ariel, Luna, dan Cut Tary bahwa mereka benar-benar pelaku dalam video itu. Hal tersebut penting untuk menentukan status mereka. Jika diakui secara tegas bahwa pelaku dalam video porno tersebut adalah mereka, Ariel, Luna, dan Cut
[wanita-muslimah] Menghargai Pahlawan Devisa
http://www.suarakarya-online.com/news.html?id=255730 Menghargai Pahlawan Devisa Oleh Haryono Suyono Senin, 21 Juni 2010 Minggu lalu, kami mengikuti konferensi tentang kesejahteraan dan pembangunan sosial dunia di Hong Kong. Ikut dalam rombongan kami adalah Tjuk Kasturi Sukiadi sebagai Ketua DNIKS sekaligus Ketua BK3S Jatim, M Soedarmadi (Direktur Eksekutif Damandiri), Rohadi Haryanto (Sekjen DNIKS), dan Mulyono Daniprawiro (pejabat senior Damandiri). Waktu itu kami menyempatkan diri bertemu beberapa TKI yang meninggalkan keluarganya untuk berjuang membangun keluarga sejahtera melalui perjuangan yang berat bekerja di banyak keluarga di Hong Kong. Menjelang Hari Keluarga Nasional 2010, akhir bulan ini, tidak ada salahnya kita menghargai perjuangan mereka yang gigih. Ini penting agar kita bisa bekerja keras membentuk dan mengirimkan tenaga kerja profesional dengan harapan imbalan jasa yang lebih gemilang pada masa-masa mendatang. Rasanya kita juga perlu menghargai perjuangan mereka. Sebab, dengan latar belakang yang profesional dan didukung fasilitas yang baik, para pekerja Indonesia umumnya bisa menempatkan diri ketika bekerja di Hong Kong. Mereka pun mampu mendapatkan penghasilan yang cukup lumayan. Bahkan tidak kalah jumlahnya dengan penghasilan pensiunan seorang menko senior di republik ini. Dari kesan pertemuan sekilas dengan mereka, yang kemudian dilanjutkan dengan mengikuti gerakan mereka di lapangan, pada umumnya para pekerja Indonesia di Hong Kong cukup bahagia. Mereka bekerja selama enam hari dalam satu minggu dengan kesempatan libur sehari bagi setiap pekerja rumah tangga. Waktu libur sehari itu bebas digunakan menurut kemauan sendiri. Apabila beruntung mendapatkan majikan yang baik, mereka boleh memilih hari liburnya pada hari Sabtu atau Minggu melalui kesepakatan. Pada hari libur itulah, setiap pekerja diizinkan berjalan-jalan layaknya seorang tuan besar dengan pilihan acara yang beraneka ragam. Salah satu acara yang dirancang dengan tiket yang dipesan jauh-jauh hari dan terjadi pada saat kunjungan kami ke Hong Kong minggu lalu adalah konser penyanyi kondang dari Jakarta. Tiket untuk acara ini harus dipesan jauh hari karena ternyata kami masih menemui beberapa pejuang devisa yang kecewa karena kehabisan tiket dan terpaksa menikmati hari liburnya dengan makan enak di suatu restoran di pusat pertokoan, layaknya seorang pegawai swasta menengah dan tinggi dari Jakarta. Untuk makan-makan tersebut, dengan alat komunikasi hp canggihnya, mereka mengajak teman-temannya berjalan bersama, mengarungi lautan ke pusat pertokoan dengan nyaman. Gaya pakaiannya tidak kalah dengan gadis-gadis modern di Jakarta, Surabaya atau Semarang. Kita pasti tidak mengira bahwa mereka adalah pembantu rumah tangga. Di tangan mereka ditenteng tas modern dan sebuah payung karena pada waktu ini Hong Kong, seperti juga Jakarta, Surabaya, dan Semarang, masih diguyur hujan sesuai dengan prediksi yang mereka ikuti di televisi atau radio. Tiga orang pembantu rumah tangga, sebut saja Darmi, Warsilah, dan Wati, sudah lebih dua tahun tinggal pada keluarga di Hong Kong. Pada hari Sabtu itu mereka libur dan tidak kebagian tiket sehingga harus menghabiskan hari liburnya untuk berbelanja sekaligus window shopping ke pusat pertokoan di kota. Mereka sengaja bepergian bertiga agar bisa mengadakan perundingan sebelum mengambil keputusan final. Apabila tiba waktunya makan siang, mereka bisa memilih makanan dengan kenikmatan yang lebih ketimbang pergi sendirian yang pasti harus dengan pilihan terbatas. Pilihan belanja tersebut memberi opsi yang lebih luas karena bisa saja mereka belanja tanpa harus melihat barangnya. Salah satu opsi belanja tanpa susah-susah menenteng barang ini dilakukan juga di antara para pejuang devisa tersebut. Salah seorang pejuang yang kami temui bernama Nanik, yang karena memiliki majikan yang baik memperoleh kesempatan menawarkan barang-barang yang pembelinya tidak usah melihatnya. Nanik, yang sudah lebih lima tahun bermukim sebagai pekerja di Hong Kong, setiap liburan berubah menjadi agen antar pembantu menawarkan aneka ragam barang yang bisa dipesan, dibayar dengan cara cicilan, dan barang pesanannya langsung diantar dari Surabaya ke alamat masing-masing di seluruh Indonesia tanpa cacat. Pekerjaan ini memberi keuntungan yang sangat tinggi sehingga Nanik bisa mengirim kepada orangtua, suami, dan anak-anaknya di Tanah Air layaknya seorang kaya yang bingung membelanjakan uangnya. Nanik dan keluarganya sudah mempunyai rumah, sawah yang diolah oleh suami dan keluarganya dengan baik. Seperti juga Nanik, ada juga seorang senior lain bernama Yati yang konon menurut ceritanya sudah berada di Hong Kong lebih tujuh tahun. Yati sudah berhasil mengirim suaminya ke Korea karena pergaulannya di Hong Kong yang sangat maju. Yati sudah tidak lagi kelihatan seperti pembantu rumah tangga. Dia sekaligus adalah supervisor di antara para pembantu yang dengan

Pak Dul, Orang tua terkecuali yang gila atau petinggi agama apapun tidak ada yang mendidik atau menyuruh anak-anak perempuan untuk prostitusi, tetapi masalah ekonomi (perut) menjadi penyebab utama. Sama halnya dengan TKW, kalau tidak kepepet di rumah, mana mau ada wanita pergi jauh-jauh meninggalkan anak, suami, orang tua, kenalan dan teman karib, pergi ke lingkungan yang bisa merusak jiwanya.

Eli, a sex worker advocacy program mentor from the Rumah Cemara Group in Bandung, said it was hard to provide advocacy to teenagers involved in covert prostitution since most were not receptive. The number of those involved in covert prostitution is believed to be higher compared to commercial sex on the streets, she added. Eli has been providing support to more than 200 housewives and child sex workers over the past two years, around 20 of who are senior high school students between the ages of 15 and 16. They are psychologically unstable at those ages. They are hard to handle due to their strong motivation to earn money to make purchases such as cell phones and shoes, Eli said after attending the Rescue and Prevention of Child Sexual Exploitation (ESKA) program's discussion in Bandung. She expressed concern that the spread of STDs such as HIV/AIDS, would be more difficult to prevent among the youths because the target group was harder to detect. They don't care about contraceptives and the risks involved in exchanging partners. Parents are also seldom aware of their activities, so they are deprived of moral and health guidance, said Eli. The ESKA program has targeted that it could save 300 of around 1,000 children predicted by the Save The Children group from prostitution. One child prostitution case currently being handled by the West Bandung Police involves a 15-year-old girl who sold herself for Rp 5 million Rupiah (US$550), just because she wished to buy a cell phone and get dental braces. Eko Kriswanto, program officer of the Save the Children in West Java, contributed high technology as a reason that made it hard to disclose covert child prostitution. He said since the program was initiated in Bandung in 2002, a change in the behavior of child sex workers had taken place. Previously, prostitution was carried out openly at redlight districts or on the street. Now, they can carry out transactions without being detected by using social networking means such as Facebook or through email and cell phone, said Eko. It's no longer always due to economic hardships. Sometimes they are 'on business' as an exchange for drugs, cash, phone credit or just free meals. Neti Supriati, Child and Women's Rights Protection division head of the Women's Empowerment and Family Planning Office, said the government has only mapped out the cases and provided counseling to victims of sex violence. But the government has yet make a move to curb child prostitution, she added. We are just handling women and child household abuse cases only and have yet to move in that direction, said Neti. -The Jakarta Post/ANN Published June 20 2010 [Non-text portions of this message have been
[wanita-muslimah] 2024, Gaji Profesional Wanita Lebih Tinggi Dibanding Pria + Ini Dia 14 Wanita Miliuner tanpa Bantuan Kerabat
Refleksi : Kapan dan mungkinkah di NKRI gaji profesional wanita bisa lebih tinggi dibanding pria? http://www.republika.co.id/berita/breaking-news/internasional/10/06/21/120869-2024-gaji-profesional-wanita-lebih-tinggi-dibanding-pria 2024, Gaji Profesional Wanita Lebih Tinggi Dibanding Pria Senin, 21 Juni 2010, 13:42 WIB REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, NEW YORK--Wanita pekerja profesional asal Amerika Serikat akan segera mengalahkan pemasukan rata-rata pada tahun 2024, jika tren yang terjadi saat ini terus berlangsung. Statistik yang dirilis oleh pemerintah Amerika Serikat (AS) menunjukkan, sebanyak 35 persen rumahtangga dengan pemasukan ganda, sebagian besar berasal dari wanita. Padahal, proporsi tersebut hanya sebesar 28 persen pada statistik lima tahun yang lalu. Seorang ahli demografi asal California, Maddy Dychtwald mengatakan, seiring tren dari semakin diterimanya profesi seperti pengacara dan dokter sebagai staf perempuan, menurunkan angkat kelahiran dan dampak resesi relatif ringan pada pekerja perempuan di AS. Maddy menambahkan, hal itu juga membantu perubahan presepsi dari pria yang lebih muda mengenai kondisi istri yang tidak dapat menghasilkan yang. Kondisi itu juga menimbulkan minat dari para pria muda untuk lebih banyak meluangkan waktu dengan keluarga dan tidak terlalu terobsesi dengan pekerjaan. Sebagian ahli mengatakan, masih banyak perusahaan yang lebih memilih pria dibandingkan wanita yang memiliki anak, karena dianggap lebih berkomitmen terhadap pekerjaan. Namun, sebagian akademiki mengatakan, tren menerima wanita sebagai pekerja semakin mantap di kota besar seperti New York, Chicago dan Dallas, dimana wanita banyak berpindah untuk mendapat pekerjaan tanpa pertimbangan gender. Maddy mengaku, dia tdak bisa memprediksi beberapa kondisi terbaliknya peran gender utama yang mempengaruhi feminisasi dari laki-laki. Hal itu merupakan penciptaan kembali peran pria dan wanita. Itu adalah perubahan paradigma yang sangat besar, yang memberikan pria dan wanita lebih banyak pilihan ketika datang untuk mengejar karir mereka, untuk menyediakan bagi keluarga mereka dan mengekspresikan bakat mereka dan kekuatan http://www.republika.co.id/berita/breaking-news/internasional/10/06/16/120095-ini-dia-14-wanita-miliuner-tanpa-bantuan-kerabat Ini Dia 14 Wanita Miliuner tanpa Bantuan Kerabat Rabu, 16 Juni 2010, 10:44 WIB REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, NEW YORK--Kemampuan untuk mengeruk keuntungan dan menimbun harta kekayaan tak lagi dipengaruhi oleh gender.

Tiga sukarelawan yang akan diserahkan ke pihak keluarga itu adalah Surya Fachrizal Aprianus dari Sahabat Al Aqsa, Abdillah Onim (MER-C) dan Nur Ikhwan Abadi (MER-C). Marty menjelaskan, serah terima rencananya digelar pukul 17.00 WIB di Kementerian Luar Negeri. Itu rencananya, tapi harus saya cek lagi karena saya juga harus mempersiapkan diri untuk pertemuan G-20, kata Marty. Selain menggelar serah terima dengan pihak keluarga, kata Marty, pemerintah juga akan memberikan perawatan, terutama untuk Surya Fachrizal Aprianus yang mengalami luka tembak. Sukarelawan asal Indonesia itu dijadwalkan tiba di Bandara Internasional Soekarno-Hatta pada Senin dengan penerbangan Emirates pukul 15.55 WIB.

[wanita-muslimah] Wah Harga BBM Eceran Capai Rp15 Ribu/liter
Refleksi : Apakah harga eceran BBM masih murah bila dibandingkan untuk pendapatan rata-rata dari penduduk? http://www.antaranews.com/berita/1277109681/wah-harga-bbm-eceran-capai-rp15-ribu-liter Wah Harga BBM Eceran Capai Rp15 Ribu/liter Senin, 21 Juni 2010 15:41 WIB | Peristiwa | Umum | Bengkulu (ANTARA News) - Masyarakat Kabupaten Kepahiang dan Rejang Lebong Provinsi Bengkulu mengeluhkan tingginya harga eceran Bahan Bakar Minyak yang mencapai Rp15 ribu per liter. Harga BBM eceran mencapai Rp15 ribu sampai Rp17 ribu per liter, sementara minyak di SPBU lebih sering kosong padahal kami sudah ikut antri berjam-jam, kata salah seorang pemilik kendaraan roda empat, Nody Rahmat di Bengkulu, Senin. Ia mengatakan, kondisi tersebut sudah terjadi dalam satu bulan terakhir dan mulai mengganggu pengguna kendaraan untuk melakukan aktivitasnya. Kebetulan area kerja saya antara Kota Bengkulu-Kepahiang dan Curup, kemudian kembali ke Bengkulu jadi sangat terganggu dengan persoalan ini,katanya. Nody berharap pemerintah segera mengatasi hal tersebut sehingga aktivitas masyarakat berjalan dengan normal. Menanggapi hal ini Ketua Komisi III DPRD Provinsi Bengkulu Budi Darmawansyah mengatakan, permintaan BBM tersebut dipengaruhi tingginya aktivitas pemilik kendaraan dalam rangka kampanye calon kepala daerah di dua kabupaten tersebut. Sekarang kan masa kampanye jadi aktivitas kendaraan meningkat sehingga kebutuhan BBM juga meningkat, jadi sebaiknya Pertamina melakukan pengamatan di lapangan dan kalau memang diperlukan tambahan pasokan agar dibahas bersama pemerintah daerah, katanya. Politisi Golkar ini berharap, dinas dan badan terkait agar mengawasi dan turun ke lapangan untuk mengetahui penyebab tingginya harga BBM eceran tersebut. Sementara itu Pengawas Penjualan Depo Pertamina Bengkulu Gatot Widianto mengatakan harga BBM eceran tidak di bawah pengawasan dan pantauan Pertamina. Kalau eceran kami tidak mengawasi atau memantau, tapi pasokan BBM untuk Kepahiang dan Curup tetap normal dan tidak ada pengurangan, katanya. Ia mengatakan, empat SPBU di Kepahiang dan Curup mendapat pasokan BBM antara 16 kiloliter hingga 24 kiloliter per hari. (ANT/B010) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Bom Mobil Tewaskan 26 Orang di Baghdad

Tentara Irak berjaga-jaga di lokasi serangan bom mobil di Baghdad, Irak, Minggu (20/6) setelah dua bom mobil meledak dekat lapangan utama di Baghdad. Dua bom mobil meledak, Minggu (20/6) dekat sebuah lapangan utama di Baghdad, menewaskan 26 orang dan mencederai 53 orang lainnya dalam serangan terkini yang ditujukan pada daerah elit di ibukota Irak itu. Mobil-mobil bermuatan bahan peledak tadi diparkir berjarak ratusan meter dekat sebuah gedung pemerintah yang mengeluarkan kartu identifikasi nasional, gedung perusahaan telepon dan bank pemerintah. Ledakan-ledakan hampir serentak terjadi setelah pukul 11.00 waktu setempat disaat kawasan itu ramai dengan orang pada hari pertama minggu kerja. Mayjen. Qassim al-Moussawi, jurubicara militer utama Irak untuk Baghdad, mengatakan, 26 orang tewas dan 53 lainnya cedera. Korban tewas termasuk empat polsi dan dua wanita, demikian menurut para pejabat rumahsakit dan polisi, yang mengkonfirmasikan angka korban itu dengan meminta dirahasiakan namanya karena mereka tidak berwenang memberikan keterangan kepada media. Pemboman-pemboman berkelanjutan di Baghdad dan daerah-daerah sekitarnya meningkatkan kekhawatiran bahwa gerilyawan meningkatkan serangan dalam upaya memicu kerusuhan dengan memanfaatkan kebuntuan politik pasca pemilihan 7 Maret. Pekan lalu, tersangka gerilyawan al Qaeda di Irak menyerbu bank pusat dan berbaku tembak dengan pasukan keamanan Irak dalam ketegangan yang melumpuhkan sebagian ibukota. Pada perkembangan lain dilaporkan, tiga bom pinggir jalan di Hurriya, satu perkampungan Syiah di utara Baghdad, menewaskan empat orang dan mencederai 16 orang, kata seorang pejabat keamanan kepada AFP. Tembakan dari sebuah peluncur roket Katyusha menewaskan tiga orang dan mencederai empat orang di Al Obeidi, satu distrik kumuh Syiah di daerah timur ibu kota Irak dekat pangkalan Syiah Kota Sadr, kata seorang pejabat. Dan di Zayouna, Baghdad tengah, polisi menemukan lima mayat wanita. Seorang petugas keamanan mengatakan mereka diduga dibunuh dua atau tiga minggu lalu. Terjadi juga serangan-serangan belum lama ini terhadap wanita-wanita yang dituduh melanggar adat istiadat Islam. (Ant/AFP/AP/es) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Penindasan terhadap TKI
http://www.analisadaily.com/index.php?option=com_contentview=articleid=59101:penindasan-terhadap-tkicatid=78:umumItemid=131 Penindasan terhadap TKI Oleh : Edward Silaban Berita penyiksaan, pemerkosaan, penembakan bahkan pembunuhan terhadap Tenaga Kerja Indonesia (TKI) seolah-olah tidak melanggar Hak Asasi Manusia. Kondisi inilah yang dialami TKI yang berada di luar negeri. Berbagai motif pembenaran dilakukan sang majikan untuk meluluskan perbuatan tersebut. Dengan mengubur berita buruk tentang kasus yang menimpa TKI. Hal ini membuat kesulitan bagi pemerintah untuk memecahkan problema yang dialami TKI. Terbukti, kasus yang menimpa TKI terus berlanjut hingga sekarang belum tuntas. Sebelum membahas lebih lanjut tentang masalah TKI, kita perlu merenung. Mengapa negara terus mengirim TKI ke luar negeri dalam kondisi yang tidak dilindungi? Harus diakui, terjadinya pengiriman ini sebagai bukti negara telah gagal menciptakan lapangan kerja bagi warga negaranya. Keadaan negara yang sedang diganggu oleh berbagai kasus internal (kasus bank century, kasus perpajakan dan kasus lain yang seiring waktu semakin bertambah) menyebabkan perhatian terhadap TKI semakin redup. Apapun alasan pemerintah, nasib warga negara harus tetap diperjuangkan karena tujuan negara didirikan untuk mensejahterakan masyarakat. Nasib TKI merupakan tanggung jawab pemerintah untuk melindunginya. Jumlah TKI yang bekerja di luar negeri menurut catatan Kementerian Tenaga Kerja dan Transmigrasi (Kemenakertrans) antara lain: Malaysia sebanyak 1,2 juta, Arab Saudi sebanyak 927.500 orang, Singapore sebanyak 80.150 orang, Yordania sebanyak 38.000 orang, Bahrain sebanyak 6.500 orang, Kuwait sebanyak 6.100 orang, UEA sebanyak 51.350 orang, Qatar sebanyak 24.586 orang, Taiwan sebanyak 130.000 orang, Hongkong sebanyak 120.000 orang, dan Brunai Darussalam sebanyak 40.450 orang. Kiriman uang dari TKI yang bekerja di luar negeri sebesar 62 Triliun (Kompas, 02 Juni 2010). Setelah melihat besaran nominal dari pemasukan TKI ke kas negara tentu suatu kebanggaan besar bagi pemerintah. Banyaknya TKI yang diberangkatkan ke luar negeri menjadi andalan besar negara Indonesia untuk meraup keuntungan. Dengan banyaknya kiriman uang yang masuk ke kas negara sebagai upah keringat TKI, maka layaklah mereka disebut sebagai pahlawan devisa negara. Pahlawan devisa negara seharusnya mendapat perlindungan layaknya seorang pahlawan. Aneka Macam Penindasan TKI selalu menjadi korban tertindas dari oknum yang tidak bertanggung jawab. Baik pemerintah sebagai pihak pengirim maupun majikan tempat TKI bekerja merupakan pelaku penindasan. Seandainya pemerintah merasakan derita yang dialami TKI pastilah negara akan berpihak kepada TKI. Sejauh ini kebijakan dibidang pengiriman TKI belumlah mendapat perlindungan hukum. Semua kebijakan yang dikeluarkan atau yang disepakati Indonesia dengan negara luar hanya sebatas diatas kertas. Seringkali kebijakan yang ada menjadi ancaman bagi TKI dalam memperoleh haknya sebagai pekerja. Perjalanan hidup TKI tiada hari tanpa penindasan, bahkan penyiksaan sudah menjadi bumbu kehidupan. Hidup senang hanyalah mimpi buruk bagi TKI yang tidak pernah tercapai. Ternyata pengorbanan mereka terhadap bangsa dan negara tidak sebanding dengan perlakuan yang diterima. Terbukti, banyaknya TKI yang bermasalah di luar negeri. Kondisi ini diperparah dengan kasus yang menimpa TKI diluar negeri tidak pernah diselesaikan oleh pemerintah. Banyak TKI yang mendapat perlakuan tidak manusiawi dari majikan tempat kerja selalu dibungkam. Kalau ditabulasi, masalah yang dialami TKI sangat beragam mulai dari penyiksaan, pemerkosaan, penembakan bahkan pembunuhan. Kasus kekerasan terhadap TKI pada sektor rumah tangga yang dialami oleh Siti Hajar pada pertengahan tahun 2009. Kasus terhadap Munti tenaga kerja asal Jawa Timur. Pembantu rumah tangga ini di kurung di kamar mandi hingga tewas. Kasus pemerkosaan yang dialami pembantu rumah tangga kemudian tubuhnya disetrika majikannya karena dituduh terlambat mengangkat telepon. Bukan hanya itu ternyata masih banyak kasus lainnya yang terungkap karena dikubur di negeri tempat TKI bekerja. Semua penindasan yang dialami TKI sebagai bukti bahwa pemerintah belum berpihak padaTKI. Terjadinya penderitaan terhadap TKI tidak terlepas dari persiapan yang tidak matang sebelum TKI diberangkatkan ke luar negeri. Permasalahan pokok yang menimpa TKI ternyata berasal dari internal (dalam negeri) meliputi: Pertama, rekrutmen TKI yang tidak resmi. Untuk perekrutan pemerintah memberikan kebebasan kepada calo atau sponsor untuk mencari calon TKI yang akan diberangkatkan ke luar negeri. Hal ini akan menjadi dampak terhadap penindasan terhadap TKI. Para Sponsor tidak pernah memperhatikan keadaan calon TKI mulai dari keterampilan kerja, keadaan fisik dan usia. Artinya, pengiriman TKI tidak melalui

[wanita-muslimah] Hard-line groups hold Islamic congress in Bekasi
http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2010/06/20/hardline-groups-hold-islamic-congress-bekasi.html Hard-line groups hold Islamic congress in Bekasi Hasyim Widhiarto, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Sun, 06/20/2010 2:57 PM | Jakarta FPI: (JP/R. Berto Wedhatama)A number of Islamic hard-line groups in Bekasi kicked off Sunday a two-day joint congress, with the main agenda to discuss about Christianization issue in the city. The congress, held on Sunday in Bunga Karang Hotel and next Sunday in Bekasi Islamic Center, is attended by 200 people representing non government-linked Islamic groups in the city, including the Islam Defender Front (FPI), the Bekasi Movement Against Apostates and the Islamic Ummah Forum. The congress will try to produce a guideline for Bekasi Muslims and local government in dealing with Christianization problem in the city, head of FPI's Bekasi chapter Murhali Barda told The Jakarta Post. We will then propose the guideline to the local administration, but it is their right to refuse or accept it. Rapid development in industry and housing sectors has turned Bekasi, located in the outskirts of Jakarta, into a more culturally and religiously diverse city, making it vulnerable to a religious-triggered conflict which mainly involved Muslims and Christians. Last month, a Christian school was attacked by a group of people after a former student of the school allegedly posted a picture showing him putting Koran in a toilet in the school's blog. On Saturday, the Bekasi municipal administration finally decided to tear down a 17-meter Tiga Mojang (Three Ladies) statue in Kota Harapan Indah residential complex, following a series of protest from the hard-line groups which called the newly-erected statue as obscene and symbolizing the Christian's Trinity concept.

[wanita-muslimah] Tifatul chided for linking sex tape scandal to crucifixion
http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2010/06/19/tifatul-chided-linking-sex-tape-scandal-crucifixion.html Tifatul chided for linking sex tape scandal to crucifixion Erwida Maulia, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Sat, 06/19/2010 9:43 AM | Headlines Communications and Information Technology Minister Tifatul Sembiring has spent most of the past two days fending off an onslaught of Twitter attacks after he compared a sex tape controversy to the theological debate between Christians and Muslims about the death of Jesus Christ. He said Thursday during a breakfast meeting at his office that the public debate over the sex tapes featuring people resembling singer Nazril Ariel Irham, TV presenter Luna Maya and celebrity Cut Tari was like the dispute between Muslims, who believe that Jesus Christ was not crucified but rather that someone resembling him was, and Christians, who believe that Jesus Christ was crucified. The celebrities have claimed the persons in the sex videos are not them. Tifatul said that confirming the identity of the persons in the tapes was very important to avoid adverse impacts in the future like those emerging from the different views of Muslims and Christians. He did not elaborate on the impacts of the theological discord between the world's two largest religions. One Twitter message directed at the minister from the account @Williamalwijaya asked: What is the relationship between Ariel and the Catholic followers of God? Were you drunk when you said that?. Tifatul tweeted back, You had better not quote people's words partially, that makes you look like a drunk person. Tifatul also wrote to another of his Twitter criticizers, @artjie, I'm explaining the point of view of Muslims on Prophet Isa and of the Christians on Jesus Christ, you can ask theologists about this. He also tried to clarify the context of his statements to @nafaurbach by saying, Muslims believe that Prophet Isa wasn't crucified, that it was someone 'resembling' him, while Christians believe that Jesus Christ was crucified. A Catholic priest from the Indonesian Bishops Council, Father Beni Susetyo, said that as a public official, Tifatul Sembiring should not compare a pornography scandal to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, because it could hurt the feelings of believers. There is no connection between pornography and the crucifixion of Jesus Christ at all, he told The Jakarta Post. He criticized the minister for showing a lack of appreciation for beliefs other than his own in such a diverse country as Indonesia. This is the second time that Tifatul has sparked a controversy on Twitter. In April, he tweeted a quote from Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. He wrote, The union between two children, when both of them complete each other, this is magic - Adolf Hitler. This posting drew the ire of many members of the public, who complained the minister had shown a lack of respect for the millions of people killed in the genocide perpetrated under Nazi leadership during World War II.

[wanita-muslimah] Arabs back Algeria, pray for victory against US
http://arabnews.com/sports/article69032.ece Arabs back Algeria, pray for victory against US Algeria's players Karim Matmour (R) Madjid Bougherra (L) acknowledge cheers from the crowd after the team held England to a scoreless draw Friday in Cape Town, South Africa. EPA) By OPHEERA MCDOOM | REUTERS Published: Jun 19, 2010 18:34 Updated: Jun 19, 2010 18:42 JOHANNESBURG: Arabs were flying the Algerian flag on Saturday after the only North African team kept its hopes alive of qualifying for the next round by holding favorites England to a World Cup draw. Algeria will face the United States on Wednesday in Pretoria, a game Arabs said they would be watching keenly, not just because of the soccer, but because they will be wishing for an Arab victory against the superpower. If not in politics or economics, then soccer will do. We want to win against the USA - if we can't beat them politically or economically then at least we can do it in football, said Libyan sports commentator Mohamed Barakat. While Washington is politically allied with many Middle East governments, Arabs have long complained that US policy in the region is behind their conflicts and economic woes. Urging support The US-led invasion of Iraq added to a widespread anti-American sentiment. Pan-Arab and Muslim groups on social networking site Facebook appeared urging support for Algeria. Algerian flags were flying in the streets of Sudan's capital, Khartoum, the venue where they qualified for their first World Cup in 24 years. One Lebanese paper said Algeria embarrassed the England team on Friday in Cape Town. Arab nations do not enjoy a prestigious history in international soccer, but many say this young Algerian team, many of whom play in European clubs, could change this trend. Most expected England to thrash Algeria, dogged by injuries and without a leading striker. But after a lackluster 90 minutes they managed to frustrate any attempt to score, forcing a 0-0 draw which angered England fans who booed their team. Even some Egyptians were able to forget their bitter loss to Algeria, which denied the African champions a place in the first World Cup finals on African soil in a grudge match marred by violence and which sparked a diplomatic crisis between the two nations. I want Algeria to win the game because it is the only Arab team left in the World Cup, said Egyptian taxi driver Mahmoud Bassiyouny. One Egyptian security official said: If (Algeria) ... wins against the Americans it can move into the next round - it would be an honor for Arabs. Algeria was unlucky to lose its first match against Slovenia 1-0 because of a goalkeeper error after dominating play. Key striker Abdelkader Ghezzal was also sent off, barring him from the England match too. All eyes will now be on the upcoming match against the US team. A win could create an upset and propel Algeria to the last 16. But many will not care about the soccer. I am 100 hundred percent cheering against the Americans because they are the reason for all of our problems, said 35-year-old Lebanese Fadia Khalil, on a beach near Beirut. Sudanese Samir Eltayeb said the match would be tense for more than just the sport. To play England it's about the football, to play America it's more than that. For Algeria to beat the USA it will be brilliant for any Arab anywhere in the world - even the Egyptians. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

[wanita-muslimah] Harta Senayan dan Kemayoran
http://www.mediaindonesia.com/read/2010/06/06/149516/70/13/Harta-Senayan-dan-Kemayoran Harta Senayan dan Kemayoran Kamis, 17 Juni 2010 00:01 WIB NEGARA memiliki aset yang amat berharga di kawasan Gelora Bung Karno di Senayan. Negara juga mempunyai aset strategis di kawasan Kemayoran. Keduanya berada di wilayah Jakarta. Tetapi aset yang berada di kawasan mahal itu, ternyata tidak memberi keuntungan sepadan, bahkan sangat timpang kepada negara. Aset di Senayan dengan nilai di atas Rp50 triliun hanya menghasilkan pendapatan bagi negara (bukan pajak) Rp15 miliar per tahun. Adapun di Kemayoran, yang bernilai Rp25 triliun, menyumbang pendapatan bagi negara cuma Rp20 miliar per tahun. Padahal di kawasan Senayan telah berdiri pusat-pusat bisnis terkenal yang meraup keuntungan besar. Ada hotel mewah, ada kawasan perbelanjaan modern, dan tempat hiburan. Demikian pula di Kemayoran. Kasus Senayan dan Kemayoran memperlihatkan betapa buruknya pengelolaan aset negara. Untuk sebagian aset memang buruk karena ditelantarkan, tetapi yang lain ternyata buruk karena aset-aset negara itu menjadi rezeki yang masuk ke kantong-kantong pejabat. Senayan dan Kemayoran adalah dua contoh aset bagus yang menjadi buruk karena persekongkolan antara yang berkuasa dan pemilik modal. Persekongkolan itu demikian kuatnya sehingga negara tetap saja tidak mampu memaksakan keuntungan yang memadai. Seorang anggota DPR yang pernah mengepalai panitia kerja tentang aset negara mendapatkan indikasi bahwa pajak yang harus masuk ke kas negara lenyap di kantong para pejabat termasuk para istri. Kementerian Sekretariat Negara sebagai pihak yang mengelola aset Gelora Bung Karno berkeinginan untuk berunding ulang dengan semua pihak ketiga yang berbisnis di atas lahan negara. Keinginan ini sesungguhnya tidak baru. Ketika Yusril Ihza Mahendra menjadi Menteri Sekretaris Negara, dia pernah melakukan hal yang sama, tetapi mentok karena persekongkolan kuat dan rapi yang menjalar sampai antarlembaga. Ada dugaan bahwa aset-aset di Senayan dan Kemayoran telah berubah peruntukan dari milik negara menjadi milik para pemodal. Inilah yang harus dibuka dan diusut tuntas. Tidak sebatas manipulasi pendapatan negara, tetapi juga manipulasi kepemilikan. Banyak sekali aset negara yang jatuh ke tangan pihak ketiga secara tidak wajar. Di antaranya melalui manipulasi dokumen. Yang paling rapi adalah melalui modus gugatan di pengadilan. Pemerintah selaku pemilik aset bermain mata dengan pemilik modal lalu bersengketa. Dengan jaringan mafia yang merentang sampai ke lembaga yudikatif, sengketa akal-akalan itu dengan mulus dimenangi pihak ketiga. Contohnya adalah aset berharga Kantor Wali Kota Jakarta Barat yang dengan gampang berpindah tangan ke investor. Negara, memang, boleh saja bekerja sama dengan pihak ketiga mengelola aset-asetnya. Bahkan boleh menjual aset itu. Yang tidak boleh terjadi adalah aset-aset negara dijadikan bisnis pejabat dan kroni-kroni di birokrasi sehingga negara kehilangan pendapatan yang sangat besar. Praktik kotor ini berkembang subur karena hampir semua sistem di negeri ini manipulatif. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Pendidikan tidak Kenal Eksklusif Berdasarkan Kekayaan
Refleksi : Apa komentar pembaca? http://www.mediaindonesia.com/read/2010/06/06/150245/88/14/Pendidikan_tidak_Kenal_Eksklusif_Berdasarkan_Kekayaan Mendiknas: Pendidikan tidak Kenal Eksklusif Berdasarkan Kekayaan Minggu, 20 Juni 2010 13:57 WIB Penulis : Bagus Suryo MALANG--MI: Menteri Pendidikan Nasional (Mendiknas) Mohammad Nuh menyatakan di dunia pendidikan tidak boleh ada eksklusif yang didasarkan pada kekayaan terkait rintisan sekolah berstandar internasional (RSBI). Tetapi kalau eksklusivitas atas dasar kemampuan akademik itu boleh, kata Mendiknas menjawab pertanyaan Media Indonesia soal RSBI usai melantik Rektor Universitas Brawijaya Yogi Sugito periode 2010-2014 di Kota Malang, Jawa Timur, Sabtu (19/6). Itu sebabnya untuk mengetahui apakah RSBI sekarang sudah berjalan dengan baik atau justru eksklusif didasarkan pada kekayaan dan status sosial orang tua siswa, maka pemerintah akan melakukan evaluasi. Empat parameter untuk mengevaluasi RSBI, antara lain, akuntabilitas, capaian akademik, proses rekrutmen, dan melihat persyaratan sumber daya manusia, dan sarana prasarana. Proses rekrutmen RSBI akan dilihat apakah menerapkan persyaratan akademik atau justru rekrutmen berdasarkan yang kaya diterima sedangkan yang miskin tidak diterima, tegasnya. Ia menegaskan, RSBI harus dilanjutkan karena amanah Undang-undang Sistem Pendidikan Nasional. Pasal 50 ayat 3 UU itu menyebutkan pemerintah dan pemerintah daerah sekurang-kurangnya atau paling tidak menyelenggarakan jenjang pendidikan berstandar internasional. Bila tidak dilaksanakan, maka pemerintah dianggap salah, ujarnya. Ia menegaskan siswa dari keluarga miskin mendapatkan kesempatan yang sama untuk masuk RSBI dengan catatan berprestasi.Pada kesempatan itu Mendiknas mengomentari penggunaan istilah kasta baru di dunia pendidikan yang kerap digunakan akhir-akhir ini terkait RSBI. Kasta adalah perbedaan yang didasarkan pada prinsip primordial. Tetapi kalau perbedaan atas dasar prestasi, apa itu kasta? Kita sering menggunakan kata yang tidak tepat, ujarnya. Pantauan pengaduan masyarakat terkait pendaftaran siswa baru (PSB) yang dilakukan Forum Masyarakat Peduli Pendidikan (FMPP) hingga saat ini sudah ada tujuh pengaduan. Empat pengaduan di antaranya terkait RSBI. Terdapat dua orang tua siswa mengaku minder ketika akan mendaftarkan anaknya masuk RSBI. Alasannya biaya pendidikan sekolah itu mahal. Warga Kecamatan Sukun dan Blimbing itu bekerja sebagai buruh pabrik. Karenanya, orang tua dari siswa berprestasi dengan nilai ujian nasional hampir mendekati 37,00 itu mengaku tidak sanggup membayar mahalnya SPP RSBI Rp250 ribu per bulan dan Sumbangan Biaya Penunjang Pendidikan (SBPP) Rp5 juta. Kedua warga yang mengadu itu mengatakan tidak punya uang bila disuruh membayar sebanyak itu. Akhirnya mereka memutuskan tidak mendaftarkan anaknya di RSBI, kata Koordinator Badan Pekerja Malang Corruption Watch Zia Ulhaq. MCW dalam waktu dekat ini akan mengupayakan orang tua siswa dari keluarga miskin agar mendapatkan kemudahan dalam membayar sekolah anaknya. Salah satu cara yang akan ditempuh adalah menyurati pihak sekolah terkait hal itu dan mendampingi orang tua saat daftar ulang di sekolah.

Sebanyak 65% alokasi itu dilakukan melalui seleksi penerimaan mahasiswa baru (SPMB) gelombang I dan II yang merupakan ujian lokal Unsoed serta program penelusuran siswa berprestasi (PPSB). Humas Unsoed Heru Buntiyadi mengakui persentasi calon mahasiswa lewat SNMPTN lebih sedikit dibandingkan dengan non-SNMPTN. Alasannya, Unsoed memberikan kesempatan lebih besar kepada calon mahasiswa di sekitar Unsoed. Prosesnya sama tetap menggunakan ujian tulis, hanya yang berbeda adalah PPSB yang memakai persyaratan prestasi rapor selama bersekolah di SMA. Perbedaan lainnya adalah dalam besaran bantuan operasional pendidikan dan pembangunan (BOPP), kata Heru, Rabu (16/6). Calon mahasiswa yang diterima melalui SNMPTN akan dimintai BOPP lebih rendah jika dibandingkan dengan calon mahasiswa non-SNMPTN, terutama yang masuk melalui ujian lokal. Sebagai contoh untuk masuk Fakultas Kedokteran jurusan Pendidikan Dokter, calon mahasiswa akan dimintai sumbangan sekitar Rp40 juta hingga Rp50 juta bagi yang diterima melalui SNMPTN. Kalau melalui jalur SPMB lokal, ada empat pilihan BOPP yakni Rp50 juta, Rp100 juta, Rp150 juta hingga Rp200 juta. Memang ada perbedaan sumbangan BOPP, jelasnya.

[wanita-muslimah] Iranians biggest drug smugglers to Indonesia
http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2010/06/20/iranians-biggest-drug-smugglers-indonesia.html Iranians biggest drug smugglers to Indonesia The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Sun, 06/20/2010 5:30 PM | National The Indonesian government has said that Iranian nationals are the most common smugglers of class-A drugs into the country as of January this year. Malaysians were the next-highest group, with eight suspects arrested so far this year, followed by India with six suspects, tempointeraktif.com reported. The Customs and Excise Office at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Tangerang, Banten, has arrested 15 Iranian nationals this year linked to 22 cases. It has also seized a total 115 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine, locally known as shabu-shabu), ketamine, heroin, cocaine and marijuana. All of the evidence together is worth Rp 278 billion (US$30.5 million) at market value, the office's head Baduri Wijayanta said Sunday. All of the arrested Iranian smugglers were believed to be part of an Iran-based international drug syndicate, he added. The office's head of prosecutions Gatot Sugeng Wibowo said the Iran-based drug mafia might not have been aware that Indonesia enforced the death penalty for drug smuggling. The 2009 Narcotics Law carries the death penalty and a Rp 10 billion fine for anyone in possession of more than 5 grams of drugs. Related News a..

[wanita-muslimah] Iran hangs Sunni group leader
http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2010/06/201062034410244183.html Sunday, June 20, 2010 14:00 Mecca time, 11:00 GMT Iran hangs Sunni group leader Rigi was arrested by intelligence officials in February while on a flight [AFP] The leader of Jundallah, the armed Iranian Sunni Muslim group, has been hanged, the official Irna news agency reported. After the decision of the Tehran revolutionary tribunal, Abdulmalek Rigi was hanged on Sunday morning, Irna said. It quoted a court statement as saying: The head of the armed counter-revolutionary group in the east of the country ... was responsible for armed robbery, assassination attempts, armed attacks on the army and police and on ordinary people, and murder. Irna said Rigi had been sentenced to be executed in the presence of families of some of the victims of his group's violent attacks in Iran's southeast. The court statement said Jundallah (Soldiers of God) was responsible for the killing of 154 security personnel and civilians since 2003. [Rigi] collaborated and ordered 15 armed abductions, confessed to three murders, ordered the murders of tens of citizens, police and military personnel through bombings and armed actions, the statement read. 'Severe blow' Rigi was arrested in February by Iranian intelligence agents when an aircraft he was on en route from Dubai to Kyrgyzstan was forced to land in Tehran. Al Jazeera's Alireza Ronaghi, reporting from Tehran, said the execution of Rigi was a severe blow to Jundallah. In depth Profile: Iran's Sunni rebels Focus: Sistan-Baluchestan Video: Jundallah leader executed Iran's Guards under attack Iranian authorities [say] that an order has been issued, a kind of a pardon, to all the members of Jundallah who put down their weapons and come ask for forgiveness, he said. We hear that more than 200 members of Jundallah have already done that after Abdolmalek was arrested. [The members] were his true followers and did whatever he wanted them to do. Now that he's gone they may have a lot of doubt in continuing his path. Just days after Rigi was arrested, the group said it had appointed Muhammad Dhahir Baluch as its new leader. Baluch issued a statement saying the government would face a movement that is stronger and much more solid than ever before. But Mahjoob Zweiri, an expert in Iranian affairs at Qatar University, said the group no longer represented a major threat. Now, four months after his [Rigi's] capture there was nothing, he told Al Jazeera. No statement, no announcement, no activity. So there is a big question mark about the ability of this group to act. Rigi's younger brother Abdulhamid was executed last month. Iran has repeatedly said that Jundallah is backed by the United States. The US has dismissed these claims as propaganda.

http://www.tehrantimes.com/NCms/2007.asp?code=221722 www.tehrantimes.com June 20, 2010 Terrorist leader Abdolmalek Rigi hanged Tehran Times Political Desk TEHRAN - Jundallah terrorist leader Abdolmalek Rigi was hanged at Evin prison in Tehran early Sunday at the presence of a number of families whose loved ones had been martyred by his notorious group.

The plane landed at Bandar Abbas Airport, where Rigi and his aide were arrested. The terrorist leader met families of those killed by his notorious group on Saturday. He answered questions raised by the families and asked them to forgive him.

[wanita-muslimah] Ex-Guantanamo inmates 'fail rehab'
http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2010/06/201062013047249951.html Sunday, June 20, 2010 17:33 Mecca time, 14:33 GMT Ex-Guantanamo inmates 'fail rehab' The US is still holding 13 Saudis at its prison facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba [EPA] About 25 former Guantanamo Bay detainees have returned to violence after going through a rehabilitation programme in Saudi Arabia, a senior Saudi official has said. Abdulrahman al-Hadlaq, the director of the interior ministry's ideological security administration, said on Saturday that about 20 per cent of the 120 repatriated former prisoners have returned to radical activity after graduation from a rehab centre in Riyadh, the Saudi capital. It's about a 9.5-per cent relapse for all 300 Saudi men, including fighters arrested by Saudi authorities, who have undergone a programme at what is known as the Care Centre, al-Hadlaq said. But it's more than 20 [per cent] among Guantanamo guys. General Mansour al-Turki, the interior ministry spokesman, said that 10 or 11 of those released are believed to have re-joined al-Qaeda in Yemen. Another four have been killed in operations against al-Qaeda and the remainder have been rearrested, al-Turki said. Religious re-education The men were held at the US detention centre in Guantanamo Bay, Cubaafter Washington launched its so-called War on Terror following the September 11, 2001 attacks on the US. Most of the September 11 suicide hijackers were of Saudi nationality. Three former Guantanamo detainees currently remain in the Saudi programme, which uses religious re-education by clerics and financial assistance to help detainees start a new life. About 300 people have gone through the programme, which was established in response to attacks by al-Qaeda in Saudi Arabia from 2003 to 2006. Al-Hadlaq cited strong personal ties among former Guantanamo prisonersand tough US tactics as the reason why some of the former detainees relapsed into violence. Those guys from other groups didn't suffer torture before the non-Guantanamo [participants], al-Hadlaq told reporters in a rare briefing about Saudi anti-terrorism efforts. Torturing is the most dangerous thing in radicalisation. You have more extremist people if you have more torture. However, al-Hadlaq said that the programme had been a success so far and that the government was still planning to expand it with new facilities in five cities. Another 13 Saudis are still held in Guantanamo Bay. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Don't Think About Turkey
http://www.aawsat.com/english/news.asp?section=2id=21341 Don't Think About Turkey 18/06/2010 By Mshari Al-Zaydi Ever since a detachment of Israeli troops stormed the Turkish aid ship the Mavi Marmara that was part of the Freedom Flotilla bound for Gaza, and which resulted in Israeli troops killing a number of activists, dozens of newspaper articles and television talk shows in the Arab world have followed up on this issue. I studied a portion of this media response, the majority of which went down the path of weeping and wailing and insulting Israel and insulting those who failed to insult Israel. Some newspapers and writers even began a witch hunt against those who dealt with this issue and analyzed it with calmness and composure. The argument was that some people did not sufficiently support the Freedom Flotilla and those on board, and did not completely and unequivocally take their side, as if everybody who is involved in the profession of writing should have dropped everything to become a weeping protestor, or even take up arms [against Israel]. This is despite the fact that we have indeed been doing this for almost a century. Personally, I did not write about Gaza and the Freedom Flotilla crisis because of urgent concerns, however this has given me an opportunity to reflect upon what has been written in the press and stated on our television screens about what happened. In order not to be misunderstood - as usual - I would like to first say that the debate is not about the moral description of Israel's actions. This was a crime, nothing less, and I do not think that anybody with any conscience could disagree with this description. There is also nothing wrong - in fact it is perfectly natural - for people to protest in solidarity with the victims of this crime, and against its perpetrators. This is normal human behavior and a spontaneous response. The media outlets that covered this response were obligated to do so as part of their professional duty, namely to report and comment on news stories, and this is something that is carried out by all media outlets around the world. There is nothing to worry about even if some opinion articles echo these protestors and their anger, especially as we are generally known to belong to an emotional and expressive culture in which resounding rhetoric plays an important role. In fact, some people look upon writing as a kind of general jihad. The problem starts when some writers grow annoyed at our attempts to analyze and question the reasons behind the recent Turkish behaviour, and the behaviour of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. For example, there was Erdogan's walk-out at the World Economic Forum in Davos more than a year ago following an angry exchange with Israeli President Shimon Peres, and he has also made repeated references to Turkey's greatness and its new regional role. Erdogan has also publicly acknowledged his country's relationship with the Hamas organization and others, opposed international sanctions against Iran, and cooperated - along with Brazilian President [Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva] - with Iran to this effect, not to mention the Freedom Flotilla and Erdogan's - carefully planned, of course - inflammatory speech against Israel. All of this represents a new shift in Turkey's foreign policy; however on closer look this shift is not completely new. Secular Turkish officials have been issuing statements in support of the Palestinian Cause since 1967, as the writer Adel al-Turaifi explained in an analytical article on Turkey's transformation published by Asharq Al-Awsat last Wednesday. In this article, al-Turaifi said that Erdogan's use of Palestinian issues as a means to exert international pressure for Turkish policies represents something new. This represents a startling transformation in a pivotal country that represents one of the pillars in the Middle East, and which has an important historical and political heritage, as well as economic strength, and strategic importance to the US and the West. In that case, wouldn't such a transformation call for careful analysis and examination, or should we just blindly applaud Erdogan for fear of being branded apathetic or traitors? The duty of any writer is to think outside of the box, to turn things over in his mind and try to view the situation from a different angle, this is not out of a love for going against the mainstream but out of a desire to see the bigger picture, rather than just one corner of the picture that only reveals a fragment of the truth. Is Turkey's Ottoman history behind Ankara's current shift in foreign policy or is this motivated by a desire to spite Europe for its reluctance to admit Turkey into the European Union? Is this new foreign policy stimulated by Turkey's perception of Iran's political isolation and the Arab's weak presence and Ankara's resultant fear of the imbalance of powers
[wanita-muslimah] Bitter pill for Muslim women
http://www.asiasentinel.com/index.php?option=com_contenttask=viewid=2542Itemid=199 Bitter pill for Muslim women Written by Mariam Mokhtar Friday, 18 June 2010 Slow progress for Muslim women despite the 50th anniversary of The Pill In May, The Pill celebrated its 50th anniversary and counted up enormous accomplishments in terms of improved women's health, falling birth mortality and improved professional and personal status for women, not to mention sexual satisfaction. But in the 50 years since it was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in the United States and swept much of the planet, the lack of birth control methods in the Muslim world - and a misconception that birth control is forbidden by Islam -- have prevented many women from controlling their family size. Although Islam has endorsed conception for 1,400 years, many Muslim countries across the planet have the lowest rates of birth control, according to the United Nations Population Fund, despite the fact that Muslim women want fewer children and know about contraception. There is an apparent discrepancy between Islamic theological opinion and the real lives of Muslim women. It is the marginal status of women in Muslim countries, not Islamic law, that prevents women from obtaining contraception, according to Khadijah Knight of Amana, a London-based Islamic education organization: Birth control is often presented as a religious question, as a way of subjugating women. Islamic family planning is quite rudimentary. Theoretically premarital relations are forbidden. Sex before and outside of marriage are viewed harshly. Sexual relations between a wife and husband form the ideal expression of love, not just procreation. Nonetheless, either with the pill or without it, many Muslim countries have slashed their fertility rates dramatically, Indonesia and Pakistan among them. Pakistan has reduced its fertility rate from six or seven children per woman to 2.48 per woman. And ddespite the problems that Muslim women face in many other countries, Indonesia, the world's fourth most populous nation, has been making considerable gains in family planning. Some 88 percent of Indonesia's 320 million population are Muslim. The country's National Family Planning Coordinating Board coordinates all of its family planning needs under the Ministry of Health. Indonesia's contraceptive usage tripled in 27 years (1976, 19 percent; 2003, 60.3 percent). Total fertility decreased by more than 50 percent in 35 years (1968, 5.6 births per woman; 2003, 2.4). In 2003, 60.3 percent of married women used contraception and 13.2 percent were on the pill. In 2007, the NFPCB drafted a handbook for the ulemas to further disseminate its family planning program. In a Family Health International (FHI) study conducted in Indonesia, women with only one or two children reported feeling greater satisfaction than those with more than two children. They also felt more attractive, with more free time to devote to family, work or other interests. Malaysia ironically had a strong family planning program in the 1960s, with the main method of contraception being the pill. By 1967, the Family Planning Board had reached 90 percent of its target. One of the pioneers instrumental in driving the family planning message was Dr. Siti Hasmah, the wife of former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, also a physician. But in the Second Malaysia Plan of 1971-1975, the New Economic Policy was introduced to tackle the problem of Malay poverty. Efforts to promote family planning were hampered by government neglect and inadequate facilities and personnel. The government considered family planning a sensitive topic and so ignored it. Then in 1984, Mahathir reversed the National Population Policy completely, setting a target of 70 million Malaysians by 2100 at a time when the country's population stood 12.6 million. His aim, to make Malaysia a fully industrialized and developed nation by 2020, required Malaysians to contribute to the economy by increasing both their production and their reproduction, an economic theory that most planners found to be irrational. The result was that the birth-rate among the rural and poorer Malay women increased, while their Contraceptive Prevalence Rate dropped sharply, according to the Malaysian Population and Family Survey of 1984-85. Today, birth control is hit-and-miss, carried out largely and often surreptitiously by women who do not want any more children. Abortion pills like RU486 are widely available, known colloquially in Malaysia as pil cuci benih. Norma, a 29 year-old housewife who lives in a Kuala Lumpur suburb with her husband and their four children, is a product of this change in policy. She is of slight build and looks old for her age. Her husband works as a bus-driver and she is aware that if she doesn't budget carefully, she would have to pawn more of her jewelry to feed her

In parts of southern and eastern Afghanistan, particularly in Taliban strongholds, schools for girls still remain closed. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Patung Tiga Mojang Kota Harapan Indah Dibongkar
Refleksi :Selain pantung Tiga Moyang, apakah candi-candi dan patung-patung lainnya mempunya izin dan oleh karena itu tidak akan dihancurkan? Ataukah hanya waktu yang akan memberitakan kapan mereka mengalami nasib yang sama? http://www.tempointeraktif.com/hg/tata_kota/2010/06/19/brk,20100619-256675,id.html Patung Tiga Mojang Kota Harapan Indah Dibongkar Sabtu, 19 Juni 2010 | 13:46 WIB TEMPO Interaktif, Bekasi - Patung tiga mojang yang menjadi simbol Kota Harapan Indah, dibongkar Dinas Pentaan dan Pengawasan Bangunan (P2B) Pemerintah Kota Bekasi, Jawa Barat, Sabtu (19/6). Patung tersebut dinilai tidak berizin, dan menimbulkan banyak protes warga khususnya ormas Islam. Direktur Operasional PT Hasana Damai Putera (HDP) Fredy Yanto, mengatakan terpaksa menurunkan patung karya pemahat ternama Nyoman Nuarta, itu atas instruksi langsung Wali Kota Bekasi Mochtar Mohamad. Melalui surat Nomor 300/1118-set/V/2010, tertanggal 17 Mei 2010 lalu. Dalam surat itu dijelaskan atas alasan keamanan akhir-akhir ini, sehingga kami diminta membongkar patung tersebut, kata Fredy, kepada Tempo, Sabtu siang. Tinggi patung tiga mojang mencapai 19 meter, terbuat dari perunggu senilai Rp 5 miliar. Patung tersebut menampilkan tiga sosok wanita berpakaian seksi berdiri membentuk segitiga. Sejak sebulan lalu, patung tersebut menuai banyak protes. Warga marah karena patung tersebut menyalahi nilai-nilai masyarakat Kota Bekasi yang agamis. Puncak kemarahan warga ketika terjadi kasus penistaan agama yang dilakukan oleh Felix, alumni Sekolah Santo Bellarminus, Pondok Gede, Kota Bekasi. Sejumlah ormas Islam di Bekasi beberapa kali menggelar aksi demonstrasi menuntut pelaku penistaan agama dihukum berat. Tutuntan berkembang, ormas Islam mendesak supaya patung tiga mojang yang menampilkan tiga wanita nyaris telanjang itu dirobohkan. Menurut Fredy, tidak akan melakukan upaya hukum terkait pembongkaran tersebut. Karena itu instruksi Wali Kota, kami tidak lagi mempermasalahkan, katanya. Pembongkaran patung tiga mojang dimulai sejak dini hari pukl 01.00, namun baru berhasil di angkat sekitar pukul 06.00 WIB. Memakai alat berat crane kobelko, tiga kawat besi diikatkan pada masing-masing sisi patung. Patung kemudian diangkat perlahan-lahan ke atas trailer. Untuk sementara, kata Fredy, patung tersebut diamankan di Kantor Polsek Medan Satria, yang tidak jauh dari lokasi pembongkaran. Selanjutnya, patung tersebut akan dijual. Saat ini, Fredy melanjutkan, sudah banyak pihak yang menawar patung tersebut, termasuk warga Australia. HAMLUDDIN [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Seekor Kambing di Tasikmalaya Makan Nasi dan Minum Kopi
Refleksi : Rupanya kambing Tasikmalaya ini tidak termasuk katagori kelas kambing. http://www.tempointeraktif.com/hg/bandung/2010/06/17/brk,20100617-256006,id.html Seekor Kambing di Tasikmalaya Makan Nasi dan Minum Kopi Kamis, 17 Juni 2010 | 09:17 WIB Besar Kecil Normal Foto: sxc.hu TEMPO Interaktif, Tasikmalaya - Kesan pertama tentu heran. Bagaimana jadinya bila seekor kambing yang biasanya makan rumput hijau justru makan makanan manusia. Namanya pun mirip manusia: Hengki. Kambing berusia empat tahun tersebut merupakan peliharaan Kurnia, 35 tahun, warga Kampung Sukaruji, Desa Sukaraja, Kecamatan Rajapolah, Kabupaten Tasikmalaya, Jawa Barat. Kambing gemuk ini sehari-hari justru melahap makanan layaknya makanan manusia seperti nasi, jajanan anak-anak, hingga minum kopi. Dalam keadaan tertentu, Hengki terpaksa makan dedaunan bila kondisi keuangan sang pemilik lagi minim. Kurnia, yang sehari-harinya bekerja sebagai kondektur bus, terpaksa merogoh kocek Rp 10 ribu untuk memberi makan kambing peliharaannya ini. Bahkan akibat tabiat anehnya itu, hampir semua warga kampung Sukaruji sudah mengenal baik Hengki. Sebab, Hengki memang suka dilepas. Kalau kebetulan ada makanan lebih, mereka dengan senang hati memberikannya kepada Hengki, ujar Kurnia, Kamis (17/6). Tapi terkadang si Hengki ini juga merepotkan. Itu kalau muncul ulah nakalnya, sering menyerobot warung untuk mengambil makanan. Akibat kelakuannya, Kurnia terpaksa harus merogoh kocek lebih untuk mengganti barang dagangan yang disikat Hengki kambing kesayangannya itu. Menurut Kurnia, makanan kesukaan Hengki sebagian besar berupa makanan anak-anak, seperti kue-kue kemasan dan kerupuk. Uniknya, Hengki tidak mau memakan makanan yang jatuh ke tanah atau sengaja dijilat dulu. Biasanya makanan yang sudah jatuh hanya dicium dan dijilat setelah itu ia tinggalkan, ujarnya. Tak hanya itu, Hengki pun sudah terbiasa mengonsumsi air kopi dua sampai tiga kali sehari. Air kopi yang diberikan tidak dijilat-jilat layaknya binatang saat minum namun langsung diseruput layaknya manusia minum, hingga tak jarang warga yang melihat tak tahan menahan tawa. Pokonya kelakuan makannya seperti manusia, ujar Kurnia. Jika dirata-rata, per hari si Hengki bisa menghabiskan Rp 10 ribu untuk jajanannya. Kebiasaan ini, lanjut Kurnia, diakuinya karena perlakukan berlebih dirinya terhadap kambing peliharaanya itu sejak pertama kali dibeli empat tahun lalu. Ia kerap memberikan perlakukan makan kambingnya itu layaknya menu makanan kepada manusia seperti memberikan nasi hingga mengonsumsi susu. Dulu tiap pagi diberi susu dan tidak jarang diberi nasi serta makanan manusia, termasuk jajanan, ujarnya Kurnia sambil senyum. Kurnia baru menyadari bila kambing peliharaannya memiliki perilaku makan layaknya manusia. Malah dalam beberapa kesempatan, Hengki kerap menolak ketika diberi makanan dedaunan ketika Kurnia tidak memiliki uang. Kalau seharian tidak diberi makanan manusia, ia baru mau memakan dedaunan. Tapi saya kasian melihatnya, ujar Kurnia. Kendati harus menghabiskan biaya makanan Rp 10 ribu per hari, Kurnia bertekad akan terus mengurus kambing kesayangannya itu. Apalagi istri dan anaknya tidak mempermasalahkan hal tersebut. Bahkan mereka pun turut menyayanginya, layaknya keluarga sendiri. Namun karena bau badannya sangat menyengat, si Hengki tetap saja ditempatkan pada kandang di belakang rumah. JAYADI SUPRIADIN [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Lembaga Latah
http://www.mediaindonesia.com/read/2010/06/18/149736/70/13/Lembaga-Latah Lembaga Latah Jumat, 18 Juni 2010 00:00 WIB NEGERI ini sudah mengalami inflasi kelatahan yang amat akut, terutama dalam soal membentuk lembaga. Nomenklatur kelatahan lembaga itu bermacam-macam. Ada badan, dewan, komisi, mahkamah, majelis, unit, satgas, atau komite. Sudah lebih dari 50 lembaga dibentuk dengan rupa-rupa tugas, tapi tidak satu pun tugas itu tuntas. Dan, dengan dalih menuntaskan agenda lembaga tersebut, dibentuklah lembaga baru. Persis seperti olok-olok yang berkembang di masyarakat, yakni negeri ini rajin membentuk panitia untuk segala perkara. Bahkan, untuk memadamkan api yang sudah berkobar-kobar, diperlukan membentuk panitia pemadaman dulu. Itu pula atmosfer yang mengiringi lahirnya dua lembaga baru, Komite Ekonomi Nasional yang disingkat KEN dan Komite Inovasi Nasional atau KIN. Keduanya dibentuk berdasarkan peraturan presiden. KEN didirikan dengan Perpres Nomor 31/2010. Dengan diketuai pengusaha Chairul Tanjung, KEN diisi 24 akademisi, praktisi, dan ahli di bidang ekonomi. Adapun KIN yang dibentuk dengan Perpres Nomor 32/2010 terdiri dari 30 akademisi dan ilmuwan, yang diketuai Prof Zuhal. Komite tersebut bertugas menelaah kebijakan dan memberikan kebijakan rekomendasi kepada Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono di bidang ekonomi dan inovasi. Bedanya, KEN ditugaskan menelaah postur dan skema APBN, menelaah apa yang oleh Presiden Yudhoyono disebut economic connectivity, menelaah upaya mencapai pertumbuhan yang stabil dan berkelanjutan, pengurangan kemiskinan, pengurangan pengangguran dan lapangan kerja, ketahanan pangan dan air, ketahanan energi, dan mengurangi beban utang luar negeri dalam kurun enam bulan. Di sisi lain, KIN ditugaskan menelaah sejumlah bidang dalam jangka pendek, menengah, dan panjang. Untuk jangka panjang, Presiden menugasi KIN merumuskan bagaimana bisa membangun knowledge society, bersama-sama membangun gaya hidup yang ramah lingkungan, membangun kewirausahaan, dan membangun masyarakat kreatif dan inovatif sehingga ekonomi kreatif tumbuh. Namun, sederet tugas wah tersebut amat mungkin bakal menjadi macan kertas yang disimpan dalam laci. Seperti yang sudah-sudah, rekomendasi lembaga pasti akan 'dipertimbangkan', tapi bukan untuk dieksekusi. Maka, lembaga baru lebih menjadi lemak baru dalam struktur birokrasi kepresidenan. Sebab presiden sudah memiliki Wantimpres bidang perekonomian, menko perekonomian, dan menteri keuangan. Alih-alih menyehatkan, kehadiran lembaga baru itu justru bakal menghasilkan kolesterol jahat. Apalagi jika motif politik membonceng pembentukan komite itu. Bisa saja, misalnya, ada nama-nama yang digadang-gadang jadi menteri, tapi tidak terakomodasi sehingga diwadahi dalam struktur kepengurusan komite. Kalau itu yang terjadi, lembaga, komite, atau apa pun namanya, menjadi paguyuban tempat kongko-kongko sembari menjadi mesin pengeruk uang negara. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Pelantikan anak Susilo jadi isu
http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2010dt=0619pub=Utusan_Malaysiasec=Luar_Negarapg=lu_01.htm Pelantikan anak Susilo jadi isu JAKARTA 18 Jun - Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono berkata, beliau tidak campur tangan dalam soal pelantikan anak lelakinya Edi Baskoro Yudhoyono (gambar) sebagai Setiausaha Agung Parti Demokrat. Pelantikan Edi Baskoro yang diumumkan oleh Ketua Umum Parti Demokrat yang baru, Anas Urbaningrum pada Khamis lalu, telah menyebabkan banyak pihak menyuarakan keraguan terhadap kemampuan pemuda berusia 29 tahun itu yang dikatakan kurang berpengalaman. Ibas, nama panggilan kepada Edi Baskoro, menggantikan Marzuki Alie yang juga Ketua Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat (DPR) Indonesia. Saya tidak mencampuri hal-hal teknikal pengurusan yang selama ini diketuai oleh ketua terpilih, Anas Urbaningrum, katanya di Cipanas, Bogor, hari ini. Susilo, yang juga pengasas Demokrat berkata, beliau hanya menguruskan hal berkaitan tugasnya sebagai Ketua Majlis Tinggi dan Dewan Pembina parti itu. Katanya, proses pemilihan Ketua Umum parti terbesar di Indonesia itu pada bulan lalu berjalan secara demokratik dan beliau tidak mengarahkan bahawa calon tertentu harus dipilih. Pemilihan itu menyaksikan pertandingan tiga penjuru antara Anas, yang ketika itu menyandang Ketua Dewan Pimpinan Pusat parti Demokrat, Marzuki Alie dan Andi Mallarangeng yang juga Menteri Belia dan Sukan dalam kabinet Susilo sekarang. Pasukan Marzuki Alie, Andi Mallarangeng atau Anas Urbaningrum, ketiga-tiganya meminta Ibas menjadi Setiausaha Agung, katanya. Sosilo berkata, beliau menyedari bahawa banyak pihak meragukan kemampuan anaknya itu dan sehubungan itu meminta Ibas membuktikan kemampuannya sebagaimana beliau sendiri membuktikan kemampuannya ketika dilantik sebagai Panglima Komando Tentera Negeri sewaktu beliau masih muda dahulu. - BERNAMA [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Teenage slaves to region's sex trade
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/teenage-slaves-to-regions-sex-trade/story-e6frg6so-1225881248559 Teenage slaves to region's sex trade Stephen Fitzpatrick, Jakarta correspondent From: The Australian June 19, 2010 12:00AM Suthini in her room at a shelter for human trafficking victims in Jakarta; she was only 14 when she was sold into forced prostitution. Picture: Ed Wray Source: The Australian SUTHINI was 14 when she was forced to hide in the boot of a car and transported, without documents, across Indonesia's land border into Malaysia to be sold into forced prostitution Suthini (not her real name) protested vehemently on arrival at the boarding house where her new owner was to keep her captive but was punished with kicks and beatings. Eventually, after what the Indonesian girl was told was a medical test to verify her virginity, she was raped by two men in a hotel room in Kuching, East Malaysia. They took some kind of stimulant [for themselves] and they gave me something to drink so that I didn't know what was going on, the shy village teenager says in an almost-whisper, sitting in an office at the Jakarta women's refuge where she has started rebuilding her life in recent weeks. She is learning hairdressing at the state-run facility in the hope of breaking out of the cycle of violence and sexual abuse endured by so many Indonesian women, and tentatively remaking contact with family members, most of whom had no idea where she was for the duration of her 18-month ordeal. Suthini's recall of the men who abused her is limited or at least she has blocked it out: her best description of them was that one of them was Chinese. For two days after the rape, she says, she cowered in the dingy hotel room where the assault took place. I was destroyed,she whispers. And they got away. Eventually she escaped from her new owner, although not before prolonged and repeated beatings, she says, and a subsequent period of several months working as a maid for no pay and little food. Suthini's story is almost unremarkable for its frequency in Indonesia and across Southeast Asia. Her version of it, however, carries the nuance and scars of her individual experience, beginning with the uncle in the West Java village of her youth who she says tried to rape her, and his wife, who subsequently blamed Suthini for tempting the man. From there it was a downhill route, with no parental control and few job prospects, to being offered work not just outside of the village but abroad. Initially, the deal was for a maid's position in Singapore, one of the most common options for poor Indonesian girls with little education. Suthini knew something was amiss when she was shoved into the car boot and driven across the Borneo border, but in truth her experience might have been little different even if she had landed in Singapore. Indonesian maids are famously abused in the city-state as well as in Malaysia by wealthy, often Chinese, employers. Sexual slavery is rife and there have been alleged cases in Australia involving Asian female victims. The International Labour Organisation estimates 2.5 million people are trafficked worldwide annually, a figure that includes a huge number in forced labour and sexual bondage. Other organisations posit even higher numbers, with the difference relating only to variations in data collection techniques. Regardless, agencies working in the field believe more than half of all victims of trafficking come from or end up in Southeast Asia. Now, a high-energy program designed to educate those most at risk, as well as people with the potential for being abusers, is reaching its peak. The MTVExit campaign -- the Exit part standing for End Exploitation and Trafficking -- has staged 24 high-profile rock concerts since its founding in late 2008. Most recently, the campaign has had the active support of the Australian government, which through its development agency AusAID has helped fund concert tours in Vietnam and Indonesia. The US government's aid program has been a leading player in the MTVExit act from the beginning. The shows are designed to give mass-saturation exposure to the problem in those areas deemed to be hot spots for human trafficking, campaigning from the stage during concerts, and distributing leaflets among the crowd. Short documentaries and film clips have been created to be shown on television and used in training programs worldwide. In Indonesia, concerts were held in the cities of Pontianak, Makassar, Surabaya, Medan and Jakarta in recent weeks. The final show of the tour, in the Indonesian capital, crammed 80,000 punters into the city's Senayan stadium and the main show was broadcast live on national television. The next instalment of the campaign will be a historic open-air spectacular in the East Timor capital, Dili, the weekend after next; it's the first time anything like it has been staged in that

[wanita-muslimah] Former minister says he received death threats
Refleksi : Di Arab Saudia jumlah jam pelajaran agama di sekolah dibatasi. Bagaimana di NKRI? http://arabnews.com/saudiarabia/article67310.ece Former minister says he received death threats By KHALED AL-AWADH | ARAB NEWS Published: Jun 17, 2010 00:09 Updated: Jun 17, 2010 00:09 BURAIDAH: Former Education Minister Dr. Mohammad Al-Rasheed revealed to a local newspaper that he received death threats from extremists for changing the Saudi educational curriculum and limiting the time allotted for religious studies. I received a telephone call from an unknown person who told me that brothers were plotting to kill me if I went ahead with my plan to change the curriculum, Al-Rasheed told a local daily. I suffered a lot at that time, he added. After girls' education merged with the Ministry of Education, some people started a campaign to remove me from my post, said Al-Rasheed. Extremist websites were full of insulting articles and improper words against me in a way that contradicts every principle of Islam, he added. Friday sermons were also used in the campaign to remove him from his office. I tried every effort to reassure people that girls' education would not be changed and would remain according to our Islamic and traditional values, but all my efforts were in vain, he said. Al-Rasheed still remembers a conference on education that was held in Beirut and organized by Arab Thought Forum. Saudi women delegates participated in that conference representing themselves and not the Ministry of Education, he said, adding that he was depicted as a corrupt man for taking these Saudi women in a private plane abroad. I had nothing to do with that trip. They were invited by the forum and I was a guest speaker at that conference, he said, adding that some of these women were university teachers, accompanied by their husbands and representing various institutions. I remember one day when I was performing Umrah, a teacher came to me, kissed my head and asked for forgiveness because he and his colleagues spoke evil of me. We as teachers thought you did not know the road to this holy place, he said. Al-Rasheed expressed his sorrow that some specialists in Islamic studies behave like this and that they judge others without evidence. It is sad that they use the house of God to send these destructive messages, he said. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Proactive woman preacher becomes popular among Asir girls
http://arabnews.com/saudiarabia/article67276.ece Proactive woman preacher becomes popular among Asir girls By HAYAT AL-GHAMDI | ARAB NEWS Published: Jun 17, 2010 00:03 Updated: Jun 17, 2010 00:03 ABHA: When a local female dawa activist approached five high school students in Khamis Mushayt they tried to run away afraid they would be badgered for not donning their hijabs properly and for wearing abayas that had colorful embroidery. The dawa activist, called Noura Al-Saad, however, remained calm and impressed the girls with her politeness, kindness and respectful way of giving dawa. She made such an impression that the girls invited her to deliver a speech at their school. Al-Saad, who works for the Islamic Affairs Office in Khamis Mushayt, is a popular name amongst women in the region, particularly students, as her speeches are moderate, positive, constructive and kind. The five high school students who initially tried to make a run thought Al-Saad was a stereotypical dawa activist - harsh, unkind and abrupt. Such women try to force women to wear large, black and dull abayas, something many women feel uncomfortable with. Haila Nafis, a specialist in social affairs, said what these girls did was expected because the majority of dawa activists have a tendency to preach in a harsh manner, which drives people away. The Prophet (peace be upon him) had a different tone, he was welcoming. His methodology was based on forgiveness and being positive, she said, adding that all extra-curricular activities in schools tend to be religious and that other activities should be included. Most women preachers criticize girls if they see a minor decoration on the sides of their abayas. These types of attitudes keep girls away. I have been criticizing this strict method, which is also adopted in schools. How can they force girls to wear full black abayas, gloves and socks and then when they leave school they see a teacher who isn't wearing the face veil, she said, adding that these strict rules are introduced by certain individuals who wish to force their own ways on others. My daughter was suspended from school for a month because she took off her face veil in the school bus. She only did this to take medicine, said Nafis.

[wanita-muslimah] Saudi tourism to bag SR66 billion this year
Refleksi : Tourisme mendatangkan pendapatan yang tidak sedikit kepada Arab Saudia. http://arabnews.com/saudiarabia/article65575.ece Saudi tourism to bag SR66 billion this year By ARAB NEWS Published: Jun 13, 2010 23:19 Updated: Jun 13, 2010 23:19 JEDDAH: Saudi Arabia's tourism industry is expected to make a revenue of SR66 billion this year, said Salah Al-Bakhit, deputy chairman of Saudi Commission for Tourism and Antiquities (SCTA). This figure is 4.76 percent more than the revenue earned in 2009, Al-Bakhit said in a statement that was carried by the Saudi Press Agency on Sunday. He was optimistic about the future of the country's tourism industry. By the year 2015 its revenue would reach SR118 billion and by 2020 it would jump further to SR232 billion, he said. Making a presentation on Creating a tourism investment climate in the Kingdom, Al-Bakhit said the revenue of transport sector would increase by eight percent in 2010 to reach SR30 billion. Restaurants and coffee shops are expected to earn a revenue of SR36 billion in 2010, up 9 percent compared to last year. The number of jobs in the tourism sector rose from 333,125 in 2000 to 457,658 in 2009, registering an annual growth rate of 7.4 percent. The number of Saudis working in the field rose by 60 percent from 66,704 to 117,384 during the same period, the official said. He disclosed SCTA's plan to establish a holding company for tourism development in order to carry out tourism projects in various parts of the country in association with private and public sectors. We also intend to provide public land on long lease to attract investment. The old Okaz Souq in Taif will be floated for private investment in order to develop the area for cultural tourism, he explained.

[wanita-muslimah] Indonesian Sex Slave Rescued from Shocking Abuse +Tifatul Causes Uproar ....
Refleksi : Apakah tidak sebaiknya juga Taiful Sembiring ribut mengenai wanita Indonesia (TKW) dijadikan budak pelacuran dan tidak hanya cerewet tentang video porno. http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/home/indonesian-sex-slave-rescued-from-shocking-abuse/381032 June 17, 2010 Jakarta Globe Indonesian Sex Slave Rescued from Shocking Abuse A young and badly abused Indonesian sex slave forced to have intercourse with hundreds of men over the past two months has been rescued by Malaysian authorities. The Star online reported that the Immigration Department in Penang rescued the unidentified woman, in her 20s, from a locked room in a house in George Town on Tuesday night. She did not have any valid travel documents in her possession. Her alleged captors, from Bangladesh, were also taken into custody. The Bangladeshis, who were also without any documents, were in the house then and were arrested, the news portal quoted Immigration Department official Abdul Rahman Hassan as saying. They have been remanded pending investigations and the woman has been sent to the Penang Hospital for a check up. The department reportedly received a tip-off two weeks ago that the Bangladeshis, both in their 30s, offered the woman to their friends for a price. She was forced to have sex with a number of men daily or else she would be beaten. The report did not say why it took so long for Malaysian authorities to act. The Indonesian Consulate in Penang was not available for comment. http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/home/tifatul-causes-uproar-with-comments-linking-pornography-and-hiv-rates/381163 June 17, 2010 Ismira Lutfia Dessy Sagita Tifatul Sembiring has caused outrage with his claims that the money ear-marked for use in AIDS/HIV awareness would be better off elsewhere. (JG Photo) Tifatul Causes Uproar With Comments Linking Pornography and HIV Rates Communications and Information Technology Minister Tifatul Sembiring has launched another tirade against pornography, this time linking it to the country's rising HIV/AIDS rate in comments that were immediately attacked by activists who work in the field. Tifatul said on Thursday that increased access to pornography had fueled a surge in promiscuity, which he claimed was responsible for a rise in HIV/AIDS infections in the country. The minister, who has courted controversy in the past with statements such as the ones he made last November linking immorality and natural disasters, said the money used on HIV/AIDS programs could be better spent elsewhere. Every year the state spends Rp 180 billion [$19.6 million] to deal with the problems caused by [sex outside of wedlock], such as the spread of HIV/AIDS, Tifatul said. The budget could actually be reduced and the money allocated for other things that are beneficial to the country. However, Adithya Edo Wardana, the program director for the Stigma Foundation, an NGO focusing on HIV/AIDS harm reduction, said government funding was already insufficient. It's ridiculous to even think about reducing the budget and allocating it to other programs of dubious merit, he said. Edo said an assessment of HIV/AIDS-related programs this year had concluded existing funding would cover just 60 percent of needed programs, while the rest would have to be covered by foreign donors. He conceded watching pornography could lead to casual sex, but said the main cause of the spread of HIV infections was unsafe sex. I'm not saying casual sex is OK in Indonesia, where traditional Eastern values still prevail, he said. But to directly link pornography to HIV is just wrong. Omar Syarif, an HIV/AIDS activist from the Indonesian Network of People Living With HIV (Jothi), said the minister's statement was in stark conflict to a decree issued by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in Bali earlier this year. He said Yudhoyono had then instructed all regional administrations to increase their efforts to tackle the rising HIV/AIDS transmission rate. For the minister to call for the national HIV/AIDS budget to be reduced is both baseless and unwise, Omar said. Kemal Siregar, deputy for program development at the National AIDS Commission, also said there was no reason to slash the HIV/AIDS budget, saying it had been drawn up after long and careful consideration. We considered every single aspect to achieve the targets set by the UN in its Millennium Development Goals, he said. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Iraqis feel rising Iran clout in their wallets
http://www.kuwaittimes.net/read_news.php?newsid=MTA3NTAyNDQyNg== Iraqis feel rising Iran clout in their wallets Published Date: June 16, 2010 KARBALA, Iraq: Iranian rials change hands as easily as Iraqi dinars in this holy city's old bazaar, its alleyways teeming with Iranian pilgrims bused in on package tours run by Tehran. The Ayatollah Khomeini banknotes and Farsi chatter aren't alone in lending a Persian flavor. Shelves in merchant stalls like Yassin Saleh's sit heavy with containers of honey, cosmetics and toothpaste, all made across the still-disputed border. Bestsellers include travel-size bottles of Iranian Sehat brand shampoo. They're cheap but effective, Saleh says, as boxy Iranian-built Barfab air coolers trundle away nearby. Some people don't care about the cost ... but those who want lower prices like the Iranian products. Trade with longtime rival Iran is bringing Iraq investments it sorely needs. Billion-dollar pacts are being signed. Branches of Iranian banks blacklisted by the United States are opening. But the growing ties also frame a political imbalance the US is loath to see in a country struggling to rebuild after years of war. As America's influence wanes in Iraq, and its troops withdraw, Iran is capitalizing on centuries-old religious and cultural ties to secure greater leverage in the country - even as Washingto n works to dissuade others from dealing with Tehran over its nuclear program. It's a political and economic tug-of-war the US risks losing, if only because Iraq's reconstruction needs open the door for a marriage of convenience. Iran, squeezed elsewhere by sanctions, finds in Iraq a rare and ready market at a time when lingering security fears continue to discourage Western investments in the country. Iran would like to have a stronger presence in Iraq ... primarily because so many other places have been closed off to it. It's partly necessity, said Anoush Ehteshami, a professor at Britain's Durham University. Iran doesn't want to lose its footing again in Iraq. Under Saddam Hussein, Iraq fought a ruinous eight-year war with Iran beginning in 1980 that killed hundreds of thousands of people and devastated both countries' economies. Many of Iraq's majority Shiites, persecuted by Saddam, sought sanctuary in Iran, only to return after the Iraqi dictator's fall in 2003. Some now hold key government posts. Many others have bought homes and set up businesses in places like Karbala, relying on Farsi learned in exile to cater to Iranians. That allows the trade links to keep growing - quadrupling to $4 billion last year compared to three years earlier, according to Iranian government figures. Senior Iraqi and Iranian officials meet frequently. The visits have netted a series of economic cooperation agreements, including power supply deals for Iraq and pledges to create cross-border free trade zones. Iran has offered its neighbor a $1 billion loan to buy Iranian goods. In Basra, Iraq's second largest city and a nucleus for powerful Shiite groups, more than 60 Iranian companies gathered this year for a five-day trade fair. The fair was the biggest such Iranian-run event since the US-led invasion. Freezer trucks and motorcycles were on display, along with dairy products, canned goods, clothes and cement. The port city, which is also the springboard for the majority of Iraq's oil exports, last month signed off on a nearly $1 billion plan for an Iranian construction company to build thousands of homes, hotels and a mall, said Haider Ali Fadhil, who heads the Basra Investment Commission. In March, Iran state-run Bank Melli opened its second Iraqi branch, even though the bank is under U.S. and European sanctions over its alleged ties to Iran's nuclear program. Two other Iranian banks on a US watch list, Parsian and Karafarin, plan to open in Iraq soon. Iranian embassy officials in Baghdad say actual trade levels are as high as $7 billion, making Iraq one of its biggest trading partners. Iran's Commerce Ministry is aiming for trade of $10 billion per year within three years. For Iran, investing in places like Basra and the shrine cities of Najaf and Karbala is a supplementary means of exerting influence in Iraq, said Kenneth Katzman, a Mideast specialist at the US government's Congressional Research Service. I don't see the US as wanting to promote that. The U.S. interest is to ... isolate Iran, not encourage greater economic integration, he said. The increasing closeness also worries many of Iraq's minority Sunni Muslims, and Iraq's mostly Sunni neighbors, such as fellow OPEC member Saudi Arabia. Tehran has for years pushed for a pipeline to carry Iraqi crude oil to Iran's Abadan refinery. Refined fuel would then be shipped in the opposite direction. Iran already exports fuel to Iraq, even though both lack the refining capacity to meet local demand. It's a strategy that analysts say makes little economic sense. It's a

[wanita-muslimah] A blow to the Brotherhood
http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2010/1002/eg2.htm 10 - 16 June 2010 Issue No. 1002 Published in Cairo by AL-AHRAM established in 1875 A blow to the Brotherhood The Muslim Brotherhood's failure to win a single seat in the Shura Council's mid-term election comes as no surprise, reports Gamal Essam El-Din The Muslim Brotherhood failed to win any seats in the mid-term Shura Council elections. The second run-off round was held on Tuesday, without any Brotherhood candidates running. Brotherhood leaders expectedly voiced sharp criticism of the ruling National Democratic (NDP), which swept the poll. The NDP secured 80 seats, the opposition won four seats and the independents won the remaining four seats. Essam El-Erian, the official in charge of the group's political agenda, accused the NDP, in collaboration with the security forces, of manipulating the poll. The ballot lacked any judicial supervision and was rife with irregularities and fraud, he claimed . According to the Higher Electoral Commission (HEC), the election was marked by complete transparency. Four opposition party-based candidates were able to secure seats: Tagammu's Salah Misbah in the Nile-Delta governorate of Damietta; Al-Geel's Ahmed Al-Agouz and the Arab Nasserist's Mohsen Attia in the Old Cairo districts of Gammaliya and Azbakiya, and Ghad's Moussa Mustafa Moussa in Giza. It is the first time the Nasserist Party has been represented on the Shura Council. According to El-Erian a handful of opposition candidates were allowed to win to give a false impression that the polls were not rigged. Days before the June poll El-Erian said the Brotherhood wanted to penetrate the Shura Council so that the movement gains greater legitimacy and prestige. The Brotherhood fielded 15 candidates, including three members of the People's Assembly. Their failure may well be behind the Brotherhood throwing its weight behind the political reform campaign of Mohamed El-Baradei, the former director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). El-Baradei held a press conference on Tuesday with Mohamed El-Katatni, leader of the Brotherhood's parliamentary bloc, during which the movement announced it would help in the drive to collect a million signatures for El-Baradei's petition to change the constitution and introduce guarantees for free and fair elections, including the presence of international monitors. The failure to secure a single Shura Council seat will not, says El-Erian, dissuade the movement from contesting the elections to the People's Assembly, scheduled next October. This is more important to us. The Shura Council lacks any real powers or popular appeal, he argued. The Brotherhood currently holds 86 seats in the 454-member People's Assembly. The movement has never occupied a seat on the Shura Council since it was established by president Anwar El-Sadat in 1980. The Brotherhood's drubbing in the Shura elections, dominated by the NDP since 1980, was expected, says Al-Ahram analyst Amr Hashem Rabie. Rabie doubts the Brotherhood's alliance with El-Baradei will hold firm. This is a tactical move. Should the Brotherhood hold its seats in next October's elections the alliance will collapse, he predicts. The liberal-oriented Wafd Party, which fielded 10 candidates, also failed to win a seat. The party hoped that Mahmoud Abdel-Wahed, its candidate in the Upper-Egypt governorate of Sohag's district of Baliana, will buck that trend in the run-off poll. Out of 88 contested seats the NDP has secured 66, said Intessar Nessim, chairman of the HEC. Add to this the 14 seats in which the NDP was standing uncontested and it has won 80 of the 88 seats up for grabs in the consultative upper house. Twenty candidates competed for the 10 seats in the run-off ballot on Tuesday. Of these, 11 belong to the NDP, one to the Wafd Party, and eight are independent candidates. Most, if not all, of the independents are NDP members who decided to run outside the party umbrella. According to Nessim, the turnout was 30.8 per cent (7.8 million) of registered voters during the first round. He denied that the voting was marred by any irregularities. The election was marked by complete transparency. Vote-counting committees did their job in the presence of monitors from civil society organisations and foreign and local press correspondents, said Nessim. If it had the slightest doubt about the propriety of the elections the HEC would not have announced the results. Brotherhood officials, though, say their observers were barred from entering polling and vote- counting stations. They also complain that their supporters were systematically harassed by security forces. Full judicial oversight of elections was cancelled in 2007. If there is any lesson to be learned from the Shura polls it is the necessity of again placing elections
[wanita-muslimah] Women's rights gain focus in the Kingdom
http://arabnews.com/saudiarabia/top_20_supplement/article66269.ece Women's rights gain focus in the Kingdom By JAFAR ALSHAYEB Published: Jun 15, 2010 15:40 Updated: Jun 15, 2010 15:40 After years of stymied efforts, reform in Saudi Arabia is focused on women's rights. A recent survey by the Researchers Center for Women's Studies in Riyadh examining Saudi newspapers and websites showed that from mid-January to mid-February 2010 some 40 percent of articles in print media and 58 percent of articles on websites addressed women's issues. Empowering women has become a priority for local activists and various initiatives are springing up to secure basic women's rights. The most recent and ambitious of these efforts is a national campaign, driven by local actors, calling for women's participation in municipal elections scheduled for autumn 2011. Prominent human rights activists, women's rights activists, writers and elected municipal council members are spearheading this national campaign for electoral participation, which was launched in March 2010. The goal is to coordinate activities on this issue throughout the Kingdom, including advocacy and media coverage, public meetings and speeches, writing to officials and training candidates. The Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs has not yet ruled on the issue of allowing women to vote or to register as candidates. The position taken by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah on fostering the role of women in Saudi society has created an opening for such initiatives. In February 2009 the king appointed a woman to be deputy minister of education, the highest public office in the country to be held by a woman so far. A few months later, a member of the Senior Religious Council was removed from his post after condemning King Abdullah University of Science and Technology's co-ed environment. In December 2009, Lama Al-Sulaiman was the first woman to win a seat in the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Jeddah and became the vice chairman of the most prestigious business organization in the country. Following that, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry appointed four women board members to CCIs: Faten Bundaqji and Aisha Natto in Jeddah, and Hana Al-Zuhair and Samira Al-Suwaigh in the Eastern Province. Taking into consideration the social and religious restrictions on women in the society, Saudi businesswomen have made major strides in the last few years toward breaking down barriers and gaining legislation that created a less restrictive business environment. For instance, in 2008 Prince Khaled Al-Faisal, the governor of Makkah, modified Article 160 of the Labor Law, which prohibited men and women from interacting in a business environment. The Labor Ministry also revised labor laws in 2008 in order to give women the choice to work. Women no longer require a male guardian's approval to get or leave a job. In the same year, authorities also reversed a ban on women staying in hotels alone. A new law is expected to give women the right to travel abroad without a male guardian's approval and the ability to use their national identification cards to travel to Gulf Cooperation Council states. Among many individual initiatives related to women's rights is a campaign called Where are my rights? headed by Khloud Al-Fahad, a businesswoman from Alkhobar, who seeks to educate women about their basic rights and equality between the sexes via publications, a website and frequent media coverage. Suad Al-Shamary, the first women lawyer in the Kingdom, has pursued many cases related to violations of women's rights to divorce and protection, childcare and support, and compensation for injury. In cooperation with other lawyers, she is currently pushing for legislation to set the age for legal marriage in order to avoid the marriages imposed on young girls. Other initiatives include establishing centers to protect victims of domestic violence as well as campaigns on divorce rights, family laws and the rights of women married to non-Saudis. Most women's rights initiatives are currently headed by individuals rather than associations due to the heavy restrictions on civil society organizations in the Kingdom. The growing activism of women - spurred in part by their awareness of the greater involvement in public life of women in neighboring states such as Bahrain and Kuwait, as well as attention from international figures such as Yakin Ertürk, Special Rapporteur of the United Nations Human Rights Council on Violence Against Women - have prompted tense debates between traditional ultra-conservative religious leaders and an increasingly outspoken liberal intellectual elite. Among the debated issues are gender interaction in schools and colleges, women's sports, participation in elections for chambers of commerce and municipal councils, women's driving, male guardian sponsorship, domestic violence, definition of
[wanita-muslimah] Somali Islamists kill two for watching World Cup
http://arabnews.com/world/article66617.ece Somali Islamists kill two for watching World Cup By ABDI SHEIKH | REUTERS Published: Jun 15, 2010 16:43 Updated: Jun 15, 2010 16:43 MOGADISHU: Somali Islamist militants killed two people and arrested dozens of others for breaking a ban on watching the World Cup on television, residents said. They said the masked fighters from the Hizbul Islam group raided houses on Sunday and Monday in the Afgoi district, 30 km (19 miles) south of the capital Mogadishu, after hard-line Islamist groups banned Somalis from watching the tournament. Hizbul Islam killed two people and arrested 35 others, all World Cup fans, Ali Yasin Gedi, vice-chairman of the Elman rights group, told Reuters on Tuesday. Islamists unexpectedly entered houses in Afgoi district and then fired (at) some people who tried to jump over the wall to escape he added. Hizbul Islam and another group, al Shabaab, which is widely seen as Al-Qaeda's proxy in the region, control large swathes of the country and much of the capital. The groups enforce their own strict interpretation of Islam, routinely banning sport, music and dancing. Hizbul Islam unexpectedly knocked on our doors. They jumped over our wall. It was midnight and my two sons and others from the neighborhood were watching the World Cup, resident Ismail Sidow said. Some residents in Islamist-controlled areas are furtively watching the world's biggest sporting event, which is being staged in Africa for the first time, using makeshift satellite dishes to capture foreign broadcasts from South Africa. The first goal of the World Cup (scored) by South Africa is itself very great - we should be proud of it, said Mohamed Muhidiin Xute, a member of Somalia's Football Federation. A three-year insurgency in the anarchic Horn of Africa nation has left 21,000 people dead and forced 1.5 million from their homes. Only small pockets of the capital remain in the hands of a Western-backed government and African Union peacekeepers. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] The Sovereign Debt Crisis and Islamic Banking
http://www.aawsat.com/english/news.asp?section=6id=21318 The Sovereign Debt Crisis and Islamic Banking 16/06/2010 By Lahem al-Nasser Riyadh, Asharq Al-Awsat- No sooner had the world begun to pick up the pieces in the wake of the US subprime mortgage crisis than another emerged, namely the sovereign debt crisis, which is something that I warned against in previous articles. I warned that the impact of this crisis on the economy and international stability would be greater than the previous crisis, since this crisis pertains to state debts, rather that individual or company debts. Until now the international financial system has yet to put in place laws to address state bankruptcy, despite the fact that this is something that has occurred on a number of occasions in the modern era. This is not the case with commercial debts, for there are laws which address civil institutions filing for bankruptcy and which reduce the effects of this. The sovereign debt crisis also represents such a threat because these debts are not just related to one country, but rather there are a number of countries who are expected to be unable to honor their financial commitments. This is something that will not stop with Greece, and international credit rating agencies have also downgraded Portugal's credit rating by two levels, and Spain's by one. What compounds the issue and exacerbates the magnitude of the sovereign debt crisis and its impact on the global economy is that this is something which is present within the largest monetary union in the world, namely the Euro zone, especially since the Euro today is the second most utilized currency in international transactions after the US dollar. This means that the crisis will reflect negatively on countries in the European Union, the largest economic bloc in the world. Therefore the panic that is spreading across the international markets is justified, especially as stock markets and energy values have plummeted around the globe, which is something whose influence nobody can escape. To say that the Islamic banking industry will not be affected by this crisis is, in my point of view, a clear and glaring inaccuracy. The Islamic banking industry does not operate independently from international markets, and so it is not immune to international financial fluctuations. We witnessed how the US subprime mortgage crisis affected the [Islamic banking] industry and its institutes, and here we must distinguish between direct and indirect impact in order to ensure that we do not misread reports issued by credit rating agencies, such as the one which claims that Greece's financial crisis will not have any direct impact upon Islamic banking. This means that Islamic banking has no assets that are directly connected to the sovereign debt crisis since assets such as securities and other debt instruments that are prohibited under Islamic Shariaa law. However this report did not mention the indirect impact this crisis will have on Islamic banking, which is bound to be substantial due to the crisis's effect upon economic factors that are stimulating the Islamic financial industry. One of the key fields which is stimulating the Islamic banking industry's development and which will be immensely affected by the sovereign debt crisis is the oil industry. Oil prices are expected to fall due to fears of a fall in demand as a result of the sovereign debt crisis, and this would lead to the oil industry losing financial liquidity. Another key factor which the Islamic banking industry's development relies upon heavily is its investments in the stock market and real estate markets. These investments constitute the bulk of Islamic financial investment assets, and are particularly vulnerable to currency fluctuations due to the absence of effective financial hedging [in Islamic banking] which could limit this. Therefore now that the Islamic banking industry has developed and matured, it must carefully study such crises and find ways of countering their effects and avoiding them. In addition to this, the Islamic banking industry should exert effort to establish a central bank for Islamic banking; a bank that would pursue common objectives and interests of all Islamic banking institutions, such as examining the possibility of creating a financial hedging system to offset currency fluctuations by linking Islamic financial institutes' reserves to gold. This central bank would also regulate short-term investment, act to rescue failing Islamic financial institutes, and set up a common market for investment, which would lead to the establishment of joint criteria within the Islamic banking industry. This proposed central bank for the Islamic banking industry would also pursue any other common objectives that are of interest to all parties involved in this industry. Some might say that the things that I am calling for already exist within the parameters

http://www.gulf-times.com/site/topics/article.asp?cu_no=2item_no=368662version=1template_id=37parent_id=17 Ahmadinejad under fire from hardliners Publish Date: Thursday,17 June, 2010, at 12:50 PM Doha Time AFP/Tehran Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad came under fire from other hardliners yesterday for opposing a social crackdown targeting dress and behaviour, mainly of women. In a televised interview at the weekend, Ahmadinejad said that he was strongly against such actions. It is impossible for such actions to be successful. A senior hardline cleric responded by accusing Ahmadinejad of undermining efforts to fight corruption. The president in his interview did not appreciate the sacred wave which advocates veiling and chastity and he belittled it, Ahmed Khatami said in comments carried by the moderate Shargh newspaper yesterday. The head of parliament's clerical faction, Mohamed Taghi Rahbar, also interpreted Ahmadinejad's comments as a green light to immodest dressing. Those who voted for you were the fully veiled people. The badly veiled 'greens' did not vote for you, so you'd better consider what pleases God is not pleasing a number of corrupt people, Shargh quoted Rahbar as saying. The Green Movement of opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi won over Iran's urban youth by pledging more social freedom in last year's election. Iran's morality police have returned to the streets in recent weeks, confiscating cars whose male drivers are seen to be harassing women, local media have said, without clarifying what amounts to harassment. The reports say the crackdown has become a major issue for Iran's predominantly young population, with police or hardline militiamen stopping cars with young men or women inside to question their relationship. They say the Islamic dress code for women is also being more strictly enforced. But leading conservative lawmaker Ali Motahari noted Ahmadinejad's interior ministry declared its preparedness for this initiative... and the president undermines his own work by such comments, Shargh reported. If the president insists on his stance, the parliament will s surely respond, warned Motahari, who is a vocal critic of Ahmadinejad [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Hamas TV forced to halt broadcasts to Europe
http://www.kuwaittimes.net/read_news.php?newsid=MTI3NjYxMzYzMg== Hamas TV forced to halt broadcasts to Europe Published Date: June 16, 2010 GAZA CITY: A France-based satellite provider is halting broadcasts of the Hamas TV channel to Europe and parts of the Arab world because of concerns that it spreads incitement, a station official said yesterday. The decision will deprive Gaza-based Al-Aqsa TV of most of its viewers, said the channel's head, Hazem Sharawy. The Hamas station , best known for its children's programs glorifying violence against Israel , is the centerpiece of a growing media operation of Gaza's Islamic militant Hamas rulers. Losing the satellite provider will hamper the group's attempts to spread its message and raise funds abroad. The decision to cut off the Hamas station came six years after a similar move by France and the US against al-Manar, the channel of Lebanese guerrilla group Hezbollah. In Paris, Eutelsat spokeswoman Vanessa O'Connor said that last week the French broadcasting regulator CSA ordered it to stop beaming the Hamas channel into Europe by June 26. Al-Aqsa TV is part of a package of channels transmitted by Bahrain-based satellite operator Noorsat, which passes them in a single signal to Eutelsat, O'Connor said. Eutelsat has passed on the CSA's order to stop transmitting al-Aqsa TV to Noorsat. O'Connor said it was up to Noorsat to block the al-Aqsa TV signal. She would not comment on what would happen if Noorsat doesn't comply with the CSA order by the June 26 deadline. Sharawy said Noorsat called late Monday, telling Al-Aqsa TV that its programs incite to hatred. The al-Aqsa chief alleged that the decision was politically motivated and meant to silence criticism of Israel. The enemy (Israel) can kill us, destr oy our lands and blockade us. But we aren't allowed to expose them, Sharawy charged. The Hamas channel immediately flipped into campaign mode Monday. The top left hand corner of the channel showed a countdown and read time remaining for broadcast. The satellite broadcasts, which reach Europe, North Africa and parts of the Gulf, are expected to be halted Thursday, Sharawy said. The channel is not beamed to the US Al-Aqsa's second satellite provider only reaches viewers in the Middle East, he said. Viewers can also still watch the station on the Internet. Sharawy said he did not know how many viewers the station had, but that viewer phone calls and text messages indicate the bulk are from outside Gaza. He said the station's coverage during Israel's three-week war with Hamas in Gaza that ended in January 2009 dramatically boosted al-Aqsa TV's popularity. During the war, the station's building was bombed and employees broadcast from a secret location. In the past, Israel and others have repeatedly accused al-Aqsa TV of inciting against Israel, especially in children's programs. One of its most criticized programs, Tomorrow's Pioneers, once featured a high-pitched Mickey Mouse rip-off called Farfour who encouraged children to fight against the occupiers of Muslim countries, while taking calls from kids who were praised for singing about fighting Israel. After a wave of criticism, the station killed off Farfour with mock-Israeli soldiers beating him to death. But it has not toned down the message of its children's programs. The station is popular with conservative Muslims in Gaza for its Islamic-based programming. Women wear headscarves and sometimes face veils on morning talk shows. Music videos show girls modestly dressed in headscarves singing, as well as gunslinging militants fighting Israel and chanting for revenge. The channel's lengthy interview programs provide the Hamas viewpoint to the world. Hamas sees media outreach as a vital part of the movement's success. It has another television channel that broadcasts from Lebanon, several affiliated Web sites, a radio station, a glossy magazine for its military wing and two newspapers printed in Gaza. The militant group has also produced a movie glorifying one their militants and created animations boasting about their capture of an Israeli soldier held for the last four years in Gaza. Six years ago, Hezbollah's Al-Manar television was also limited. At the time, France's highest administrative body banned satellite broadcasts by the Lebanese television station. Later, the US State Department placed the Hezbollah station on its list of terror organizations for broadcasting incitement.-AP [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Kita harus tegar dan ucapan yesus itu untuk menjaga hati untuk tidak pamer kepada orang lain. Sayang sekali, ritual puasa tidaklah menjadi ritual yang umum dilaksanakan oleh ummat Kristian. Maklum, karena dari Injil kita tidak menjumpai sama sekali bagaimana tata-cara dalam peribadatan puasa yang diajarkan oleh Yesus. Ini antara lain saya pelajari sewaktu menjadi Ibnussabil di negeri yang penduduknya umumnya beragam Kristian. Silakan dibaca Seri 070 di bawah. Salam HMNA ** BISMILLA-HIRRAHMA-NIRRAHIYM WAHYU DAN AKAL - IMAN DAN ILMU [Kolom Tetap Harian Fajar] 070. Berpuasa di Rantau Berpuasa di Rantau! Apakah termasuk kategori sukar untuk menentukan bila mulai puasa? Ikut dengan yang di Indonesia, atau di Makkah? Tentu tidak ikut kedua-duanya. Tetapi apakah tidak sukar untuk menentukan permulaan puasa sesuai dengan mathla' yang di rantau itu? Sebenarnya tidak sukar, kalau rajin membaca surat kabar harian, dan faham sedikit mengolah data yang sederhana. Baru-baru ini di surat-surat kabar diberitakan bahwa ummat Islam di Jerman bingung untuk menentukan bilakah mulai berpuasa. Saya heran membaca berita itu, mengapa baru tahun ini diberitakan tentang kebingungan itu? Ataukah kebingungan itu sudah berlaku dari tahun ke tahun dan baru sempat diberitakan sekarang? Saya tidak tahu apakah koran-koran di Jerman tidak ada informasi itu. Kalau di negeri Belanda tempat saya merantau waktu itu sebagai ibnu-ssabil, semua koran memuat informasi tentang posisi matahari dan bulan setiap hari. Kalau bukan pada halaman pertama, maka pada halaman kedua sudut kanan di pojok bawah setiap hari tertera pukul berapa matahari dan bulan terbit dan terbenam. Misalnya sebagai contoh, dalam koran harian Winschoter Courant, terbitan Dinsdag (Selasa), 28 agusuts 1973, redaksional aslinya tertulis demikian: 29 augustus, Zon op 05.46, Zon onder 19.34, Maan op 07.35, Maan onder 19.32. Zon op artinya matahari terbit, Zon onder matahari terbenam, Maan op bulan terbit, Maan onder bulan terbenam. Dengan demikian halaman 2 pojok kanan bawah Winschoter Courant terbitan 28 Agustus 1973 menginformasikan kepada kita bahwa pada tanggal 29 Agustus 1973 waktu senja, bulan terbenam 2 menit lebih dahulu dari matahari. Kesimpulannya, itulah akhir bulan Rajab 1393H, yang artinya keesokan harinya 30 Agustus 1973 waktu matahari terbenam masuklah 1 Sya'ban 1393H. Dengan cara itu kita dapat menentukan bahwa 1 Ramadhan 1393H jatuh pada malam Jum'at dan siangnya hari Jum'at 28 September 1973 mulailah orang berpuasa, dan dengan cara yang sama pula dapat diketahui 'Iedu-lFithri 1 Syawwal 1373 H jatuh pada hari Ahad, 28 Oktober 1973. Karena informasi mengenai terbit dan tenggelamnya matahari itu setiap hari ada di koran-koran maka waktu imsak dan berbuka puasa ma fiy-lmasalah, no problem. Waktu imsak? Ya
[wanita-muslimah] Deplu AS: 3 Juta WNI Jadi Korban Perbudakan
Refleksi : Tidak banyak bedanya dengan yang terdahulu, itulah hakekat rezim fedoal neo-Mojopahit. Akan terus diperbudak atas nama harga mati, apabila bobo dan tidak menghendaki perubahan. http://dunia.vivanews.com/news/read/157751-deplu-as--3-juta-wni-jadi-korban-perbudakan Deplu AS: 3 Juta WNI Jadi Korban Perbudakan Demikian laporan tahunan perdagangan manusia yang disusun Deplu AS Selasa, 15 Juni 2010, 12:36 WIB Renne R.A Kawilarang, Harriska Farida Adiati VIVAnews - Indonesia berada dalam kategori Tier 2 (menengah) dalam laporan tahunan mengenai perdagangan manusia yang disusun dan dirilis Departemen Luar Negeri (Deplu) Amerika Serikat (AS), Senin 14 Juni 2010. Mengutip data dari Lembaga Swadaya Masyarakat (LSM), Migrant Care, laporan tersebut menyebutkan bahwa 43 persen atau sekitar tiga juta warga Indonesia yang bekerja di mancanegara merupakan korban perdagangan manusia - yang digolongkan PBB sebagai perbudakan moderen. Menurut laporan yang disusun oleh tim yang dipimpin Utusan Khusus AS anti perbudakan, Duta Besar Luis CdeBaca, tiap provinsi dari 33 provinsi di Indonesia merupakan tempat asal dan tujuan perdagangan manusia. Tempat asal yang paling signifikan adalah provinsi di Jawa, Kalimantan Barat, Lampung, Sumatra Utara, dan Sumatra Selatan. Sebuah LSM terkemuka lain, yang tidak disebut namanya dalam laporan itu, menyebutkan bahwa jumlah perempuan pekerja domestik (pembantu rumah tangga) asal Indonesia di Timur Tengah yang mengalami perkosaan mengalami peningkatan. Sedangkan menurut IOM (International Organization for Migration), perusahaan perekrutan tenaga kerja, baik legal maupun ilegal, bertanggung jawab atas lebih dari 50 persen perempuan pekerja Indonesia yang mengalami kondisi perdagangan manusia di negara tujuan. Laporan tahunan ini kemudian menyoroti perusahaan penyalur tenaga kerja PJTKI, legal dan ilegal, yang membuat perempuan dan lelaki pekerja memiliki utang dan tercebur dalam situasi perdagangan manusia. Penyalur tenaga kerja itu sering beroperasi di luar jalur hukum dengan kebebasan hukum, dan beberapa PJTKI memanfaatkan hubungan dengan pegawai pemerintahan atau kepolisian untuk menghindari hukuman, tulis laporan tersebut, yang bisa diakses di laman Deplu AS. Selain cara-cara klasik seperti iming-iming gaji besar untuk menarik pekerja yang kemudian masuk dalam lingkaran perdagangan manusia, tren baru yang diidentifikasi oleh kepolisian Indonesia adalah perekrutan pekerja migran di Malaysia untuk melakukan ibadah Umroh. Begitu tiba di Kerajaan Saudi, mereka dijual ke tempat-tempat lain di Timur Tengah, tulis laporan tersebut. Para pelaku perdagangan manusia sekarang juga mengunakan beragam media jaringan sosial di internet untuk merekrut korban, terutama anak-anak, dengan tujuan menjebloskan mereka ke perdagangan seksual. Sejumlah perempuan warga asing, seperti dari China daratan, Thailand, Asia Tengah, dan Eropa Timur, merupakan korban perdagangan seksual di Indonesia. Perdagangan manusia yang terjadi di tanah air juga menjadi masalah serius di Indonesia. Laporan Deplu AS ini kemudian memberikan rekomendasi bagi Indonesia, antara lain dengan mereformasi sistem pengiriman tenaga kerja legal, terutama Undang-Undang Perlindungan dan Penempatan Tenaga Kerja ke Luar Negeri tahun 2004. BNP2TKI juga diminta untuk mengurangi risiko perdagangan manusia yang dihadapi oleh para pekerja migran, menghukum agen-agen rekrutmen kriminal. Selain itu, pemerintah Indonesia juga diminta menyelesaikan Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) dengan Malaysia dan negara-negara lain yang menjadi tujuan pekerja domestik Indonesia. .

[wanita-muslimah] Antrean Minyak Tanah Berlangsung Ricuh
Refleksi : Mengapa supply kebutuhan sehari-hari bagi penduduk terbengkalai? Bukankah masalah seperti ini seharusnya tidak terjadi, apabila pemerintah berpihak kepada kenpenntingan rakyat. http://www.antaranews.com/berita/1276580026/antrean-minyak-tanah-berlangsung-ricuh Antrean Minyak Tanah Berlangsung Ricuh Selasa, 15 Juni 2010 12:33 WIB | Peristiwa | Umum | Ilustrasi (ANTARA/Jafkhairi) Pamekasan (ANTARA News) - Antrean minyak tanah di Pamekasan, Madura, Jawa Timur, Selasa, berlangsung ricuh. Wartawan ANTARA di Pamekasan melaporkan kericuhan itu dipicu para pembeli yang berebut untuk mendapatkan jatah beli minyak tanah, sehingga terjadi aksi dorong antarsesama pembeli. Para pembeli berebut untuk mendapatkan jatah beli lebih awal dengan cara menempatkan jerigen paling depan untuk mendapatkan jatah beli lebih awal. Namun, ada oknum yang merusak dengan melubangi jerigen mereka. Salah satunya seperti yang dialami Halimatus Sakdiyah (37), warga Kecamatan Kota Pamekasan. Sudah lima kali ada yang merusak jerigen saya seperti ini, katanya. Tidak hanya Halimatus, para pembeli minyak tanah yang di pangkalan minyak tanah milik Sutikno Jalan Kesehatan Pamekasan ini mengaku mengalami hal yang sama. Bahkan, yang membuat para pembeli makin marah karena jatah jual oleh pihak pangkalan tidak sama. Ada yang mendapat jatah beli lima liter, namun banyak juga yang lebih. Akibat aksi saling dorong ini, para pembeli minyak tanah ini nyaris baku hantam karena berebut untuk mendapatkan jatah beli. Kericuhan antarsesama pembeli mulai reda, setelah petugas kepolisian dari jajaran Polres Pamekasan tiba di lokasi kejadian. Satu persatu para pembeli minyak tanah yang sebelumnya sempat adu mulut dan nyaris baku hantam itu pun kembali antre dengan tertib. Menurut pemilik pangkalan minyak tanah Sutikno, antrean warga membeli minyak tanah sudah terjadi sejak enam bulan lalu atau sejak jatah distribusi minyak tanah dari pihak Pertamina di Pamekasan berkurang. Namun yang ricuh baru kali ini, tutur Sutikno. Yang membuat warga rela antre untuk mendapatkan jatah beli minyak tanah di pangkalan milik Sutikno di Jalan Kesehatan Pamekasan ini, karena harga harga jual minyak tanah di pangkalan ini hanya Rp3.500,00 per liter. Sementara di pangkalan lain seperti di Jalan Raya Bahagia dan di Jalan Pintu Gerbang, harga eceran minyak tanah rata-rata Rp4.500,00 per liter.(KR-ZIZ/B/E011) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Scientists retrieve capsule, seeking asteroid dust
http://arabnews.com/lifestyle/science_technology/article66205.ece Scientists retrieve capsule, seeking asteroid dust In this photo released by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), a technician examines a sampler capsule that was detached from JAXA's Hayabusa probe and landed in a desert in the Woomera Prohibited Area, southern Australia,on Monday. The Hayabusa is the first spacecraft to complete a seven-year, 6-billion-kilometer round-trip journey to an asteroid. (AP) By TANALEE SMITH | AP Published: Jun 14, 2010 18:33 Updated: Jun 14, 2010 18:34 ADELAIDE, Australia: A team of scientists flew to the Australian Outback on Monday and recovered a Japanese space capsule that they hope contains asteroid samples providing clues into the evolution of the solar system. The Hayabusa explorer returned to Earth overnight after a seven-year, 4-billion mile (6-billion kilometer) journey, burning apart on re-entry in a spectacular fireball just after jettisoning the capsule. It was the first time a spacecraft successfully landed on an asteroid and returned to Earth. Seiichi Sakamoto of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, which launched the explorer in 2003, said they were delighted to recover the capsule, particularly after a number of technical problems delayed Hayabusa's arrival for three years. It was an extremely difficult technological challenge, and we did everything to overcome the troubles one by one, he said. This is an achievement we could make simply because we never gave up hope. On Monday, two helicopters took scientists to the capsule's landing site in the Woomera Prohibited Area, a remote military zone 300 miles (485 kilometers) northwest of the South Australian state capital of Adelaide. The capsule was airlifted late Monday afternoon to the town of Woomera, where it would be prepared over several days for air freighting to Japan, NASA scientist Scott Sandford said by telephone from the scientists' base in Woomera. Sandford said he had not seen the capsule but that photographs indicated it had made a soft desert landing. The capsule will return to Japan before scientists discover whether it carries any asteroid dust in its sample canister. It'll be some time before we know if we've got sample, and if so, how much - I don't think we can assume anything, Sandford said. Sandford said it was a relief to watch the re-entry and see the capsule successfully detach and parachute to Earth. During a mission critical event like a re-entry, there's a whole series of things you've got to get right to make it work, and they all seemed to have come off without a hitch, said Sandford. It's a great testament to the design and operation of the spacecraft. Hayabusa reached an asteroid called Itokawa in 2005. After taking photo images from all angles of the 1,640-foot (500-meter) -long asteroid, Hayabusa landed on it twice in late 2005. The craft was designed to shoot a bullet into the surface of the asteroid that would crush and propel material through a long tube into a sample collection container. There is no certainty the bullet actually fired, scientists say, but they believe the impact of the tube's landing would have forced some material upward and into the collection chamber. We have perhaps a 50 percent chance of retrieving samples, Sakamoto said. The Japanese space agency said the aim of the $200 million project was to understand the origin and evolution of the solar system, as well as paving the way for future sample return missions. Sakamoto said any samples from an asteroid, considered the building blocks of planets, could also shed light on the origins of the Earth. Scientists hope to study how and when the asteroid was formed, its physical properties, what other bodies it may have been in contact with, and how solar wind and radiation have affected it. Hayabusa was originally due to return to Earth in 2007 but a series of technical glitches - including a deterioration of its ion engines, broken control wheels, and the malfunctioning of electricity-storing batteries - forced it to miss its window to maneuver into the Earth's orbit until this year. If Hayabusa is indeed carrying asteroid samples, it would be only the fourth space sample return in history - including moon matter collected by the Apollo missions, comet material by Stardust, and solar matter from the Genesis mission. Preliminary analysis of the samples will be carried out by the team of Japanese, American and Australian scientists in Japan. After one year, scientists around the world can apply for access to the asteroid material for research. - Associated Press writers Mari Yamaguchi in Tokyo and Rod McGuirk in Canberra, Australia, contributed to this report.

Re: [wanita-muslimah] tentang dokrin kristen( kepalsuan bible)
Apa salahnya kalau nyontek? - Original Message - From: Yudi Yuliyadi To: wanita-muslimah@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, June 14, 2010 8:55 AM Subject: [wanita-muslimah] tentang dokrin kristen( kepalsuan bible) Karena Quran banyak podo dg Alkitab maka dia dituduh nyontek dari Alkitab.La ternyata Trinitas Kristen itu podo juga dengan beberapa agama sebelumnya,tuan2 bisa memilih agama yang dicontek yang mana,sebab semua lebih duluan dari Kristen.Bahkan Natalpun sesuatu yg amat sakral dan semeriah itu tanggalnyapun hasil contekan,dan merupakan kebohongan publik. Semakin mempelajari Kristologi saya menemukan bukti-bukti berikut yang menguatkan bahwa Kristen bukan wahyu Tuhan : 1. Tidak ada satupun ayat di Bible menunjukkan bahwa Allah maupun Yesus menyuruh manusia beragama Kristen. Bahkan ayat Kis 11:26 menunjukkan bahwa istilah Kristen baru muncul setelah Yesus diyakini mati naik ke surga. Berarti Yesus belum dengar, tidak kenal apalagi mengajarkan Kristen. 2. Amanat Agung (misi mengkristenkan dunia) dalam Matius 28:16-20 ternyata ayat tambahan ciptaan para penginjil untuk menyebarkan ajaran Kristen ke seluruh dunia. Pemalsuan ini dibeberkan oleh Hugh J. Schonfield nominator Nobel tahun 1959 dalam buku The Original New Testament, Juga oleh Robert Funk, Profesor Ilmu Perjanjian Baru dalam buku The Five Gospels. 3. Doktrin Kristen bahwa Firman adalah Tuhan. dalam ayat Yohanes 1:1-18 ternyata memanipulasi hymne Platonis yang semula berbunyi .Logos (firman) itu berasal dari Tuhan. Pemanipulasian ayat ini dibeberkan oleh Bapa Gereja Santo Agustinus dalam bukunya The Confession of St. Augustine. 4. Jesus seminar terdiri dari 76 ahli-ahli Alkitab dari berbagai disiplin ilmu dari Amerika Utara yang berseminar 2x setahun sejak 1985-1996, menegaskan bahwa pernyataan perbuatan Yesus yang tertulis di Alkitab, 82%nya meragukan hingga palsu. 5. Penuhanan Yesus dikukuhkan oleh manusia pada th.325 dalam Konsili (musyawarah para Uskup ) di Nicea yang dipimpin oleh Kaisar Konstantin dihadiri 318 uskup. 6. Penuhanan Roh Kudus menyusul dikukuhkan oleh manusia th.381 di Konsili Konstantinopel I dipimpin Kaisar Teodosius dihadiri 150 uskup. Konsili juga menambahkan Credo Percaya bahwa Roh Kudus adalah Tuhan 7. NATAL ! perayaan paling meriah sekaligus ibadah paling sakral bagi umat Kristiani, ternyata bukan perintah Tuhan, bukan ajaran Yesus, tidak ada di Bible. Natal baru muncul abad IV, mengadopsi menggantikan perayaan kelahiran dewa matahari. 8. Ditetapkannya tgl. 25 Desember sebagai hari kelahiran Tuhan Yesus adalah KEBOHONGAN PUBLIK karena menyelisihi Bible (Lukas 2:8, Matius 2:1-2) , menyelisihi Al Qur'an ( QS Maryam : 23-25) tetapi mengikuti ajaran paganisme (penyembahan berhala) bahwa dewa-dewa: Mithra di Persia, Baachus di Yunani, Krisna di India dsb diyakini lahir tgl. 25 Desember dirayakan besar-besaran. Tuhan lahirnya ikutan berhala ? 9. Ketentuan Tuhan bahwa Hari Sabat, hari ibadah adalah hari Sabtu, digeser Kaisar Konstantin menjadi hari Minggu, mengikuti hari suci mingguannya para penyembah dewa matahari yaitu Hari menyembah Matahari (SUN DAY) alias Minggu. Ketentuan Tuhan diabaikan, ketentuan manusia ditaati. 10. Doktrin ketuhanan Trinitas (Tuhan Bapa/Allah, Anak/Yesus Roh Kudus) ajaran Paulus (bukan ajaran Yesus) nampak mengadopsi pola penyembahan Tritunggal kaum Paganis (penyembah berhala) yang sangat luas penyebarannya kuat pengaruhnya baik dimasa sebelum, disaat maupun sesudah Yesus . Contoh Pola Penyembahan Tritunggal yg dilestarikan Kristen jadi Trinitas : WILAYAH TUHAN 1 TUHAN 2 TUHAN 3 India Brahma Wisnu Syiwa Persia Oromasdes Mithra Arimanius Mesir Osiris Horus Typhon Yunani Orphicphanes Ericapeus Metis Tawangalun.

[wanita-muslimah] Space mission down to Earth after seven years and 4 billion km
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/space-mission-down-to-earth-after-seven-years-and-4-billion-km/story-e6frg6nf-1225879637609 Space mission down to Earth after seven years and 4 billion km Leigh Dayton, Science writer From: The Australian June 15, 2010 12:00AM AFTER waiting seven years for the Hayabusa spacecraft to complete a 4 billion kilometre return journey that ended in the South Australian outback yesterday, scientists will have to hold on for another two to four weeks before they find out whether it has achieved its goal of bringing the first asteroid samples back to Earth. Until then, the saucer-shaped re-entry capsule will be handled with considerable care as it is transported to Japan for testing. Yesterday, a helicopter carrying a small group of scientists and Aboriginal elders, along with representatives of the RAAF and the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service, flew to the remote area to retrieve the capsule. It was returned -- unopened -- to nearby Woomera, where it was repackaged in preparation for its journey to Japan. If the mission has gone according to plan, when the capsule is opened in the next two to four weeks, scientists will find samples of the rocky surface of the asteroid Itokawa -- named after Japanese rocket scientist Hideo Itokawa -- in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It would mark the first such collection of samples from an asteroid. Australian National University geochemist Trevor Ireland, who was at Woomera along with scientists from the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency and US space agency NASA, said the mission had gone smoothly and everyone involved was confident samples had been successfully gathered. It's been absolutely like clockwork, he said of the final leg of the Hayabusa mission. Launched on May 9, 2003, Hayabusa travelled about 2 billion km to Itokawa, made two rubble retrieval landings and journeyed home, dropping the sample return capsule to Earth, roughly 60km north of Glendambo, South Australia. That was exactly where it was supposed to be, which is amazing, Professor Ireland said. However, no one is sure whether the rubble retrievals were successful because of a temporary loss of communication between the spacecraft and Earth. Along with the capsule, the team found what appears to be its protective heat shield. Related Coverage a.. Now for the dust to clear Adelaide Now, 3 hours ago b..

[wanita-muslimah] Hayabusa capsule lands in desert
http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20100614x2.html Monday, June 14, 2010 Hayabusa capsule lands in desert JAXA scientists hope probe's surviving unit has asteroid sample WOOMERA, Australia (Kyodo) A capsule released by the Hayabusa space probe was found in the Australian desert, possibly containing the first asteroid surface samples after the probe's successful seven-year voyage ended Sunday in a fiery re-entry, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency said. Hayabusa, whose mission was to probe the asteroid Itokawa about 300 million km from Earth, made an unprecedented round trip to an astronomical body other than the moon. After its May 2003 liftoff, Hayabusa traveled some 6 billion km, making about five swings around the sun and surviving a series of technological problems that often threatened its return and put it three years behind schedule. While the spacecraft itself burned up on re-entry, a special heat-resistant capsule, possibly containing sand from Itokawa, landed in the desert around Woomera in southern Australia after being separated from the space probe shortly after 8 p.m. local time, JAXA officials said Monday. We achieved this result based on technologies and science that have been built by our predecessors, Junichiro Kawaguchi, JAXA's Hayabusa project team leader, said during a news conference at JAXA's facility in Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture. We managed to operate up to this point thanks to Hayabusa, Kawaguchi said. I'm grateful to all members of the project team. JAXA scientists confirmed the capsule by sight from helicopters prior to recovering the round-bottomed pan-shaped capsule, 40 cm in diameter and 20 cm in height, later Monday, JAXA said, while releasing photos they took from the air. While it is believed to have failed to collect rock samples from Itokawa, sand could have entered the capsule due to the impact of the landing, agency officials said in the hope of finding a substance that would help them understand the origin and evolution of the solar system. Moon rocks have been brought back to Earth, but unlike asteroids, which are believed to be records of the early stages of the solar system, the moon has metamorphosed so it provides few clues about materials in the solar system's initial stage, JAXA said. Even if any substance is found inside the capsule, it would take until around September for JAXA to determine whether it came from Itokawa. Asteroids, sometimes called celestial fossils, are believed to hold traces of the early stages of the solar system. The most important goal of Hayabusa was to go and come back, said Yasunori Matogawa, a senior JAXA official involved in the mission, adding Hayabusa's successful mission has put Japan ahead of the world in terms of comprehensive solar-system exploration technology. Itokawa is an asteroid in an orbit near Earth and Mars, discovered in 1998 by researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and named after the late Japanese rocket scientist Hideo Itokawa. In Hayabusa's control room at JAXA's Sagamihara facility, controllers cheered after confirming the light and radio waves emitted by the capsule while it was descending. But some JAXA officials said they feel sad at the loss of the probe. JAXA also released a photo of Earth taken by Hayabusa immediately before its fiery re-entry at around 11:20 p.m. The probe took the photo with the same camera used for taking photos of Itokawa. The agency had been worried about whether it could successfully reboot the camera, which had been turned off to save energy after photographing the asteroid. Numerous types of technology were employed in the demonstrator spacecraft during its trip to prepare for full-fledged space exploration in the future. They included the use of an advanced ion engine, autonomous navigation to an asteroid, landing, sample collection, and the return to Earth. Three hours before entering Earth's atmosphere, Hayabusa (Falcon) released the capsule, which descended by parachute. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] In Sweden, the Men Can Have It All

The Father of Sweden's Fathers' Leave (June 10, 2010) More Photos » From trendy central Stockholm to this village in the rugged forest south of the Arctic Circle, 85 percent of Swedish fathers take parental leave. Those who don't face questions from family, friends and colleagues. As other countries still tinker with maternity leave and women's rights, Sweden may be a glimpse of the future. In this land of Viking lore, men are at the heart of the gender-equality debate. The ponytailed center-right finance minister calls himself a feminist, ads for cleaning products rarely feature women as homemakers, and preschools vet books for gender stereotypes in animal characters. For nearly four decades, governments of all political hues have legislated to give women equal rights at work - and men equal rights at home. Swedish mothers still take more time off with children - almost four times as much. And some who thought they wanted their men to help raise baby now find themselves coveting more time at home. But laws reserving at least two months of the generously paid, 13-month parental leave exclusively for fathers - a quota that could well double after the September election - have set off profound social change. Companies have come to expect employees to take leave irrespective of gender, and not to penalize fathers at promotion time. Women's paychecks are benefiting and the shift in fathers' roles is perceived as playing a part in lower divorce rates and increasing joint custody of children. In perhaps the most striking example of social engineering, a new definition of masculinity is emerging. Many men no longer want to be identified just by their jobs, said Bengt Westerberg, who long opposed quotas but as deputy prime minister phased in a first month of paternity leave in 1995. Many women now expect their husbands to take at least some time off with the children. Birgitta Ohlsson, European affairs minister, put it this way: Machos with dinosaur values don't make the top-10 lists of attractive men in women's magazines anymore. Ms. Ohlsson, who has lobbied European Union governments to pay more attention to fathers, is eight months pregnant, and her husband, a law professor, will take the leave when their child is born. Now men can have it all - a successful career and being a responsible daddy, she added. It's a new kind of manly. It's more wholesome. Back in Spoland, Sofia Karlsson, a police officer and the wife of Mikael Karlsson, said she found her husband most attractive when he is in the forest with his rifle over his shoulder and the baby on his back. In this new world of the sexes, some women complain that Swedish men are too politically correct even to flirt in a bar. And some men admit to occasional pangs of insecurity. I know my wife expects me to take parental leave, said a prominent radio journalist who recently took six months off with his third child and who preferred to remain anonymous. But if I was on a lonely island with her and Tarzan, I hope she would still pick me. In 1974, when Sweden became the first country to replace maternity leave with parental leave, the few men who took it were nicknamed velvet dads. Despite government campaigns - one featuring a champion weightlifter with a baby perched on his bare biceps - the share of fathers on leave was stalled at 6 percent when Mr. Westerberg entered government in 1991. Sweden had already gone further than many countries have now in relieving working mothers: Children had access to highly subsidized preschools from 12 months and grandparents were offered state-sponsored elderly care. The parent on leave got almost a full salary for a year before returning to a guaranteed job, and both could work six-hour days until children entered school. Female employment rates and
[wanita-muslimah] Saudi Arabia gives Israel clear skies to attack Iranian nuclear sites
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article7148555.ece June 12, 2010 Saudi Arabia gives Israel clear skies to attack Iranian nuclear sites Hugh Tomlinson For full coverage, pictures and video from the Middle East, try our new website Saudi Arabia has conducted tests to stand down its air defences to enable Israeli jets to make a bombing raid on Iran's nuclear facilities, The Times can reveal. In the week that the UN Security Council imposed a new round of sanctions on Tehran, defence sources in the Gulf say that Riyadh has agreed to allow Israel to use a narrow corridor of its airspace in the north of the country to shorten the distance for a bombing run on Iran. To ensure the Israeli bombers pass unmolested, Riyadh has carried out tests to make certain its own jets are not scrambled and missile defence systems not activated. Once the Israelis are through, the kingdom's air defences will return to full alert. The Saudis have given their permission for the Israelis to pass over and they will look the other way, said a US defence source in the area. They have already done tests to make sure their own jets aren't scrambled and no one gets shot down. This has all been done with the agreement of the [US] State Department. Sources in Saudi Arabia say it is common knowledge within defence circles in the kingdom that an arrangement is in place if Israel decides to launch the raid. Despite the tension between the two governments, they share a mutual loathing of the regime in Tehran and a common fear of Iran's nuclear ambitions. We all know this. We will let them [the Israelis] through and see nothing, said one. The four main targets for any raid on Iran would be the uranium enrichment facilities at Natanz and Qom, the gas storage development at Isfahan and the heavy-water reactor at Arak. Secondary targets include the lightwater reactor at Bushehr, which could produce weapons-grade plutonium when complete. The targets lie as far as 1,400 miles (2,250km) from Israel; the outer limits of their bombers' range, even with aerial refuelling. An open corridor across northern Saudi Arabia would significantly shorten the distance. An airstrike would involve multiple waves of bombers, possibly crossing Jordan, northern Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Aircraft attacking Bushehr, on the Gulf coast, could swing beneath Kuwait to strike from the southwest. Passing over Iraq would require at least tacit agreement to the raid from Washington. So far, the Obama Administration has refused to give its approval as it pursues a diplomatic solution to curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions. Military analysts say Israel has held back only because of this failure to secure consensus from America and Arab states. Military analysts doubt that an airstrike alone would be sufficient to knock out the key nuclear facilities, which are heavily fortified and deep underground or within mountains. However, if the latest sanctions prove ineffective the pressure from the Israelis on Washington to approve military action will intensify. Iran vowed to continue enriching uranium after the UN Security Council imposed its toughest sanctions yet in an effort to halt the Islamic Republic's nuclear programme, which Tehran claims is intended for civil energy purposes only. President Ahmadinejad has described the UN resolution as a used handkerchief, which should be thrown in the dustbin. Israeli officials refused to comment yesterday on details for a raid on Iran, which the Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, has refused to rule out. Questioned on the option of a Saudi flight path for Israeli bombers, Aharaon Zeevi Farkash, who headed military intelligence until 2006 and has been involved in war games simulating a strike on Iran, said: I know that Saudi Arabia is even more afraid than Israel of an Iranian nuclear capacity. In 2007 Israel was reported to have used Turkish air space to attack a suspected nuclear reactor being built by Iran's main regional ally, Syria. Although Turkey publicly protested against the violation of its air space, it is thought to have turned a blind eye in what many saw as a dry run for a strike on Iran's far more substantial - and better-defended - nuclear sites. Israeli intelligence experts say that Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan are at least as worried as themselves and the West about an Iranian nuclear arsenal.Israel has sent missile-class warships and at least one submarine capable of launching a nuclear warhead through the Suez Canal for deployment in the Red Sea within the past year, as both a warning to Iran and in anticipation of a possible strike. Israeli newspapers reported last year that high-ranking officials, including the former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, have met their Saudi Arabian counterparts to discuss the Iranian issue. It was also reported that Meir Dagan, the head of Mossad, met Saudi intelligence officials last year to
[wanita-muslimah] Pandangan MUI tentang Perempuan Mengimami Shalat Jumat
http://www.republika.co.id/berita/ensiklopedia-islam/fatwa/10/06/13/119644-pandangan-mui-tentang-perempuan-mengimami-shalat-jumat Pandangan MUI tentang Perempuan Mengimami Shalat Jumat Ahad, 13 Juni 2010, 12:42 WIB REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA--Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) mengatakan perempuan tidak diperbolehkan menjadi Imam shalat Jumat. Menurut MUI, ijma' yang dilakukan para ulama di dunia memutuskan perempuan tidak boleh menjadi imam shalat Jumat. Itu sudah jelas, tidak boleh perempuan menjadi imam, ujar Ketua Fatwa MUI, Ma'ruf Amin kepada Republika, akhir pekan lalu. Ma'ruf menilai dengan kondisi apapun termasuk tiadanya laki-laki yang bisa menjadi Imam shalat Jum'at, perempuan tidak boleh menggantikan laki-laki menjadi Imam. Ia menegaskan kembali bahwa hukumnya sudah jelas, meski dalam Alquran tidak terdapat aturan khusus soal perempuan menjadi Imam Shalat Jumat. Dalam hadis, Nabi mengajarkan perempuan tidak diperbolehkan memimpin shalat Jumat, tegasnya. Ia menyebut, perempuan yang memimpin shalat Jumat akan menimbulkan fitnah. Fitnah ini yang dinilainya berbahaya bagi kemaslahatan umat. Karena itu, ia meminta umat Islam untuk berhati-hati menyikapi hal ini. Kata dia, seandainya sebagian masyarakat ada yang merasa ragu atau bertanya-tanya soal itu bisa mendiskusikan itu dengan ulama. Sekali pun perempuan memiliki pengetahuan agama yang cukup bukan berarti bisa menggantikan laki-laki sebagai imam kecuali memimpin shalat yang makmumnya juga wanita, tegasnya. Seperti diberitakan sebelumnya, penulis buku asal Kanada, Raheel Reza mengimami Shalat Jumat di Oxfor, Inggris. Tak hanya sebatas mengimami, Reza juga menyampaikan khutbah Jumat dan memimpin pembacaan syhadat kepada mualaf. Reza datang ke Oxford atas undangan Dr Taj Hargey, tokoh pendukung Islam liberal yang mendukung diizinkannya perempuan untuk menjadi imam. Berita terkait a..

Direncanakan dokter-dokter Palestina itu akan memperdalam ilmunya di perguruan tinggi terkemuka di Indonesia, di antaranya UI, UGM, Unibraw, dan Unair. Humas BSMI, Pardian Sulaiman mengatakan beasiswa ini dilakukan karena SDM medis di beberapa rumah sakit di Kota Gaza sangat minim, termasuk di RS Al Shifa. Beasiswa ini diberikan agar bisa ilmu yang diperolah bisa dimanfaatkan di rumah sakit di sana, katanya. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Kacang Terancam Haram di Pesawat
http://hariansib.com/?p=125877#more-125877 Kacang Terancam Haram di Pesawat Posted in Luar Negeri by Redaksi on Juni 13th, 2010 Amerika Serikat (SIB) Setelah senjata api, pisau cukur, gunting, dan benda-benda lain, bisa ada lagi satu macam barang yang dilarang dibawa ke dalam pesawat terbang berpenumpang. Benda itu adalah kacang - entah itu kacang goreng atau kacang kulit. Kebijakan itu tengah ditimbang-timbang oleh Departemen Transportasi Amerika Serikat (AS). Alasannya, pemerintah ingin melindungi para penumpang yang alergi dengan penganan berbahan kacang. Padahal, penganan seperti itu jadi layanan favorit maskapai-maskapai penerbangan kepada penumpang saat pesawat mengudara. Namun, kalangan pendukung larangan itu mengingatkan bahwa jumlah penderita alergi kacang di AS kini tidak sedikit, yaitu sekitar 1,8 juta jiwa. Maka, pekan lalu, Departemen Transportasi menerima masukan dari para penderita alergi, pakar medis, pelaku industri makanan dan masyarakat awam. Hasilnya, mereka memaparkan tiga usulan yang bakal membuat muram produsen kacang. Usul pertama, melarang semua layanan makanan berbahan kacang di semua pesawat; melarang pemberian kacang hanya ketika ada permintaan terlebih dahulu dari seorang penumpang yang alergi kacang dan; mewajibkan maskapai menerapkan zona bebas kacang di dalam pesawat bila diminta seorang penumpang. Pemerintah saat ini baru sebatas menampung usulan. Kami baru meminta komentar mengenai apakah kami harus menerapkan satu dari tiga usul itu, kata jurubicara Departemen Transportasi, Bill Mosely. Kami bisa saja tidak menerapkan satu pun dari usul-usul itu, lanjut Mosely. Namun, saran itu ditanggapi sinis oleh kalangan petani dan produsen kacang. Kacang kan penganan yang enak dan itu juga penganan orang Amerika, kata Martin Kanan, kepala eksekutif korporat King Nut, perusahaan asal Ohio yang memasok penganan kacang ke maskapai-maskapai di AS. Lalu apa berikutnya? Melarang kacang di taman? lanjut Kanan secara ketus. Menurut penelitian medis di AS, alergi pada kacang bisa mengancam jiwa penderita. Bahkan, dengan hanya mencium aromanya, penderita alergi kacang bisa mengalami gangguan, baik itu gatal, bersin, maupun batuk. Sejauh ini, maskapai Continental, United, US Airways, dan JetBlue, sudah menghentikan pemberian kacang kepada penumpang. Maskapai Delta dan Southwest hanya memberi kacang bila ada permintaan khusus, sedangkan American Airlines tidak menyedia kacang, namun tetap menawarkan penganan yang memiliki kandungan kacang kepada penumpang.

[wanita-muslimah] Hidup Setelah Mati
Refleksi : Bagaimana kalau kehidupan sebagai mayat? http://www.harianterbit.com/artikel/info/artikel.php?aid=96309 Hidup Setelah Mati Tanggal : 12 Jun 2010 Sumber : Harian Terbit JAKARTA-Dalam beberapa kasus, orang yang mati kedinginan pada suhu ekstrem bisa hidup lagi. Seorang peneliti berhasil menjelaskan fenomena ini lewat eksperimen yang dilakukan dengan ragi dan cacing tanah. Mati beku atau 'freezes to death' dipicu oleh suhu dingin yang terlalu ekstem, yang sering terjadi di pegunungan atau daerah beriklim dingin. Meski sangat jarang, seseorang yang mati beku bisa hidup kembali. Kasus pertama terjadi pada musim dingin 2001, menimpa Erika, seorang bayi 13 bulan di Kanada. Gara-gara hanya mengenakan popok saat berkeliaran di luar rumah, ia tewas dengan suhu tubuh anjlok hingga 16 derajat celcius. Saat ditemukan, jantung bayi itu diperkirakan telah berhenti berdenyut selama 2 jam. Ajaibnya, jantung si bayi kembali berdenyut tak lama setelah dihangatkan dan diberi napas buatan. Kasus berikutnya terjadi di Jepang pada tahun 2006. Seorang pria, Mitsutaka Uchikoshi hilang di Gunung Rokko yang bersalju dan ditemukan 23 hari kemudian dalam kondisi membeku dan tidak menunjukkan tanda-tanda adanya metabolisme. Pria ini akhirnya hidup lagi setelah dibawa ke tempat yang lebih hangat, dan diberi pertolongan. Bahkan kondisi kesehatannya dilaporkan pulih tak lama kemudian. Didahului dengan kondisi anoksia (tidak memiliki oksigen) Ilmuwan dari Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Mark B. Roth, Ph.D. berusaha menjelaskan fenomena ini lewat sebuah eksperimen. Roth menggunakan ragi dan embrio cacing tanah (nematoda).Pada eksperimen pertama, ia menyimpan ragi dan embrio tersebut pada suhu di atas titik beku. Dalam waktu 24 jam, 99 persen dari makhluk itu benar-benar mati dan tidak bisa hidup lagi meski dihangatkan.Berikutnya, ragi dan embrio cacing diletakkan dalam lingkungan kurang oksigen sebelum dibekukan dalam keadaan anoksia (tidak memiliki oksigen). Pada percobaan ini, 66 persen ragi dan 97 embrio cacing bisa hidup lagi setelah dihangatkan dan diberi cukup oksigen. Menurut Roth telah menyebabkan siklus sel berhenti sehingga kedua jenis makhluk hidup tersebut menjadi mati suri. Didukung suhu dingin, maka secara biologis siklus sel terjaga untuk tetap stabil selama mati suri sehingga tidak benar-benar mati. Ketika makhluk hidup mati suri dalam kondisi demikian, risiko terjadinya kesalahan dalam proses biologis yang memicu kematian akan berkurang, ungkap Roth.(tbt) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Namun, polisi belum akan menerapkan saksi pidana tersebut. Kita harus mengacu kepada perundang-undangan yang terkait, kata Kabareskrim Komjen Pol Ito Sumardi, kepada detikcom, Minggu (13-6). Selain itu, Ito mengimbau semua pihak untuk mengedepankan asas praduga tidak bersalah dalam kasus dua selebritis Indonesia papan atas itu. Kedepankan praduga tak bersalah, lanjut Ito. Sebelumnya, Ariel dan Luma Maya telah menjalani pemeriksaan awal di Mabes Polri pada Jumat (11-6) yang lalu. Sementara Cut Tari, artis yang diduga menjadi lawan main Ariel dalam video serupa lainnya, belum diperiksa. Wakadiv Humas Polri Brigjen Zainuri Lubis menegaskan, terlalu cepat menganggap Ariel dan Luna sebagai korban. Masih ada kemungkinan sanksi pidana dikenakan, misalnya dengan pasal 4 UU Pornografi dan UU ITE pasal 27, serta pasal 128 KUHP tentang perzinahan. Patut diduga kalau orang dewasa berbuat demikian. Kalau disimpan kan tidak jadi masalah, tapi kalau ketahuan orang kan asusila, tegasnya. DTC/L-1 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Direncanakan perwakilan seluruh fraksi akan ikut serta dalam misi ini. Jumlah persis perwakilan yang akan ikut saya belum tahu, namun yang pasti akan ada perwakilan dari masing-masing fraksi di DPR, ujar angota Komisi I DPR RI, Al Muzzammil Yusuf, Minggu (13-6). Menurut Muzzammil, selain perwakilan dari tiap fraksi di DPR, juga akan diikutsertakan perwakilan dari pemerintah untuk menyerahkan bantuan. Bantuan tersebut rencananya akan diserahkan langsung kepada pemerintahan Palestina. Kita akan menyerahkan bantuan sebesar US$ 2 juta dari pemerintah dan juga bantuan yang dikumpulkan dari masyarakat untuk pembangunan rumah sakit di Gaza. Pembangunannya atas nama pemerintah dan rakyat Indonesia, terang pria yang juga menjadi ketua Kaukus DPR untuk Palestina tersebut. Muzzammil menambahkan, setibanya di Mesir pihaknya akan berusaha melakukan lobi agar dapat masuk ke Gaza secara resmi melalui Rafah. Namun apaila usaha tersebut gagal, maka bantuan akan tetap diberikan kepada pemerintahan Palestina di Mesir. Kita akan serahkan bantuan kepada pemerintahan Palestina di Gaza. Kalau tidak bisa masuk Gaza, akan kita serahkan di Mesir. Pemerintah Palestina yang secara resmi akan menerima, jelasnya. Selain ke Gaza, para anggota DPR ini nantinya juga akan melakukan perjalanan ke Yordania dan Suriah untuk menemui perwakilan faksi Palestina. Kemudian mereka akan ke Lebanon, untuk mengunjungi pasukan Indonesia yang tengah menjalankan tugas sebagai pasukan perdamaian PBB. Seluruh perjalanan ini akan memakan waktu seminggu. Di Yordania kita akan menemui Faksi Fatah sedangkan di Syria kita akan menemui Faksi Hamas, tutupnya.DTC/L-1 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] PEKERJA ANAK DI JEMBER CAPAI RIBUAN
http://www.sinarharapan.co.id/berita/content/read/pekerja-anak-di-jember-capai-ribuan/ Minggu 13. of Juni 2010 00:38 PEKERJA ANAK DI JEMBER CAPAI RIBUAN Jember - Jumlah pekerja anak di Kabupaten Jember, Jawa Timur, diperkirakan mencapai ribuan yang tersebar di berbagai sektor, sebagian besar di bidang perkebunan dan pembantu rumah tangga. Banyak pekerja anak di pelosok desa, bahkan hampir di tiap perkebunan ditemukan pekerja anak yang membantu kedua orang tuanya, kata Direktur Komunitas Studi Anak (Kisanak), M. Dawud, di Jember, Sabtu. Hal tersebut disampaikan lembaga swadaya masyarakat (LSM) yang memiliki kepedulian terhadap anak-anak kepada pers dalam rangka memperingati Hari Dunia Menentang Pekerja Anak pada tanggal 12 Juni 2010. Menurut Dawud, biasanya anak-anak di kawasan kota bekerja sebagai pembantu rumah tangga karena keterbatasan ekonomi keluarganya, bahkan tidak jarang anak tersebut harus berhenti sekolah. Kondisi ini sangat memprihatinkan karena mereka tidak mendapatkan perlindungan yang layak. Hal ini butuh penanganan yang serius oleh semua pihak, supaya tidak ada lagi pekerja anak di Kabupaten Jember, katanya. Anak-anak tersebut bekerja dalam waktu seperti orang dewasa, yakni antara empat hingga 12 jam sehari, dan melakukan pekerjaan seperti orang dewasa. Di sisi lain, Dinas Tenaga Kerja dan Transmigrasi (Disnakertrans) Kabupaten Jember tidak bisa menjangkau dan mendata keberadaan mereka. Bahkan, dinas itu tidak memiliki data yang valid tentang jumlah dan kondisi anak-anak. Anak-anak usia sekolah seharusnya berada di sekolah dan mendapatkan pendidikan yang layak sesuai dengan perkembangan usia mereka. Namun faktanya, mereka harus bekerja karena desakan ekonomi keluarga, katanya. Untuk itu, kata dia, Kisanak mengajak seluruh elemen masyarakat untuk menyatukan langkah dalam memerangi pekerja anak sehingga Jember sebagai kabupaten yang bebas pekerja anak. Kisanak juga menggelar pemutaran film tentang anak di Desa Subo, Kecamatan Pakusari, Sabtu malam, sebagai rangkaian acara untuk memperingati Hari Dunia Menentang Pekerja Anak.( [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

[wanita-muslimah] Anniversary of Disputed Iran Vote Passes Quietly
http://www.aawsat.com/english/news.asp?section=1id=21278 Anniversary of Disputed Iran Vote Passes Quietly 13/06/2010 A protester marches with the Solidarity Committee to Protect the Iranian People's Will and Iranian-American Youth to mark the first anniversary of Iran's disputed presidential election. (AP) Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gestures at a press conference during his visit at the site of the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai. (AFP) Tabby Za joins a march with the Solidarity Committee to Protect the Iranian People's Will and Iranian-American Youth to mark the first anniversary of Iran's disputed presidential election. (AP) TEHRAN, Iran, (AP) - The one-year anniversary of Iran's disputed election passed quietly Saturday with little more than a subdued Internet appeal by opposition leaders for supporters to speak out on the Web against government repression. Fearing bloodshed and calculating that it would gain them nothing, the movement's leaders called off a day of mass protests, reflecting their increasing powerlessness against the government's military muscle. Witnesses and the opposition reported a few isolated confrontations in the capital. We have to expand social networks, websites, these are our best means, said Mir Hossein Mousavi, a former prime minister who maintains he was robbed of the presidency through fraud in the June 12, 2009, election. These work like an army. This is our army against their military force, he said on his website, Kaleme.com. The retreat from Iran's streets and university campuses to the Web is certain to be seen as a victory for the ruling hard-liners and for the armed forces that preserved their grip on power with a harsh crackdown on postelection protesters. The anniversary passed with no signs of major disturbances or large public gatherings. Witnesses reported sporadic but minor clashes at Tehran's Azadi Square between a few dozen protesters and anti-riot police swinging batons. At Tehran's Sharif University of Technology, students scuffled with hard-liners and plainclothes paramilitary personnel on campus, according to Mousavi's website. Liar, liar, students chanted in a denunciation of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Security forces arrested a political ally of Mousavi, Davoud Roshani, and labor union activist Reza Shahabi, Kaleme.com reported. Authorities were also seen taking one person away near the entrance of Tehran University, where no gatherings were allowed to form, another witness said. A top police official, Ahmad Reza Radan, said a small number of people were arrested in Tehran, but gave no details, the semiofficial ISNA news agency reported. In some Tehran neighborhoods after nightfall, people went to their rooftops and shouted Allahu akbar, or God is great, reprising a cry of protest from last year's unrest. Hundreds of police were deployed at main junctions in the capital. The government warned that any unauthorized gatherings would be harshly confronted. The scene was in stark contrast to a year ago. Then, hundreds of thousands took to the streets to protest alleged fraud, which they said deprived them of a Mousavi presidency that might have brought a measure of political and social change. Mousavi had campaigned on promises of economic reform, freedom of expression and a review of laws that discriminate against women. Abuses against detained activists - which the government at least partially acknowledged took place - pushed some opposition supporters to go even further and challenge the ruling clerical establishment itself. But trials - some of which have resulted in death sentences - and threats to put down unauthorized demonstrations have left the movement with nowhere to go. Even on the Web, Iranian authorities chase them, blocking sites and jamming Internet and mobile phone service at times. The tightening controls have led to criticism of what Mousavi on Saturday called an inclination toward dictatorship by Iran's leadership - a potent jab from a man once considered a regime insider and who played an active role in the 1979 revolution that brought clerical rule to Iran. Those at the top (of the ruling system) think they are special creatures of God almighty and that God pays special attention to (him); that whatever he says must be carried out ... and there is no belief in collective logic, Mousavi said, in an apparent reference to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Mousavi pledged Saturday to continue a peaceful struggle against the government of Ahmadinejad, whose presidency has coincided with a sinking Iranian economy and growing international isolation as a result of the defiance over the country's nuclear program. We need to spread awareness, Mousavi said. This is the point of vulnerability of those who are after despotism. If awareness is spread, there will be a huge popular force behind the demand for change.
[wanita-muslimah] Saudi HRC Releases Results of Survey on Harassment
http://www.aawsat.com/english/news.asp?section=1id=21264 Saudi HRC Releases Results of Survey on Harassment 11/06/2010 By Iman al Khattaf Dammam, Asharq Al-Awsat - The Eastern Province branch of the Saudi Human Rights Commission revealed the results of a survey that looked at cases of verbal and physical harassment. The survey revealed that 17.4 of participants had been subjected to harassment by Mahrams [family members who Muslim women cannot marry because of close blood relationship] or other relatives whereas 14 percent stated that they had been subjected to harassment by strangers. The statistics were issued during a meeting held last Wednesday at the Women's Bureau affiliated to Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd's Youth Development Programme in Dammam that was attended by mothers and female teachers. Amal al Dowkhi, a social expert who works with the Eastern Province branch of the Human Rights Commission stated that the survey included a random sample of educated individuals over 20 years of age. The survey showed that 32 percent of participants stated that they had been subjected to harassment whereas 68 percent had never experienced any kind of harassment. Al Dowkhi said, There has been a noticeable proportion of harassment in our society carried out by family members, and harassment carried out by Mahrams is far more destructive than harassment carried out by strangers because it lowers human value as the person from whom the child expects protection and security is the one who harassed him/her. Huda al Senari, a lawyer who works for the Human Rights Commission, explained that the problem lies in proving that harassment actually took place. Some cases reach the courts but there is no concrete evidence that the suspect actually harassed somebody. Al Senari stressed that judges only acknowledge forensic evidence. She added, After referring the case to the Commission for Investigation and Prosecution, forensic science is the only thing that can intervene in a case. Al Senari explained the legal proceedings that take place if harassment by a Mahram is proven. She said, According to the penal code, the perpetrator must be punished. The fact that he is a Mahram should be taken into account as he would be sentenced by the law and given another harsher sentence if the victim is a child or unmarriageable kin. Al Senari further maintained that rulings in our country are left to the discretion of the judge but in most cases sentences are harsher because Mahrams are supposed to protect. Al Dowkhi reviewed a number of cases the Human Rights Commission in Dammam had come across and stated that many victims refuse to admit that they have been subjected to harassment and refuse to reveal the perpetrator's identity out of fear of being accused of lying and fabricating stories. Al Dowkhi ascribed this fear to the general social tendency not to believe such stories. She said, Our society tends to hide such issues and does not want to highlight them. Al Dowkhi praised the role assumed by a program that was launched recently for psychological welfare and community service in the Eastern Province for treating such cases. There is the Ibn Rashid healthcare centre in Dammam, the Al Bayoniya healthcare centre in Al Khobar and the Al Qudaih healthcare centre in al Qatif. A group of women attending the meeting emphasized the importance of educating children about such matters at the early stages of a child's education. Meanwhile, others called for qualifying male and female teachers to deal with children who show signs of physical or verbal harassment inside or outside of school. The meeting that lasted for around two hours included a demonstration of how to detect children who have been subjected to harassment, how to treat them and precautionary measures that should be taken to avoid becoming a victim of harassment. Moreover, the meeting highlighted the role of the media and schools in confronting this phenomenon. It highlighted the importance of increasing awareness, monitoring children's relations with workers [in the home] and chauffeurs and providing them with educational books in that respect. In cases of social protection, the strategy includes the following: firstly, reform which focuses on settling problems amicably between the concerned parties; secondly, social rehabilitation that focuses on therapy and guidance sessions for victims of harassment; thirdly, psychological rehabilitation that focuses on providing psychological treatment; and finally, accommodating victims if necessary.

Sikap Johannes Subrata atau Joesoef, yang suami Cut Tari : Hebatnya lagi, apabila video tersebut memang terbukti dilakoni oleh istrinya, maka ia pun siap memaafkan istrinya. Pantulan: 1. Video tersebut memang dilakoni oleh Cut Tari. Foto berbeda dengan film atau gambar hidup. Mengapa? Ini penjelasannya: Coba perhatikan roda sepeda yang berputar. Terali-teralinya seakan-akan bersambung. Itu adalah akibat sifat penglihatan manusia. Benda yang didepan mata masih akan terlihat beberapa detik setelah benda itu tidak ada lagi di depan mata. Itulah hakekat gambar hidup, yang terjadi dari beberapa frame foto yang bersambung dalam gulungan film. Jadi kalao foto atau gambar tidak bergerak memang mudah dimanipulasi. Akan tetapi gambar hidup atau gambar bergerak yang terdiri atas ribuan frame foto atau gambar mati secara bersambung mana mungkin dimanipulasi. 2. Kalau memang benar yang diberitakan bahwa sikap Johannes Subrata atau Joesoef, yang suami Cut Tari demikian itu, maka itu adalah sikap tercela yang tidak pantas ditiru, betapa pula akan dijadikan idola. Orang Makassar bilang tau tena siriqna (orang tidak punya harga diri), lebih rendah dari binatang, kecuali babi. Coba kandangkan pasangan kuda jantan dan betina atau ayam jantan dan betina. Setelah beberapa lamanya, sebulan misalnya, masukkan kuda atau ayam jantan lain kedalam masing-masing kandang itu. Masing-masing kuda dan ayam jantan itu akan bertarung mati-matian mempertahankan betinanya, tidak akan sudi menyerahkan betinanya kepada kuda atau ayam jantan yang baru dimasukkan dalam kandang itu. Kalau dalam keadaan bebas di alam liar, maka kuda jantan akan bertarung hingga ada yang tewas, sedangkan kalau ayam pertarungan akan berhenati jika salah seekor keok melarikan diri, Akan tetapi kalau babi akan lain. Babi jantan akan membantu babi jantan lain untuk berkelamin dengan betinanya. 3. Ini tentang Luna Maya. Meski hingga kini baik pihak Luna Maya dan Ariel membantah jika sosok yang ada dalam video tersebut adalah mereka, namun menurut Heru Sutadi, selaku pengamat Teknologi dan Informasi mengatakan jika kemiripannya sangat tinggi. Ada kemiripan yang sangat tinggi antara Luna Maya dalam hal ini dengan wanita yang ada dalam video tersebut. Ini saya bandingkan dengan beberapa foto milik Luna Maya. Seperti kelopak mata yang memang menghitam terutama alis dibagian kiri. ungkap Heru kepada cumicumi.com Selain itu juga kalau kita lihat dari gambar wanita yang ada dalam video ini memiliki dagu yang mirip sekali bahkan teksturnya terlihat persis sama dengan Luna Maya. sambung Heru Tak hanya itu, Heru juga merasa pria yang ada dalam video tersebut terlihat begitu mirip dengan Ariel Peterpan. Kalau dari pihak laki-laki gambarnya agak tidak stady dan berubah-ubah. Tapi kalau kita lihat dari potongan rambutnya dan juga bahunya serta ototnya memang sangat mirip dengan penyanyi Ariel Peterpan. papar Heru Selain itu Heru juga mengatakan bahwa jika dianalisa dari suara sang pria maka terasa begitu familiar dengan suara Ariel. Belah tengah rambutnya seperti Ariel kemudian suaranya agak serak-serak mirip sekali dengan Ariel. tegasnya Sumber: http://cumicumi.com/news/view/70/10536 Alhasil sikap Johannes Subrata yang demikian itu lebih hina dari kuda dan sama hinanya dengan babi.

Refleksi : Maju terus membela yang tidak benar? http://nasional.kompas.com/read/2010/06/10/15261017/Dana.Aspirasi.Maju.Terus. PARTAI GOLKAR Dana Aspirasi Maju Terus! Laporan wartawan KOMPAS.com Inggried Dwi Wedhaswary Kamis, 10 Juni 2010 | 15:26 WIB JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Fraksi Partai Golkar tak terpengaruh terhadap segala penolakan dan kritikan atas usulan dana aspirasi Rp 15 miliar per anggota Dewan. Usulan tersebut tetap akan dimajukan dalam rancangan APBN 2011. Hal itu ditegaskan para petinggi partai dan Fraksi Partai Golkar, Kamis (10/6/2010), dalam jumpa pers di Gedung DPR, Jakarta. Gagasan Fraksi Partai Golkar soal program aspirasi dan akan diperjuangkan terus-menerus sesuai aspirasi konstituen. Jadi akan lanjut terus. Program aspirasi sampai kapan pun akan diperjuangkan, kata anggota DPR Fraksi Golkar, yang juga Sekretaris Jenderal Partai Golkar Idrus Marham. Ia mengatakan, partainya sudah melakukan kajian mendalam sebelum melontarkan usulan tersebut. Kajian tersebut, papar Idrus, sudah dilakukan dari aspek yuridis, sosiologis, dan akademis. Dalam rangka membangun agar tidak mempermasalahkan dari mana ide itu datang, tapi permasalahkan bagaimana ide dan gagasan dijalankan, kata dia. Anggota Komisi XI DPR Ade Komaruddin mengatakan, dana aspirasi itu akan dinamai Dana Percepatan dan Pemerataan Pembangunan Daerah. Untuk besarannya, tergantung kemampuan APBN. Golkar beralasan, usulan alokasi dana yang akan menyedot triliunan anggaran APBN itu merupakan koreksi terhadap ketimpangan pembangunan dan penganggaran antara belanja pusat dan transfer daerah yang berbanding 70:30. Minimnya anggaran daerah dinilai menyebabkan kesulitan daerah dalam membiayai program-program desentralisasi. TERKAIT: a.. Golkar: Pernyataan Presiden Luar Biasa b..

Menurut pegawai, butiran insiden itu di wilayah Kandahar serta motif serangan masih belum jelas, tetapi pemberontak sering menjadikan pegawai kerajaan dan polis di kawasan yang dikuasai Taliban itu sebagai sasaran serta menggunakan keganasan ke atas orang awam bagi menakut-nakutkan mereka. Jurucakap Kementerian Dalam Negeri Zemeri Bashary berkata, letupan itu berlaku pada pukul 9 malam waktu tempatan di daerah Arghandab, utara Kandahar. Katanya, pengantin lelaki dan wanita, bagaimanapun terselamat. Wilayah Kandahar merupakan kubu kuat Taliban yang bakal menjadi fokus operasi ketenteraan Amerika Syarikat (AS). Jurucakap Taliban, Qari Yousef Ahmadi menafikan kumpulannya terlibat dalam serangan itu. Jurucakap tentera AS Kolonel Wayne Shanks berkata, insiden itu bukan disebabkan serangan udara AS. Pertubuhan Perjanjian Atlantik Utara (NATO) dalam satu kenyataan berkata, tiada anggota daripada pakatannya terlibat dalam serangan tersebut. Seorang mangsa yang terselamat, Agha Mohammed berkata, tetamu sedang menikmati jamuan pada majlis perkahwinan itu apabila satu letupan berlaku, mengakibatkan satu bola api besar serta asap berkepul naik ke udara. Katanya, skala serangan itu lebih serius berbanding letupan serangan biasa. - AP [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Hamas abandons suicide bombings
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/hamas-abandons-suicide-bombings/story-e6frg6so-1225878630983 Hamas abandons suicide bombings John Lyons, Middle East correspondent From: The Australian June 12, 2010 12:00AM A SENIOR Hamas figure says suicide bombings in Israel have been abandoned because they are a tool which is not effective. Ahmed Yousef, a top adviser to Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, told The Weekend Australian in his Gaza office that suicide bombings - which he called martyrdom operations - damaged Hamas internationally and gave Israel leverage against Palestinians. Asked about Israel's argument that the lifting of the blockade against Gaza could endanger its security, Mr Yousef said Hamas was prepared to agree to European Union monitors making security checks on all ships arriving in Gaza. Israel reacted sceptically to Mr Yousef's comments, saying terror plots were still being thwarted. Spokesman Yigael Palmor said: As far as we are concerned, the separation barrier and the good work of the Israeli and Palestinian Authority security services is the reason there have been no suicide bombings. The intent of Hamas is still there - their capacity has been neutralised. Mr Yousef predicted the two Palestinian rivals - Hamas, which controls Gaza, and Fatah, in charge of the West Bank - were within weeks of signing a reconciliation agreement. He conceded Hamas figures had broken the legs of Fatah rivals in recent years but said nobody can claim to be clean 100 per cent. The Israelis were here for 40 years, have a lot of collaborators here, there were people being shot and having legs broken but this was the norm, he said. Reconciliation between Hamas and Fatah would mean the US and Israel could negotiate with a single entity. The US is brokering indirect negotiations between Israel and the PA, but Hamas is not included, which means a deal would not involve Gaza. Asked about Israel's fear of suicide bombings, Mr Yousef said: When was the last time there was a suicide bombing in Israel? Mr Palmor responded to the same question with: Frankly, I don't know. Mr Yousef said Hamas had moved into a non-violent phase, which included supporting efforts by ships to break the blockade of Gaza. Our struggle originally was non-violent, he said. When we failed to achieve results in the first intifada . . . people resorted to guns because the Israelis began intentionally targeting people. He said the image of martyrdom operations had damaged Hamas and Palestinians by helping the Israeli propaganda machine. We try now to engage with the world, to talk and be open-minded and to talk about our political vision. We are dealing with the non-violent approach again. Let people come and break the siege in boats and pressure Israel that way. On the question of whether Hamas would recognise Israel, he said: We are prepared to accept a Palestinian state on 1967 borders with Jerusalem as the capital. We need to live as human beings and build a future for our children. If Israel ended its West Bank occupation, he would acknowledge the right of Israel to exist? Nobody can expect somebody under occupation to recognise their occupiers. This is against international law. Related Coverage a.. Running the Gaza blockade The Australian, 2 hours ago b..

[wanita-muslimah] Running the Gaza blockade
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/features/running-the-gaza-blockade/story-e6frg6z6-1225878403448 Running the Gaza blockade John Lyons, Middle East correspondent From: The Australian June 12, 2010 12:00AM Cargo is pulled through a tunnel Picture: Sylvie LeClezio Source: Supplied Life can be cruel inside the besieged Palestinian territory, but who is responsible? A special report IT'S hard watching a baby slowly die. He's only five days old and you can see how hard his little chest is thumping. He seems to be fighting to stay alive. It's 9.24 on Wednesday morning this week and he has only 36 minutes of guaranteed life left. After that, he's on his own. He's got a heart problem and needs a medication that would be available in any hospital in Australia. Gaza doesn't have any more prostaglandin. It can't get through Israel's and Egypt's blockade of the strip of land. The night before, at 10, the boy had been given the hospital's final batch, which an aid worker had smuggled into Gaza and whose effect would last 12 hours. Three days before, the hospital faxed off a referral note stamped Urgent, but the chances of the boy getting through the Erez crossing into an Israeli hospital are virtually nil. So Seraj Abu Jarad is dying. Another baby near him is dying too. Her name is Noor Taha and she's 34 days old. Both her kidneys are failing and doctors need to do a CT scan before they know exactly how to treat her, but a tube has broken on the CT machine and the hospital hasn't been able to get the tubes into Gaza. Unlike Seraj Abu Jarad, Noor Taha's cloudy little eyes are open as she tries to focus. One doctor says her condition is critical, very bad. The hospital cannot send a request for her to enter Israel until it has an accurate diagnosis and it cannot do that without a CT machine. So Noor Taha is dying, too. Another girl, aged nine, may die as well. Because of a lack of equipment, her lymphoma was not diagnosed early enough for effective intervention. Once it was diagnosed, the hospital tried to get her into Israel for treatment of a disease that is usually manageable. It took seven months for Israel and the Palestinian Authority to process her paperwork, during which time the tumour grew and spread into her lungs. As the siege of Gaza enters its fourth year, its problems are starting to run into each other; because Gaza's sewage, untreated, runs into the beaches, children are getting sick; because electricity is cut for eight to 12 hours a day, some of those who can afford a generator are being brought to hospital with carbon monoxide poisoning; because food is scarce, mothers are sometimes breastfeeding their children until the age of two, leading to malnutrition. Doctors in Gaza have no drugs for cystic fibrosis patients and none for haemophiliacs. Gaza has suddenly become the Middle East's new battlefield. This week the Obama administration intervened with a huge injection of money and a call for a new approach. Some blame Israel for the siege. Some blame Hamas. Some blame Egypt. The truth is, they are probably all culpable, one way or another. Israel's blame surely must be for allowing so few medications and medical equipment into Gaza. Hamas's blame must come from its prolonged period of firing rockets into Israel, which led to the blockade almost four years ago. And Egypt can be blamed for its refusal to allow the sick and dying to enter the country for treatment, a ban lifted only this week. The tragedy was evident this week in the case of the dying five-day-old, Seraj Abu Jarad. He was up against it from the start, a full-term baby born weighing only 2kg. Doctors in Gaza tell Inquirer they have been seeing more babies with congenital problems, which they think could be due to chemicals such as white phosphorous, which Israel used in last year's 22-day war. Israel initially denied using white phosphorous but has since admitted it. Doctors around Seraj at Nasser Pediatric Hospital ask if there's anybody in Israel I can call to get him through the Erez crossing to a hospital in Israel. What happens during the next few hours shows why this conflict is so hard to resolve. There is a political problem between the director of the hospital and the Hamas medical committee. He is not allowed to contact the Palestinian Authority directly; there is a problem between Gaza and the West Bank. Because Gaza is Hamas and the West Bank is Fatah, the West Bank medical authorities, who decide which cases are considered for an Israeli hospital, appear to give Gaza patients a lower priority. Then there is a problem in the Palestinian Authority getting a quick decision from Israel. I start by calling Yigal Palmor, Israel's Foreign Ministry spokesman. I fax him Seraj's referral, which had gone to the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank three days earlier. The Gaza hospital has not heard a word. Because doctors in Gaza cannot deal

[wanita-muslimah] Al-Qaeda turns to mafia tactics
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/LF11Ak01.html Jun 11, 2010 Al-Qaeda turns to mafia tactics By Saad al-Mosuli MOSUL - The street emptied at the sound of gunfire, the men scattering in separate directions. A corpse was left behind, the lone victim of the shooting. After a few hours, someone covered its face with a sheet of paper - a gesture of respect for the dead. This is Mosul, my home. Since 2003, I have worked as a reporter here, mainly for local newspapers. Stories of murder and abduction are part of my routine. Al-Qaeda still thrives in my city, long after it was driven underground in other parts of the country. Once a pillar of the local insurgency, the group - also known as the Islamic State of Iraq - now operates as a mafia, funding itself through extortion and blackmail. Though deeply unpopular, its reputation for ruthlessness has also made it very powerful. Unlike other insurgent groups, al-Qaeda never restricted itself to fighting the Americans. Right from the start, it showed it was ready to kill Iraqis too. At the height of the conflict in 2005, the group frequently abducted large groups of men. Hours later, their decapitated bodies would be dumped in the street. The severed head would be balanced on top of the corpse, often alongside a DVD containing footage of the beheading. Al-Qaeda may no longer be as brazen in Mosul, but it is still viewed with dread. The group's strategy for survival in the city is, in part, the product of pressures it has faced elsewhere. Over the past few years, the United States military and Iraqi government forces have largely succeeded in cutting off al-Qaeda's access to funds and fighters from abroad. As a result, the group's members in Mosul are now mostly locals - natives of the city, or Arabs displaced from the nearby town of Tal Afar. The shortage of foreign funds forced al-Qaeda to look within Mosul for its income. It found a source in the many businesses that still operate here, helped by the city's position along trade routes linking Turkey, Syria, Iran and the rest of Iraq. Merchants in every conceivable sector give a levy to al-Qaeda. Payments to the group enable the local economy to function, keeping markets stocked with essential goods and guaranteeing the passage of construction materials and farm produce across the nearby borders. Though no businessman would speak about the subject to a journalist, their casual conversations are filled with stories of extortion. Suspicion and fear have destroyed a close-knit community of merchants, who once shared in each other's successes. Established enterprises have been hit hardest, some of them targeted by newcomers seemingly linked to al-Qaeda. An acquaintance told me he was offered US$100,000 to sell his shop to a businessman newly arrived in Mosul. After making inquiries, he was tipped off that his son would be kidnapped as soon as he made the deal. His payment for the sale would be demanded as ransom. Another friend who operates a currency exchange said all his neighboring businesses gave a tax to al-Qaeda. The group's agents would visit every month, threatening to kill or kidnap those who failed to pay up. A friend who owns an electricity generator initially refused to pay the levy. He relented after being warned his generator would be bombed if he held out. A shopkeeper told me he had received a phone call demanding payment from an unknown group, just after he had paid his monthly tax to al-Qaeda. He informed the original gang of the phone call, and was not bothered by any further demands from the other group. The wealthy are not the only victims. A street vendor who takes home no more than 15,000 Iraqi dinars (about US$13) a day also said he was paying 30% of his profits as tax to al-Qaeda. Mosul's severe insecurity and political feuds have created the perfect environment for al-Qaeda to operate. The city has a mixed population of Arabs and Kurds. More than a year since elections to the provincial council, leaders of both communities have been unable to reach agreement on government. Religious minorities, such as the Christians, complain of being trapped between the competing interests of the larger groups. Though Mosul's streets are choked with checkpoints and men in uniform, their presence does not seem to affect the insurgents. The officers rarely speak to journalists, insisting they are not authorized. Their spokesmen are usually unavailable. The security forces seem to inhabit another world to the civilians. It feels as if we live in separate valleys, with mountains between us. A friend told me the security forces were technically correct to claim they were cracking down on al-Qaeda's supporters when they raided certain local businesses. But, the friend said, the authorities' statement was only half the truth. Most
[wanita-muslimah] Man convicted for kissing
http://www.dailychilli.com/news/4305-man-convicted-for-kissing Man convicted for kissing A Saudi court convicted a man and sentenced him to four months in prison and 90 lashes for kissing a woman in a mall. Saudi religious police arrested the man and two women after seeing them on mall cameras engaging in immoral movements in front of other shoppers, reports the Al-Yom newspaper. The man, who is in his 20s, was seen with a woman sitting on one of the chairs, exchanging kisses and hugs. It was unclear what the other woman was doing. The kingdom's powerful religious police, under the control of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, enforce Saudi Arabia's strict interpretation of Islam. Zealous officers routinely jail unrelated couples found sitting together in restaurants or coffee shops. The policemen also patrol public places to ensure women are covered and not wearing makeup, shops close five times a day for Muslim prayers and men go to the mosque and worship. Such kissing busts have increased as economic pressures have made it harder for young couples to marry. The newspaper said the man sentenced for kissing will receive his 90 lashes in three batches, and is banned from malls for two years. The women will be tried in another court.

[wanita-muslimah] Dibentuk Lembaga Anti Korupsi Mahasiswa
Refleksi :Korupsi mahasiswa ialah paling-paling nyotek dan plagiat. Korupsi dilakukan oleh bapak-bapak dan ibu-ibu. Apakah tidak sebaiknya juga diadakan mata pelajaran anti korupsi pada SD mulai dari kelas satu dengan semacam indokrisnasi : jangan mencuri, jangan menipu, jangan mengambil barang yang bukan milik sendiri dan hormati milik bersama etc. Mungkin dengan cara demikian akan lebih berhasil pada jangka waktu panjang ke depan, apabila dikendaki adanya masyarakat bebas korupsi. http://www.pikiran-rakyat.com/node/115584 Dibentuk Lembaga Anti Korupsi Mahasiswa Kamis, 10/06/2010 - 15:57 YOGYAKARTA,(PRLM).-Inisiatif masyarakat untuk melaporkan dugaan korupsi perlu didorong, termasuk di kalangan mahasiswa. Sebagai pembelajaran, Badan Eksekutif Mahasiswa Universitas Muhammadiyah (UMY) mendirikan Lembaga Anti Korupsi Mahasiswa. Lembaga Anti Korupsi Mahasiswa UMY menginisiasi masyarakat untuk memberanikan diri mengungkap kasus-kasus korupsi. Lembaga ini juga untuk memberikan pendidikan dan sosialisasi anti korupsi kepada mahasiswa maupun masyarakat secara umum. Komunitas tersebut harus mampu menumbuhkan kesadaran pada masyarakat atau mahasiswa bahwa korupsi adalah musuh bersama yang harus dilawan bersama, kata Ketua Badan Eksekutif Mahasiswa Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (BEM UMY) Rubianto, Kamis (10/6). Mahasiswa Fakultas Agama Islam UMY menyatakan Lembaga Anti Korupsi Mahasiswa akan bekerjasama dengan KPK dalam agenda pemberantasan korupsi. Kampus menjadi wilayah utama pemantauan korupsi lembaga ini. Kemudian pantauan korupsi di di pemerintah provinsi, kota, dan daerah. Hasil temuan lembaga itu akan dilaporkan ke kepolisian maupun KPK. Menurut dia korupsi secara nasional makin parah laksana gunung es. Lembaga Anti Korupsi Mahasiswa harus berperan mengurangi dengan kapasitas yang dimilikinya. Antara lain mahasiswa mencegah terjadinya korupsi di kampusnya, kemudian di masyarakat. Fungsional Pencegahan KPK Insan Fahmi menambahkan kampus perlu menjadi ujung tombak pencegahan korupsi, caranya melakukan upaya transparansi anggaran. Mahasiswa perlu ikut mendorong kampus melakukan transparansi dimaksud. Peran mahasiswa di kampus sangat penting untuk menciptakan transparansi anggaran dan mendorong jalannya lembaga anti korupsi di internal kampus, ujar dia.

[wanita-muslimah] Yudhoyono to Open Islamic Conference
http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/home/yudhoyono-to-open-islamic-conference/379940 une 11, 2010 Camelia Pasandaran Anita Rachman Bespite recent differences, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, pictured center, is scheduled to open the Muhammadiyah national congress next month. (SP Photo) Yudhoyono to Open Islamic Conference President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is scheduled to open the Muhammadiyah national congress next month, in a sign that relations between the country's second-largest Islamic organization and the government remain strong despite recent differences, says the group's chairman. Speaking after a visit on Thursday to the State Palace, Muhammadiyah chairman Din Syamsuddin confirmed the president would open the event in Yogyakarta via teleconference from Medina, Saudi Arabia. The president has called on us to be on the front line in empowering people through our activities in education, health care and social services, he said. He expects Muhammadiyah to take concrete steps in empowering people financially, such as through our support for small and medium enterprises. Din stressed relations between the government and his organization had not soured following recent differences over government policies, and denied his visit with Yudhoyono was an attempt to patch things up. The Muhammadiyah chairman, a cleric and academic, has been one of the most outspoken critics of government policies, particularly the handling of the expensive and controversial Bank Century bailout. During the 2009 presidential election, Din also endorsed the candidacy of then Vice President Jusuf Kalla, from the Golkar Party, who lost to Yudhoyono in a landslide. Muhammadiyah has always had good relations with the government, Din said. But we maintain what we term 'participative relations,' given that our contributions to the people predate the founding of the nation. Ours is a dakwah [campaign through preaching], and we remain critically loyal to the government, he added. We'll support the government when it's on the right track, and we'll criticize it if it's not. He said Yudhoyono appreciated Muhammadiyah's active involvement in regional issues such as conflict resolution efforts in restive southern Thailand and southern Philippines, and high-level consultations at the UN on the Millennium Development Goals and the empowerment of the poor. The president expects us to intensify our efforts to show that Indonesia's brand of Islam is progressive and can contribute positively to the world, Din said. Muhammadiyah will host its 46th national congress from July 3-8 to discuss the issues affecting the organization. It will also elect a new chairman. Yudhoyono is scheduled to be in Medina for the umrah, or minor pilgrimage, during this time. Political analyst Kacung Maridjan, from Surabaya's Airlangga University, said that while Muhammadiyah had proved its commitment to acting as a counterweight by criticizing government policies deemed unfavorable to the people, it needed to go a step further. It must increase its programs [for the people] by expanding from education and health care to do more in terms of economic empowerment, he said. Kacung also said that Yudhoyono's pledge to open the group's congress did not necessarily signal closer relations, pointing out that this was a routine presidential task. Yudhoyono also opened the congress of Nahdlatul Ulama, the country's largest Islamic organization. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
