Sepintas, kata-katanya yang mengakui Paus Benediktus XVI DIPROTES keras lantaran (katanya) mengritik Islam, mau menggambarkan posisi geboy yang fair menyikapi "kritik" umat Islam terhadap Paus. Padahal, kalau dia berakal mustinya bertanya-tanya, kok Paus cuma diprotes keras oleh umat Islam? Kenapa bukan pecah perang salib? Atau muncul huru-hara macam kasus film & kartun Muhammad? Yah sekurangnya-kurangnya di"Salman Rushdi"kan kek, si Paus itu. Kenapa kok cuma diprotes keras? Malah apa yang dia sebut protes keras itu pun kenapa tidak terpublikasi secara luas? Dari sini saja sudah tergambar dengan jelas kualitas si geboy dalam melihat persoalan. Tapi, lebih jauh lagi, ini justru membuktikan dengan gamblang bagaimana sesungguhnya umat Islam memandang dunia. Maksudnya, orang dengan cara pandang manusia biasa pasti percaya bahwa diskusi dengan landasan kemanusiaan bakal melahirkan pemahaman yang sama. Sebagai contoh, manusia biasa akan melihat pidato Paus di aula Universitas Regensburg itu sebagai ceramah dari seorang profesor belaka. Profesor yang sedang bergembira mendapatkan kesempatan untuk berceramah di podium kampus lagi. Sebab, dalam ceramah itu Paus membuka dengan celoteh tentang kenangan manisnya ketika mengajar di Universitas Bonn. Jadi, sangat penting bagi kita untuk memandang Paus di podium kampus itu sebagai seorang profesor. Profesor yang melakukan pendekatan terhadap masalah (dhi, Islam) dengan metode ajakan mencari tahu, dan bukan dengan petentengan sok tahu. Ini bisa dilihat dari isi ceramahnya yang bagi umat Islam mengandung "kelucuan". Lucu karena ketidakpahamannya, ketidaktahuannya, dan bukan sengaja melucu untuk membungkus satir apalagi kritik. Di antara kelucuan itu ialah (kita anggap geboy punya transkrip ceramah tsb), Paus Benediktus XVI menyebut QS 2:256 (tentang tidak ada paksaan dalam beragama) sebagai ayat yang dirilis pada periode awal kerasulan Muhammad. "When Mohammed was still powerless and under threat," demikian kata Paus. Umat Islam segera maklum, Paus pasti terkecoh dengan nomor punggung "2" yang dikenakan Surat Al-Baqarah itu. Sehingga wajar kalau dia menyangka QS 2:256 itu terbit di awal kerasulan Muhammad. Padahal, siapa pun yang pernah buka Al-qur'an pasti tau bahwa Surat Al-Baqarah tergolong surat Madaniyah; surat yang diturunkan di episode setelah Muhammad hijrah ke Madinah. Artinya, QS 2:256 itu turun justru di saat posisi Muhammad dan pengikutnya sangat kuat, karena harus menertibkan situasi Madinah yang kacau oleh pertikaian Arab (bukan Islam) vs Yahudi kaki- tangan Bizantium / Romawi Timur. Konteks penyebutan QS 2:256 dalam ceramah itu adalah sebagai tanggapan Paus atas pernyataan Manuel II Paleologus (Kaisar Bizantium) yang dipajang si geboy di awal joget stripteasenya di bawah itu ("Show me just what Muhammad brought blabla..."). Dalam ceramah itu Paus menyebut pernyataan si Manuel II (tolong dibedakan dengan pelem emmanuelle-2, sylvia kristel) sebagai "a brusqueness that we find unacceptable, on the central question about the relationship between religion and violence in general." Jelas dan gamblang, bahwa ceramah Paus Benediktus XVI di Regensburg itu justru mengritik bacotannya si Manuel II (non kristel). Jadi, bukan, samasekali bukan, mengritik Islam sebagaimana cuwawakannya si geboy tralala yang rupanya tidak membaca artikel yang dikirimnya sendiri itu, yang sudah menjelaskan bahwa Paus tidak mendukung maupun mengutuk pernyataan si Manuel II, selain menyebutnya sebagai "a brusqueness" dalam hubungan antaragama. Dalam bahasa akademiknya, ceramah Paus Benediktus itu jelas masuk kategori pendekatan masalah dengan pertanyaan / ajakan yang diajukan secara diplomatis. Faktanya, ceramah itu ikut membuat kunjungan bersejarah Paus ke Turki (dua bulan kemudian) semakin mulus, lancar, tanpa gangguan samasekali, kecuali justru mengundang dengung di lorong-lorong Basilika St. Peter's. Nah, sekalipun kali ini si geboy tidak cuwawakan soal sex ("cabut- jangan.." dll), tapi kegatelannya seperti yang dulu. Masih belom belajar menahan diri untuk tidak nyopotin beha & celdam di muka umum. Atau jangan-jangan situ juga mengidap OCD, boy? --- Gabriella Rantau <gkrantau@...> wrote: > Beberapa waktu lalu Grek dlm postingnya yg berjudul Paus Masuk > Islam dan disertai himbauan agar yg membaca menyebar luaskan klaim > orang2 dungu bhw Pope Benedict mengundurkan diri dan masuk Islam. > > Untuk keseimbangan pendapat aku sertakan artikel mengenai pidato > Paus Benedict yg DIPROTES keras oleh umat Islam karena beliau dlm > pidatonya mengritik Islam.
