Kiat "mengelabui" praktik Syariat Islam di Aceh Ah...Syariat Islam pun telah tergopoh-gopoh ditegakkan di Aceh. Untuk melecut punggung pendosa kelas teri sebagai tumbal agar Tuhan tidak marah lagi. Sementara itu mereka-mereka yang munafik, pengecut yang lari terbirit saat musibah datang, kembali menari dan senyum berseri: "Ahh... betapa indah segala proyek-proyek selama ini!" Ditulis oleh Alex (mahasiswa dan pemain band kampus yang selamat dari terjangan tsunami, namun beberapa teman kampusnya nyawanya melayang, hilang tertelan riak gelombang. Buku hariannya bisa diklik di: www.tintamerah.blogspot.com) **** Berikut pengalaman seorang milister yang membeberkan kiatnya untuk mengelabui polisi syariat di Aceh. Kisahnya cukup unik, walau 'ribet': Kebetulan saya hidup di bawah naungan SI meski cuma setingkat Qanun (Perda). Sebenarnya saya tak terlalu peduli soal ini. Khusus di Banda Aceh, masalah jilbab saja tak sepenuhnya jalan. Kalau membahas soal SI kemudian Qanun sebagai peraturan yang tingkatnya operatif, Dinas Syariah sendiri 'kebingungan'. Misalnya begini. Semua warga harus mengenakan pakaian yang Islami. Maksuddari pakaian Islami adalah yang menutup aurat. Namun tak dijelaskan secara rinci bagian mana yang termasuk aurat. Untuk NAD, akhirnya ditetapkan mengikuti penafsiran Suni Syafii-ah. Jadi hanya tafsir golongan ini yang diberi nama SI dan dijalankan di Aceh. Di lapangan makin rumit. Ada larangan berjualan di bulan Ramadhan saat siang hari. Kalau semua toko makanan tutup kan ribet. Akhirnya diputuskan hanya makanan basah yang dilarang. Kalau toko kue-kue kering boleh buka. Pas awal Ramadhan lalu kebetulan saya bertugas di luar Banda Aceh, tepatnya di Kabupaten Aceh Jaya. Ada sekitar 20 rang lelaki yang semua puasa dan jauh dari keluarga. Sementara warung-warung dilarang buka waktu maghrib (waktu buka puasa). Warung hanya boleh buka seusai tarawih, artinya sekira jam 8 malam lewat. Wah, kalau begini caranya kami bisa kelaparan.
Akhirnya kami bersepakat dengan pemilik warung. Mereka setuju akan buka pas maghrib, tapi mohon lewat PINTU BELAKANG .... huahahahaha. Polisi syariah sendiri ketika melihat tak berani menegur lagi, karena ada sekitar 20 orang kelaparan dan sedang berbuka puasa. Itu contoh kecil saja. Ternyata sangat tidak mudah membuat peraturan yang operatif berdasarkan SYARIAH ISLAM. Teman-teman bule di kantor sempat mencandai kami. Kata mereka: "Agama kalian kok bikin peraturan agar kalian sendiri repot........ :=)) ***** Soal polisi syariah juga lagi ramai dibincangkan oleh koran-koran di Malaysia. Ceritanya, Majelis Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan (MAIWP) membentuk pasukan sukarela yang bertugas mengamati gejala-gejala "tidak sehat" di masyarakat yang bertentangan dengan syariat Islam. Pasukan ini - yang direkrut dari orang awam - berkewajiban mengontak MAIWP untuk tindakan selanjutnya. Sepintas, pasukan sukarela ini mirip-mirip FPI. Bedanya, di Malaysia mereka tak berwenang melakukan tindakan fisik. Tugasnya hanya memata-matai. Di lain pihak, kabinet Malaysia secara bulat telah melarang pembentukan pasukan sukarela itu. Alasannya, dikhawatirkan terjadi 'power abuse' oleh sukwan-sukwan syariah tersebut. Tahun lalu kabinet Malaysia juga melarang pembentukan pasukan sejenis di Melaka yang dijuluki Mat Skodeng. Pada tahun 1996, pasukan sejenis malah berurusan dengan polisi karena penyelewengan wewenang. Rangkuman dari tulisan Alex, Bimo Ario Tejo dan St. Sabri _______________________________________________ Artikel terkait Aceh: Setahun setelah bencana, polisi susila merajalela Banda Aceh, Indonesia -- The morality enforcers, a squad of men clad in green trousers and white shirts and women in white head scarves, stride on to this provincial capital's tsunami-scarred beach to weed out sin. After descending from a pickup truck, the enforcers -- patterned after the religious police of Saudi Arabia -- check identity cards of a couple who had been munching corn on the cob while staring at the sea. The man and woman, obviously sweethearts, are given a stern warning and told to go their separate ways. Next, they rebuke a young woman for wearing "un-Islamic" blue jeans, even though she is wearing a head scarf as required by Aceh province's 2-year-old Shariah law, based on Islamic principles as set out in the Quran. "I hate this place; there are so many rules," the young woman, who identified herself only as Wiva, said in fluent English. "I mean, who do these guys think they are?" The Wilayatul Hisbah, which loosely translates as "the control team," scour the ruins for other would-be sinners, and appear disappointed when they don't find any. After their arrival, most young couples had fled the beach on motor scooters. Aceh's religious police were created a year before the earthquake and tsunami struck a year ago, killing an estimated 170,000 Acehnese and devastating one of Indonesia's richest provinces. They had kept a low profile, largely ignored by a populace that most observers say has never been too keen on the hard-line Islamic legal system imposed by Jakarta in 2002. Critics say it was a cynical ploy to win over Muslim clerics during the government's nearly three- decade war with separatist guerrillas of the Free Aceh Movement, or GAM. A peace agreement was signed in August. Since the tsunami hit Aceh, Islamic fundamentalists, emboldened by a common belief that the disaster was heaven-sent to punish nonpracticing Muslims, have redoubled their efforts to punish so- called sinners. Some have even blamed the giant waves on women for ignoring Islam. Al Yasa Abubakar, the director of Wilayatul Hisbah, insists his organization concentrates on gentle persuasion and setting a good societal example. But in smaller towns, witnesses say the religious police have unleashed bully-boy tactics against mainly poor women. Fatimah Syam, of Indonesian Women for Legal Justice, claims 20 women and girls have been publicly humiliated in the port town of Lhokseumawe in the past few months. They have not only been arrested, but all were given public haircuts and paraded through the streets while broadcasting their so-called sins over a megaphone. "They seek out women without head scarves or unmarried girls meeting boys in private places and parade them through the streets in an open car," said Syam. "I've seen the police laughing and boasting, and the girls in tears. We never heard of this parading before the tsunami." Other critics say the religious police purposely avoid the rich and powerful. Last month, Syam said, the wife of a prominent governmental official was caught without a head scarf while riding a motor scooter and then quickly released. The client of a prostitute was also quietly released, although the woman was paraded through Lhokseumawe. At a conference on Shariah law this month in Lhokseumawe, Syam received a loud cheer for asking why the Wilayatul Hisbah did not target corrupt officials. Yet there also were cheers for Marluddin Jalil, an Islamic judge, after he told the assembled: "The tsunami occurred because of the sins of the people of Aceh. The Holy Quran says that if women are good, then a country is good." With reconstruction efforts off to a slow start, irrational fears of a second tsunami and nearly 500,000 people still homeless in a devastated belt stretching along 500 miles of Aceh coastline, such sentiments fall on fertile ground. In the past year, more than 100 men and women have been caned, mostly for drinking alcohol and gambling. Some Shariah hard-liners want to introduce amputations for thieves. "Sin starts small and gets bigger," Jalil said, insisting that the religious police are not recruited from the ranks of street toughs, as some opponents claim. Jalil, who says Acehnese have become more God-fearing since the tsunami, says his next target is a camp for homeless people outside Lhokseumawe, where he has heard young men and women mingle freely. "Another tsunami is possible," he said. "The Holy Quran says that if humans don't listen to God, they will be punished, although it might not be a tsunami. Next time it might be a big storm." To be sure, the religious police don't always have it their way. In one incident on the island of Sabang, an attempt to humiliate a bareheaded girl backfired after angry villagers began flicking lighted cigarettes at them. The enforcers eventually were rescued by civil police. But in the fetid, overcrowded refugee camps where 67,000 Acehnese still live in tents and 75,000 in temporary wooden shacks, many fear another tsunami sent by God is on the way. Barely more than half the survivors are back at work, drug abuse is growing among the young, and wild supernatural and religious theories about last December's disaster thrive, with endless stories of ghosts, miracle escapes and divine retribution. Earlier this month, the American and Indonesian Red Cross organized an "American Idol" type show to cheer up survivors in Barak Lampaseh camp in Banda Aceh, a community that lost 364 family heads out of 400. The winner, 12-year-old Sehila Mentari, sang a song that described how God sent the tsunami to punish the sinful. Marzuki Lidan, 46, who lost his wife and children, was among Mentari's enthusiastic fans. "The Shariah police are good Muslims and they are doing an excellent job," he said. "We must listen to them and follow God's rules. Otherwise the tsunami will happen again." http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgif=/c/a/2005/12/25/MNGCEGD8KC1.DTL _______________________________________________ __________________________________________________ Apakah Anda Yahoo!?
