kutipan: ***** Linux adalah contoh terbaik proyek Open Source. Kalau MS Windows adalah sistem operasi buatan Microsoft yang pemakai tidak bisa melihat "jeroannya" hanya boleh tinggal pakai di level user interface, maka Linux tersedia "source code" (kalimat-kalimat perintah dalam bahasa pemrograman), yang bebas dibaca oleh pemakai, diubah (misalnya nama Ubuntu Linux diganti SabriNux) dikompilasi ulang dan disebarluaskan kembali. Itu yang dinamakan Open Source. Bisakah konsep Open Source diterapkan dalam pemahaman beragama? Seorang geek yang juga santri membuat tulisan yang menggelitik di http://www.altmuslim.com/perm.php?id=P1450_0_24_0 "Open-Source Ijtihad: Meet The Ijtihackers" ==== kutip === In a closed religious system, an authorized class of interpreters controls access to God's word, claiming exclusive knowledge of how it should be read and applied. This interpretation is done exclusively in the authorized language. The class of interpreters serves as a wall between the believers and God's word, and information flows only one way. Believers are supposed to accept the authorized interpretation, not modify, adapt, or even question it. Innovation happens, but it is controlled by the class of interpreters and it is certainly not called innovation. Any innovation coming from common believers is rejected on the grounds that it would be a corruption of God's word. In an open religious system, God's word is accessible to everyone, and everyone has the freedom to interpret it in their native language. Believers interpret the word of God according to their realities. No interpretation is believed to be applicable to all contexts. Within a specific context, interpretations that make more sense tend to displace interpretations that make less sense. But interpretation is more than coming up with new ideas; those ideas have to be debated and validated by the community, according to their collective understanding of the principles and values of the religion. Certainly, not everyone engages in interpretation, but the freedom exists to do so. Interpretation is innovation, and it is what allows people to improve their religious practice, and what keeps a religious message meaningful and universal. ==== Apakah MS Windows dan OS X analoginya dengan islam eksklusif, islam paling bener/canggih yang penganutnya tidak boleh tahu "kenapa"nya cukup dengan "pokoke itu dari Gusti Allah"? Sementara Distro Linux dan Open Source Software mirip dengan islam "bebas" (bebas mengaji, bebas menafsirkan dan menafsirkan ulang/reinterpretasi, bebas mengamalkan dan bebas mendakwahkannya)? *************** --- In wanita-muslimah@yahoogroups.com, "Tri Budi Lestyaningsih (Ning)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Assalaamu'alaykum wR wB. > Another interesting article.
