pak KM yang baik, Tulisan yang bapak kirimkan membuat saya tergerak untuk menulis tentang pengalaman dan perasaan saya ketika membaca kasus serupa namun tak sama di majalan sabili. nanti kalau pak KM beneran jadi anggota komnas HAM, kasus sara semacam ini perlu diperhatikan serius supaya tidak diajadikan driver untuk meletupkan emosi masyarakat oleh salah satu pihak yang bergerak di jalur struktural [baca :agama sebagai politik].
Di komisariat HMI dulu cukup banyak majalah SABILI. Pemiliknya sudah barang tentu tak lain dan tak bukan, bang Noval yang waktu itu menjadi ketua komisariat. Konon setelah bang Noval tidak di komisariat lagi, majalah Sabili juga tidak pernah nampak lagi di sana. Aku dulu juga sering membaca majalah Sabili ini. Rasanya membaca Sabili pada waktu itu adalah, "Majalah ini keras. Namun bagaimanapun juga ada berita yang sifatnya alternatif di sana. Dan yang lebih penting lagi, majalah ini berpihak pada upaya pembelaan umat Islam yang termarginalkan secara ekonomi dan politik kekuasaan". Salah satu favorit majalah Sabili untuk ditokohkan, adalah Ahmad Sumargono [yg dekat dengan Prabowo]. Salah satu berita yang membuat hati saya bergejelok adalah berita tentang maraknya kristenisasi di kampus UI. Terutama sekali berita Wawah. Seorang gadis madrasah aliyah asal padang bernama asli Niswah, putri seorang dosen IAIN yang "konon" dihipnotis, diculik, dikristenisasi, di bawa ke gereja di jawa secara gerilya Bahkan keperawanannya sudah pulak direnggut. Waks. Ini kan benar benar keterlaluan. Rasa keadilan saya sangat tergoncang dengan berita ini. Saya lihat sampai sekarang pun masih banyak netters yang teringat dan terkenang selalu dengan kekejian kasus Wawah. Sebuah kasus yang belakangan ini, kalau dipikir pikir lagi, menurut saya agak aneh. Karena meskipun Wawahnya sudah ditemukan, namun tidak ada wawancara langsung tentang apa yang sebenarnya terjadi. Orangtuanya juga tidak pernah diwawancara secara live. Tingkat kemisteriusan beritanya, mirip dengan desas desus kristenisasi di kampung Lio, Depok baru baru ini yang juga dilansir oleh Sabili. Belakangan anak PKS yang dekat dengan saya dan berfungsi menjadi musrif musrifan -saya ndak pernah terlibat dalam ikatan taklim beneran- [mas Chandra Mundiyana] justru mengatakan kalau majalah ini tidak favorable. Terlalu kuat nuansa politisnya, .dan terlalu banyak orang PII nya di redaksinya. Heuh aku ndak ngerti deh gituan. Yang disarankan adalah majalah tarbawi. Tentang politik nanti, akan ada majalah yang lebih islami yang akan terbit. [ternyata belakangan rekan rekan tarbiyah bikin KAMMI, terus dilanjut bikin partai politik -- PK]. Demikianlah Sabili di masa tahun 97. :p Heran juga, aku dulu pegang Kajian kebangsaan bareng mas Dema [acaranya diskusi rutin dgn berbagai tema dan pembicara yang digilir dari kalangan dosen yang alumni HMI], toh berita politik dan dinamika pemikiran islam yang lagi marak model wacananya HMI Ciputat dan seterusnya lewat begitu saja dan terasa asing. Maklum para dosen di Malang, meskipun dulu banyak yang terlibat pergerakan, wacananya adalah wacana tahun 60an. Paling cuman baca buku tokoh muda gerakan islam yang isinya profil Nong Darul Mahmada, Nurul Agustina, Hamid Basyaib, Budi Munawarrahman, Miranda Risang Ayu [favorit saya malah mbak mir itu -- abis yang lain nulisnya pada berat berat, sementara dia menarik banyak simpatik, karena hasil konversi dari katolik ke Islam, dari anak gaul suka rokoan jadi akhwat cantik :) yang concern ke pendidikan anak]. Lucu jadinya ketika ketemu adik kelas. Yang satu, anak hukum unpad juga, juga, akhwat juga ngefans ke miranda juga. Adik kelas yang lain lagi, cowok, sama sama ama miranda kuliah di UTS - univ teknologi sidney, sering ke rumah suami istri miranda ini. Malah gak ngefans sama sekali. "Biasa aja tuh", katanya :p hahahha. Begituah hasilnya kalau dipotret dari jarak terlalu dekat. Kesan biasa juga terjadi ketika datang kawanin anaknya Amin Jamaludin. Itu lho, bossnya LPPI [anak perusahaan DDII] yang dulu hari bikin heboh dengan penggusuran orang Ahmadiah bareng orang FPI. Lha biasa aja gitu orangnya. Kecil, kurus, banyak senyum. persis ama fotonya di media massa waktu jadi korlap penggusuran. Saat itu [97), mulai banyak ikutan kegiatan lintas kamupus. Ikutan seminar tentang gender di IAIN malang toh dengan impresi, para dosen di PSW -- pusat studi wanita itu terlalu mengada ada. Welah dalah. Baru belakangan ketika tahun 98-99 banyak mengulik pisau analisis gender, baru rada ngerti. Ada sesuatu yang salah yang terkonstruksi di masyarakat kita. Itu pun ideologis, ketika bukunya pak yunahar ilyas [dari tesis dia yang membabat aminah wadud muhsin, dll dihadapkan dengan tafsir ibnu katsir], aku melok pak yunahar ilyas. Opo maneh doi orang PKS juga. :p say punya kedekatan emosional dengan teman teman PKS di malang sejak menjadi supervisor ospek di tahun kedua kuliah. Diskusi masalah gender jadi agak matang ketika sejak tahun 2002, tempat kerja saya memberi saya email. Bisa mulai ikutan milisan :) tahun 2003 awal, mulai intens dengan milis wanita-muslimah dan milis apakabar. Banyak hal hal yang sebelumnya saya rasa sudah jadi patokan pasti, ternyata terbongkar dan jadi terlihat rentan. Ujungnya saya merasa perlu melakukan dekonstruksi dan pencarian keseimbangan baru dalam diri saya, dan saya yakin masyarakat kita juga. Akhir kata. Thanks to Sabili, rekan rekan PKS dan Hizbut Tahrir, dan kritik dalam pada gusdur yang dikatakan otaknya seperti tahi, dan kang jalal yang disamakan dengan dajjal. Semua wacana alternatif itu membangun awareness saya, akan cara cara umat islam melakukan pertahanan diri secara minimal. salam, ari condro Kartono Mohamad wrote: > > FYI dan bahan diskusi. > Salam > KM > > -------Original Message----- -- > Muslims accused of blackmail to make student girls convert - > timesonline. co > uk > > Muslims accused of blackmail to make student girls > convert > http://www.timesonl ine.co.uk/ tol/comment/ faith/article146 4601.ece > <http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/faith/article1464601.ece> > - Nicola Woolcock > > Radical Muslims are being accused of blackmailing > young Hindu and Sikh women into changing religion in > "groomed conversions" on campuses. > > The men aggressively target vulnerable university > students by using the fear of being dishonoured to > force them to convert, community leaders have told The > Times.
