Keresahan para anak bangsapun menggelobal, namun yang menjadi pertanyaan adalah, Apakah kita sebagai makluk Alam masih tetap mempunyai spirit cinta damai kemanusiaan? Dan, bagaimana kita musti memulai demi menyelamatkan keterpurukan?

WHAT IF we supposed for a second that we are free and capable to have a say;what would that say be? i learned from them to believe we have an option to either dare ask those questions or else fall into the bizarre whirlwind we are in now. i learned that what we believe is what we get eventually;it always come down to free choices. no body could take that away from us;free choice i mean. on the practical side of it we know the enormous limitations our wishes fight against. even in best circumstances where nations live in democracies and relative justice ;people often find out this world owes us nothing;not even our living. it is not a birthright to be entitled to anything we do not work hard for.and humans primarily work for security;whatever that translates to;and then status. in our case we should be able to see that we are stripped from both in such huge scale we mount to millions and millions and millions who work hard for everything and end up with no security and no status. among nations that amounts to a loss of national security and a loss of national pride . if we are massively approaching life in the right way but end up in failure;then may be we should ask ourselves if we are approaching our lives in the wrong spirit. from experience; most of us know the major obstacle in the way of any kind of change is written and unwritten laws. and in oppressive establishments;even the ideological ones;laws do not necessarily serve justice. that is the worse kind of opposition one faces;unjust laws. but also from experience we know all laws contain loopholes no matter how well versed they are. for those who do not wish to confront head on those laws those loopholes could provide a way around them. no serious activist would ask people to break laws or bend them;or even get tempted to do so. that is for a different caliber of willing people. actual fighters in any nation make the elite minority. malhas proposes that peaceful efforts could compliment the armed resistance and enhance its objectives. it could manifest in so many forms and shapes. a mass movement could start with agreeing to look into what is lawfully ( allowed) and consider all the legitimate options. close inspection of those possibilities might turn out to offer much more than just one acceptable way to proceed. it might even provide a perfect answer for each and every willing person. i am the least qualified to tell others what to do. but i am good at listening to beautiful minds. best laila faisal --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], "the_sangkakala" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: LIBERALIS KAPITALIS tidak lama lagi akan ambruk selaku ideologi. Tanda -tanda sudah amat banyak. Manusia tidak lebih bahagia didalam sistem liberal... penuh perpecahan dan kemunafikan, kejahatan bersenjata, perceraian keluarga, pembunuhan pribadi, obat bius, pelacuran, free sex, aborsi, gay-lesbianisme, pemujaan setan, anak jalanan, kehancuran fisik akibat mabok, ketagihan sex, kekacauan dijalanan, senjata ilegal, pornografi, nudisme, dan puncaknya adalah kegilaan ..madness. depresi , tekanan bathin , frustrasi dan bunuh diri. Kita akan menunggu kehancuran ... pembusukan dari dalam. dan mereka akan lari pada spiritualisme agama.. Sedang Kristen telah gagal memberi jalan keluar sebab tidak mampu meluruskan umat dan penuh pertentangan dalam kitab Injil sendiri. maka inilah peluang bagi Islam untuk tampil menyelamatkan umat dari kehancuran jiwa ... dan ISlam yang akan tampil kedepan adalah Islam rasionalisme ... bukan Islam Liberalisme. Islam yg tegak dgn berlatar belakang nilai-nilai rasio filsafatism yg kuat ....dan kita punya jalan kearah itu dgn telah banyaknya bermunculan intelektual rasional Islam.....semacam Azyumardi Azra, Nurkholish Madjid dll.... Kita tunggu Islam Indonesia meledak bak big bang alam semesta. Islam Rasionalisme adalah Nilai - nilai spirituil Islam yang ditegakkan dgn jalan pemikiran ilmiah rasionalis.... segala yg tidak masuk akal, termasuk dogma yg menyesatkan akan dibabat demi pembaruan Islam. Termasuk pemujaan para syekh, Aulia dan wali... mereka perlu dikritisi dan tidak begitu saja ditelan segala program ajaran. Al Ghazali seorang pencerah Islam yg dipuja umat Islam .... nyatanya punya kekeliruan yg fatal ...yaitu menyingkirkan rasio dan masuk dalam ekstasi spirit nan melenakan...dan akhirnya umat Islam tertinggal dlm hal sains dan tekhnologi dari Kapitalis Kolonialism. Juga Ulama perlu berdialog langsung dgn umat , tidak hanya sekedar semacam Monolog dari atas mimbar.. tetapi juga berdiskusi dan kalau perlu mengakui pendapat jemaah... seandainya benar tentunya. Rasional adalah sesuatu yg penting disaat sekarang....tetapi tidak liberal yg membebaskan segala penafsiran dan bentuk-bentuk Islam yg membikin Islam kehilangan Nilai utama...... Rasional adalah upaya pencerahan dgn jln sistem Ilmiah berfikir ...tidakberpatokan pada empirism dan pragmatism sikap. Islam yg bisa menantang Liberalism Kapitalism adalah Islam Rasionalism Kreatif yaitu dapat berlaku rasional serta Kreatif dlm menghadapi Hidup, serta inovatif atas berbagai bidang kehidupan, baik itu Ekonomi, sosial dan budaya Islam... Kreatifitas ini ditegakkan dgn jalan metode Ilmiah yg dikembangakna Al farabi, Ibn Sina dan Al kindi ....yaitu rasionalim filsafati Islam... --- End forwarded message --- ------------------------ Yahoo!
