IS INJUSTICE THE ROOT OF TERRORISM?
Many Indonesians believe that the root of terrorism is injustice done by the Super
Power. The cliche accusation towards US is its double standard towards other
countries, especially the muslim countries.
I just want to say that the root of terrorism is non injustice, but the human attitude
of certain people towards others. When people easily accuses others as the pagan and
"kafirun", then, I think the root of terrorism is there.
If we analyse further, the root will be discovered in the tradition. In the Islamic
traditions, the trace of using violence against the enemy is very common. Even in the
Islamic school it is still being taught to hate those who are against Islam. Even,
sometimes, we can find easily in the muslim magazines or websites which promote Islam
as the religion of mere obedience. Consequently, the religious education for this
radical muslims is merely a type of indoctrination. Islam becomes a religion of fear,
and not religion of peace.
The hope of the world on Mr. Yudhoyono's shoulder is to bring the peaceful image of
Islam by uprooting every kind of terrorism within Indonesia. With the support of the
world, especially US and Australia, I am sure Mr. Yudhoyono can do this mission. All
Indonesian people should support him in this for the sake of Indonesia's prosperity.
There should not be compromise in fighting terrorism. Hatred against the Western
countries that is flourishing in the muslim communities only prolongs the misery for
the Indonesian people, especially those living in the rural areas.
Soa, what I would say here is just that the root of terrorism is not injustice but
poverty in all aspects: in the education, in understanding the religion and its holy
scripture of Koran, in the economy, and in culture. Don't let this root get stronger.
I am sure the Indonesian muslims will develop their understanding of Islam. With the
efforts of Jaringan Islam Liberal which promotes the peaceful Islam, the Indonesian
muslims will build a new image of Islam in the world. When religion is more human, it
will become more divine. How can we contradict ourselves in believing One God while we
hate others?
God bless Mr. Yudhoyono and the Indonesian people!
