[wanita-muslimah] Azyumardi: Suara Islam Cenderung Pilih JK-Wiranto
20/06/2009 - 17:32 Umroh Politik Boediono ‘Ganggu’ SBY Ana Shofiana Syatiri INILAH.COM, Jakarta – Banyak kalangan meyakini umroh 'politik' Boediono yang diajukan Presiden PKS Tifatul Sembiring hanya untuk memoles citra. Karenanya, ajakan ibadah ke tanah suci tersebut bisa berbalik menjadi bumerang dan mengganggu pencitraan SBY. Penilaian bahwa ajakan umroh Tifatul lebih berbau politis terus ditepis. Namun makin deras bantahan makin kencang pula tudingan bahwa kegiatan umroh itu tak ubahnya seperti sebuah upaya pencitraaan. Makna ajakan Pak Tifatul (umroh) jelas untuk merangkul umat Islam. Ini sebagai stempel kalau Pak Boediono merupakan wakil dari umat Islam, kata pengamat komunikasi politik Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH) Tjipta Lesmana. Ajakan tersebut dinilai dalam rangka merangkul rakyat yang selama ini meragukan ke-Islaman Boediono. Selain itu juga berguna untuk meng-conter isu-isu yang selama ini ditujukan kepada Boediono. Jika benar begitu, hal tersebut amat disayangkan Ketua MUI Amidhan. Sebab umroh bagian dari ibadah, bukan politik. Ibadah itu kan tergantung dari niatnya, kalau niatnya untuk memoles citra Boediono dalam suasana Pilpres ini berarti itu dalam tanda kutip bisa diartikan umrah politik. Boleh dikatakan juga politisasi agama, ujar Amidhan. Namun di sisi lain, ajakan PKS juga menunjukkan keseriusan partai tersebut untuk memenangkan pasangan SBY-Boediono pada Pilpres 8 Juli mendatang. Sebab PKS terlihat ingin sekali agar cawapresnya itu jadi kental dengan suasana Islaminya. Apalagi saat ini ada kebimbangan dari arus bawah PKS yang lebih tertarik dengan pasangan Jusuf Kalla-Wiranto, karena pesona jilbab yang dikenakan Mufidah Kalla dan Rugaiya Wiranto. Jika benar umroh Boediono untuk poles citra, akan lebih bagus lagi PKS mengajak serta istri Budiono, Herawati, untuk umroh. Untuk menjawab keraguan masyarakat atas agama yang dianutnya, ya sekalian harusnya PKS ajak istri Boediono umroh juga, cetus Amidhan. Kendati tujuannya untuk memoles citra, namun diingatkan hasilnya malah bisa kebalikan. Bukan citra Boediono yang terangkat, malah pamor SBY ikut tenggelam. Ini bisa jadi bumerang bagi SBY, kata Direktur Eksekutif Reform Institute Yudi Latif. Akan lebih baik jika niat umroh atau naik haji itu muncul dari pribadi Boediono, bukan dari ajakan Tifatul. Apalagi dari sisi kekayaan bisa dibilang mampu pergi umroh maupun berhaji. Misalnya, dalam laporan LHKPN KPK, harta kekayaan Boediono tercatat mencapai Rp 20 miliar. Namun hingga usia menginjak 66 tahun pada 23 Februari lalu, Boediono belum juga terpanggil untuk menunaikan rukun Islam kelima tersebut. Jika diajak Tifatul, kesan didorong-dorong untuk berangkat umroh maupun haji demi mengangkat citra keislaman Boediono lebih ketara untuk menjawab citra Islami yang dimiliki JK-Wiranto. “Saat ini tokoh yang identik dengan ke-Islamannya adalah JK-Wiranto karena keduannya memiliki istri yang mengenakan jilbab, ujar Yudi. Namun bagi Partai Demokrat, ajakan tersebut dinilai positif, apalagi jika Boediono bersedia. Waktu untuk umroh pun di masa tenang, sehingga tidak mengganggu jadwal kampanye Pilpres. Dari pada menunggu di rumah, lebih baik pergi beribadah sambil berdoa agar menang, ujar tim kampanye SBY-Boediono, Max Sopacua. Max tidak takut jika Boediono umroh, citra SBY malah akan drop. Sebab mereka enggan mencampurkan antara urusan agama dan politik. Bumerang dari mana? Apakah orang tidak boleh beribadah? ketus Max. Menerima atau tidaknya Boediono akan ajakan umroh Tifatul, hal tersebut tidak terlalu signifikan untuk pencitraan mantan Gubernur BI itu. Pemahaman seseorang akan agama tidak bisa dilakukan dengan proses instan. Ke-Islaman Boediono tidak bisa diukur dari apakah karena dia pergi haji atau umroh. Pada akhirnya, masyarakat juga yang menilai. [E1] Azyumardi: Suara Islam Cenderung Pilih JK-Wiranto Sabtu, 13 Juni 2009 14:30 WIB | Peristiwa | Politik/Hankam | Dibaca 360 kali Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Pengamat politik Azyumardi Azra memperkirakan, 80 persen suara Islam akan cenderung memilih pasangan Jusuf Kalla-Wiranto karena pimpinan organisasi Massa (Ormas) Islam mengarahkan pengikutnya kepada pasangan ini. Sejauh yang saya lihat, pimpinan Ormas Islam seperti Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) dan Muhammadiyahsecara implisit dan eksplisit sudah mengarahkan warganya pada Jusuf Kalla, kata Guru Besar Sejarah Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Syarif Hidayatullah itu, Sabtu. Azyumardi memprediksi, suara Islam akan utuh masuk ke JK-Win karena pada Pemilu 2009 hanya Jusuf Kalla yang merepresentasikan figur Islam dan memiliki kedekatan dengan Ormas Islam. Berbeda dengan Pemilu 2004, suara Islam terpecah-pecah karena banyaknya figur Islam yang bertarung yakni Hasyim Muzadi (NU), Salahuddin Wahid (NU), Hamzah Haz (NU), Amien Rais (Muhammadiyah), dan Jusuf Kalla (NU), sementara pada Pemilu 2009, hanya JK yang mewakili figur Islam, katanya. Menurut dia, ada tiga faktor yang
[wanita-muslimah] 'Suicide blast' hits Tehran shrine
http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2009/06/2009620132947283202.html UPDATED ON: Saturday, June 20, 2009 17:09 Mecca time, 14:09 GMT 'Suicide blast' hits Tehran shrine At least one person has been killed after a suspected suicide bomber reportedly blew himself up near the shrine of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution. Two other people were wounded in the explosion in Tehran, the Iranian capital, local news agencies reported on Saturday. A terrorist detonated his explosive vest in the Imam Khomeini shrine ... [causing] damage in one section of it, Hossein Sajedinia, Iran's deputy police chief for operations, told the Mehr news agency. Al Jazeera's Teymoor Nabili, who recently returned from covering the Iranian presidential election, said that many people would believe the explosion was a government conspiracy. The official media is widely distrusted ... so irrespective of who really carried out that bombing, I am sure that the protesters on the street will feel that the government has simply engineered something to blame them for something else, he said. 'Forced confrontation' But he said that it was possible that the People's Mujahidin of Iran, a group which calls for the overthrow of the Islamic republic, could have carried out the attack. They have dwindled in number and they have certainly dwindled as far as credibility is concerned, but you can't write off the fact they may still have some capability, he said. Mehrdad Khonsari, a former Iranian diplomat, told Al Jazeera: We have to wait and see who instigated that blast ... but the whole point is the regime has forced a situation whereby there is a confrontation. They have tried to intimidate the protesters from not coming and not embarking on the course which they have. That has apparently failed. So the question is, how much more can this situation escalate? If this blast has led to the death of a number of people, this will infuriate the masses and it will propel them to want to engage. This is how revolutions happen. The explosion took place as police fired tear gas and water cannon at thousands of protesters gathered in Tehran to protest over the disputed re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president.

[wanita-muslimah] Iran warns opposition against staging street rally
http://www.gulfnews.com/region/Iran/10324518.html Iran Iran Supporters of opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi have planned a massive rally in Tehran later on Saturday. Iran warns opposition against staging street rally AP Published: June 20, 2009, 13:25 Tehran: Iran's opposition leader received another stern warning on Saturday not to encourage his supporters to take to the streets a day after the country's top leader sought to end the deepening election crisis by effectively declaring President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the winner. Supporters of opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi have planned a massive rally in Tehran later on Saturday, but it was unclear if he would attend and how large the rally would be after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ordered opposition leaders on Friday to end street protests or be held responsible for any bloodshed and chaos to come. Iran's Interior Ministry reiterated the warning to Mousavi on Saturday, saying he would be held responsible for the consequences of any illegal gatherings. The ministry also accused the 67-year-old former prime minister of supporting protests that have lead to the disruption of security and public order, State Security Council secretary, Abbas Mohtaj, said in a statement on the ministry's website. The warnings place Mousavi at a pivotal moment. He can either back down or risk a crushing response from police and the forces at Khamenei's disposal - the powerful Revolutionary Guard and their volunteer citizen militia, the basij. There also are questions about Mousavi's ability to control his own followers, many who are waiting for a clear response to Khamenei's edict on Friday before Saturday's planned rally. Mousavi, who accuses the government of widespread voter fraud in the June 12 election, and the two other candidates who ran against Ahmadinejad were to meet with Iran's Guardian Council on Saturday. The council, an unelected body of 12 clerics and Islamic law experts close to Khamenei, investigates voter fraud claims. The council has said it was prepared to conduct a limited recount of ballots at sites where candidates claim irregularities. It not clear, however, if they have initiated any investigations. It also was unclear if the planned rally on Saturday would take place, and if so, how many people would attend. Hundreds of thousands of Mousavi supporters have flooded Tehran streets during several massive marches earlier this week that recall the scale of protests during the 1979 Islamic Revolution. In a first sign of possible resistance to Khamenei's orders came shortly after nightfall in Tehran Friday. Cries of Death to the dictator! and Allahu akbar - God is great - rang from rooftops in what's become a nightly ritual of opposition unity. Since the June 12 election, Mousavi has become the figurehead for a broad collection of demonstrators - from the most liberal-leaning reformists to religious conservatives. Some could be prepared to take their protests to the limit, but many others have no interest in an all-out mutiny against the country's Islamic system. Khamenei was blunt Friday about what a wider fight would bring - warning those who want to ignore the law or break the law will face the consequences. Police clashed with protesters in running battles around Tehran immediately after the election and the basij militia had a reported role in attacks at the university. Gunfire from a basij compound in Tehran also left at least seven people dead on Monday. But the full force of the police and Revolutionary Guard has remained in check. And this was Khamenei's implicit message since the Guard and the vast volunteer militia force it controls is under direct command of the ruling clerics [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Road to death
http://www.arabnews.com/?page=13section=0article=123826d=20m=6y=2009 Saturday 20 June 2009 (26 Jumada al-Thani 1430) Road to death Saad A. Al-Ghamdi | Okaz If you want to travel on any of our roads, don't forget to write your last will and testament. This is because death may be waiting for you. You might find death in those companies carrying out maintenance and construction who leave their equipment and construction debris strewn across roads. Often, drivers are surprised to see these traps and wake up in hospitals or even die. This negligence does not cost the construction company anything because it does not pay compensation and does not pay any fines because such laws do not exist. You find death at road entrances and exits with no signs and no clear instructions regarding which oncoming autos have the right of way. You see cars driving everywhere with each driver thinking he has a priority over others. Also, you are sometimes surprised by a speed bump. Other highways running between cities lack fences on both sides to block either cars or animals from crossing in front of cars. So drivers should expect a surprise to happen at any time, as if the road was designed to sharpen the ability of drivers to predict what is going to happen. You also see cars driven by drivers who are occupied with unfinished business on mobile phones, reading newspapers or are busy chatting with other passengers. This could lead to death. We might be one of the first countries when it comes to road accidents compared with our per capita population. We should trace the roots of this problem. Is it the roads or the drivers? Or is it the absence of clear supervision from authorities? Authorities should work hard to reduce the number of accidents and deaths. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Iran's new adversary
http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2009/952/fr1.htm 18 - 24 June 2009 Issue No. 952 Published in Cairo by AL-AHRAM established in 1875 Iran's new adversary In Tehran, Mustafa El-Labbad watches as the regime faces what could be its most dangerous foe yet, calls for change that originate not from outside but are being raised on Iranian streets Iranians have now turned their attention to the Guardian Council, the body charged with conducting a probe into the complaints of vote rigging filed by presidential candidates Mir-Hussein Mousavi and Mohsen Rezai. A spokesman for the council, which is constitutionally responsible for ascertaining the probity of presidential elections, announced that the council has no intention to nullify Friday's results but will allow partial recount in constituencies where irregularities are alleged to have taken place. It was not just the candidates and their supporters who pressed for a probe. Speaker of parliament Ali Larijani, too, demanded proof, conferring upon the Mousavi cause a useful stamp of moral and legal approval. Larijani, a prominent opponent of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, also censured Minister of Interior Sadeq Mahsouli, holding him responsible for the violent clashes in Tehran and ordering an investigation into the death of 12 students and other civilians in the clashes. In the hope of averting further violence the opposition moved its demonstrations Monday evening from Vali Asr Square, where Ahmadinejad's supporters were rallying, to Vank Square. Eye witnesses report that the two demonstrations passed without incident. As though determined to demonstrate his grip on the situation, President Ahmadinejad travelled to Russia to participate in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. Meanwhile, in Tehran, a huge rally of Ahmadinejad supporters assembled in a venue that had been scheduled to host a pro-Mousavi demonstration. The reformist candidate urged his supporters not to go ahead with their demonstration there in order to avoid clashes, but Ahmadinejad's message was clear: he was warning the Mousavi camp that they would pay a high price for questioning the election results. Touring the Bakhtari tribal areas near Isfahan, Al-Ahram Weekly found solid support for Ahmadinejad. Most of those interviewed admired the incumbent for fighting corruption. There have been unconfirmed reports of the arrest of two prominent reformists, Said Hajarian and Mohamed Ali Abtahi. The former had been a senior official in Iranian intelligence, the latter a director of the president's office under Mohamed Khatami. If the report, cited in the Pakistani English language News International newspaper, is true, the opposition will be deprived of two powerful supporters known for their organisational skills. The Weekly learned from a media source close to the Ahmadinejad camp that fighting corruption, and purging the institutions of the state, top the Iranian president's agenda for his new term. The remark hints at a showdown with Hashemi Rafsanjani, whom Ahmadinejad accused of corruption during a televised campaign debate on the eve of the polls. His aim is to unify Rafsanjani's political and ideological opponents behind him, further polarising the climate in Iran. According to the same source, the elections were fair and accurately reflected the popular will, adding that the president's team believes that the huge pro-Ahmadinejad turnout and their refusal to give in to the opposition will eventually sap opposition demonstrations. The opposition is determined not to give their adversaries any legal pretext for clampdowns and detentions. They have kept their demonstrations as peaceful as possible, while simultaneously pressing for the intervention of the constitutional and legal authorities in the hope of gradually gaining an edge over the Ahmadinejad camp. Earlier this week, Mousavi wrote to the Supreme Guide urging him to order a revote on the grounds of clear irregularities. He repeated his request to the Guardian Council, asking it to investigate specific irregularities and recount the votes in certain districts. The council has agreed to recount disputed votes in the election. But it hasn't agreed to annul the results. Observers detect a new thrust in opposition tactics, involving pro-Mousavi spokesman abroad. Speaking from Paris, Iranian filmmaker Mohsen Makhbalbaf announced that Mousavi's supporters would continue demonstrating and appealed to a religious authority to issue a fatwa declaring Ahmadinejad's presidency illegitimate. The Mousavi camp has faced problems in mobilising supporters. SMS messaging has been blocked, as has Mousavi's website. Supporters, as a result, have had to resort to more traditional forms of communication, not always successfully. In one demonstration several days ago protesters chanted Tomorrow at 5:00 in Vali Asr
[wanita-muslimah] Leader: All four candidates belong to Islamic system
http://www.tehrantimes.com/index_View.asp?code=197114 June 20, 2009 Leader: All four candidates belong to Islamic system Tehran Times Political Desk TEHRAN - Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has said all four presidential candidates belong to the Islamic system and thus all pursue their complaints through legal channels. He made the remarks in his sermons delivered at Friday prayers in Tehran. The Leader stated that the presidential election's 'unprecedented' turnout of almost 85 percent hit the enemy like a 'political earthquake' and became a cause for a 'real celebration' for the friends of the country. Ayatollah Khamenei said the high turnout in the election, in which about 40 million Iranians cast ballots, was a great manifestation of the people's solidarity with the Islamic establishment. He went on to say that the June 12 presidential election showed that the Iranian nation has a 'common sense of responsibility' to determine the destiny of the country. All those who took part in the election proved their 'political consciousness and commitment' to the Islamic establishment to the entire world, he added. The Islamic Republic of Iran will by no means betray the votes of the nation, he asserted. However, Ayatollah Khamenei maintained that the Guardian Council, the body tasked with overseeing the election, would look into the complaints of the candidates who are unhappy about the election results. The Leader stated that the establishment would never give in to illegal demands and urged all presidential candidates to pursue their complaints through legal channels. He also called on the people to halt the illegal street demonstrations over the election results. Following the announcement of the outcome of the election, supporters of the defeated candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi -- who has rejected the election results -- took to the streets of Tehran and other cities in daily rallies. It must be determined at the ballot box what the people want and what they don't want, not in the streets, he said. The Leader also urged all presidential candidates to be vigilant in the face of enemy plots to sow the seeds of discord in the nation. Ayatollah Khamenei stated that the enemies are trying to undermine the people's trust in the establishment. The Leader also warned about foreign media outlets' efforts to destabilize the country and blamed Britain in particular. On June 12, President Ahmadinejad was reelected president with almost 25 million votes, which was over 60 percent of the vote. His three challengers were Mir-Hossein Mousavi, Mahdi Karroubi, and Mohsen Rezaii. The Leader said the time is over for rivalry and stated that everyone should unite and line up behind the president-elect. He stated that the election was fair and ruled out any allegations of fraud in the presidential election, insisting that the Islamic system does not cheat voters. Iran's laws do not allow vote rigging, especially at the level of 11 million, he said, referring to Ahmadinejad's victory margin. If the difference was 100,000 or 500,000 or 1 million, well, one may say fraud could have happened. But how can one rig 11 million votes? Ayatollah Khamenei asked. The Leader said the only way to resolve the complaints is through legal channels, adding, I will not surrender to illegal precedents. If the legal framework is broken today, no election will be trusted in the future, he added. Ayatollah Khamenei also stated that all groupings should refrain from going to extremes. If the political elites violate the law, unintentionally or on purpose, they are responsible for the bloodshed, aggression, and chaos. In a reference to the presidential debates, in which the incumbent president accused the families of Expediency Council Chairman Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and former parliament speaker Ali-Akbar Nateq-Nouri of financial corruption, the Leader said, Concerning relatives of these individuals or others, whoever has any case to raise, he should just pursue those cases through legal channels. Without proving anything, nothing should be mentioned. As long as an accusation is not proven, there is no difference between individuals and nobody should then be accused [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

About 150 others were injured in the blast, which happened near a Shia mosque, officials said. At least a dozen nearby mud-brick homes were flattened by the explosion, and the mosque also was badly damaged. The latest attack comes days before US forces are due to withdraw from towns and cities in Iraq, leading to concerns that violence could escalate. Hours beforehand, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki had promised the withdrawal would go ahead as promised, calling it a great victory. Don't lose heart if a breach of security occurs here or there, he said. The attack happened as worshippers were leaving the packed Al-Rasoul mosque, run by the minority Turkmen community, after midday prayers. The force of the blast left a deep crater in the ground. Victims were ferried to Kirkuk's main Azadi Hospital, where there were chaotic scenes as bloodied casualties, including children, were rushed into wards. Kirkuk, about 250km (155 miles) from Baghdad, was the scene of two suicide bombings last month, in which 14 people were killed. The city is the centre of northern Iraq's oil industry, and home to a volatile mix of Kurds, Arabs, Christians and members of the Turkmen community. The US plans to withdraw its troops from Iraqi cities and major towns by 30 June, and is due to end combat operations across Iraq by September 2010, leaving Iraqi security forces to cope alone. There are concerns that insurgents may try to take advantage of the withdrawal, although the country's leaders say Iraqi forces are capable of handling internal security without US support [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Witnesses said that dozens of people were hospitalised after being beaten by police and pro-government militia in the capital, Tehran, on Saturday. Lots of guards on motorbikes closed in on us and beat us brutally, one protester said. As we were running away the Basiji [militia] were waiting in side alleys with batons, but people opened their doors to us trapped in alleys. Supporters of Mir Hossein Mousavi, a defeated reformist candidate, had planned to stage a rally in the city's Revolutionary Square, but arrived to find their way blocked by police. A witness told Al Jazeera that police were turning people away. The roads were pretty much blocked by the militia, they were out with retractable metal batons. It looked like they were very frantically trying to keep people from the area, he said.

Al Jazeera's Alireza Ronaghi, reporting from Tehran, said that the protests had largely been quelled by Saturday evening. The presence of security forces were very high, they definitely wanted to take back the streets of Tehran ... right now I don't expect that many protesters are concentrated anywhere in Tehran, he said. He said that state television had quoted the head of Iran's police force as thanking the Iranian people for not taking to the streets and taking the police warnings seriously. As the clashes took place, a suspected suicide bomber blew himself up outside the shrine of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the Islamic revolution in 1979, injuring at least two people, local news agencies reported. As night fell, the protesters kept up their show of defiance shouting Allahu Akbar (God is greatest) from the rooftops, a deliberate echo of a move made during the Islamic revolution in 1979. Barack Obama, the US president, condemned the violence and urged Tehran to allow Mousavi's supporters to stage peaceful protests. The Iranian government must understand that the world is watching, he said. We mourn each and every innocent life that is lost. We call on the Iranian government to stop all violent and unjust actions against its own people.

[wanita-muslimah] Buy the rumor and sell it as a fact
http://www.arabnews.com/?page=7section=0article=123843d=20m=6y=2009 Saturday 20 June 2009 (26 Jumada al-Thani 1430) Buy the rumor and sell it as a fact Tariq Al-Maeena | talmae...@aol.com There's an old proverb that says, What you don't see with your eyes, don't witness with your mouth. But how many of us can resist the temptation to believe rumors? Rumors are defined as pieces of unverified information and of uncertain origin. In the not so distant past, our mouths were the main conduits for such untruths and our audience was limited to those within our earshot. But as technology gradually took over most of our daily functions, the mobile phone with messaging services today is the predominant source for the dissemination of such unverified information. Rumors range from the funny to the outlandish, and occasionally to the downright malicious. And the effortlessness with which they gather storm today is alarming, especially if they border on spiteful intent. Take the case of an SMS that made the rounds recently, not just in Saudi Arabia, but in the region as well. While I had deleted the message as soon as I had read it and cannot reprint the exact wording, the contents went along the following lines: A McDonald's employee has been discovered as having been afflicted with the H1N1 (swine flu) virus, and patrons are well advised to stay clear of all McDonald's outlets. It implied that McDonald's was concealing such information from the general public. The message also stated the name of the worker. This name was later found out to be the name of a street in Cairo, on which several fast food outlets carried out their trade, raising doubts about the origin of this particular SMS. The intent of the message was obviously to frighten people and hurt McDonald's. I would hazard a guess that some people who received the message restrained themselves or their family members from eating out at McDonald's or other fast food outlets. I say this with confidence as that particular message made its way through various e-mails with varying degrees of alert and caution. Swine flu is very much in the news these days, and one has to welcome the transparency exercised by our Ministry of Health in reporting and dealing with this latest outbreak. Newspapers daily carry items relating to new cases discovered in the Kingdom, and report on plans from the health officials on how to meet this pandemic head on. Had one of the staff at the McDonald's been indeed a carrier of such a virus, it would have certainly been reported by the ministry and immediately made public. And yet many found it easier to believe the message. Is it human nature to believe just about everything we are told, without taking any effort to verify such claims? Now I know the folks running the McDonald's enterprise in the western region, and I know for a fact that many of their family members patronize the various outlets. They follow extremely ethical business practices and I believe them when they rubbish such rumors. And no, I'm not getting a free meal, up-sized and all, by making such statements either! Preying on human naiveté and fears, such nasty and unverified messages invariably hurt honest establishments. Back in the 19th century, the distinguished English novelist Maria Louise Ramé wrote, a cruel story runs on wheels, and every hand oils the wheels as they run. And so folks, the next time you receive an SMS stating that Britney Spears has converted to Islam, or the shampoo you are using will cause you cancer, or the meat patties in a hamburger are not halal, contact the individual or establishment in question for verification or use Snopes.Com. Or else, press delete on your mobile phone and move on. The Holy Qur'an says: O you who have believed, if there comes to you a disobedient one with information, investigate, lest you harm a people out of ignorance and become, over what you have done, regretful.

[wanita-muslimah] Asean And Rapid Global Change
http://www.asiasentinel.com/index.php?option=com_contenttask=viewid=1941Itemid=590 Friday, 19 June 2009 Asean And Rapid Global Change Written by Terry Lacey The Southeast Asian alliance needs to grow up As Jusuf Wanandi pointed out recently in Indonesian media, Asia is getting more motivated and better structured so it should be able to follow on from the October 2008 Western economic crisis and reinforce the role of the G20, effectively helping to replace the G8 rich man's club of Western nations. But constraints must be resolved, or the region could miss the bus to more rapid recovery, by going too slowly on global and regional economic change. First, if Asean is to be the engine of Asian economic integration, then it needs more push and speed. Second, Myanmar is holding Asean back, a permanent spanner in the works. Neither Asean nor the EU or US can afford this any more. Third, despite the growing weight of G20 economies, Western nations still pack a disproportionate political punch in international economic institutions. Several Asian countries are looking to recover from recession (Singapore, Thailand, Japan) while China, India and Indonesia maintained positive growth in 2009, at 8, 6 and 4.4 percent respectively. In Indonesia Stock Exchange capitalization rose by 31 percent from January to May, the bond market is bouncing along and Indonesia has the highest figures for several years on consumer confidence. Confirming the wealth of the Indonesian super-rich, sales of Ferrari California luxury cars costing up to US$500,000 each rose from 16 in 2007, to 30 in 2008, to 40 by June of 2009. And Indonesia is amazingly cutting unemployment now, holding it at below 8.3 percent, with further falls expected in 2009. The main Asian regional and structural reactions to the global crisis are on the right lines, but the advantages come with implementation and consolidation: First, to improve coordination of moves towards economic integration in East Asia, including free trade, trade financing and currency swaps, more steps to reduce dependency on the US dollar and on common currency possibilities. Second, to strengthen strategic links between East Asia and the Pacific Rim (via APEC -the Asia Pacific Economic forum) and to make progress with the EU (via ASEM - the Asia-Europe Meeting, but moving onto the much-delayed trade agreement). Third, to coordinate joint pressure to strengthen the influence of the Asean, Asian and G20 states in the restructuring of global economic institutions, notably the World Bank group (WB), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Trade Organization (WTO). However Jusuf Wanandi also acknowledged that given the size of the crisis and the urgency, it really took a lot of time for Asean+3 to get its act together on trade financing and to support the Chiang Mai Initiative. Five of the G20 powers are in Asia (China, Japan, Indonesia, South Korea and Australia). The 10 nation Asean group already regularly meets as Asean + 3 - along with China, South Korea and Japan. This group is moving towards an interconnected set of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). We are now on the way to Asean + 3 + 3 including Australia, New Zealand and India, as conceived by the Comprehensive Economic Partnership in East Asia (CEPEA), moving towards an Asean + 6 FTA, according to Mun-Heng Toh, writing May 15 in the East Asia Forum. But Indonesia, with its strong consumer economy, state enterprises and state-backed measures can protect its domestic economic interests and still make progress on FTAs. Asean should not fall into the trap of the Caribbean Community or other trade groupings in Latin America or Africa of doing too little too late and then wondering about lack of progress. Exceptions, derogations and delays on specific measures are the staff of life of trade agreements. FTAs do not have to mean you throw out the baby with the bath water. The Asean problem was summed by up Kavi Chongkittavorn in the New Nation of Bangkok, that Asean`s old members want the new Asean, while Asean`s new members still want the old one. More rapid success by hard progress the new way, or failure by slow consensus the old way. That's the choice now.

[wanita-muslimah] Bom di Makam Khomeini Tewaskan Dua Orang
http://www.antaranews.com/view/?i=1245520397c=INTs=TIM Bom di Makam Khomeini Tewaskan Dua Orang Minggu, 21 Juni 2009 00:53 WIB Teheran (ANTARA News) - Dua orang tewas dalam pemboman bunuh diri Sabtu di makam pemimpin revolusi Iran, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, televisi negara melaporkan. Press TV, siaran berbahasa-Inggris milik pemerintah Iran, mengatakan delapan orang juga terluka dalam pemboman itu, yang mungkin untuk meningkatkan kemarahan di antara masyarakat Iran yang memuja-muja pendiri Republik Islam tersebut. Press TV kemudian mengatakan penyerangnya juga tewas, tanpa mengatakan apakah mereka menganggap pembom tersebut di antara kedua orang yang tewas itu. Kantor berita setengah-resmi Fars mengatakan pemboman itu terjadi di sayap utara makam. Laporannya telah dikonfirmasikan oleh seorang pejabat senior polisi. Di tempat lainnya di Teheran, polisi anti-kerusuhan Iran telah menggunakan gas air mata untuk membubarkan demonstran yang memprotes terhadap pemilihan presiden yang diperselisihkan, seorang saksi mengatakan pada Reuters. Press TV mengatakan polisi juga telah menggunakan meriam air terhadap demonstran di lapangan Enghelab di Teheran.(*) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] TAJUK: Gizi Buruk Menuntut Keseriusan Pemerintah
Refleksi : Ini yang dibilang NKRI HARGA MATI. Rakyat miskin kalau sakit atau kekurangan gizi seperti teken kontrak kematian karena tidak mendapat pertolongan selayaknya dari yang disebut negara. http://www.lampungpost.com/cetak/berita.php?id=2009061905163054 Jum'at, 19 Juni 2009 OPINI TAJUK: Gizi Buruk Menuntut Keseriusan Pemerintah PENDERITA gizi buruk, Sukria, terpaksa dibawa pulang dari Rumah Sakit Umum Abdul Moeloek (RSUAM) sebelum masa pengobatannya tuntas, Rabu (18-6). Padahal, bocah berusia 9 tahun itu masih koma dan dokter tak mengizinkan keluarga membawanya pulang. Tapi, tak ada kekuatan yang bisa menghalangi orang tua Sukria. Sukria telah dirawat selama 21 hari di RSUAM. Menilik kompleksitas penyakitnya--selain gizi buruk bocah itu juga menderita meningitis tuberkolosis--dokter memperkirakan perlu perawatan 1--2 bulan. Tapi, orang tua Sukria beralasan memperpanjang perawatan buah hatinya berarti kesulitan ekonomi bakal kian mengimpit. Ia tak mampu lagi membayar rumah sakit, transportasi, dan akomodasi selama di Bandar Lampung. Kita tidak tahu kondisi Sukria di rumahnya. Bisa jadi ada keajabiban. Tetapi, di rumah sakit yang tersedia dokter, peralatan medis, dan obat-obatan saja Sukria tak lekas membaik. Sukria hanya salah satu kisah sedih dari sekian banyak penderita gizi buruk di Provinsi Lampung. Sebelumnya seorang balita dari Panjang, Maulana, bahkan harus dijemput maut karena persoalan serupa. Di provinsi berpenduduk 7,3 juta ini sedikitnya terdapat 68 penderita serupa yang tercatat di Dinas Kesehatan Lampung. Data ini tentu belum valid belaka. Pertama, karena belum seluruh kabupaten/kota menyerahkan data terakhir. Kedua, boleh jadi lebih banyak penderita serupa yang tidak tercatat secara resmi. Gizi buruk adalah PR besar bagi pemerintah dan masyarakat Lampung. Sebab, dari tahun ke tahun kisah sedih ini selalu terulang dan belum ada tanda-tanda penurunan yang siginifikan. Padahal, provinsi ini tengah gencar melakukan perang terhadap kemiskinan. Yang lebih ironis, gizi buruk muncul di tengah penghargaan dalam bidang ketahanan pangan yang diraih enam kabupaten/kota di Provinsi Lampung. Enam kabupaten/kota itu adalah Bandar Lampung, Lampung Timur, Lampung Barat, Metro, Tanggamus, dan Way Kanan. Mereka mendapat anugerah Program Peningkatan Produksi Beras Nasional (P2BN) yang diberikan langsung Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono 8 Juni silam. Apa artinya itu semua? Benarkah penghargaan itu mencerminkan realitas yang sesungguhnya? Adakah itu itu hanya angka-angka di atas kertas? Jika benar, berarti ada distribusi pangan yang tidak merata. Ternyata prestasi itu tidak berdampak bagi masyarakat luas. Selain itu, dalam berbagai kesempatan kita mendengar pemerintah amat perpihak kepada rakyat dengan memberi rupa-rupa bantuan kepada si miskin. Tetapi, apa artinya itu semuanya? Sementara itu, dalam menghadapi gizi buruk Presiden telah pula menginstruksikan antara lain mengaktifkan lagi posyandu, pemeriksaan ibu hamil minimal empat kali selama kehamilan, dan berikan imunisasi lengkap. Selian itu, balita juga mesti ditimbang sebulan sekali, basmi jentik nyamuk dengan 3 M, jaga lingkungan tetap bersih, dan ikuti program Kelurga Berencana. Berjalankah ini semua? Dari sisi regulasi juga tak kurang jelasnya. Sesuai SK Menteri Kesehatan Nomor 1209/1998, setiap kasus gizi buruk diberlakukan sebagai dan masuk dalam kategori kejadian luar biasa (KLB). Sebagai KLB, pemerintah harus melakukan berbagai langkah yang luar biasa pula, bukan dengan cara-cara biasa. Dengan tubuh yang sehat saja tidak ada jaminan provinsi ini mempunyai sumber daya manusia yang tangguh; yang bisa menyumbangkan pikiran-pikiran terbaiknya bagi pembangunan Lampung. Apa jadinya dengan gizi buruk? Dengan penyakit ini kita bepotensi kehilangan satu generasi! Sekali lagi gizi buruk persoalan amat serius yang tidak boleh disikapi dengan biasa-biasa saja. Ini adalah PR besar bagi pemerintah Provinsi Lampung. Gubernur, para bupati/wali kota, camat, para dokter, dan masyarakat harus satu langkah menghadapi gizi buruk ini. Bukti komitmen itu akan kita lihat tahun depan: gizi buruk tak terjadi lagi! [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[wanita-muslimah] Penderita Gangguan Jiwa Susah Mendapatkan Obat
http://www.serambinews.com/news/penderita-gangguan-jiwa-susah-mendapatkan-obat Penderita Gangguan Jiwa Susah Mendapatkan Obat * Di RSJ Banda Aceh Banyak, di Kabupaten/Kota Langka 20 June 2009, 11:22 Utama Administrator BANDA ACEH - Masih banyaknya penderita gangguan jiwa yang dipasung di Aceh, terutama di daerah-daerah terpencil, membuat Dr Andrew Mohanraj, Psikiater dari Aceh Psychosocial Rehabilitation Programme (APRP) prihatin, apalagi kalau penyebabnya karena masyarakat sukar menemukan obat yang bisa mereka berikan untuk anggota keluarga yang menderita gangguan jiwa (psychosocial disorder). Menurut Andrew Mohanraj, ada dua jenis obat dengan harga terjangkau yang bisa mengobati gejala halusinasi pada penderita gangguan jiwa. Obat antipsikotik yang sangat biasa digunakan di negara-negara berkembang adalah Haloperidol dan Chloropromazine untuk menekan gejala halusinasi penderita. Dua obat ini telah keluar sejak lima puluh tahun lalu, katanya usai menyampaikan materi pada workshop yang mengangkat topik Kualitas Hidup Penderita Gangguan Jiwa, di Oasis Hotel, Banda Aceh, Jumat (19/6). Ia mengaku prihatin melihat kenyataan bahwa masih ada juga tempat-tempat di dunia seperti di Aceh, obat seperti ini tidak bisa dengan mudah ditemukan. Padahal obat ini dijual bebas dengan harga relatif murah dan bisa diperoleh dengan resep generik. Penderita gangguan jiwa harus tekun minum obat, disertai dukungan keluarga untuk memastikan penderita minum obat, ujarnya. Selain karena kelangkaan obat, sebagian besar keluarga memasung penderita karena tidak memahami apa yang seharusnya dilakukan untuk penderita, sekaligus melindungi penderita. Mereka tidak mengetahui kalau ada obat yang bisa diberikan untuk mengurangi bahkan menghilangkan gejala (symptom), seperti halusinasi yang kerap menyerang penderita, katanya. Andrew juga menyatakan tidak setuju jika peneliti dari luar mengaitkan pemasungan penderita gangguan jiwa di Aceh dengan pelanggaran hak asasi manusia. Dari berbagai penelitian yang saya lakukan di lapangan, saya temukan fakta bahwa anggota keluarga memasung penderita gangguan jiwa, lebih karena mereka menyayangi dan ingin melindungi penderita dari hal-hal yang tidak diinginkan. Mereka khawatir penderita menyakiti orang lain, lalu mendapat balasan dari masyarakat dengan kembali menyakiti si penderita, baik secara fisik atau cemoohan, katanya. Akui sukar Komentar senada juga disampaikan dr Syahrial SpKj, seorang dari 30 peserta workshop. Menurutnya, di daerah-daerah tingkat dua dan di puskesmas-puskesmas, obat-obat generasi terbaru untuk penderita gangguan jiwa sangat sukar ditemukan. Kalau di Rumah Sakit Jiwa di Banda Aceh sangat cukup dan lengkap dengan jenis obat generasi terbaru. Hanya saja di kabupaten/kota masih sukar ditemukan. Hal ini menyebabkan kesenjangan tindakan pengobatan pasien yang sudah ditangani di RSJ Banda Aceh, saat pulang ke daerahnya, ungkap dia. Ia sangat mengharapkan ada inisiatif dari pemerintah kabupaten/kota mengusahakan di daerahnya masing-masing tersedia obat-obat untuk penderita gangguan jiwa. Minimal jika tidak ada di puskesmas-puskesmas, cukup di RSU kabupaten/kota saja sudah sangat memadai. Kalau ada obat generasi terbaru seperti misperidone dan clozapin itu sudah sangat bagus, tandasnya. Syahrial menilai, kalau obat sudah ada di daerah, pasien dan keluarga tidak perlu membuang uang untuk biaya perjalanan yang banyak untuk berkali-kali datang ke Banda Aceh hanya untuk mengambil obat. Jika obat tersebut tersedia di daerah maka akses penderita untuk mendapatkan obat akan menjadi lebih mudah, pungkasnya. Karena ekonomi Sebelumnya, dr Kris, seorang spesialis jiwa di RSJ Banda Aceh, sebagaimana pernah disiarkan koran ini mengungkapkan, jumlah pasien yang telah sembuh sebenarnya sudah banyak dan mereka sudah keluar dari RSJ Banda Aceh. Tapi karena keluarganya miskin dan kurang melanjutkan pembinaan kepada pasien yang baru sembuh, maka pasien yang telah sembuh itu masuk kembali ke rumah sakit. Menurut Kris, pasien gangguan jiwa yang masuk ke RSJ Banda Aceh, pada umumnya disebabkan dua faktor, yaitu keturunan dan tekanan ekonomi. Pasien yang masuk rata-rata dari keluarga miskin. Karena itu, setelah mereka sembuh dari gangguan jiwanya, karena keluarganya miskin, ia kurang mendapat perhatian ekonomi, maka tak jarang yang masuk lagi. Sedangkan Direktur RSJ Banda Aceh, Drs H Saifuddin AR SPMH MKes mengatakan, jumlah pasien RSJ Banda Aceh hingga posisi Mei 2009, mencapai 315 orang. Jumlah ini memang telah melampaui kapasitas ruang yaitu 220 orang. Menurutnya, saat ini ada sekitar 120 pasien penderita gangguan jiwa yang dipasung di berbagai kawasan Aceh.(ami) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

[wanita-muslimah] Fw: [tobacco control] SURVIVOR TESTIMONY
Original Message From: fuadbara...@yahoo.com Date: 21/06/2009 0:04 To: anti tembakauantitemba...@yahoogroups.com, tobacco control indotc...@yahoogroups.com Subj: [tobacco control] SURVIVOR TESTIMONY Minggu, 2009 Maret 22 CINTAKU PADA ROKOK BERBUAH KANKER PARU DAN KANKER USUS Bulan November 2005 adalah bulan kelabu dimana aku divonis dokter terkena kanker paru-paru dan harus dilakukan pengangkatan sebagian paru kanan atasku yang ada kankernya. Kejadiannya setelah Hari Raya Idul Fitri 2005 aku merasakan badanku yang kurang sehat dan cenderung setiap hari berat badanku turun 1/4 kg sementara aku makan seperti biasa. Dari situlah aku memeriksakan diri ke laboratorium untuk melakukan general cek up, karena sejak berhenti sebagai atlit nasional, aku belum pernah cek up lagi. Dan hasil dari cek up itulah ketahuan kalau di paru sebelah kanan atasku ada tumor sebesar 6 (enam) sentimeter. Sebelumnya aku sudah ada perasaan kalau terkena kanker paru karena aku adalah perokok berat (satu hari rata-rata bisa sampai 60 batang rokok). Saat itu aku menerima dengan tegar karena aku merasa penyakit tersebut akibat dari kebiasaanku merokok sejak remaja. Ironis memang, sementara aku adalah seorang mantan pemain bahkan kapten tim nasional di cabang softball era tahun 1980-1990, yang seharusnya hidup tanpa tembakau/rokok. Padahal sudah gak bosan-bosannya lingkungan di sekitarku menganjurkan aku untuk berhenti merokok tetapi aku menjawab dengan sombong bahwa aku kan atlit, jadi ada alasan untuk merokok tapi sehat. Memang saat itu tidak terlihat akibat dari rokok yang katanya bila seseorang itu merokok maka dia tidak akan kuat untuk berlari jauh, atau dengan kata lain perokok napasnya jadi pendek. Itu tidak terjadi pada diriku. Dan memang aku buktikan di setiap latihan atau dalam pelatnas (pemusatan latihan nasional) kondisi badanku oke- oke aja, jadi buat aku merokok tidak ada pengaruhnya sama sekali. Anakku Albert Alvin Sompie, aku (Berthie Sompie), istriku Yayuk, dan anakku Talita Tamara Sompie. Kebetulan dokter yang memeriksaku setelah ada hasil dari foto rontgen adalah kakakku sendiri yang dokter spesialis paru (Dr. Menaldy Rasmin SpP(K) ). Setelah melalui pemeriksaan yang lebih mendetail yaitu dilakukan broncoscopy dan biopsy, tidak ada jalan lain kecuali dilakukan operasi pengangkatan paru kanan bagian atas yang telah terkena kanker. Saat itulah aku mulai takut karena terus terang selama hidup aku belum pernah yang namanya sakit berkepanjangan apalagi operasi dan harus diopname. Aku mulai menghindar setiap kali kakakku menanyakan kapan siap dioperasi. Aku hanya menjawab besok, besok, dan besok, yang sebenarnya sih aku amat sangat ketakutan untuk operasi. Malahan aku sempat lari ke pengobatan alternatif. Ternyata tidak membuahkan hasil yang aku harapkan. Aku lalu datang ke tempat praktek kakakku dan menanyakan akibatnya bila aku gak mau operasi (sewaktu aku ke pengobatan alternatif kakakku gak tau). Kakakku bilang kalau aku gak dioperasi akan terjadi pembengkakan di tubuh bagian kanan, mulai dari tangan kanan terus ke dada kanan. Nah kalau sudah terjadi pembengkakan maka tidak bisa dilakukan operasi, yang ada hanya bila sakit akan diberi obat anti sakit, bila sesak napas akan diberi obat sesak napas, dengan kata lain aku tinggal menghitung hari untuk mati. Di situlah aku makin ketakutan, menyerah serta pasrah untuk dioperasi. PARU-PARUKU DIPOTONG Operasi mulai disiapkan dan dijadwalkan karena operasi paru adalah operasi besar yang perlu persiapan yang mendetail, mulai dari periksa jantung, paru, gigi, tekanan darah, dan lain-lain yang memerlukan waktu beberapa hari. Di sini aku masih menawar pada kakakku, bahwa aku mau dioperasi tapi pemeriksaan persiapan operasi aku lakukan sambil jalan, jadi aku gak mau opname sejak pemeriksaan persiapan operasi dilakukan. Sebenarnya begini ini gak boleh, tapi karena fasilitas dari kakakku aku diijinkan melakukan pemeriksaan pra operasi tidak dengan nginap di rumah sakit. Aku dijadwalkan dioperasi di RS Persahabatan, Rawamangun, Jakarta. Kebetulan lagi istriku kerja di RS Persahabatan sebagai dokter, dan memang RS Persahabatan adalah rumah sakit untuk paru-paru. Hampir semua pakar paru-paru ada di RS Persahabatan. Aku baru masuk rumah sakit dua hari menjelang operasi yaitu tanggal 24 Desember 2005, dan operasi dilakukan tanggal 27 Desember 2005 jam 08.00 pagi. Operasi diperkirakan memakan waktu sekitar 5 (lima) jam. Saat itu aku merasakan takut yang amat sangat sehingga istriku diijinkan ikut masuk didalam kamar operasi untuk memberi semangat. Aku baru sadar setelah operasi kira-kira jam 07.00 malam. Yang pertama aku lihat adalah istriku, anak-anakku, saudara-saudaraku, juga kakakku yang termasuk dalam tim dokter biarpun dia gak ikut menangani langsung. Kenapa semua orang-orang terdekatku bisa masuk kedalam ICU, karena dapat fasilitas dari direktur RS Persahabatan, sebab kakak dan istriku adalah dokter
[wanita-muslimah] Ethiopia troops 'return to Somalia'
http://english.aljazeera.net/news/africa/2009/06/200962012118631841.html UPDATED ON: Saturday, June 20, 2009 18:39 Mecca time, 15:39 GMT Ethiopia troops 'return to Somalia' Ethiopian troops previously entered Somalia in 2006 to drive out the Islamic Courts Union [File: EPA] Ethiopian troops have reportedly crossed into neighbouring Somalia after it made a plea for foreign troops to help it battle opposition fighters seeking to overthrow the government. Somalia's parliamentary speaker made the request on Saturday after several days of heavy fighting in the north of the capital, Mogadishu. The government is weakened by the rebel forces. We ask neighbouring countries - including Kenya, Djibouti, Ethiopia and Yemen - to send troops to Somalia within 24 hours, Sheikh Aden Mohamed Nur, the Somali parliamentary speaker, said. Ethiopian troops last entered Somalia in late 2006 to support the then-government and drive out Islamic Courts Union fighters led by Sharif Ahmed, the current president. Ahmed later joined the government after signing a UN-brokered peace deal and is now battling former allies from the al-Shabab and Hizbul-Islam groups, which have vowed to topple his government. Border security Al Jazeera's Mohammed Adow, reporting from Nairobi in Kenya, said that it remained to be seen what action Ethiopian forces would take. Ethiopia has got a big stake in what is going on in Somalia because it believes that its security would be threatened if the Islamist militias, such as al-Shabab, take over Somalia, he said. In depth Profile: Sharif Ahmed Timeline: Somalia Inside Story: What next for Somalia Video: Foreign fighters 'invade' Somalia Riz Khan: Somalia - From bad to worse Restoring Somalia A long road to stability Al-Shabab: Somali fighters undeterred Somalia at a crossroads Somaliland: Africa's isolated state But I doubt it is sending its forces into Somalia, unless it gets its actions sanctioned by the United Nations, which would take weeks, if not months. Ethiopia's return to Somalia might be about securing its borders rather than heading to Mogadishu. Nur said that he had been forced to call for help after the opposition fighters had been bolstered by hundreds of foreigners. We have a state of emergency in this country today because foreign fighters from all over the world are fighting the government, he said. Nur also said that an al-Qaeda operative from Pakistan was directing the fighting and was based in the Sanna neighbourhood of Mogadishu, close to the presidential palace. He did not provide any evidence for his claims. The United States has previously said that the al-Shabab movement, which has vowed to topple the government, is supported by al-Qaeda. Mohamed Sheikh Nor, a journalist in Mogadishu, told Al Jazeera that there was likely to be heavy fighting if the Ethiopian troops reached the central and southern areas controlled by the armed opposition groups. There will be confrontations and clashes, he said. Some of the politicians in the government say, however, that the Ethiopian troops can help set up the institutions of the government. Al-Shabab and Hizbul-Islam launched an offensive against government forces on May 7 and more than 300 civilians are believed to have been killed in the resulting fighting. Heavy fighting There were reports of heavy fighting on Saturday in Hamarweh, another suburb near the presidential palace, after clashes in the northern Karan district overnight. I saw heavily armed Islamist fighters advancing onto Hamarweh area. They are firing mortar shells and government forces are retaliating, Warsameh Ahmed, a Mogadishu resident, told the AFP news agency. Kenya had been saying that it will attack the mujahidin of al-Shabab for the last four months. If it tries to, we will attack Kenya and destroy the tall buildings of Nairobi Sheikh Hasan Yacqub, al-Shabab spokesman It seems they are close to taking control of the area. Three high-profile government officials - the security minister, an MP and a senior police officer - have been killed in recent days. More than 4,300 Ugandan and Burundian soldiers are already deployed in Somalia as part of an African Union (AU) force and are charged with protecting strategic sites such as the presidency, the port and the airport. But the troops are not allowed to fight alongside government forces and are authorised only to retaliate if they come under direct attack. Kenya said on Friday that it would not sit by and allow the
[wanita-muslimah] Change in Iran?
http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2009\06\21\story_21-6-2009_pg3_5 Sunday, June 21, 2009 VIEW: Change in Iran? -Dilip Hiro Even if Mousavi did succeed Ahmadinejad, there would be no change in Tehran's stance on the nuclear issue. What would be different would be the style - more measured and nuanced, with diplomatic niceties, shorn of the anti-Israeli, anti-West bluster characteristic of Ahmadinejad For the first time since the founding of the Islamic Republic, following the Shah's overthrow by massive street demonstrations, the power of the state is being challenged. A broad-based coalition of reformist and pragmatic conservative Islamic elements has risen peacefully against the contested re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the hard line clerics, Revolutionary Guard commanders and intelligence officials around him. The unseemly haste with which a landslide victory was attributed to Ahmadinejad has led to a protest unparalleled since the 1979 anti-Shah revolution. The poll was viewed as a referendum not only on the curtailment of social and cultural freedoms of Iranians, and the mismanagement of the economy, but also Ahmadinejad's unnecessarily provocative statements on Iran's relations with the West and Israel, as well as the nuclear issue. So, the outcome of the current crisis will reverberate beyond Iran's border. Shaken by the protest, the supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamanei asked the 12-member Guardian Council to investigate the challengers' complaints. The Council is the ultimate authority for validating the poll. Its decision could go down in history as a crucial turning point for the Islamic Republic and the region. In many ways this election has been different. Traditionally, the Iranian regime loosens its iron grip over dissenters and oppositionists during the presidential election campaign, and rules regarding watching satellite TV are relaxed in a bid to encourage voters to participate in the poll. The three 90-minute TV debates between the incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and each one of his three challengers provided an unprecedented opportunity for the opposition leaders to criticise the government before an estimated audience of 50 million. These no-holds barred debates proved thrilling. This was particularly true of the one between Ahmadinejad and Mousavi, who was Iran's prime minister during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq War. At one point Mousavi derided Ahmadinejad's foreign policy as one founded on adventurism, illusionism, exhibitionism, extremism and superficiality. Also unique to this election, young supporters of Mousavi used text messages as never before to shore up votes for him. Enthusiastic backing by Mohammed Khatami, the elder statesman of the reformist camp, bolstered Mousavi's standing too, and led to massive pre-election rallies. At 84%, voter participation was the second highest after the record 88% in 1997 when seven out of ten voters backed Khatami as president. As a rule, a high turn-out means that more of the upper-middle and upper class Iranians - often secular - bothered to go to the polling stations. In general, as a largely alienated group in a theocratic system, they find voting pointless. The second highest voter turn-out in the eleventh presidential poll on June 12 indicated a surge of support for reformist Mousavi against Ahmadinejad. It was not just the professional pollsters who predicted victory for Mousavi - albeit based on samples limited to ten largest cities - but also a private polling of 5,000 Iranians conducted nationwide for Khamanei. Its result, leaked to the Sunday Times of London, showed 58% backing Mousavi. Little wonder that the official result of 62.6% for the incumbent and nearly 34% for Mousavi - collated and announced within two hours of the polling ending at midnight without the presence of the candidates' monitors - came as a shock to most people in Iran and abroad. Since then, among the varying statistics that have appeared on the opposition websites, one, attributed to an informed source in the Interior Ministry, gives Mousavi 57.2% of the vote, Ahmadinejad 28%, and the remaining two contestants together nearly 15%, versus the 3% accorded to them by the official count. At home, the silent marches of hundreds of thousands of supporters of Mousavi in Tehran and other cities on June 15 and 16 showed the widespread distrust of the poll results. Responding to the protest by all three opposition candidates, Khamanei instructed the Guardian Council on June 15 to consider precisely their complaints. Describing the announced result as provisional, the council's spokesman said that it would rule within the next 10 days. While conceding a possible change in the final tally after a recount, he ruled out a wholesale re-run of the election. Therefore the street protests are continuing with a plan to pray in mosques on Friday for those martyred in the official
[wanita-muslimah] Iranian opposition to rally despite ban, as world looks on
http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/english/world/11907628.asp?scr=1 Sunday, June 21, 2009 08:24 Iranian opposition to rally despite ban, as world looks on TEHRAN - Iran's opposition vowed to defy on Saturday an order by the supreme leader to halt street protests over last weeks election as US President Barack Obama said the world was watching. An aide to defeated presidential candidate Mehdi Karroubi told AFP the rally will be held in Tehran at 4:00 pm (1130 GMT). The rally comes as Karroubi and the two other defeated candidates, former premier Mir Hossein Mousavi and ex-Revolutionary Guards' chief Mohsen Rezai, meet officials to discuss alleged electoral violations. After supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Friday banned marches and warned that candidates would be held responsible for any violence, Tehran authorities denied permission for the march, organised by Karroubis campaign and a reformist group, Combattant Clerics Assembly. Late on Friday, witnesses reported that many members of the hardline Basij militia had deployed in Tehran streets, for the first time in full uniform and helmets, carrying clubs and some of them Kalashnikov rifles. However, they had withdrawn from their positions on Saturday morning. In demanding an end to protests, Khamenei warned that otherwise there could be further bloodshed beyond the seven deaths reported by state radio. Amnesty International said on Friday it had information of up to 10 deaths. Beyond Khamenei's general warning, Mousavi was singled out by the head of Iran's security council on Saturday for a specific one. Your national duty tells you to refrain from provoking illegal gatherings, Abbas Mohtaj, who is also deputy interior minister, said in a letter to him. Should you provoke and call for these illegal rallies you will be responsible for the consequences, he said. Iran's capital has been rocked by daily demonstrations since the disputed re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on June 12 drew claims from leading rival and former premier Mousavi of massive vote fraud. Siding with Ahmadinejad in his first public appearance since the vote, Khamenei ruled out major fraud in the poll. The people have chosen whom they wanted, Khamenei said in a prayer sermon on Friday, referring to Ahmadinejad. I see some people more suitable for serving the country than others but the people made their choice, he said to cheers from tens of thousands of faithful, who included Ahmadinejad. World is watching Afterwards, Obama warned Iran that the world is watching its actions. I'm very concerned based on some of the tenor and tone of the statements that have been made that the government of Iran recognise that the world is watching, Obama said on US television on Friday. And how they approach and deal with people who are, through peaceful means, trying to be heard will, I think, send a pretty clear signal to the international community about what Iran is and is not. Obama also attempted to debunk claims by some in the Iranian leadership that demonstrators were acting at the behest of the United States, which has had a history of antagonism with Iran since the 1979 Islamic revolution. Senior US officials earlier stressed that Washington was making strenuous efforts to avoid being drawn into the crisis in a way that could be used by the government against the demonstrators. The more the United States looks like they are going to interfere, the more it is going to be detrimental, said one official on condition of anonymity. This is not about us. Despite assurances by top officials that Washington would not inject itself into the crisis, both houses of the US Congress voted to condemn violence against demonstrators by the Iranian government. A House of Representatives resolution, adopted by a vote of 405-1, expressed its support for all Iranian citizens who embrace the values of freedom, human rights, civil liberties and rule of law. Mousavi, Karroubi and Rezai invited Karroubi has become the second losing candidate to demand a new election, in a letter to the electoral watchdog the Guardians' Council. Mousavi has repeatedly demanded a re-run of the poll, denouncing the election as a shameful fraud. But Khamenei said there could be no doubting Ahmadinejad's re-election to a second four-year term, despite the 646 alleged poll violations registered by the three defeated candidates with the Guardians' Council. The legal mechanisms in our country do not allow cheating. How can one cheat with a margin of 11 million votes? Mousavi, Karroubi and Rezai have been invited to set out their grievances before the Guardians' Council election watchdog on Saturday, with a response expected on Sunday. In addition to the United States, other world powers
[wanita-muslimah] Report: At least 19 killed in Iran protests
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1094502.html Last update - 08:20 21/06/2009 Report: At least 19 killed in Iran protests By Haaretz Service and News Agencies Tags: Israel News, Ahmadinejad At least 19 people were killed in Iran on Saturday, CNN quoted a Tehran hospital source as saying, as thousands of protesters marched on waiting security forces that fought back with baton charges, tear gas and water cannons. CNN also cited unconfirmed reports as putting the death toll as 150 on the seventh day of post-election protests, which took place in defiance of the Islamic Republic's highest authority. Witnesses said 2,000 to 3,000 were on the streets, fewer than the hundreds of thousands earlier in the week, but a clear challenge to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who used his sermon Friday to endorse disputed election results that gave hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a landslide victory. Many of the protesters, wearing black, chanted Death to the dictator! and Death to dictatorship! near Revolution Square in downtown Tehran, setting off fierce clashes with police. Iran's state television, meanwhile, reported Sunday that the Islamic Republic has arrested members of an exiled opposition group it accused of terrorist activities including setting buses on fire and destroying public property. The report, which did not directly mention the election or the unrest, said the arrested members of the Mujahideen Khalq Organisation had entered Iran after receiving training in neighbouring Iraq. It said they were guided by the group's operation room in Britain. Leaders of this group had encouraged members to carry out terrorist activities such as setting buses and gas stations on fire and attacking Basijis [Islamic militiamen] and destroying public property, state television said. It did not say how many people were arrested or when. Report: Suicide bomber attacks Khomeini shrine In a separate incident, a state-run television channel reported that a suicide bombing at the shrine of the Islamic Revolution leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini killed at least two people and wounded eight. The report could be not independently evaluated due to government restrictions on journalists. Also Saturday, Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi declared he is ready for martyrdom, according to aides, as he called on his supporters to continue protesting despite warnings by Khamenei that violations of the law will result in bloodshed. On his Web site, Mousavi also called for a national strike if he is arrested. In a letter to Iran's Guardian Council, which is investigating voting-fraud allegations in the June 12 presidential election, he said some ballot boxes had been sealed before voting began. He also said thousands of his representatives had been expelled from polling stations and some mobile polling stations had boxes filled with fake ballots. The council, Iran's highest legislative body, said Saturday it was ready to recount a random 10 percent of the votes cast in the June 12 poll to meet the complaints of Mousavi and two other candidates who lost to Ahmadinejad.
