Kita Tidak Akan Sujud Mencium Kaki Anjing Imperial Jahiliyah

By

Kita berasa amat pelik apabila mufti menjadi propagandis untuk memberi legitimasi kepada jemputan kepada Donald Trump, seorang penjenayah yang membekalkan bom kepada zionis yang telah membunuh 66,000 rakyat Gaza termasuk anak-anak kecil. Amat pelik apabila maqasid syariah digunakan untuk membela bapak genosida yang membunuh orang Islam. Adakah itu tujuan agama?


Sepatutnya maqasid syariah itu digunakan untuk berjihad memelihara nyawa umat Islam di Gaza! Sebab itu kita melihat sistem yang ada ini adalah sistem jahiliyah. Letaklah nama jawatan dan gelaran itu apa pun, mufti agung, mufti langit dan bumi, hatta mufti sekalian alam sekali pun, sepatutnya tidak menyilaukan kita. Mulut dan fatwa mereka digunakan untuk melindungi sistem imperial jahiliyah yang membunuh umat Islam. Fatwa mereka bukan untuk jihad mempertahankan nyawa umat, sebaliknya untuk memberi legitimasi kepada anjing imperialis yang membunuh ribuan nyawa umat. Anjing-anjing imperialis yang membakar dan menghancurkan negara-negara umat Islam.

Golongan orientalis lama sudah boleh berpencen dengan tenang, kerana mereka sudah berjaya menanam neo-orientalis dalam kalangan umat Islam, yang memakai fez merah dan berjubah. Bahasa mereka hanya mengguna ulang bahasa Orientalis lama, tiada idea baru. Imperialis yang membunuh 66,000 nyawa umat itu tidak ekstrem, tetapi yang menentang penjajahan dan pembunuhan itulah yang dituduh radikal, ekstrem, takfiri. Kita kenal benar dengan idea orientalis yang mahu kita menjadi hamba yang taat kepada anjing imperialis, tidak kira jubah apa yang mereka pakai. Kita melihat anak seperti Greta Thunberg itu lebih berfungsi dari mufti yang memakai fez merah yang menjadi propagandis untuk memberi legitimasi pada bapak pengganas pembunuh anak-anak Gaza. Kemudian ada yang menyuruh kita menghormati mufti seperti ini. Yang ingin menjemput pembunuh umat Islam menggunakan dalil-dalil maqasid syariah? Kita katakan maaf. Kita tidak akan sujud di kaki manusia, biar pun mereka berjubah dan memakai fez merah.


Kita tidak perlu takut berkata benar dalam hal ini, kerana Menteri Dalam Negeri, Saifuddin Nasution telah memberi kebenaran berjihad bercakap benar. Maka, ayuh kita berjihad berkata benar, ulil amri sudah mengeluarkan kebenaran untuk kita berjihad berkata benar. Kita katakan kita tidak bersetuju dengan jemputan kepada Donald Trump, bapak pengganas yang membunuh umat Islam. Jika tidak dibatalkan jemputan kepada bapak pengganas ini, kita perlu berhimpun menjadi lautan, menolak Donald Trump.


Mungkin ada yang mengatakan tindakan kita menolak kehadiran pengganas seperti Trump satu tindakan radikal. Kita katakan pada mereka, jika pembunuhan 66,000 manusia tidak menjadikan kalian radikal, mungkin kalianlah puncanya genosida ini berterusan. Kerana kalian membiarkan ia berlalu tanpa tentangan.


Kita bukan sahaja menolak kedatangan Trump, kita juga menolak pelan penjajahan Trump yang beliau gelar sebagai “20 Points Peace Plan”. Dua tahun sistem jahiliyah imperial tidak dapat menewaskan para pejuang, senjata mereka tidak berjaya dipadamkan. Maka musuh membuat rancangan baru, memaksa melalui perjanjian apa yang tidak berjaya dicapai melalui peperangan senjata. Thoghut yang membunuh anak-anak umat ini kemudian hendak dijemput dengan penuh kehormatan oleh para penjilat imperialis. Jika pun maruah itu satu yang asing bagi mereka, tidakkah mereka ada perasaan malu? Tidak malukah mereka dengan negara Colombia yang mengusir diplomat Israel dari negara mereka? Pemimpin-pemimpin Islam dan Arab itu pun tidak halau diplomat Israel, sebab itu kita katakan mereka ini mengamalkan amalan jahiliyah.


Kita perlu menentang penjajahan dan imperialisme dengan apa cara pun. Bak kata Yasser Arafat: “The revolution is not merely the rifle of a fighter; it is also the farmer’s hoe, the doctor’s scalpel, the writer’s pen, and the artist’s brush.”

Trump’s Assassination Attempt, His Win, and Political Fanaticism: The Loss of Rationality over Blind Feelings

Fanaticism in political contestation often triggers irrational actions that are detrimental, not only to oneself but also to those around them. When people are caught up in political fanaticism, they tend to put personal interests and loyalty to candidates or political parties above human values and logic. This fanaticism creates a situation where dissent is no longer considered a natural and healthy thing in a democracy, but rather a threat that must be reduced. At least, supposed to be decreased or eliminated.


Cases of violence due to political fanaticism are still common in Indonesia. Some time ago, during the 2024 Presidential Election, we witnessed how differences in political choices caused various adverse incidents. In Madura, there were physical clashes between supporters that led to violence. In Batam, household and family violence (KDRT) is reported to occur due to disputes related to political support, not to mention all cases that have been happening about blind fanatism. There is also a more shocking case, where a child abuses his parents simply because of a difference in the choice of Indonesian presidential candidates. Then, the Mayor of Chilpancingo, Mexico was beheaded and killed after only 6 days in office. Not only that but the country that become the center of the country’s democracy, America. Even one of his presidential candidates, Donald Trump, who has now been elected president of the United States, was shot while giving a campaign speech in one of the states; Pennsylvania. This phenomenon shows how dangerous political fanaticism can be, which can trigger conflicts even within the family.

Currently, Indonesia is preparing for the simultaneous regional elections that will be held in various regions. The bad experience during the 2024 presidential election should be a lesson for all of us not to repeat the same mistakes. We must realize that political fanaticism will only exacerbate divisions in society. A fanatical attitude that considers its choice to be the most correct and rejects other views vehemently is a real threat to the unity and harmony of the nation.


In ideal politics, differences of opinion are natural and even necessary to form comprehensive and inclusive policies. Democracy should be a space to discuss, exchange ideas, and find the best solutions to benefit society as a whole. Without different views, there will never be innovations or new solutions. Therefore, openness and tolerance towards different views are important foundations for a healthy political life.

However, political fanaticism erodes that foundation. Fanatical supporters tend to refuse to listen to dissenting views and only believe information that supports their beliefs. They are trapped in an echo chamber, where they only hear opinions that align with their own beliefs. As a result, they can no longer think critically or objectively and are more easily manipulated by fake news or propaganda spread by parties who want to divide society.


In the upcoming simultaneous regional elections, we must be wiser in responding to political dynamics. Political fanaticism not only damages social and family relationships but also creates sharp polarization in society. Irresponsible political elites often exploit this situation to ignite the masses’ emotions for their political gain. They use the fanaticism of their supporters to mobilize public opinion, without thinking about the long-term impact on national unity.


The solution to overcoming bigotry in politics is to educate people about the importance of respecting different opinions and the ability to think critically. Good political education will help people understand that politics is not about winning or losing but about achieving a common good. It should also emphasize the importance of verifying information before accepting or disseminating it, to minimize the spread of hoaxes and damaging provocations.


Mass media and digital platforms also have a big role in promoting healthy political narrations. The media should be a source of balanced information, provide space for various points of view, and educate the public not to be easily provoked by sensationalist news that can be divisive. Political leaders are also expected to be role models in dealing with differences, promoting healthy dialogue, and reducing conflict rather than provoking it.


The 2024 presidential election should be an important lesson for all of us. Let us make the upcoming simultaneous regional elections a momentum to improve ourselves and prove that democracy in Indonesia is still strong and mature. We can make this political event a means to strengthen national unity, not the other way around. Instead of getting caught up in blind fanaticism, let’s use this opportunity to elect leaders who truly have integrity, a clear vision, and a commitment to bring positive change for all Indonesians.


Fanaticism in political contestation is foolish, driven by emotion because it puts blind loyalty above the greater interests of the nation. True democracy can only grow in a soil fertile with dissent, healthy dialogue, and an awareness that the strength of a nation lies in its ability to value diversity. We all have a responsibility to make politics a tool to advance civilization, not a source of division and hostility.
