Taliban Revenge

Jan Pepijn Servaas: In Japan, there is Aum sect which also conducts terror with mass murder in the subway. Meanwhile, in the U.S. there is a Branch Davidian. This group was also often doing extreme action with the dead along with drinking poison together, but they were not accused of being a terrorist as Islamic. Why?

Cisca Zarmansyah: There is a politicization of religion and events, Jan. And they do so with interpret the holy book in a shallow, off the mark. Jihad is not to scare other people, especially children and women. Bomb attack is not a jihad. I also have learned about Islam, even in its teaching, those who take refuge in any house of worship is unlawful for harassed, let alone to be killed. How could the bias thing is called jihad?

Adriaan Zef: To complete the answers you need, Jan, I think to deal with allegations and the negative view is necessary for religion to show good face for a good image. Religion must be returned to its position as the spirit and morality that will always carry the banner of humanity, civilization, welfare equality, and justice. It is important for us to build the human religious attitudes.

Jan Pepijn Servaas: It seems you are referring to the humanism paradigm.

Adriaan Zef : Yes, I am. I laud the values, attitudes, norms, and religious practice (religiosity) that supports non-violent and peaceful life, always improving the justice community, upholding the human rights, promote the harmony between cultures, and ecological sustainability. My main attitude is moderation. Moderate in running religious and social interaction. I keep a balance in material and spiritual needs, individual and social, in relation to God, man, and natural environment. I will continue to uphold the justice and wisdom in act, not easily incited, angry, accusing, or force (coercive).

Honey, ... help me to realize all my idealized concept.

Jan Pepijn Servaas: This strengthens the general view that killing Bin Ladin would not reduce violence, because al Qaeda itself is not centralized and will continue to inspire many, like the Taliban of Pakistan that spread globally and loose and only bound by ideology.


Cisca Zarmansyah: Ehsanullah Eksan said there would be more attacks of revenge for his death, Jon. And it seems we should not ignore the threat, because --- forever --- it is not a game. Revenge is more like the heart disease of gnawing sense. I'm concerned, they turn a blind eye in their heads for so many human victims. The revenge blinds all the human eye, the eye of head and heart.


Pranay Suresh: Poor Pakistan. A trivialized feeling can make anything looks fierce. After being slapped by the U.S.. it was also slapped by the Taliban. :=)

Cisca Zarmansyah: Jan argued that it has two faces in terms of terrorism. Dunno what happens it does not have a face at all, or even it has a thousand faces. Eeeh...heehe are you teasing me, Kashmir?

Almira Izzati: so bump!
