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!
