The Congress Of The Homosexuals And The Sensitivity Of The Authority

.
Once again Indonesia is presented with a drama called the 'ILGA (International Lesbian, Gay Association ) Congress' which, Alhamdulillah, failed to be carried out in Surabaya. The congress that takes on the agenda of “equal rights for the marginalized people” which in essence is a request for acknowledgment from the society to give space to the lesbian, bisexual and gay people.

The choice of Indonesia for the celebration of these amoral people is not without a purpose or unintentional, Indonesia was chosen as a venue by them because, besides being a nation with the biggest number of Muslims it is also due to the fact that for the people of Indonesia, the lesbian, gay and the likes of them are still considered as contemptible and accursed.

This is not free from the scenario of the global secular people who want to make Indonesia detached from the religious values and the eastern traditions, they want Indonesia to become a free country without the moral rules and the most important, further from the values of religion.

This could be proven by the silent attitude of the government with regards to the program of the congress that was going to be carried out by these deviant people. Perhaps, if the Islamic ummah was silent without any reaction and rejection, the event of this congress would have run smoothly without any obstacle from the government.

This shows that the government has lost the feeling of sensitivity when dealing with the moral depravity that is happening in the society, but they are very reactive and emotional when dealing with the demands of the Muslims. It is very dangerous if this situation persists, the government on one side legalizes immorality and on the other side very repressive on things that reek of Islam.

If only because of Human Rights reasons, the doers of the deviated morals can roam freely in the society and spread their diseases, then why do the authorities arrest and kill the innocent people who are only accused as terrorists, an accusation which still could not be proven? Isn't this more in violation of the Human Rights which they themselves hum?

But the essence from all these problems is the weakness of the laws applied in Indonesia, the laws that could be toyed with anytime, depending on the authority or those who have the wealth to buy those laws. It is only the law of Islam that can solve all these chaos and the uncertainty in the future fate of Indonesia, because the law of Islam is not made to order for certain people and groups, but the rules that know the answers to all the problems that befall mankind.

Because, all these while we could see with our own eyes that the laws which are being applied in Indonesia had never fulfilled the taste of justice, especially for the weak, because besides being difficult to feed oneself, it is also difficult to find justice in Indonesia.

We should take heed before this country becomes only a memory that used to be in the world map, a country called Indonesia, a prosperous country but was destroyed and blotted out due to abandoning the religion followed by a majority of its populations.

May the above incident become a lesson for us, that all these while there had always been something wrong with the officials in this country in their policy towards the citizens. They, who are also insensitive and inclined to shut their eyes on falsehood. They, who like it better when moral depravity strikes upon the society rather than bringing their citizens towards a better life.

All in all, do we still put our hope and sell our aqeedah to these people, who had clearly and repeatedly despised our beliefs as Muslims? We should be freeing ourselves from them and conduct da'wah until they repent from their errors in administering this country.

“For We assuredly sent amongst every People an apostle, (with the Command), 'Serve Allah, and eschew Evil (Thaghut)'”. (An Nahl : 36)
