Bioethics for Sectarian Conflict Resolution

BeritaWednesday Forum News Monday, 14 November 2016

wedforum-16-november-thumbnail
Abstract
Although secular bioethics avoids any entanglement with religious issues, bioethics has the goal of advancing the relationship between the physician, the patient and the patient’s family in medical practice and research, even in tense moments of disagreements in the clinical situation. My involvement in Islamic bioethics, which asserts principles like asserting that bio-ethical principles like “No harm, no harassment” and maslaha or public interest,  makes me confident in asserting that two universal principles, which are already operative in the healthcare institutions around the world, can establish peaceful coexistence between members of various communities.  These are the value that demands acknowledgment of human equality based in inherent human dignity and the value that teaches humans to relate to one another in sincerity, sensitivity, and a deep sense of sacrifice.  I argue they must be applied across all levels of interpersonal relations and interactions.

Speaker
Abdulaziz Sachedina, Ph.D., is Professor and IIIT Chair in Islamic Studies at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. Dr. Sachedina, who has studied in India, Iraq, Iran, and Canada, obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto.  He has been conducting research and writing in the field of Islamic Law, Ethics, and Theology (Sunni and Shiite) for more than two decades. In the last ten years he has concentrated on social and political ethics, including Interfaith and Intra-faith Relations, Islamic Biomedical Ethics and Islam and Human Rights.
 

A Dialogue Between North and South

ArticlesBeritaHeadlineNewsOpinionsWednesday Forum Report Friday, 11 November 2016

Meta Ose Ginting | CRCS | Wednesday Forum Report

img_4863_2Elizabeth Inandiak began her presentation in Wednesday Forum with the familiar fairy tale opening “once upon a time.”  A distinguished French writer who has lived in Yogyakarta since 1989, she herself is a story teller.   In her newest book Babad Ngalor Ngidul (Gramedia, 2016), she tells how she came to write her children’s book The White Banyan published in 1998, just at the end of the New Order.  She explained that the book grew out of the tale of the “elephant tree” tale that she created herself after she “bumped” into a banyan tree while she was wandering in her afternoon walk back in 1991. Her story became reality when shemet Mbah Maridjan, the Guardian of Mt. Merapi, and was shown a sacred site at Kaliadem on the slopes of Mt. Merapi, a white banyan tree.  Her new book about the conversation between the North and South areas of Yogyakarta takes its name from Babad (usually a royal chronicle, but here of two villages) and the phrase Ngalor-Ngidul, which in common Javanese means to speak nonsense but for her is about the lost primal conversation between Mount Merapi as the North and the sea as the South.
Quoting the great French novelist Victor Hugo’s remark that “Life is a compilation of stories written by God” Inandiak highlighted how meaning is found in stories which come before larger systems like religion.  In her book and her talk, she told stories from her experiences with the victims of natural disasters in two communities, one, Kinahrejo, in the North and one, Bebekan,in the South.  Inandiak explained that the process of recovery after a natural disaster is a process with and within the nature. It is about the reconciliation between human communities and nature. In natural disasters people mostly lose their belongings such houses, money, clothes and domesticated animals, but, she said, the most important thing is not to lose their identity. Houses can be rebuilt, but once people lose identity they don’t know how to rebuild anything else. Inandiak spoke about the disaster as a conversation between the North and the South. This is also a kind of stories that helps people deal with their situation, by accepting that disaster are part of natural cycles.
Inandiak also spoke about rituals.  First there were the rituals enacted by Mbah Maridjan and Ibu Pojo, the shamaness who was his unacknowledged partner, to connect human communities and nature. The offering ritual they made to Merapi included three important layers that describes their own identities: ancestors, Hinduism and Buddhism, and  Islam especially Sufism. Despite all the issues that Mbah Marijan and Ibu Pojo faced before they died in the 2010 eruption, they insisted what they were doing is an act of communicating with the nature that was their home.  Second, in order to overcome the difficulties after a disaster, stories and ritual mean a lot for reestablishing the victims’ identity. By doing rituals like dancing or singing, they connect to the wishes that become true. The wishes that they made bring such a different in their perspectives in continuing life. Through ritual people want to get connected with nature and Inandiak told how she helped these villages rebuild their identities.
In the question and answer session, we were moved by many fascinating question about the relation of nature and person. One of them is how the three layers in Javanese ritual—reverence for ancestors, Hinduism and Buddhism, and Islam, particularly Sufism—deal with the interference of world religion.  Inandiak responded that there must be many changes brings by the world religion, especially in Kinahrejo, where Mbah Maridjan faced pressure from fundamentalists. The way villagers perceive myth changes from time to time. Their Muslim-Javanese identity is something they need to maintain in negotiation. In answering the issues about participants in the rituals wearing hijab, Inandiak argued that these layers should be clearer. They are not rooted in one story. But to maintain the customs is also important.
Inandiak closed her presentation with a remarkable message that disasters come from the interaction of people and nature but no one should feel guilty or think that any disaster is the result of sin or human mistakes. The most important things are not to give up and to work to rebuild identity.

Hijab Cosplay, Why Not?: Remediation of Muslim Femininity on Islamic Otaku Community (IOC) Fansite

BeritaWednesday Forum News Friday, 4 November 2016

wed-forum-11-09-banner

Abstract
The Islamic Otaku Community (IOC) is an Islamic fan-based community, which encourages young Muslims—male and female—who are actively engaged in otaku fandom to stay committed to Islamic norms and values. Hijab Cosplay can be perceived as a unique site which brings together two worlds, the sacred/ascetic activities of being a Muslimah and the secular/hedonistic activities of the otaku, in which young Muslimah not only choose, appropriate and reproduce characters from Japanese anime, manga and games, but also (re)claim their femininity as Muslimah in relation to it. In this talk, I aim to discuss how Muslim femininity is remediated through the practice of hijab cosplay, which is posted and circulated on the IOC fansite, and how the female dressed body as a mediation of femininity is actively mediated in another medium. Since the goal of remediation is to refashion or reform the earlier version of the medium, I consider the ways in which young Muslimah attempt to refashion and reclaim Muslim femininity through fandom practices. Since cosplay is not confined to the act of costuming, but is also immersed in wider fan practices, I also look at the remediation of Muslim femininity in Islamic Mangaka (fan arts and fans writing produced and posted by IOC members).

Supremasi Hukum untuk “Penista Agama”?

HeadlineNewsOpinions Thursday, 3 November 2016

Tak sedikit tokoh, pejabat, politisi bahkan polisi yang memuji gelombang aksi protes terhadap ucapan Gubernur DKI Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) yang kontroversial itu. Pujian-pujian itu beralasan, karena meskipun kelompok yang memobilisasi atau mendukung demo tampaknya berasal dari spektrum yang amat luas, mulai dari yang sangat moderat hingga yang disebut garis keras, tuntutan akhir mereka sama, yaitu menuntut agar Ahok diproses di jalur hukum, secara adil dan berkeadilan.
Supremasi hukum demi tegaknya keadilan tentu adalah jalan beradab, demokratis dan moderat. Tapi benarkah demikian? Saya khawatir, imajinasi tentang keadaban dan sikap moderat seperti ini terlalu cetek. Tentu tidak keliru, tapi tidak cukup. Penyelesaian masalah melalui jalur hukum harus dipuji, jika alternatifnya adalah respon kekerasan. Namun, khususnya dalam kasus “penistaan agama”, ada banyak alasan untuk meragukan bahwa seruan itu adalah jalan terbaik untuk memecahkan masalah, dan mungkin justru tak menjanjikan keadilan.
Sebab utamanya adalah bahwa peristiwa ini (ucapan Ahok dan pembingkaian atas peristiwa itu sebagai “penistaan agama”), jika masuk pengadilan, kemungkinan besar merujuk merujuk pada Pasal 156A KUHP, yang tidak memiliki karir gemilang dalam sejarah Indonesia. Ini adalah bagian dari pasal-pasal karet “kejahatan terhadap ketertiban umum” dalam KUHP. Pasal yang ditambahkan pada tahun 1969 atas perintah UU 1/PNPS/1965 ini memiliki nilai politis yang amat kuat. Target awalnya adalah untuk membatasi aliran-aliran kebatinan/kepercayaan yang terutama bersaing dengan kekuatan politik Islam pada tahun 1950 dan 1960an.
Setelah tahun 1998, target itu bergeser. Target lama tetap ada, meskipun bukan mengenai aliran-aliran kebatinan lama, tapi gerakan-gerakan baru seperti Salamullah yang dipimpin Lia Eden, atau Millah Abraham. Tak ada isu politik penting dalam mengejar kelompok-kelompok itu, namun alasan utamanya adalah “pemurnian” Islam (dan mungkin alasan soisal-ekonomi-politik lain). Selain itu, tujuan baru penggunaan pasal ini adalah sebagai upaya peminggiran intraagama, yaitu kelompok-kelompok dalam komunitas Muslim sendiri, seperti Ahmadiyah dan Syiah, yang sebetulnya sudah eksis di Indonesia sejak jauh sebelumnya. Dalam Kristen, ada beberapa kasus serupa. Pasal penodaan agama jarang digunakan sebagai ekspresi perselisihan antaragama, kecuali dalam beberapa kasus.
Melihat rentang wilayah penggunaan pasal KUHP itu, kita bisa segera mencurigai efektifitasnya. Bagaimana mungkin keyakinan (misalnya bahwa Nabi Muhammad adalah Rasul terakhir dalam Islam) dijaga dengan pasal yang sama yang memenjarakan orang selama 5 bulan karena memprotes speaker masjid yang terlalu keras (seperti di Lombok pada 2010; seorang perempuan Kristen yang mengomentari sesajen Hindu (seperti di Bali pada 2013); atau seorang “Presiden” Negara Islam Indonesia yang mengubah arah kiblat dan syahadat Islam, namun kemudian pada 2012 hakim memberi hukuman setahun, untuk dirawat di Rumah Sakit Jiwa. Itu hanyalah beberapa contoh yang bisa diperbanyak dengan mudah.
Selain rentang implementasi yang demikian luas, persoalan lain adalah amat kaburnya standar pembuktian kasus-kasus semacam itu. Kasus-kasus yang diadili dengan Pasal 156A tersebut biasanya menggunakan cara pembuktian serampangan, dengan pemilihan saksi ahli yang tak jelas standarnya pula (dalam satu kasus pada tahun 2012, seorang yang diajukan sebagai saksi ahli agama bahkan tidak lulus sekolah). Penistaan atau penodaan bukan sekadar pernyataan yang berbeda, tapi—seperti dinyatakan Pasal 156A itu—mesti bersifat permusuhan, penyalahgunaan atau penodaan, bahkan mesti ada maksud supaya orang tidak menganut agama apapun. Apakah Ahok, yang membutuhkan suara mayoritas Muslim Jakarta, berpikir untuk memusuhi mereka?
Selain itu, apakah ia dianggap menghina Islam, atau ulama? Yang dikritiknya adalah Muslim yang disebutnya membohongi pemilih DKI dengan menggunakan ayat 51 surat Al-Maidah. Apakah muslim seperti itu identik dengan Islam, sementara banyak ulama dan terjemahan Al-Qur’an memberikan tafsir berbeda?
Dalam kenyataannya, jika kasus ini masuk ke pengadilan, seperti dapat dilihat dalam banyak kasus, pertanyaan-pertanyaan tentang standar pembuktian kerap diabaikan. Yang menjadi pertimbangan yang tak kalah penting adalah “ketertiban umum” (yang menjadi judul Bab KUHP yang mengandung pasal tersebut). Persoalannya, ancaman terhadap “ketidaktertiban umum” itu lebih sering dipicu oleh pemrotes yang merasa tersinggung, dan bukan pelaku itu sendiri. Karena itulah, demonstrasi besar jilid satu dan dua pada 4 November nanti—dan bukan ucapan Ahok itu sendiri—menjadi penting sebagai dasar untuk menggelar pengadilan atas Ahok.
Pemurnian sebagai politik
Penting dilihat bahwa dalam kenyataannya, Pasal 156A dipakai hanya selama sekitar 10 kali sejak tahun 1965 hingga 2000, dan tiba-tiba dalam 15 tahun terakhir demikian populer, telah digunakan sekitar 50 kali! Apakah setelah Reformasi ada makin banyak para penoda agama atau orang-orang yang sesat? Atau ada penjelasan lain dengan melihat transisi politik pada 1998?
Seperti halnya pasal-pasal kriminal serupa di banyak negara lain tentang “penodaan”, “penistaan”, atau “blasphemy”, upaya seperti ini biasanya memang menggabungkan dua tujuan sekaligus: tujuan penjagaan “kemurnian agama” (tentu dalam versi kelompok yang memiliki kuasa untuk mendiktekannya) dan tujuan politik. Pasal ini menjadi instrumen efektif untuk menjalankan politik “pemurnian” agama, yaitu penegasan kuasa politik suatu kelompok keagamaan.
Pada tahun 2010, UU ini dan Pasal 156A diajukan ke Mahkamah Konstitusi. Benar MK mempertahankan pasal ini, namun perlu dilihat juga catatan panjang yang diberikan para hakim MK tentang kelemahan-kelemahannya, dan saran agar pasal ini direvisi supaya tidak diskriminatif serta mendukung pluralisme Indonesia. Bahwa ada unsur politik, bukan semata-mata pidana, dalam pasal ini, tampak dalam pertimbangan MK yang panjang, hingga mengelaborasi persoalan filosofis mengenai hubungan agama dan negara, dan sejarah Indonesia sebagai negara berketuhanan.
Bagaimana mengatasi Ahok: Imajinasi yang lebih kaya
Maka kita bisa bertanya, apa sebetulnya tujuan dari keinginan besar untuk mengadili Ahok sebagai penista agama? Soalnya mungkin bukan tentang umat Islam yang sudah seharusnya tersinggung atas upaya penistaan agamanya. Pertama, ketersinggungan itu mungkin dirasakan setelah pernyataan Ahok itu dibingkai orang dan kelompok tertentu, yang lalu memobilisasi massa. (Sekali lagi, ini mirip dengan kasus “penodaan” lain, seperti kasus kartun Denmark.)
Selain itu, jika tak ada alasan politik praktis menjelang pilgub DKI atau yang lain, tapi ini soal menjaga kemurnian agama, benarkah kita mau menggantungkan kemuliaan agama pada satu pasal karet yang sama yang telah digunakan untuk mengadili orang dengan gangguan kejiwaan, pencabut speaker masjid, seorang ibu rumah tangga yang mengomentari sesajen Hindu, atau banyak kasus-kasus lainnya?

Since the end of 19th century, the Catholic Church Since the end of 19th century, the Catholic Church has conducted missionary activities among the Javanese in Muntilan, Indonesia, establishing it as the first Catholic mission site in Java. The missionary work not only impacted the Javanese but also the Chinese descendants in Muntilan. The conversion of the Chinese to Catholicism in sparked debates among the Chinese community, who perceived it as a contributing factor to the abandonment of Chinese characteristics. This contest leads to the dynamic and diverse identities of Chinese Catholics within the community, as Chinese characteristics and Catholic faith mutually influence each other.
