Islam, Freedom, and War
Monkey D. Luffy was teaching to all of you that friendship is
very important than material. Generally, One Piece is our philosophy to
understand most important thing in this life: freedom!
Many people against to other people just wanna freedom.
Julius Cesar said, if your desire are freedom, have ready to war! In this
article I wanna share to all of you regarding freedom and war, and exposing
entire ideas of Islam pertaining to Rahmatan Lil’alamin.
There is no freedom without war. War is the one and only way
for freedom. Islam has motto Rahmatan Lil’alamin. Peaceful for all. To realize
his motto, Islam has to against with other religions or communities. Because if
it doesn’t, rahmatan lil’alamin or freedom for all in the Islamic verse could’t
be realized.
Many years ago Islam has been “destroying” Kafeer Quraisy in
Arab. From my perspective, the polemic that occurred between Islam and Kafeer Quraisy
to proof something that war is very important aspect for freedom. In fact, after
fought Kafeer Quraiys, Islam built a system of law in Madina with Judaism
community—We called Piagam Madinah. Islam has been changing tradition of Arab
on rules of wedding, constitution, state, etc. Consequently, Arab is not Islam,
and Islam is not Arab.
Tariq Ramadan, a prominent
contemporary Muslim philosopher and thinker from London, ever said in his book,
“Faith (iman) is a pledge (amaana).”
This sentence from Tariq Ramadan was giving a justifying that war in Islam is amaana
because coming from iman.
From war to other war, in the name of iman, in 8th
century, Islam has been “demobilizing” two big civilizations in the world:
Persia and Romawi. After these, Islam become the greatest civilization ever,
and for the first time in history Western falls in the dark age cause
Christianity can not made good relation with knowledge. Sir Richard Dawkins
babbled in his twitter account, he said “Islam developed by sword…”
Maybe Dawkins’ quote is something right but feels wrong in our
perspektive. Of course we can’t accepted Dawkins’ quote because describing
Islam as kind of barbaric community than religion of peaceful. But if you read or
look for some of books of History of Islam you will find a fact that Islamic
Civilization has been growing based on destroying other religions or kingdoms.
Salahuddin al Ayubi and his warriors has been destroying
Christian religion who were leaded by Richard ‘Lion Heart’ in Jerussalem. In
the other side, Ferdinand who were directed Christian community also ever genocided
Muslim community in Spain after seven centuries having power in Andalusia. So,
Islam and Christian are two big religions who ever trying to chases each other.
