On Islamo-Christian civilization<\/p>\n
The article Islamo-Christian civilization in The Jakarta Post,
\nMarch 2, was very interesting because in this globalization era
\nwe need such ideas to bring peace in our world. This carries the
\nsame goal as the Madinah Charter (Piagam Madinah) which our
\nprophet Muhammad found.<\/p>\n
The two religions will always quarrel and cannot reconcile
\nbecause their point of direction is placed on opposite sides,
\nthat is, the Masjidil Haram versus the Masjidil Aqsa.<\/p>\n
With the Madinah Charter the two religions can be united as
\none, and they promise to live together and not interfere with
\neach other. Is the unity of religion opposed to the aqidah? Of
\ncourse not; because it has been described in the Koran surat Al
\nMaida (5): 48 and Al Baqarah (2): 148.<\/p>\n
Further study reveals that Hajar Aswad a relief of a woman's
\ngenitalia (vulva) is the only weapon used by our Prophet to unite
\nthe religions. Religious teaching should take the form of a
\nsimple and applicable language. To explain this matter is time
\nconsuming and needs long discussion.<\/p>\n
The old Indonesian culture also worshiped genitalia symbols
\ntoo, such as what we find it in the old temple Candi Sukuh, Yoni
\nas the female genitalia.<\/p>\n
Let us review the Christian prayer: \"Our Father in heaven
\nabove, take us to your kingdom\", and if we look at the Koran
\n(surat Al Mulk(67): 1, it also describes a heavenly kingdom. For
\nthe Muslims that kingdom of heaven is a reward for those who are
\ndevoted to God.<\/p>\n
It is written in surat Ar Rahman (55):49 and so on. So the
\ngoal of the two religions is the same, so why don't these two
\nreligions merge or unite as one?<\/p>\n
Islamic and Christian followers are like two blind men who
\ntouch an elephant on opposite sites, one in the front and the
\nother at the rear. One finds the head and the trunk, the other
\nfinds the tail and the legs, even though they are actually
\ntouching the same thing; that is the Kingdom of Heaven.<\/p>\n
All religions and their adherents should wake up from their
\nlong sleep and translate their teachings into applicable
\ndirections. Religions should no longer deal with rituals and
\ndoctrines, but should take an active role to bring changes, so
\nthat the world becomes safer and more peaceful.<\/p>\n
The society in the Islamo Christian civilization has been
\ncalled Masyarakat Madani (Civil Society), because this idea comes
\nfrom the Madinah Charter.<\/p>\n
Please try to contemplate on this, because religion is for
\npeople who want to think.<\/p>\n
