Tetapi..juga sangat tidak setuju dgn komentar yang provokatif. Konon prakatanya bukan membicarakan agama, tapi mengulas ritualnya.. (bingung..apa bedanya..)
Kenapa juga harus shalat jumatnya yang diributkan, karena itu cuma shalat 2 rakaat yang mungkin cuma perlu waktu 5 menit. Silahkan meributkan/menyalahkan birokrasi, protokoler kepresidenan, prosedur keselamatan kepresidenan, laporan inteligen, itikad, andi malarangeng, atau SBY sekalian. Kenapa shalat jumat disalahkan, karena itu kewajiban yg sama sekali tidak memberatkan. Kalau belum paham, lebih baik cari info dulu sebelum mempost di media besar. Sangat disayangkan komentar tersebut dari orang sebesar Anand Krisna, tokoh spiritual yang seharusnya bisa menjembatani komunikasi antar umat beragama.
Kalau kecewa sama sby silahkan, karena kemarin gak pilih beliau, ya ga begitu kecewa2 amat sama tingkah beliau. Belum lagi pidatonya yang mbocahi. Alih2 menenangkan rakyat, bapak presiden/capres terpilih ini malah membuatkan alibi untuk para teroris dgn menuduhkan kepada capres kompetitor.
Dan sebagai ungkapan terima kasih dari para teroris, mungkin mereka akan senada dgn motto SBY : LANJUTKAN !

Andaikan ada presiden seperti sukarno yang berani lantang meneriakkan ganyang malaysia, bukan presiden yang taunya sendhiko dhawuh..

Beyond the bombing: An introspection

Some time after the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels were bombed last Friday, presidential spokesman Andi Malarangeng conveyed President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's concerns on television, and said the President intended to visit the site immediately, but since it was "Friday, and almost prayer time", the visit would be postponed until after the prayers.
The visit was eventually postponed to the next day, due to "security considerations", as stated by President Yudhoyono himself in his televised press conference.
I am not talking religion here, I am just doing a little introspection: what would I do in a similar situation? What if someone I loved was staying in one of the hotels?
All considerations aside, I would have rushed to the site. I would not need any scriptural sanction to prompt me to leave my prayers and do so. My answer is not hypothetical, but based on a personal experience in a not too distant past.
We have made a serious blunder by defining ritual as religion, and prioritizing it over the performance of our duties.
Rituals are means of awakening the spirit of religiosity within us, not the end of religion. By becoming ritualistic, I do not necessarily become religious. Hands that help are better than lips that pray.
I can worship while working, and pray while performing my duties not only toward my immediate family, but also toward my country, my nation and the world family.
Indeed, I can perform my duties in the spirit of devotion and prayerfulness. Duty and devotion, worship and the world, prayer and performance of duties - all these can go together. Religion must be freed from its long confinement to manmade closets, and brought to the marketplace.
Still on the same Friday evening, a young newsreader on television kept mispronouncing "Syailendra", the name of a restaurant at the Marriott. "Syailendra" is not French. Mispronouncing "Syailendra", one of the great dynasties of the archipelago, proves how little respect and regard we have for our history and culture.
For the young newsreader, perhaps the mandala of Borobudur means nothing. Perhaps he is one of those who still mistakenly refers to Borobudur as a temple or candi, and does not understand the meaning of mandala.
One may brush this off as something of very little significance. It is not. A nation that has a little regard for its cultural values, heritage and past history is a nation without roots. Such a nation has no self-identity. And this is the case with us today. We are happier and more comfortable with an imported identity, be it Arab, Indian, Western or Chinese, than with our own identity.
