Tiba-tiba jalur komunikasi putus antara dua instansi militer penting.
Kemungkinannya cuman dua. Satu, semua jalur komunikasi alternatif terputus, dan kedua, ini yang mengerikan, serangan telah dilancarkan lawan yang menghancurkan dua instansi penting itu.
Jalur komunikasi itu punya banyak sekali rute alternatif, termasuk diantaranya melalui jalur telekomunikasi komersial. Jadi kemungkinan nomer satu ini sangat kecil.
Tanda bahaya dibunyikan, pesawat-pesawat B52 pun disiagakan, mereka diinstruksikan untuk menyalakan mesin dan bersiap-siap, namun juga untuk tidak lepas landas sampai ada pemberitahuan lebih lanjut.
Melalui komunikasi radio akhirnya didapatkan fakta bahwa tidak ada penyerangan apapun terhadap instansi-2 tersebut. Dan ternyata semua rute alternatif jalur komunikasi tersebut mempunyai satu titik simpul di sebuah stasiun relay yang saat itu punya masalah mekanik (motor kepanasan) dan mengakibatkan putusnya semua jalur komunikasi.

Peristiwa diatas dan banyak peristiwa-peristiwa "nyaris" lainnya yang hampir membawa dunia ke kehancuran akibat perang nuklir bisa dibaca disini.
Ini satu hal yang, menurutku, susah untuk dilihat secara optimis.

Bulan Penuh Berkah
Ramadhan itu bulan penuh berkah, kata seorang Akhmad Syakhlani.
Dan dia lebih lanjut mengatakan kalau kita seharusnya memandang Ramadhan dari sisi itu.
Hmm...
Aku berdoa semoga memang demikian adanya Ramadhan 1427 kali ini, penuh berkah, bagi semua. Bagi mereka yang melaksanakan kewajibannya, dan bagi yang lain, yang merasakan berkahnya melalui mereka yang melaksanakannya.
Dan semoga ridha Allah jadi milik kita.
Amin.

Ways on seeing religion differences
- To treat religion as the prime factor that defines a person and use this view to guide how we interact with other people. We might dislike them just by that, or on the contrary, loving them by that.
- To treat religion just like we treat skin colors, sure it make different people different, but when we interact with people as an educated person, we'll (usually) disregards skin colors. So we realizes the differences, might also grows some prejudice upon them, but we won't act by it.
- To treat religion as an insensitive issues, that really don't matter in everyday life.
My own view right now might be a join of the views above.
I choose to respect the religion of others, may considered religion is irrelevant in many things on interactions with others in everyday life, and I also tend to care more for my own religion.
Errr... it sounds unclear.
Ok, let me rephrase, basically, my view is this:
(taken from Al-Quran, Surah Al-Kafirun, last verse)
"Lakum dinukum waliyadin"
It translates (my own words, please CMIIW):
"For you your religion, for me my religion".
No Judgement != No Opinion
Beberapa minggu lalu berlangsung diskusi kecil-kecilan di Isnet. Ngomongin perbedaan, dan bagaimana mengatasinya on conceptual, individual level. Menariknya buatku, diskusi ini mendalami pemikiranku yang lama tentang masalah ini.
Ibu Dr. Darfiana Nur yang hebat itu, menyebutkan sesuatu yang mirip dengan pandanganku tentang ini.
Basically its goes like this:
No judgement to the belief of others. But not opinionless.
Below is my personal stressing on the point (not hers).
I really, really, think that enforced personal judgements to others is bad.
And I really like to bring a point I've mentioned in the discussion here,
this point I raised when the discussion went on to mention that Muhammad SAW/PBUH had in several times enforced judgement to others when they disregards or insults Allah.
My point were:
" ... we are not Muhammad, may never will be. We don't have his wisdom, we don't have Allah direct guidance and we don't have his qadha and qadar ... "
When we judge people and enforce our judgements as if they were the only right possible judgements or interpretation on a matter, we have more or less acting as God.
And that is an unforgivable sin.
