ISIS: Building Terroristic Civilization

The recent explosion of bombs in Kampung Melayu targeting public places and Police posts as a form of campaign for ISIS followers in Indonesia demonstrates its identity for political resistance by means of spreading terror and showing self-bombers performing jihad acts as the ultimate realiation of achieving doctrine Radical ideology. Meanwhile, Islam strongly explicitly prohibits the ways of jihad and killing others committed by ISIS followers.

For them simply take the label of religion and actions that are very far from the human mind in finding and building the civilization that aspired it. The question of what civilization model is the goal of ISIS in Indonesia which, when looking at the various dimensions of the development of any civilization in the world, has not adopted a model of violence by justifying the killing of humans to achieve the construction of a country?.

Furthermore, the question why some Indonesian people are very vulnerable to accept the ideology of civilization is very contrary to the spirit of any religious teachings?.

Jihad, Infiltration, Civilization

The phenomenon of the emergence of the ISIS military movement in the Middle East precisely when the political turmoil and security that colored the civil war in Iraq (2003-2011) and Syria that puts the ISIS group as an alternative to the armed resistance movement against the military forces of the President of Syria and groups of military in both Iraq and Syria.

On June 29, 2014, the group declared itself an Islamic state as well as the world caliphate led by the caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and renamed ad-Dawlah al-Islāmiyah or the Islamic State (NI).
ISIS's understandings and movements have long been deeply rooted in the Middle East, but apparitions exist with civil war conflicts in Iraq and Syria. As the Caliphate, ISIS seeks to exercise religious, political and military control over all Muslims throughout the world including the validity of all the emirates, groups, states and organizations no longer recognized after the establishment of khilāfah.

The model of civilization that it offered was quick to get sympathetic, in March 2015, ISIS controlled a population of 10 million people in Iraq and Syria. Through its local group, ISIS also controls small areas in Libya, Nigeria and Afghanistan. The group also operates or has affiliations in different regions of the world that share the same stereotypes as Wahabi groups that are also widely available in Indonesia.

The product they sell to the market is to build the spirit of jihad according to its definition. Whereas in the Islamic jihad with the ways of killing and spreading terror like the ISIS is very forbidden religion according to the sound of Surat Annisa: 93, "And whoever kills a believer intentionally, then the reward is hell hell, he is eternal in it. God is angry with him, and curses him and provides a great punishment for him ". It seems that the ISIS group is no longer familiar with the holy verses of the Qur'an, which in its rational mind how to spread fear among the people, especially in Muslim areas, to follow the steps that have been done and how to kill as much as possible.

Many people by not looking at the background and religion of the important explosion of bombs that are mounted on his body to die in jihad. The issue of being cursed and vilified by other human beings for him is only a test in the world in order to attain the level to the full faith in order to be a crystallization of the attitude of persevering to continue to carry out its various acts.

There is no question of human rights abuses that they perceive as Western products and there is no question of sin in the religion it embraces because people today see it as doing and following leaders who are considered incompatible with their political lines. Herein lies the selfishness of the civilization development, that they are the most true and surely in heaven than the other people.

The internalization of his understanding is seen from the duration of the phenomenon of the emergence and spread of the jihad virus by the act of killing humanity, quickly adopted by some communities in Indonesia. Releasing BNPT data in 2016, total arrests of terrorism cases in Indonesia amounted to 1,025 people.

The number indicates that the internalization of the jihad virus has been highly developed in Indonesia. The cells and followers of terrorism certainly do not stop at the number of successfully revealed by BPNT but they will continue to search for space and time to continue spreading the virus to the public.

Releasing research results published by Kompas (19/2/2016) mentions 52.3 percent of students support violence for religious solidarity and 14 percent of students justify the bombing action perpetrated by terrorists. The study was conducted on 500 students.

This indicates the internalization of understanding by building civilization by killing has been tolerated by the level of students in Indonesia. The ability of ISIS to build sprit by means of killing, which is beyond human reason and/or understand it is the same way animals have no reason in thinking. How a new world order of civilization to be built will justify murder among human beings.

The acts of terrorism perpetrated by ISIS since the discovery of Bali Bomb I and II in 2002 until the latest in Kampung Melayu symbolizes that radicalism will not die with regulators made by the government through the Terrorism Act and the actions of the security apparatus.

ISIS continues to nurture practices reversing all the facts and opinions that flourish in society as if efforts to eradicate terrorism are intensified by the government as a form of refresive action against Muslims. His deceptions always shelter over Muslims when his cruel and barbaric acts are often packed with his neighbors in order not to get the attention of the community that is killing with violation of the sacred nature of religion or having reason like an animal. Do they deserve to be called mujahid by some people who still idolize ISIS as an agent of world change to shape civilization.

The civilization of terrorism and the cruel ways to build a country that ISIS is arguing as if trying to resist the rational minds of people who still have a religion and the belief that acts of terrorism are as rational as the conviction and understanding to both do good in building a new world order.

The perception of perception and distortion of misleading facts and opinions will continue to be built by ISIS to unite its views with a rational view. Misguidance of that view should we fight to the finish.

Bomb in Kampung Melayu can be a turning point for society to fight the new concept of civilization which is increasingly incessant offered by ISIS sympathizers in Indonesia, that the foundation that they will try to build terrorism act and kill human being.

It is an action that is very contrary to all religious teachings and there is no history in the world to build civilization by means of violence and killing even in the state of Indonesia that already has the ideology of Pancasila, has been tried against the ideology of terrorism that shows an offer of ideas and ideas Which has no religious, intellectual, moral and cultural nuances.
