traditional paradigm of post-reform Islamic thought

Reform is a big agenda in making a change in the life of the nation. Even the reforms made in a form of liberation from the shackles of building a dictatorship of the regime leadership. Because the reform is a process of building a civilization openly and courageously in taking a stance, for the undertaking and the sacred responsibility in realizing a change.

Reform journey that became a dream of the pioneers in the movement to overthrow the regime of dictator, has changed the paradigm of a closed nation to an open system. Thus resulting in an open system into the new ideology of nationalism. Departing from this system of openness with the proposition put forward has made diversity a freedom of thought patterns evolve rapidly in the life of the nation.

Furthermore, the post-reform system of openness has been included in the territory of religion, the religion of Islam as the granary of new ideas emerging in the reform era with a different face in the current manifest themselves initiated into the world of Islamization. So that there was a very intense battle in the understanding of the Islamization in post-reform era.

Post-reform upheaval in the Muslim world grown so rapidly in the study of economic, social, political, cultural. Starting from the simplest to the most controversial. Even an idea that tends to lead out a community-wide customs are also growing rapidly. That sometimes led to a paradigm across from each other.

Reform is one of the gates of openness in understanding and translating a variety of problems that occur in people's lives. Even the ideology of reform becomes a way of growing so rapidly go outside Indonesia, both economic, social, cultural, political, educational as well as in other fields..

The existence of the reform has been used as a tool by some groups to spread an idea that became an ideology. So that the post-reform thought patterns that deviate from the familiar and understand the religion of Islam appear to align with a variety of different faces.

Most striking in the post-reform Islamic paradigm is a battle between liberal face to face caliphate. So that both faces are often at odds ranging from argument to battle the more phenomenal again. Given the struggle between the liberal against the caliphate is a battle of ideas and culture from an outer archipelago.

Liberal is an idea that came from the west. So the paradigm of liberal groups tend to lead to problems in interpreting a sense of life. Because liberals emphasize the aspect of freedom of individual rights, but the biggest weakness lies in its emphasis on liberal issues that tend to negate the idea of ​​social rights issues.

Though the results of liberal thought often adopt western ideas of the translation of a religious life. Departs from repetition is where liberals are stuck with the idea of ​​freedom leads to false in building paradigms. Because liberals tend to be on if the context in providing a commentary on religious, but in the religious interpretation is not limited to merely rely on the context. However, between text and context must be able to synergize with the right.

While the empire led to a textual perspective in providing a commentary on the Islamization. So stuck in the paradigm of empire and text comprehension are far from multi real life. Departing from this empire building tends to adopt a paradigm of cultural ideas of the Middle East nation in providing an overview of the values ​​of Islamization.

Post-reform paradigm to the realm of the growing Islamization of liberal ideology in the battle against the empire east west center, that creates an idea of ​​traditional Islam as a counterweight to the liberal with a caliphate. Because traditional Islam is more emphasis on aspects of the text and the context in synergy within the scope of values ​​about the Islamization. So in the face of traditional Islam is a form of indigenous communities in exploring the application of an Islamic cultural context, so that there was a real mutuality between text and context of the teachings of Islam.

Traditional Islam is more likely to lead to an idea of ​​the noble values ​​of indigenous people to dig themselves in a concept initiated to Islamization. For middle eastern culture and western culture is not suited to the personality of indigenous communities. Therefore, by digging in the noble values ​​produces a value of local wisdom in the teachings of Islam as a counterweight to enter between the profane and the sacred life. Departure from where the local knowledge can go along with the values ​​of Islamic teachings, to examine a text and context of mutual integration.

Paradigm of traditional Islam is a middle way in translating the values ​​of Islamization, to Indonesia in the post-reform era able to dig up treasures of the archipelago, to be in the mix between text and context are appropriate in achieving the benefit of the people, which is based of the teachings of the sacred religion of Islam. And Allah Give guidance to the truth, the grace, and His glory.

Liberal Islam Caught In The meaning of Freedom

Freedom of one of the values ​​of a form of expression and innovation in making a polemical commentary on life. Even freedom has entered the realm of religious interpretation of Islam as liberal in interpreting the text and context, but the paradigm of liberal Islam to Western culture tends to lead in creating a formula, whereas the liberal western culture there is often a contradiction with the meaning of Islam.

Liberal Islamic groups often on behalf of freedom in time to get an argument from the parties other than attack the group, but if it recognizes a liberty within the meaning of a language properly, then it's ready with a map that is so complex in response to a reality of life. Departing from this freedom has been stuck on the idea that individuals and groups on behalf of themselves as liberal Islam in container initiated the trouble to Islamization.

When we speak of freedom in the diverse issues faced. Because not all positive freedom in translating ideas a reality. Even freedom can actually damage the joints of life. Due to the limitations of freedom appear in the abstract understanding of the text and context.

The existence of the meaning of freedom has been made in the argument of liberal Islam as a means to protect or attack other groups. Even the ironic freedom has been emasculated as a tool in building an argument, to create an idea in favor of a paradigm in itself, but when he speaks to the true meaning of freedom, of liberty is a form of paradigm in the reality condition freely, both individually and collectively in life.

The meaning of freedom as a form of manifestation of individual and social life in translating a life. But in reality the idea of ​​freedom in Islam tend to be liberal in the sense of individual freedom, at best, only limited freedom of liberal groups within Islam itself or in line with the concept of liberal Islam. So the idea of ​​freedom in Islam tend to be liberal in giving a partial assessment of a meaning.

Liberal Islam are often speak about freedom of speech, but freedom of speech was limited to the interests of groups and individuals themselves, but often negated aspects of the paradigm of the other groups. Because the paradigm of liberal Islam-oriented tend to the affirmation that the Western culture, namely: a sense of freedom in the west, but not the meaning of freedom is universal.

More ironically, it was liberal Islam in giving a sense of freedom is often stuck in the paradigm of the self, whereas if it respects the freedom of liberal Islam as a whole, liberal Islam was supposed to be able to honor the various opinions that come and go from the opposing party.

Problems of Lesbians and Gay is in the sought-after by Irshad Manji can be used as a small example. That the paradigm of liberal Islam often express terms of mutual respect, such as Irshad Manji value the opinion of the freedom campaign on behalf of Lesbians and Gay, but at the moment to get opposition from the Islamic community in Yogyakarta, was a liberal Islamic groups are not able to appreciate a difference of opinion. Even those who oppose discussion of said Irshad Manji is a group that is not able to appreciate a difference of opinion, but if you look at it right in the opinion of the campaign repellent Irshad Manji, of course it was one of a form of freedom. Departing from this liberal has proven unable to provide an understanding of the meaning of freedom of speech as a whole.

Liberal Islam have always used the language of freedom as a powerful argument in the fight against any particular group, especially when dealing with groups opposed to the liberal understanding of Islam, Islam is where liberal means of providing such a narrow meaning of freedom. Because when he speaks in full freedom, that freedom is a form of expression between the pros and cons as a form of freedom of expression. Departing from the unfit liberal Islam is where the judge who disagreed with their ideas with the Islamic label gives the bias in the conflict.

The existence of liberal Islam often echoing a term courage in expressing opinions, but that opinion is at odds with the idea of ​​liberal Islamic groups say the shallowness of thought in the review about the Islamization, Islam means the courage to get stuck on the logic of liberal self-righteousness.

Liberal Islam is the new face of western culture in delivering a shock therapy to the Islamic community, so that people can accept the idea of ​​Islam western nations, while western nations are not willing to accept the paradigm of society as opposed to their own culture.
Freedom becomes the argument of liberal Islam as a means of self-justification in doing a series of building an argument. But at the moment there are diametrically opposite to the idea of ​​paradigms other than the idea of ​​liberal Islam, it is considered not appreciate the freedom, of course, it violates the meaning of freedom in universal.

Depart from the text above, means that liberal Islam stuck in terms of freedom in providing a partial meaning. Because Islam liberal in giving the meaning of freedom only to the extent of freedom perspective on himself and his group paradigm. But at the rejection of the idea of ​​other groups or individuals, Islam was considered a liberal group that opposed it did not appreciate the freedom, but if it clearly gives a sense of freedom, whether in the form of rejection or accept an idea, of all that forms part of a freedom of the proposition itself. And Allah gives guidance to whom He wills of His. He was all-powerful. So I believe there is no god but Allah.
