Peaceful Islamic Teaching, Systematic Policy to Destroy Islamic Personality from Muslim Students

News

As reported in media, Religious Affairs Minister Lukman Hakim Saifuddin introduced on Tuesday (11th August) a new curriculum that would promote peaceful Islamic teachings at all levels of education in Indonesia from elementary to senior high school. The new module would allow students to learn about Islam as a religion that embraced diversity and promoted peace and tolerance in what they call as Rahmatan lil 'alamin base of Islamic teaching.

Through this new method it aims that Islamic teaching will create man who loves peace, upholds respect for the cultural and religious differences and implements democracy. The minister added that the curriculum was the government's response to the need for religious teachings that promoted peace amid the increasing spread of violent and radical doctrines at academic institutions.

Comment

It is a very dangerous policy that can destroy the identity of Muslim students. It must be corrected and stopped!. There are 47 million Muslim children who will become victims of this program. This peaceful Islamic learning module is a systematic way to paint personality of Muslims to adopt western kufr values and become 'friendly' to the existence of neoimperialism of the west in this country.

As admitted the ministry has sent 30 selected Islamic teachers to Oxford University a few months ago to have intensive training on religious teaching. Those teachers also visited churches, museums and religious schools in the UK in order to see how 'great' western civilization.

This is actually a poison for Muslim teachers who will spread the poison of western values to their students.
Peaceful Islam is only a terminology without a certain meaning. It only creates deception and delusion. It promotes capitalist thoughts by claiming that they do not contradict Islam to such an extent that some Muslims considered them as part of Islam, such as democracy, pluralism etc. On the other hand, it denounced certain Islamic thoughts and described them as uncivilized and out of date, such as jihad, hudood, polygamy and other Sharia' rules. So, the new curriculum will reshape the personality of the Muslim anew such that he finds no shame in leaving the duty (Wajib) and doing the prohibited (Haram). Then it will corrupt the Islamic desires and values and destroy in the Muslim the zeal for Islam such that a Muslim no longer hates Kufr and the Kafireen, and he no longer enjoins good and forbids evil. With this, Muslims will lose the cultural immunity with which they resisted all external elements. Without the immunity the emotional and intellectual barriers that threatened the presence of Capitalist civilisation in this country will be removed.

Let's realize, this is a systematic effort to distance Muslims and the next generation from their Aqeedah and Shariah. It will distance them from Islamic revival too. Moreover, peaceful Islam or Islam rahmatan lil alamin has been campaigned as opposite of group aims to reestablish Islamic state or Khilafah "Caliphate" Islamiah. In the Islamic system of education all lessons would be able to generate Muslims with solid faith and a deep-clear understanding of Islam that sets it apart from an understanding of Kufr, rejecting all forms of injustice, oppression and imperialism. Today we need the presence of Islamic system of education in the shade of Khilafah "Caliphate" instead of the change of curriculum that hinder the reestablishment of Khilafah "Caliphate".
