The Hypocrisy of Indonesian Voters every Election Time!
The Hypocrisy of Indonesian Voters over Religion
Halo!
Hohohoho, there might be lots of people that would be triggered by this post.
Well actually, I already had several debates regarding choosing a "non-muslim" leader, at least, with my family. Some of them said to me about Al-Maidah 51, which is about choosing Muslim leader rather than the non-muslim ones. But, me myself and I keep wondering "Is it that simple?". I mean, can't we consider another things like his/her "Capabilities", Track records, the idea of leading the communities, future plans for the cities, and etc .....
Myself keep asking "Whenever a non-muslim person want to be a leader, Does his "religion" would eliminate him directly? Can't we just sit there, listen for their visions, and compare it with another candidates? Because it's not only about Islam, it's about a nation, or organization, which can lead us forward, or backward. And for sure, even though Muslims are the m ajority in this country, can't we consider the other religions? Do they have their voices heard? Do their voices matters? Can't we listen to them and considering what this nation needs?"
And finally ..... once again, I asked "Is my religion, Islam, really this egocentric? I mean, we already declare ourselves to be 'Rahmatan lil Alamin', right?". Rahmatan lil Alamin is a very serious word. It means, Islam is a mercy to ALL mankind! No matter what your race or religion is ..... Isn't it? So, where's these words whenever comes the election years (?) It looks like we tend to be divided by these issues though.
Last but not least, if you're choosing a leader, just by their religion blindly ..... I would like to ask you a question "What makes you keep working with them? I mean, they're your leader for sure, right?". If you think it's okay, well, I must consider you as "Hypocrite" though. Don't get me wrong, please stop using double standard over anything hohohoho.
