Re: [wanita-muslimah] Re: Perang, Damai, dan Perempuan

 

Memang harus kuno, sebab harus kontekstual dengan: "kalau Taliban kembali menguasai Afganistan." Postingan sayakan untuk merespons tulisan KM sbb: Begitu simpel? Apakah kalau Taliban kembali menguasai Afganistan nasib perempuan di san akan jadilebih bagus?
Ah, ente kurang jeli rupanya, seharusnya tidak perlu penjelasan bahwa postingan saya itu merespons tulisan KM.

Perihal Sayid Rahmatullah Hashemi sudah enak-enak jadi mahasiswa di Amerika apa salahnya. Nabi SAW bersabda: Uthlubul 'ilma walau kaana bisshiin, Tuntutlah ilmu walaupun di Cina. Secara kontekstual, rupanya bagi Rahmatullah Hashemi Cina itu disubstitusi dengan Amerika.

Di bawah saya sajikan pula barang kuno, tetapi kuat relevansinya dengan "keluhan" KM perihal kalau Taliban kembali menguasai Afganistan. Reference diambil dari the edited version of the transcription of a lecture given by Sayyid Rahmatullah Hashemi

499 Issue Miring Thaliban Mengenai Perempuan dan Patung Budha

Demi keotentikan, sebagai pertanggung-jawaban kepada Allah SWT, dalam kolom ini setiap ayat Al Quran ditransliterasikan huruf demi huruf. Bila pembaca merasa "terusik" dengan transliterasi ini, tolong dilampaui, langsung ke cara membacanya saja.
Firman Allah SWT:
-- YAYHA ALDZYN AMNWA AN JA^KM FASQ BNBA FTBYNWA AN TSHYBWA QWMA BJHALT FTSHBHWA 'ALY MA F'ALTM NADMYN (S. ALHJRAT, 6), dibaca: ya-ayyuhal ladzi-na a-manu- in ja-kum fa-siqum binabain fatabayyanu- an tushi-bu qawman bijaha-latin fatushbihu- 'ala- ma- fa'altum na-dimi-n (s. al hujura-t), artinya:
-- Hai orang-orang beriman, jika datang kepadamu orang-orang fasiq dengan berita, maka lakukanlah klarifikasi, jangan sampai kamu tanpa pengetahuan menimpakan musibah kepada suatu kaum, lalu kamu menyesal atas perbuatanmu (49:6).

The following is the edited version of the transcription of a lecture given by Sayyid Rahmatullah Hashemi, the roving Ambassador from Afghanistan who visited the US, at the University Of Southern California in Los Angeles, on March 10, 2001.

Adakah anda (di Amerika ini) ketahui apa yang terjadi sebelum kami memerintah? Sebelum Thaliban memerintah, kaum perempuan di kawasan luar kota diperlakukan sebagai binatang. Mereka dijual. Kami (Thaliban) menghapuskan tindakan yang sangat keji ini. Kaum perempuan tidak punya hak suara dalam memilih suami bagi mereka. Thaliban memberikan perempuan hak untuk memilih calon suami masing-masing. Suatu lagi yang jelek yang berlaku atas kaum perempuan di Afghanistan adalah mereka ditukar-tukar sebagai hadiah. Padahal tindakan ini bertentangan dengan agama. Ini sebenarnya merupakan budaya. Adalah menjadi tradisi bila dua kelompok yang bertempur ingin berdamai, maka mereka akan bertukar-tukaran perempuan. Dan tindakan keji ini sudah dihentikan oleh Thaliban.

Berlainan sekali dengan tuduhan-tuduhan yang dilemparkan, kaum perempuan di Afghanistan sebenarnya di izinkan bekerja. Kami akui, sebelum 1996, yaitu sebelum kami menaklukan ibu kota, Kabul, kami telah meminta kaum perempuan supaya tinggal di rumah. Tetapi kami tidak sekali-kali berniat untuk menyuruh mereka tinggal rumah buat selama-lamanya. Kami menerangkan kepada kaum perempuan bahwa mereka perlu tinggal rumah karena pada waktu itu keadaan huru-hara tanpa ada undang-undang dan oleh karena itu tidak aman bagi perempuan keluar rumah. Kini kami sudah melucuti senjata-senjata milik pribadi-pribadi, kami sudah membuat undang-undang, maka dengan keamanan tersebut perempuan sudah dibenarkan bekerja kembali. Kami akui Kaum perempuan kami tidak dibenarkan bekerja pada Kementerian Pertahanan seperti di Amerika ini. Kami tidak mau kaum perempuan kami jadi pilot jet tempur, atau dipergunakan sebagai objek-objek yang menghiasi iklan-iklan. Tetapi perempuan kami memang dibenarkan berkerja. Mereka bekerja di Kementerian Kesehatan, Kementerian Dalam Negeri, Pendidikan, Kesejahteraan Umum dan seterusnya.

Kami juga tidak menghalangi kaum perempuan untuk mendapatkan pendidikan. Kami diperintah (oleh Allah) untuk memberi pendidikan kepada kaum perempuan. Sebelum kami mengambil alih pemerintahan terdapat bermacam permasalahan pendidikan kurikulum yang mendidik taat setia kepada keluarga raja, pendidikan ala komunis, dan kurrikulum yang diperkenalkan oleh bermacam pihak, sehingga pelajar-pelajar menjadi bingung. Kamipun dapat menyatukan semua kurikulum yang campur baur itu. (Issue perempuan telah terklarifkasi).

Kini kami dikenakan embargo ekonomi yang menimbulkan banyak masalah. Kami telah menderita begitu lama -- 23 tahun berperang, infrastruktur kami habis musnah, masalah pengungsi, dan masalah ranjau yang sengaja ditanam oleh Rusia di ladang-ladang kami --- tetapi tiba-tiba PBB dengan hasutan Russia mengenakan embargo ekonomi atas Afghanistan. Dan embargo ekonomi itu dijatuhkan. Beratus anak-anak mati setiap bulan karena kekurangan makanan dalam keadaan iklim yang dingin. Dunia tidak peduli. Tetapi dunia sangat peduli dengan patung-patung yang dimusnahkan. Dunia memulihkan patung-patung, sementara anak-anak kami dibiarkan mati yang berarti masa depan kami juga akan mati, maka dunia tidak berhak terhadap warisan kami. UNESCO dan sebuah NGO dari Scandinavia datang dengan proyek untuk memulihkan muka-muka patung-patung tersebut yang sudah dikikis oleh hujan. Majlis Rakyat Afghanistan memohon agar uang untuk memulihkan patung-patung tersebut digunakan untuk menyelamatkan nyawa anak-anak Afghanistan. Tetapi UNESCO dan NGO tersebut menjawab, "Tidak bisa, uang ini hanya untuk patung-patung." Kalau anda berada dalam keadaan demikian apakah yang akan anda lakukan ? Anak-anak anda akan mati di depan mata anda, anda dibawah embargo ekonomi, dan orang-orang yang memaksakan embargo ekonomi atas anda itu datang untuk memugar patung-patung. Apa yang akan anda lakukan? Kofi Annan, Sekjen PBB pergi ke Pakistan dan berjanji untuk menemui wakil Afghanistan di sana. Tetapi orang bernama Kofi Annan ini tidak mau ambil peduli penderitaan anak-anak kami akibat embargo ekonomi PBB. Kofi Annan enggan sama sekali untuk memperbincangkan masalah kemiskinan di Afghanistan, ia hanya mau memperbincangkan masalah patung-patung Buddha yang ingin dipugar itu. Ini benar-benar tidak masuk akal. Maka kami memusnahkan patung-patung tersebut. (Inilah klarifikasi tentang pemusnahan patung Budha from the other side of America). WaLlahu a'lamu bishshawab.

"The Taliban Are Well Liked"

A Japanese doctor's up-close observations contradict overseas reports

By MUTSUKO MURAKAMI

Thursday, October 18, 2001
http://www.asiaweek.com/asiaweek/daily/foc/0,8773,180342,00.html

Japanese doctor Tetsu Nakamura works with leprosy patients and refugees in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It's a job that keeps him in touch with the raw reality of life in that troubled country. And he says that from what he has seen, the Taliban are being wrongly portrayed internationally. "There's something wrong with the media reports," he says. "This talk of the Taliban being vicious and disliked doesn't fit with reality." Nakamura says the fundamentalists have wide support from the population, particularly in rural areas. "Otherwise, how can they rule 95% of the country with only 15,000 soldiers?"

Comment : Ini yang tidak disadari, atau sengaja ditutupi oleh banyak media. Sebab tidak lah mungkin sebuah pemerintahan dapat bertahan bila cara -cara pemerintahannya tidak berkenan di hati rakyatnya. Dan kalau mau mereka dapat melawan Taliban jika Taliban ini memang biadab, sebab Taliban Cuma punya 15000 tentara.

Villagers around Nakamura's Peshawar base hospital and 10 clinics in both northwestern Pakistan and eastern Afghanistan were pleased to see peace established under Taliban rule, he says. The Pushtun people, who make up two-thirds of the Afghan population, can accept strict Muslim codes because they have lived by them all their lives, he says. Women are not
deprived of education or jobs, as far as he can see. In fact, half the local doctors at his clinics are women.

Comment : Sekali lagi, ini adalah dokter dari Jepang lho, yang kemungkinan beragama Shinto. Dia sendiri mengatakan bahwa setengah dari dokter local di kliniknya adalah perempuan. Jadi ? Tuduhan bahwa wanita di Afghan tidak boleh bekerja itu fitnah dong ? dan orang - orang yang ikut menyebarkan juga melakukan fitnah.

So why are the people of the capital, Kabul, reportedly hoping to see the Taliban overthrown? "The Taliban may act differently there," he told me when we met recently in Tokyo. "They're obliged to fix the corrupt urban life. The people most vocal in criticizing the Taliban are upper-class Afghans who have been deprived of their privileges." Nakamura's words
reminded me of news footage I have seen several times since the attacks on New York and Washington. Shot by French journalists in Afghanistan, it showed Afghan women speaking critically of the Taliban. Significantly, they are dressed in shiny silk-like costumes, with large rings on their fingers.

Comment : Ini tidaklah mengherankan. Pengungsi Afghan yang ada di Wisma Palar bogor, tidak disenangi oleh rakyat Indonesia sekitarnya. Menurut para pengurus Wisma Palar, Pengungsi dari Afghan itu rewel, sebab untuk mandi, mereka sering beralasan, air nya jorok, tidak bisa tidur karena banyak nyamuk, sampai kadang - kadang seprei yang tidak rapipun jadi permasalahan bagi mereka. Ciri - cirri orang Kaya. Terus, mereka membayar biaya pelarian dari Afghan itu, mereka mengeluarkan biaya sekitar 5000 sampai 25000 US Dollar. Mungkinkah orang - orang Afghan yang miskin punya uang sebanyak itu ? Jadi kloplah dengan cerita doctor dari jepang tsb, pantas saja.

Nakamura, 55, says the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance are not the freedom fighters some journalists describe them as. Villagers are frightened of them because they are violent and cruel, he says. They execute innocent people in horrific ways, though not in public as the Taliban do as a warning to others.

Comment : Ya, itu pasukan Aliansi Utara itu didukung oleh Komunis, terutama persenjataannya. Tapi mereka tidak bisa mengalahkan Taliban, selain tidak disenangi oleh Rakyat Afghan , mereka juga tidak punya keberanian untuk melawan Taliban. Bahkan mereka menunggu dulu US dansekutunya membersihkan garis depan Taliban dengan bom, supaya mereka dapat melaluinya dengan tenang, tanpa ketakutan. Amerika salah besar menggunakan Aliansi Utara ini.

Nakamura works for Peshawar kai Medical Services, a Japanese aid agency based in Fukuoka City that has been operating in the Peshawar district for 17 years. He first visited the area as an alpinist when he was still a medical school student in Fukuoka. Shocked by the lack of medical care in the area, particularly for leprosy patients, he volunteered to work at a
local hospital in l984. He says: "I spent most of my time not in straight medical work but in trying to understand my patients, their lifestyles and values -- what makes them weep or what matters most for them. "Luckily, I can eat anything and sleep anywhere," he grins.

Comment : So, jadi tidak ada toh pemaksaan dari Taliban itu ?

Nakamura has seen foreigners visiting Afghanistan and returning home to criticize the Muslim culture -- from a Western perspective. These people may be "heroes or heroines in London or New York," he says, "but they contribute nothing to the welfare of Afghans." As for suggestions the Taliban have cut the country off from the world, Nakamura says the Afghans are perhaps better informed than the Japanese, as they listen daily to BBC radio in their own language.

Comment : jadi yang katanya Taliban melarang informasi itu juga tidak ada toh ? Bahkan Nakamura sendiri bilang bahwa mungkin Afghan lebih baik mendengar berita dari pada rakyat Jepang sendiri, sebab mereka mendengar radio BBC kok dalam bahasa mereka. Dan , tentu saja, usaha US yang berdasarkan informasi yang salah, yang akan membuat stasiun berita Free Afghanistan itu buang buang uang saja. Sebab toh Afghan sendiri sudah well inform dari BBC maupun AL Jazeera. Intelijen Amerika kudu di perbaiki lagi tuh.

The doctor's greatest concern is the fate of millions of starving refugees in and around Afghanistan. Over one million of them are suffering from hunger, he says, while up to 40% are bordering on starvation. He thinks 10% could die during the winter. Nakamura and his staff stopped focusing exclusively on leprosy in the l980s as they had so many refugees to deal with, many suffering from malaria, diarrhea, infections and fever. Severe draught in recent years created hundreds of thousands of refugees. And now the American bombing and the fear of an invasion has brought more. His aid agency helps to dig wells not only to provide water but also for irrigation for farms, so that the refugees can return to their villages.

Comment : Tapi Taliban dulu pernah minta bantuan ke PBB untuk membantu para pengungsi, tapi tidak satu sen pun di keluarkan PBB untuk menolong rakyat Afghan, tapi begitu rencana renovasi patung Budha itu, jutaan dollar AS dikucurkan oleh PBB untuk renovasi tsb. Bayangkan, PBB lebih mementingkan patung itu daripada penderitaan Afghan ? Pantas, Mullah Omar kemudian marah dan membom patung tersebut.

Back home in Japan temporarily and thinking of his base area in Pakistan and Afghanistan, Nakamura says: "It's all like a mirage far off in the desert." He fondly recalls the red-brown soil of Afghanistan fields, the villagers sharing their joy about water from newly dug wells, and the friendly faces of Taliban soldiers helping villagers. "I have one simple question," he says. "What are the big powers trying to defend by attacking this ailing, tiny country?" It's a good question.

Comment : Katanya sih disana ada Emas dan Minyak yang belum diekspolarsi dok. Mungkin saja ada udang di balik bakwan.

Roving Afghanistan Ambassador Sayyid Rahmatullah Hashemi's Speech at The University of Southern California on March 10, 2001

Allah says:
Yaa ayyuhal ladziina aamanuu in jaa.akum fa-siqun binabain fatabayyanuu an tushiibu qawman bijahaalatin fatushbihuu 'alaa maa fa'altum naadimi-n (s. al hujuraat, 49:6), O you who believe! If a rebellious evil person comes to you with a news, verify it, lest you harm people in ignorance, and afterwards you become regretful to what you have done. (Qur`an 49:6)

Sayyid Rahmatullah Hashemi is the roving Ambassador from Afghanistan who recently visited the US. He has been active in giving lectures on the real situation regarding the Taliban in Afghanistan throughout Central and Southern California. The following is the transcribed lecture given by Sayyid Rahmatullah Hashemi at the University Of Southern California on March 10, 2001.

Sayyid Rahmatullah Hashemi:
I was just coming from [a meeting with] a group of scholars, and the first thing we started with there was the statues. And the first thing we started with here was also the statues. It's very unfortunate how little we see and how little we know. And it really confuses me, if people really know that little or not. Nobody has seen the problems of Afghanistan; nobody saw their problems before. And the only thing that represents Afghanistan today are the statues.

The problems of Afghanistan are not new. As you know, Afghanistan is called The Crossroads of Asia. We are suffering because of our geo-strategic location. We have suffered in the 18th century, 19th century - and we are still suffering in this century.

We have not attacked the British. We have not attacked the Russians. It was they who attacked us. So the problems in Afghanistan you see are not our creation. They reflect the image of Afghanistan to the world. If you don't like the image in the mirror, do not break the mirror; break your face.

The problems in Afghanistan started in 1979. Afghanistan was a peaceful country and it was doing its own job. 140,000 Russian troops attacked Afghanistan in December 1979, just 21 years ago. They stayed there for a decade, killed one and a half million people, maimed one million more people, and six million out of the eighteen million people migrated because of Russian brutalities. Even today, our children are dying because of the landmines that they planted for us. And nobody knows about this.

During the Russian occupation, on the other side, the American government, the British government, the French, the Chinese, and all the rest supported the counter-revolutionaries called the Mujahideen; only 7 parties in Pakistan and 8 parties in Iran fought the Russian occupation. And after the Russians left, these parties went into Afghanistan. All of them had different ideologies and a lot of weapons. And instead of having a single administration, they fought in Afghanistan.

The destruction that they brought was worse than the destruction the Russians brought. 63,000 people were killed in just the capital, Kabul. Seeing all this chaos and the complete destruction of our country - after the Soviets left, another million people migrated because of the lawlessness that existed amongst Afghanistan's 7 million people.

Seeing this destruction and lawlessness, a group of students called the Taliban - Taliban is the plural word of students in our language; it may be two students in Arabic, but in our language it means students so a group of students started a movement called the Movement of Students. It first started in a village in the southern province of Afghanistan, called Kandahar. It happened when a war-lord, or a commander abducted two minor girls, raped them. The parents of those girls went to a school and asked the teacher of the school to help them. Mullah Muhammad Umar the teacher of that school, along with his 53 students, with only 16 guns, attacked the base of that commander. After releasing those two girls, they hanged the commander, and many of the commander's people were also hanged.

This story was told everywhere; and this was called the terrorist story of the Taliban, or the Students. BBC quoted this story. Hearing this story, many other students joined this movement and started disarming the rest of the warlords, who were worse than these. I will not prolong this story so far, these same students movement controls 95% of the country; they captured the capital, including the four major cities. And only a bunch of those warlords are remaining in the northern corridor of Afghanistan.

So our achievements are as follows. We are in a government for only five years, and the following things that we have done, and many of you may not know:

So the first thing we have done, begun [to give] to the people is a secure and peaceful life. The second major thing that we have restored is to give them free and fair justice; you don't have to buy justice, unlike here. You will have justice freely. And you have criticized us for violating women's rights; now, who knows what happened before us. Only some symbolic schools, or symbolic posts were given to some women in the ministry, and that was called the restoration of women's rights. I can see some Afghans living here, and they will agree with me, that in the rural areas of Afghanistan, women were used as animals. They were SOLD actually. The first thing we have done is to give the self-determination to women, and it happened not in the history of Afghanistan. Throughout the history of Afghanistan, during all the so-called civilized kings or whatever, they didn't give this right to women, so women were sold! They didn't have the right to select their husbands, or to reject their husbands. First thing we have done is to let them choose their future. And you will know that throughout south Asia, women are killed under the title of honor killings. It happens when a woman's relation is detected with a man, whether or not the relation was sexual, they're both killed. But now this is not happening in our country. And the third thing that happened only in Afghanistan, was women were exchanged as gifts; this was not something religious; this was something cultural. When two tribal tribes were fighting among themselves, then in order to get their tribal issue reconciliated, they would exchange women, and then [they] would make, or announce reconciliation. And this has been stopped.

If we [had to give] fundamental rights of woman, we had to start from zero; we couldn t jump in the middle. Now you've asked me about the rights of women's education and the rights of women's work. Unlike what is said here, women do work in Afghanistan. You're right that until 1997 I mean, in 1996 when we captured the capitol Kabul, we did ask women to stay home. It didn't mean that we wanted them to stay at home forever, but nobody listened to us. We said that there is no law, and there is no order, and have to stay at home. They were raped before us, everyday. So, after we disarmed the people, and after we brought law and order, and now women are working. You are right that women are not working in the ministry of defense, like here. We don't want our women to be fighter pilot[s], or to be used as objects of decoration for advertisements. But they do work. They work in the Ministry of Health, Interior, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Social Affairs, and so on. So, and we don't have any problem with women's education. We have said that we want education, and we will have education whether or not we are under anybody's pressure, because that is part of our belief. We are ordered to do that.

When we say that there should be segregated schools, it does not mean that we don't want our women to be educated. It is true that we are against co-education; but it is not true that we are against women's education. We do have schools even now, but the problem is the resources. We cannot expand these programs. Before, our government there were numerous curriculums that were going on; there were curriculums which preached the king for the kings, and there were curriculums which preached for the communists, and there were curriculums from all these seven parties [the previously mentioned]. So, the Students were confused as to what to study, and the first we have done today is to unify that curriculum, and that's going on. But we are criticized, and we say that instead of criticism, if you just help us once, that will make a difference. Because criticism will not make a difference.

If you criticise from New York, thousands of miles away, we don't care. But if you come there and help us, we do care. Actually there are more girls students studying in the faculty of medical sciences than boys are. This is not me who is saying this, it is the United Nations who has announced this. Recently we reopened the faculty of medical science in all major cities of Afghanistan and in Kandahar, there are more girl students than boys! But they are segregated. And the Swedish committees have also established schools for girls. I know they are not enough, but that's what we can do. So, that is what I say that we have restored. I don't say we are 100% perfect, and nobody will say that they are 100% perfect. We do have shortcomings, and we do need to amend our policies. But we can t do everything over night.
