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

 

India memang dikenal pelaksana demokrasi paling demokratis, pernah menerima posisi wakil perdana mentri muslim, tetapi tidak pernah sepi konflik dengan tetangganya Pakistan yang muslim, pertumpahan darah dan bom-bom di dalam negeri juga marak, sengketa kashmir juga gak jelas juntrungnya. Afghanistan apalagi, perang antar suku paling sering dan taliban adalah kelompok paling dominan dan amat radikal. Indonesia ?? dulu memang ramah, sekarang ?? setiap minggu berita media massa selalu ganti headline kekerasan demi kekerasan. Mungkin di belaham bumi lain sama juga ya ??

Wassalam
