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

 

Ditinjau dari kerangka kerja Dinul Islam, hususnya bidang perkembangan budaya dan masyarakat manusia sebagaimana difirmankan dalam Al-Quran, maka berlangsungnya perpecahan daan peperangan di antara bangsa-bangas, suku-suku bangsa, golongan, kelompok pemikiran dll yang kini sedang berlangsung adalah suatu bukti adanya metodologi alamiyah dalam mendidik manusia untuk meningkatkan ahlaaq biologisnya ke tingkat ahlaaq mulia, di mana dengan dicapainya tingkat ahlaaq mulia kemanusiaan tersebut manusia akan dapat mewakili Tuhan di Bumi sebagaimana di firmankan dalam QS.2:30. Di samping itu gen-biologi menunjukkan berlangsungnya evolusi individual dan kelompok dalam waktu yang bersamaan secara makroskopis dan mikroskopis pada spesies manusia (homosapiens-sapiens). Proses ini akan berlangsung hingga titik jenuh tertinggi (kulminasi) psikologis sebagai model medan gaya alami yang menopang sel-sel hidup manusia kembali menurun dan melompat ke suatu kesadaran kemanusiaan yang baru sebagai wujud peningkatan ahlaaq biologisnya.

Karena itu dalam memandang hidup dan kehidupan di Bumi diperlukan keobyektifan alamiyah dan kesabaran psikologis.

Begitu simpel? Apakah kalau Taliban kembali menguasai

Afganistan nasib perempuan di san akan jadilebih bagus?

Biarkan Afgan mengatur dirinya sendiri, tetapi Afgan yang

mana? Sepanjang yang menentukan kaum laki-laki, nasib

perempuan ya akan sama saja. Itu inti dari keluhan Ann

Jones.
