Demonstrations conducted by FPI and other mass organizations on December 18, 2020 showed new facts. The police arrested a number of members of the mass organization, because they were about to protest while carrying sickles, other sharp weapons, and even marijuana. This discovery made the public even more angry with FPI and demanded its dissolution.
FPI is a mass organization that was born in 1998. Since its establishment, there has always been controversy at every step taken by this mass organization. People have repeatedly criticized them for taking extreme actions such as sweeping without rules, making speeches with hate speech tones, and forcing their will to change the ideology of Pancasila into khilafiyah.
When members of FPI, PA 212, and other mass organizations rallied in front of the State Palace, last December 18, they demanded that Rizieq Shihab be released. Strangely, they promised to carry out a peaceful demonstration. However, when an examination was conducted, there were FPI members who were caught carrying sharp weapons, such as sickles, katana swords (samurai), and other types of weapons.
Why are you demonstrating while carrying sickles and katana? This discovery made the public even more antipathic and branded FPI as a mass organization of thugs. Even though they promised to defend the people. But acting like a barbarian and careless. FPI claimed to be defending the ummah but instead acted harshly, brutally, and took the law into their own hands.
Moreover, during the demonstration yesterday, FPI members were carrying marijuana, even though the drug is clearly prohibited by the state. What is the demo for with cannabis sativa? The image of FPI as a mass organization defending the people was immediately damaged, because it was apparently filled with drug addicts whose hobby was drunk. The police who arrested the FPI member were immediately surprised because they did not expect it.
The disbandment of FPI is a public request to the government, because they have acted beyond their limits. First, they insisted on asking the government to release Rizieq Shihab, even though he was clearly guilty. Why defend someone who violates 2 articles at once (articles on hate speech and quarantine)? If you defend the wrong person, the goal of this organization is very wrong.
Second, FPI members carried sickles and other weapons. This violates Law number 12 of 1951. Because they carry sharp weapons and use them for negative things. If they brought sickles, it was expected that they would fight the police on guard at the demonstration. Even though the police are only carrying out their duties, they are considered enemies, because of the representation from the government.
The discovery of this sharp weapon proved that the police were right. During the shootout on the Jakarta-Cikampek KM 50 toll road, evidence was found in the form of pistols and other sharp weapons, which were carried by FPI members. But they argued that it was a lie. With the discovery of sickles and swords, FPI was caught having a sharp weapon.
The discourse on disbanding FPI has been around for several years. Moreover, this mass organization permit was not extended by the Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian or the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD. As a result, this mass organization is considered illegal because it does not have a permit. Because FPI did what it wanted and did not want to obey the rules in Indonesia.
The people were even happy when FPI was disbanded, because they insisted on turning Indonesia into a khilafiyah state. Even though since independence, NKRI has the Pancasila ideology and it cannot be changed by anyone. If the FPI is still insistent, then they can be classified as separatists, because they change the basis of the country at will.
Disband FPI as soon as possible because they always cause trouble and destroy peace in Indonesia. FPI also failed to understand and could not live up to unity in diversity, because they were intolerant and were cynical towards other people. This organization acts like a thug and the people are always antipathy towards it.
