The unstable world situation due to the Covid-19 Pandemic is indicated to be exploited by radical and anti-government groups to spread their influence . This tendency arises as a number of provocations highlight the importance of the understanding of the Khilafah as a solution to the Corona outbreak to various hoax attacks whose aim is to create a crisis of trust in the Government. The government and the community are expected to continue to be aware of the consolidation of radical groups during the Corona Pandemic .
The ad r group’s supporters of the Khilafah know very well how to take advantage of the situation , especially when all elements of the nation are concentrated on fighting the Corona outbreak . The invasion was no less terrifying than Covid-19. The bet is unity and unity. Chances are, this buying and selling propaganda that is never devoid of customers. In the midst of an emergency situation, there are several groups that use opportunities to target their targets.
The horror is now increasing, the difficulties felt by the people are like the space that must be taken and infiltrated by a virus called radicalism. In general, they are targeting the Psychological community. Without shame, they are in the name of defending the people and continuing to criticize national policies blindly. Without realizing it, many people who fall into their death seduction.
Propaganda was buoyed causes people hesitant to various information developed . If not careful, get ready to lose money. It must be remembered, the radicals only want members who can continue their struggle. This person who cares about our lives, who wants to give real attention like the government. Unfortunately, many parties already believe the information that develops without wanting to check the original source.
One such example is the insistence on the Government to conduct a lockdown . Whereas lockdown will actually kill the community’s economy, make it difficult to access goods needed, and trigger social and economic unrest. Therefore , the pressure to lockdown was allegedly part of the consolidation of radical groups in order to create a chaotic situation , so that people could easily blame the Government.
At this time , the Government and the people continue to work together to prevent a spike in Corona Virus transmission . However, this situation was allegedly infiltrated by radical groups to spread provocation, hoaxes , slander, and expressions of hatred towards the Government. In fact, the state has tried its best to deal with the impact of the Corona Virus , from increasing health facilities to creating fiscal stimulus.
Bamsoet as the chair of the MPR stressed the importance of equitable development to stem the brunt of radicalism. He said he was aware that in public spaces various types of hoax attacks and political maneuvers were seen that tended to degrade legitimate government.
Many people regret this. Amid an outbreak which makes the condition profanity, even exploited by p iha k irresponsible. So that the application of vigilance is mandatory double done. On the one hand against the Corona threat , on the other hand is the threat of radicalism.
As we know, radicalism erodes the arteries of Pancasila. Making the public doubtful of the government that is being carried out until the negative assumptions over the incompetence of the state against its people. This of course can have a very fatal impact, because it can break the unity and integrity of the Unitary Republic of Indonesia. It’s so complicated when it comes to radicalism. Their target is not just adults, but young people to millennials who are often subject to social networking.
Like a contagious virus, radicalism is claimed to infiltrate even more deeply into the roots and incubate. These deviant persons only want the collapse of the government, so that they can quickly take over freely. Strengthening doctrines and propaganda to build their own state and government, as they wish.
Therefore, do not be careless. Even though we are suffering from disaster, keep optimizing efforts, supporting and synergizing with the government. The implication is to protect the country from threats that may approach. Togetherness, tolerance to genuine solidarity, are qualified enough to ward off the seduction of radicalism that continues to lunge and attack without stopping.
Panic, to anxiety is what the radicalists want. The chaos caused by Corona became the right weapon to act immediately. Although invisible, radicalism movements often suddenly greet without regard to existing conditions. Then what are you waiting for? Remain optimistic, supporting all positive steps the government has taken in various efforts to protect its people. Open your eyes, find and check facts scattered news dijejaring social. Because, it is feared that the potential for greater radicalism comes through technological sophistication that seems to offer millions of imagination.
