Radical understanding is indicated to continue to be spread to the public, consciously or unconsciously . The community also supports the Government’s efforts to eradicate the forbidden understanding which until now is still a serious threat to the survival of the life of the nation and state .
Radicalism becomes a dangerous threat for the Republic of Indonesia, how the spread of the corona virus does not seem to be comparable to the spread of the radicalism virus. This is because radicalism can spread through various media, while corona spreads when there is direct contact with sufferers.
With this logic, it certainly makes sense when the government decides not to repatriate hundreds of ex-IS IS IS citizens and cross-border terrorists to Indonesia, anyways they go to Syria also of their own volition.
In 2020, radicalism is predicted to still be a threat with trends that lead to anarchism. This potential must be watched out for so that Indonesia’s security capability is maintained.
One threat that cannot be denied is the radical messages conveyed through the internet, especially social media, it can be a doctrine to lead public opinion.
we also can not deny that with the fast internet flow, it makes it easier for radicals to spread their ideology. So that someone who will suddenly forbid this will be found is only based on studies on the Internet.
Former National Police Chief Tito Karn avian once stated that terrorists who carried out their actions in Medan, North Sumatra, learned radical ideas through cyberspace.
The Ministry of Communication and Information has so far monitored 200 sites on the Internet that have negative charges . In 2015, as many as 22 sites that spread radicalism were blocked by the government. Even blocking does not require complicated procedures.
Through the internet, internet users can get extreme understanding wrapped in propaganda in the form of anxiety narratives. The narration raises the perception of a threat that the world will deteriorate.
To make ‘improvements’ to the world, radical groups provide roles for young people with sentences . If you want to be a good person, you must have a contribution.
It certainly makes it easier for anyone who wants to wage jihad at the wrong moment, the doctrine of radical understanding spreads so quickly that it spreads the corona virus.
In addition, we also need to realize that radicalism will become a big problem when synergizing with politics and using social media to smooth out their political goals.
In Indonesia, anyone can be exposed to radical understandings, including the State Civil Apparatus (ASN). Responding to this, the Government formed a supervisory team to understand radicalism in the ASN environment and signed a MoU of supervision with a number of Ministries and Institutions.
Minister of Administrative Reform and Bureaucracy Reform (MenPAN-RB) Tjahjo Kumolo emphasized that the government will continue to monitor and monitor every digital footprint of echelon I and II officials’ social media.
Tjahjo also said, ASN as a State Servant, should be able to become the nation’s glue, in the use of social media, ASN was asked to use it as a means of communication to disseminate information between individuals, individuals and institutions as well as between institutions to build an atmosphere in dealing with challenges and environmental changes.
In accordance with the circular, the government will impose strict sanctions on ASN involved in radicalism, especially for ASN who use social media to foster a sense of hatred towards Pancasila, the 1945 Constitution, NKRI, Unity in Diversity and the Government.
T Indak-up of the government’s seriousness in combating radicalism seed is also done with the signing of the Joint Decree (SKB) on the handling of radicalism in order to strengthen national awareness along with 11 ministries and glue baga.
Radical understanding clearly wants the Pancasila to be revised, this will certainly be dangerous if there are internal civil servants who are still reluctant to respect Red and White and are not willing to sing the Indonesia Raya song.
If this has happened, then relevant government officials such as the BNPT must prepare a formula to combat radicalism in the ASN environment, such as counter radicalization, for example, where we prepare the resilience of the community in accepting understanding from outside. Understanding that must be anticipated is that which has the potential to influence diversity.
Radicalism is a threat that is not kidding, the state ideology is final and cannot be disturbed by anyone. We must realize that Indonesia lives with diversity, not with divisions caused by differences in understanding.
