Jakarta, CIDISS – At this time, the case of terror being much to talk about, starting from terror cases in Bangkok, Paris, Istanbul, and now the case that make Indonesian citizens mourning. There will never be forgotten in our minds, how terrible Bali bombing 14 years ago. And now, January 14, 2016, repeated cases of terror that killed many innocent citizens in the city of Jakarta. Sarinah building a silent witness to the brutality of a group of terrorists who commit suicide bombings and shootings against security forces and civilians. Actions by terrorist groups are the implications of the call for jihad voiced by prominent leaders of the MIT group (Mujahidin Indonesia Timur) some time ago. Calls of jihad in the form of instigation to commit amaliyah (action) in Syria or do amaliyah at each venue.
Acts of terror is a very inhuman crime, especially acts of terror it caused a lot of innocent people become victims. The international community has also been established that terrorism is an international crime that must be eradicated together by each country. In the case of terror in Jakarta, many terrorist groups suspected of carrying out brutal acts in front of the Sarinah. But groups that are suspected of being ISIS network in Indonesia, so that ISIS is suspected to be the mastermind in doing acts of terror that caused seven people died. In addition, many photographs are scattered in cyberspace about the perpetrators of acts of terror which is militant ISIS and had gone to Syria to do amaliyah there. It is confirmed that the ISIS network in Indonesia was responsible for acts of terror were very brutal.
Many people have speculated about the terrorist acts, it was said that acts of terror is a diversion from the issue of the deadline PT. Freeport Indonesia to offer shares, some say the action is the transfer of the trial of corruption cases at KPK, and many more public perception that does not have a strong base. Many people are affected by the broadcast message through social media were unclear origin. Though the message delivered in a broadcast message is not necessarily true, and even many misleading and not in accordance with the facts.
When viewed from the motive, such terrorist acts are no different from most of the terror acts that have occurred in Indonesia, namely jihad to fight the Ansorut (infidels). The perpetrators assumed that by doing Jihad, they will get paradise in return. Yet when we examine again, that acts of terror under the guise of jihad that they do cause harm to people who are innocent and are not necessarily the victims are people who are anti-Islam.
So it can be said that terrorists remain a terrorist, causing harm to the general public. Most of the terrorist group only uses the guise of religion as a basis for action, but the ultimate goal is to overthrow the integrity of Indonesia, which consists of various ethnic, religious and cultural.
Indonesian society should be smart in addressing the problems of terror, do not easily believe the news is not certain sources without knowing the truth, and do not be too affected by acts of terror using the guise of religion as the basis. Because all acts of terror is an international crime that must be eradicated shared by all levels of society. Not only the security forces, but also the community can participate combat terrorism by always vigilant and recognize the surrounding environment, and reported to the authorities when getting and knowing there are things that are suspicious, especially with regard to terrorism.
