Morality vs. Democracy

Morality.
What does exactly "morality" stand for? What kind of people can we say have good morality?
Who does exactly have the right to define the good and bad morality?
None, I guess.
Morality, "a doctrine or system of moral conduct" said Merriam Webster dictionary. 
Hmm.. moral. I bet we can never define anyone's morality since we are merely human beings.
There is nothing right or wrong in this world, it's just us mark anything as bad or good.
It is even possible if something good according to us is something bad for some other people.
Just like what happens recently in Indonesia.
The morality of the people, including me, is being tested. Some people accuse them selves as the holy ones, some people against them and think they are crazy, and some other people remain calm.
Honestly, the morality issue in Indonesia bothers me a lot; yet, my friend told me not to care as long as it doesn't disrupt us. Well, it does disrupt our lives, as Muslims. Those "holy" people have made many troubles to our lives. Their actions toward anything that they think is not allowed in Islam has to be "destroyed". 
Sad, they make the name Islam gets worse day by day. They ban people, products, activities, everything they don't like. Who the hell you are??
I together with all the other liberal Muslims in Indonesia are fed up with their actions. 
Who are they? Who else, FPI of course.

I don't care about Lady Gaga's concert banning, I don't care about their ideology, but what I care the most is the peace issue. To be honest, I feel threatened by their actions. Not because I do wrong things, just because I am afraid of hatred virus. I don't want Islam is marked as "the nest of the evils". Terrorists in America and East countries are enough to make people terrified. Just don't add more terrors here in my beloved land of Indonesia. 


Somehow, I miss the moment when our late former President Soeharto  led our country. It was so peaceful and people are so discipline. We were once known as the friendliest people in the world. We once had our warm smiles. We once had respect for our Pancasila and flag. We once held "Bhineka Tunggal Ika" high up in the sky. Now? People seem to forget it. Children tend to love Korea most and forget about our values as Indonesians. We have many different races, languages, cultures. life styles that we need to respect each other. Even we regard the Chinese descendants here as Indonesians. In my opinion, Indonesian people are not ready for democracy. 

In 1998, late former President Soeharto retired from his work and it marked the start of the democracy in Indonesia. However, nothing seems to change, only the buildings and the corruption change, worse. Since that time, people seem like cats being released from their cages. People tend to do anything they want without regarding the Pancasila values. People tend to forget that they live together in this world. Still, in the democracy there is still the morality issue. Democracy is the stage where we can speak up our minds toward everything, but FPI doesn't care about it. They want to make Indonesia as an Islamic country. Well, no way. We have the Pancasila for God sake! We are different! We are not even from the same race and history. People want democracy but you speak about morality. People just want to express their ideas, you express your hatred towards their ideas. Which morality are you talking about? You say the morality is getting worse, well are you the good ones?

Where is the love now?
It's okay to spread the ideology of Islam, Christian, or any other religion; but, please consider the peace. Since I was a kid I was taught that Islam is a holy and peaceful religion. We need to prove somehow instead of forcing people to do what we want.


Let Pancasila and "Bhineka Tunggal Ika" remain in our hearts forever, for we are different from each other.
