On Wednesday, July 19, 2017 to be the end of the trip Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) Through the Director General of Legal Administration Ministry of Law and Human Rights Freddy Harris, the government officially issued the Ministry of Law and Human Rights No. AHU -30.AHA.01.08.2017 on the revocation of the Minister of Justice and Human rights No. AHU 00282.60.10.2014.2014 on Ratification establishment HTI Society. Thus, HTI declared dissolved.
The government through Ministry of Law and Human Rights claimed that HTI's dissolution was not a hasty and unresponsive decision. While announcing the dissolution of HTI, the government also briefly discloses the reasons underlying the decision. Among other things, HTI dissolution is done in order to maintain the existence of the 1945 Constitution and the integrity of NKRI. Such conclusion was drawn based on the data, facts, and coordination of all agencies under the coordination of Kemenkopolhukam.
However, where there is action there will also be a reaction. Post-HTI dissolution, the government was "attacked" rain of criticism. Not a few parties who regret, questioned, even condemned the dissolution of HTI with various reasons. One of the many reasons that arises is the lack of confidence in the urgency of HTI dissolution.
According to some, HTI currently has no "threat" for Indonesia. It is seen one of the HTI obedience to the law in doing various activities. However, is it true that HTI does not "threaten" NKRI as assumed by some circles?
To answer the above question, we need to look further into the "inside" HTI. In the book MafahimHizbutTahrirkarya SyaikhTaqiyuddinan-Nabhani (founder Hizbut Tahrir) stated that in order to achieve its objectives, HT (including HTI) through three methods or stages propaganda that claimed compliance with the guidance of the Messenger of Allaah alaihiwasallam.
The third method, namely the stage of development and cadre (marhalahats-Thaqlf), stage interacting with the community (marhalahtafa'ulma'aal-umma), and the stage of receiving or gain power (marhalahistilaamal-hukm).
Stages of coaching and pengaderan implemented by forming small recitation groups (commonly called halaqoh) with the aim of doctrine to the cadres. The stages are then followed by the stages of interacting with the community, which is usually carried out in the form of personal dakwah, tabligh akbar, seminars, open discussions, and even rallies.
The purpose of this stage is to awaken the people (non-HTI community) that all the problems that exist today comes from the absence of khilafah as an institution that implements Islamic law as a whole.
Until now, only the two stages above that have been done HTI simultaneously and continuously. As for the last stage of da'wah, or the stage of receiving / obtaining power, has not been done by HTI or HizbutTahrir in any part of the world. The reason is simple, namely the absence of the ability to perform these stages. However, it is precisely in the last stage that lies the potential "threat" HTI to NKRI in the empirical level.
The stage of accepting power is defined as the stage in which the owners of power (ahlulquwwah), in this case can be interpreted as a legitimate government or a military force within a state, surrendering power to HizbutTahrir supported by other Muslim elements to uphold the khilafah.
In the Indonesian context, this stage occurs when "Indonesian Muslims" want the current system (including Pancasila and NKRI) to be replaced by the ideology and khilafah of HTI version. In other words, the stage of accepting / grasping the power of HTI is synonymous with the "coup" or "social revolution", which almost certainly will coincide with the occurrence of bloodshed.
Identifying the stages of receiving / grabbing the power of HTI with the "coup" is not an exaggeration. When referring to Samuel Huntington's opinion, the coup can be divided into three classes in which one of them is a veto coup. According to Huntington, the veto coup was conducted through the participation and social mobilization of a mass of people in large-scale emphasis. The definition is also quite relevant when associated with the stages of receiving / grabbing power HTI.
The relevance lies in the reliance of participation and social mobilization in large numbers. As is commonly known, the main purpose of HTI's da'wah to Muslims is to gather as many masses as possible to support HTI in reaching their grandgoals.
Then, Huntington's opinion above is corroborated by Endang Turmudi in his work "Islam and Radicalism in Indonesia" that in a sociological perspective, there are at least 3 symptoms that can be identified from the idea of radicalism: first, responding to the socio-political and economic conditions that are occurring within Form of resistance and resistance. Especially aspects of ideas and institutions that are considered contrary to his beliefs.
Second, from rejection continues to coercion of the will to change the state fundamentally toward the worldview and the attributes of thinking affiliated to certain values.
Third, it reinforces the joints of beliefs about ideological truths that are believed to be superior to others.
In turn, this attitude of truthclaim culminates in the attitude of disclaimers and the interpenetration of other systems.
To encourage this effort, there is a mass involvement labeled on behalf of the people or people who are expressed emotionally-aggressively.
Again, this opinion also has considerable relevance to the series of da'wah methods undertaken by HTI.
Political observers Gun Gun Heryanto and Professor of Politics, University of Indonesia Iberamsjah also gave a similar opinion. According to the two experts, there are at least five conditions that can support the success of a coup d'etat. Among these, 1) the existence of a common enemy; 2) friction in the military; 3) political power; 4) mystification of issues by elite figures; And 5) foreign infiltration. Of the five conditions, there are at least three conditions that have been attempted to be exploited by HTI. First, HTI from its inception has attempted to form an opinion of "common enemy" in the eyes of Indonesian Muslims.
The "common enemy" in question is a system of democracy and liberalism that "practiced" by the government. Thus, indirectly the Indonesian government today also categorized as a "common enemy" earlier.
Meanwhile, the second condition that has been pursued by HTI is to raise political power by relying on Islamic ideology as a media campaign. This rally is generally done to the clerics and public figures who are considered potential in raising the masses.
The third condition, namely the existence of foreign infiltration, is something that is unquestionable considering HTI is part of a transnational organization that has existed in various other parts of the world. In other words, foreign interference is definitely present in every maneuver by HTI.
Do not just get there. The possibility of a potential "coup attempt" by the HTI is corroborated by the fact that HizbutTahrir was able to commit various coups in a number of other countries. Referring to NasyrahHizbutTahrir, translated from the book Mafhum al Is alIjtima'iyah, Beirut, print II, 1991, pages 140-151, and p. 266-267, it is written that "HizbutTahrir has launched several attempts to take over power in many Arab countries, such as Jordan in 1969, in Egypt in 1973 and in 1972. Also in Tunisia, Algeria and Sudan.
Some of the coup attempt was officially announced by the mass media, while others were deliberately not announced. "Thus, it is clear that identifying the stage of accepting or grabbing HTI power with a coup is not a mere assumption.
Therefore, we still doubt the existence of "threat" from the existence of HTI to NKRI? It may be that the suspicions above seem exaggerated. However, it is undeniable that the stage of the political movement by HTI has a tendency that corresponds to Oliver Roy's statement in the words "Who Are The New Jihadists".
In the paper, Oliver Roy states that "many revivalist groups use the mode of Islamization of radicalism as a means of gaining power and seizing social influence among society." Thus, the government's move to dissolve HTI is a preventive measure aimed at preventing harm that could have been raised by HTI to this nation and country in the future. Have not we been taught that "better to prevent than to cure?"
