Bayu Kusuma, Social and Political Observer in Cersia, Jakarta
Takbir's voice echoed from thousands of pilgrims attending halal bi halal at the grounds of Pondok Pesantren Modern Al-Ishlah, Bondowoso District, East Java Province on Sunday, July 23, 2017. Responding as well as answering the dynamics of the life of the nation lately, with the spirit of the Action of Bela Islam 212, Modern Islamic Boarding School Al-Ishlah Bondowoso along with the National Movement Fatwa Guard (GNPF) MUI and the East Java Islamic Movement (GUIB Jatim) held Halal bi Halal and National Silaturahim.
Halal bi halal with the theme of "Strengthening Ukhuwah, Merekatkan Bangsa, Upholding Pancasila Sovereignty" was attended by National Figures such as Salim Segaf Al-Jufri (Chairman of Majelis Syuro PKS), Zulkifli Hasan (Chairman of People's Consultative Assembly), Prof.Dr.HM Amien Rais (Dewan Suro PAN), Prabowo Subianto (Chairman of the Board of Trustees of DPP Gerindra), Hashim Djojohadiku (Adik Prabowo Subianto) and Bachtiar Nasir, Lc, MM (Chairman of GNPF-MUI).
Through these activities, Founder of PP Al-Ishlah Bondowoso, KH. Maksum invites all Muslims in particular and all elements of the nation in general, to reinvigorate the important discourse to strengthen friendship and rope fraternity. That is, in the form of Ishlah National, both among Muslims themselves as well as national brotherhood.
This is to answer the various problems of the nation, especially in terms of upholding the sovereignty of Pancasila. Secondly, to urge the government to reposition the Muslim ummah, especially the ulama as part of the elements that fought for the sovereignty of Indonesia, and not to create demarcation discourse between Islam and Pancasila.
Third, to encourage the state security especially the Police of the Republic of Indonesia to enforce the law that fulfills the principles of Islam, The principle of justice and not dragged into the turbulent political currents.
Fourth, appealed to all parties in order not to produce provocative discourse that can pit against the Muslims, as well as bumping Muslims with other religious communities.
By inflating the spirit of relationship 212, Founder of PP Al-Ishlah Bondowoso, KH. Maksum invites all Jemaah to prove that alumni 212 is not intolerance. The martial spirit of Islam is not acting outside the law, but maintaining the sovereignty of Pancasila and upholding Bhinneka Tunggal Ika.
Efouria spirit 212 was not free from the action of the National Movement Fatwa Guard (GNPF) MUI which became known by the wider community when doing a consolidation Akbar related to allegations of religious blasphemy committed by the Governor of Jakarta, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama alias Ahok. A series of action titled QS Al-Maidah verse 51 guided by the GNPF-MUI started from the Islamic Defense Action which took place on October 14, 2016, ABI-II (411), AB-III (212), Tabligh Akbar 901 until shubuh movement in congregation. Almost every month of action or mass gathering is always done on behalf of GNPF-MUI.
Not to mention the various viral messages in social media distributed by volunteers carrying the name GNPF-MUI.
Although Ahok's case has been decided and convicted with a sentence of 2 years in prison. But the high-ranking GNPF MUI seems to still have bargaining politics to the national scene, including a meeting initiated by President Joko Widodo on the day of Eid 1438 H. The meeting, which was held on the day of victory of the Muslims it was very warm because still in an atmosphere Lebaran.Meskipun During this GNPF MUI known to intensively criticize the Government, especially to President Joko Widodo who is considered not to be firm in solving legal cases involving Ahok. However, the meeting between President Jokowi and GNPF-MUI seemed suddenly caused a devastating effect.
A lot of speculation about this meeting. Some say this is the GNPF-MUI strategy for its existence to be recognized by the Government and for the Government to close Rizieq's case.
There is also an interesting issue of this meeting, where there is no communication between GNPF-MUI and Amien Rais and the Chairman of Alumni 212 when it comes to meeting the President.
In fact, the GNPF MUI meeting with the President at the Presidential Palace invited reaction and criticism from alumni 212 who did not approve the meeting. This is interesting because so far they are so compact to defend Rizieq. While known Amien Rais called the Chairman of Alumni Presidium 212, Ansufri Idrus Sambo to his residence in Yogyakarta.
Further, the mass mobilization of dozens of people on behalf of the Presidium of the Alumni 212 K. Sambo led Ansufri staged a walk to the National Human Rights Commission on Friday July 14th 2017 voice demands condemns injustice against Hermansyah (IT expert who was a witness Expert Chat Habib Rizieq engineering cases), rejects Perppu dissolution of CSOs No.02 in 2017 as opposed to 1945 and violating human rights and reject the dissolution of HTI and other Islamic organizations.
In this action the masses reject the form of criminalization of Hary Taonesoedibjo (Party Chairman Perindo), because they thought as a victim of criminalization and injustice Government for designation as a suspect by the Criminal Investigation Police in an alleged threat by text message to Yulianto, who served as Subdirektorat Investigator Deputy Attorney General for Criminal Special.
But coordinated action Ansufri Idrus Samba did not seem to have the blessing of Chairman GNPF MUI Bachtiar Nasir and he also admitted not knowing the meeting between Amien Rais with Ansufri Idrus Sambo.
A political difference of opinion among senior figures 212 and GNPF Alumni MUI seems inevitable.
Ansufri Idrus Sambo as Chairman of the Presidium of the Alumni 212 could not hide the disappointment and feel like less is considered by GNPF MUI, primarily related to a meeting with President Jokowi unknown herself, so mengagas action to keep the name of Spirit 212. Not to mention, the existence of Habib Rizieq Shihab also Board GNPF-MUI coach who until now has not been willing to return to Indonesia because they feel have been criminalized.
While based on the theory of the dynamics of group formation in human life is a manifestation of human nature (socialization) as a social being.
The formation of a group does not have to start with a crowd. A group may soon occur, ie when before people concerned gathered notified in advance to those objectives to be achieved. Factors that cause the group, among others, the interaction between people who are in a collection or a crowd, emotional ties as a statement of togetherness, Goal or common interest to be achieved.
Leadership is adhered to in order to achieve common goals or interests. Norms recognized and followed by those involved.
From the factors of group occurrence, the existence of GNPF-MUI and Alumni Presidium 212 tends to lead to a break up of the partnership. That is because, the interaction that is in the collection of GNPF-MUI has been mutual dissent. Emotional bond as a statement of togetherness has begun to erode.
The purpose of common interest to be achieved even seemed to have rivalry. This is evident from the criticism from the Alumni 212 Presidium related to the GNPF-MUI meeting with the President.
Another factor, GNPF-MUI and Alumni Presidium 212 as ducklings lose their mothers. Given the leadership that is adhered to at this time was not willing to return to Indonesia, because it is still in Saudi Arabia.
The condition of the outbreak did not go into the political sphere, when the Alumni Presidium 212 voiced refusal of the form of criminalization against Hary Taonesoedibjo (Chairman of Perindo Party), while GNPF-MUI in one activity together with Prabowo Subianto (Chairman of DPP Board Gerindra) attended halal Bi halal at Pondok Pesantren Modern Al-Ishlah, Bondowoso District, still on behalf of GNPF-MUI Spirit 212.
The GNPF officials currently have a bargaining position in the national political contest arena and the movement space of GNPF MUI also tend to have been not on its "breed" as the fatwa guard movement.
GNPF MUI began to openly open up the wings in the national politics circle, while still on behalf of the Muslim Ummah's interest with GNPF as a locomotive of struggle.
Is it possible that GNPF latah becomes a Political Party or used as a political movement machine ahead of democracy party in 2019. Where the direction of the real GNPF-MUI is?
