Terrorists In New Zealand Forgot The History Of Their Country Of Origin

The brutal events in New Zealand which killed 49 people confirmed that Bung Karno's popular expression of not forgetting history or 'Jasmerah' could not be taken lightly. It turns out that the meaning and psychological impact is enormous.

Because, the lack of space for knowledge of the history of the nation itself, it is feared that it will then be filled with false historical knowledge, giving rise to erroneous understanding and ultimately doing very bad things. Like the case of terrorism, the murder of a congregation of two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand.

In the brutal action of the manifesto, terrorists have a deep hatred of the immigrants he calls the invaders.

Even though the terrorist is Australian and his race is an immigrant who colonizes Australian land from his native Aboriginal population and he himself in New Zealand is an immigrant.

In the Indonesian context, it was revealed that there was also a phenomenon of the lack of historical knowledge about who were the elements of the nation that formed a saving country. Among other things the phenomenon of Islamophobia.

Islamophobia arises because of a false understanding, as if there was no role for Muslims as one of the great elements of this nation in these important histories.

Islamophobia is also unilateral, labeling the great activities of the ummah as radical, anti-state.

"Even if you look at history correctly, you will get gold ink in the history of the nation about the tolerance of Muslims in various historical events.

In fact, it was revealed that the progress of Muslims reached simple things but had a major impact, namely creating songs of struggle that were always sung until now.

On the contrary, it also reminded Muslims to also really understand the history of the nation and state. Do not ever have Muslims who bid''''''''be even to forgive. The legacy of the struggle of ulama, kyai, habaib both in Islamic organizations and parties.

"In essence, I emphasize once again, do not ever forget that the whole nation forgets the history of the nation itself.
