Everyone unconsciously believe that there is an omnipotent power that create universe and rule the time. Scientist called it 'physical properties of Universe to create themselves' (Stephen Hawking), ignorant called it destiny, and religious people define it God. All of them only refer to one power, it just the matter of perception. Religious people define their fear to natural power as God's power to create order in society, to persuade people to do kindness. If there's only one power that called God, Why there are so many religions existed now?
Thousands years back then, many people try to interpret That power to give tangible definition of value that "God wanted to say". Muhammad define that value as Islam, Jesus define it as Christian, Siddhartha Gautama define it as Buddhist and other figures define it as their own interpretation of God. They claim God has spoken to them, and order human to be good to each other. Even inside one religion, there's different perspective and apart into several specific groups. Islam has Sunni, Syiah, Wahabi, Suffi, Salaf and other countless grous even Ahmadiyah or LDII. Christian has Catholic, Protestant, Evangelist, etc. Why they are has different groups? because hundred years ago they followed interpretation of their own leaders about right and wrong concept. What i'm trying to say? I just said that actually religion and ritual that we believe in right now was just how our ancestor interpret 'what God want' and 'the right ritual'. When someone try to giving new paradigm or interpretation about God today, they'll labeled as 'Kafir' or 'Satanic religion' even the difference justin the matter of time, past was true and present is wrong.
I actually don't want to justify Ahmadiyah existence nor other 'new religion', but what I'm trying to say is do they do a crime? do they defile your religion? How? Or you have defile your own religion by killing those 'satanic people'? I don't understand how people could end their relationship with their siblings who have changed their religion but justifying murdering of 'kafir' who didn't even lay a tip of finger to them.
Basically Religion teach 2 things :
1. Maintaining individual relationship to God.
according to my explanation before, People have different way to feel close to God. some people feel it in Shalat, some people feel it in Singing, the other feel it in meditation. Everyone has personal way to feel close to God with their own Way. We shouldn't judge other's ritual because it is personal as long as it isn't violate other's right. Your relationship to God won't be distracted by other's ritual, because God and you have personal channel.
2. Maintaining inter-human relationship.
This thing might have been abandoned by some extremist people. Your religion might be everything, but you shouldn't backlash your own religion value. For Moslem in Indonesia, I wanna ask: Have you do what Muhammad do in his era? I don't ask what he did as a leader, but I ask what he did as a human. He didn't attack Jews before he have been attacked. He is defensive person who know war is only last resort. As a leader he lived in harmony society. In his society there was Jews and Christian. Those religion weren't forced to revert their religion to Islam. They also allowed to have their own house of worship. But now, people have wrong focus. Try to make their religion as the most superior one. They want to have more followers for political reason: to dominate the other.
What they called "care" is when they try to stop other people action that's not suitable with their value, to stop 'kafir' thingy on their own opinion. But don't you think those "care" resulted in conflict? Look how people that claim they are right murdering 'kafir people' as if they are not human? look how FPI burns everything to stop maksiat thingy?
They are just too scare of they can't hold their value anymore. because those value isn't really well internalized by themselves.
I choose Islam because i think personally it is true. I pray to my own God and try to maintain relationship to other human with humane way. If you have different paradigm, just try to tolerate the others
