serangan-serangan kelompok "preman bersorban" makin jelas menampakkan, bahwa mereka anti-Bhineka Tunggal Ika/keberagaman.
ketika melakukan aksi-aksi kebenciannya itu selalu diiringi dengan kekerasan fisik seraya meneriakkan "Allahu-Akbar".
Pemicikan dan penularan faham Xenofobia-Bigotri menunjukkan dekadensi dan degradasi dalam humanitas.
KASIHAN mereka, karena mereka tidak tahu kalau mereka menjadi manusia terpicikkan.
Salam Prihatin

Muslim Hard-Liners in Central Java Attack Shadow Puppet Shows
Candra Malik | October 14, 2010
Sukoharjo, Central Java. First it was churches and a minority Islamic sect, then
the gay community and a former Playboy editor. Now the country's much-derided
Muslim hard-liners are reportedly targeting one of its most beloved icons:
Wayang.
Ki Slamet Gundono, a world-renowned dalang (puppet master) for the traditional
Javanese shadow puppetry, on Wednesday said hard-liners in Sukoharjo, a town
south of Solo, had broken up several performances in the area.
"A bunch of youths calling themselves Laskar Jihad [warriors of jihad] attacked
a wayang performance taking place in Sembung Wetan village in Sukoharjo on
Saturday night," he said.
"They threatened members of the audience and forced them to disperse. "We
strongly condemn this violence," he added.
Gundono said he only recently learned about the incident from fellow wayang
practitioners who were afraid to report it to police.
"We have decided to take a united stand to protect the arts and culture against
violent acts by any group," he said, adding people should not be afraid to hold
future performances.
Joko Ngadimin, founder of Sekarjagad, a wayang and gamelan music troupe, said
several similar attacks had occurred before.
"The latest incident on Saturday happened near my house," he told the Globe.
"Two people were injured and the performance was forced to stop. The attackers
from Laskar Jihad were throwing rocks and brandishing swords."
He added the attackers all wore turbans and kept yelling " Allahu Akbar! " ("God
is great!") while running amok.
Joko said the attacks were usually carried out during smaller weekend
performances.
"These rioters only seem to disrupt wayang performances on the weekend," he
said. "But they haven't dared break up any by a senior dalang."
Saturday's attack took place at the home of Ripto Anto Mulyono, a maker of
gamelan instruments in Sembung Wetan village. Ripto had invited dalang Ki Agung
Nugraha Sukresna to perform at his house as part of a family celebration.
"He asked me to perform there because his son, Rahmat Nugroho, had just passed
the test to get into the civil service," Sukresna said.
He added none of the performers or musicians had been hurt in the attack.
"At first I didn't know who was attacking us because I had been working the
wayang behind the screen," he said. "Then, in an instant, the melee moved really
close to the screen."
Separately, Comr. Sukiryono, chief of detectives at the Sukoharjo Police, said
he had not received any reports of Saturday's attack and was unaware of the
incident. "However, we'll promptly follow up on this information," he said.
Witnesses said the attackers might have been provoked by the fact audience
members were drinking alcohol during the shows, which can run from early evening
until dawn.
Ki Manteb Sudarsono, another world-renowned dalang, condemned the attack and
called on all wayang practitioners to stand together in a show of defiance
against the attackers.
"I've never experienced such an incident, but violence seems to be disrupting
our tranquility more and more," he said.
"The government and police should act to resolve such cases."
