(Warning: Strong Languages and rants ahead)
First of all, I have to say that I’m writing this while feeling a little bit under the clouds (relax. It’s not that goddamn virus. Probably just a little fatigue). When I first encounter the news about a plan to bring back around 600 former ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) members who happened to be of Indonesian nationality, I had my doubts on how these men and women (and children) are planned to be reintegrated to the society. At the time, the government was still determining the best possible options for the ordeal, even went as far as activating the deradicalization program once those 600 are back on home soil. But this morning when I wake up (still a bit tired), the news broke out: The Indonesian government has come to an agreement to NOT bring back 600 (former) Indonesian citizens. And my first-time reaction for this? Good. Fucking. Riddance.
I did mention in my previous piece about how an ideology, once it has been planted to someone’s conscience all the way to their sub-conscious, then it is borderline impossible to perform a deradicalization process on said person. And apparently, this is one of the concerns voiced by not only the masses, but also political figures themselves. When the bill was announced, Coordinating Minister for Politics, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD reasoned that this move is to prevent new “viruses” (ideologically) from entering the island Nation. And this is consistent with the Indonesian constitution, mainly the Decree No. 12/2006 about the Citizenship of the Republic of Indonesia (The bill is in Indonesian). Another base used for this particular reasoning is the Decree No. 6/2011 about Immigration, which is also in Indonesian (there is a verse on that bill that allows the minister in charge to prevent specific person or group from entering the country. One of the main reasons this can be done is whether that individual has been involved in an organized trans-national crime, which includes terrorism).
When we trace back stories of their notorieties, I guess the move to leave those same deranged minds that leave the safety of Indonesia to join what can be described as the most dangerous terrorist organization in the world (whether willingly or forcefully, even the latter categories should be consider as an accomplice, although not completely exposed) is right on the money. One of the stories that still lingers to me personally is the 2018 Surabaya attacks targeting three churches in the East Javanese capital, the Sidoarjo Regency, and the Surabaya Police Headquarters, carried out by three families with corrupted ideologies. This was also the first instance (according to the Indonesian National Police) where a terrorist used his own family as co-participants of a terror attack. What makes me sick to the stomach is all the children that were involved as suicide bombers are around the age of 8-18 years. In an even more sickening turn of events, some jackasses began to accuse the government and the Police Force that the attack was a false flag. Some of them even went as fa r as saying that the government itself orchestrated the attack as a false flag. One asshole from the 212 Guard (These guys again? Give me a break) even stated that the terrorists were innocent; and should not be blamed. He also stated that the attack was deemed as a false flag made to suppress those who are against the sitting government and demanding new president. Before the Surabaya attacks took place, in Depok, West Java, there was a 3-day long standoff at the Mobile Brigade Corp’s Headquarters between the police’s Detachment 88 Counter-Terrorism Force and roughly 155 inmates, all of them are convicted to terrorism. Five brave policemen lost their lives at that fateful three days, as well as one terrorist who met his well-deserved end by a headshot. At the time, many Indonesians are worried, because that was the same place where former Jakarta Capital Governor Basuki Tjahja Purnama served his prison sentence for (alleged) religious blasphemy. But why so, you may ask. The reason was if the inmates were crazy enough, some of them would attack him as well.
I guess what Minister Mahfud MD said earlier is relevant. Just imaging one day in a peaceful community, a former ISIS fighter who went through deradicalization actually influenced (brainwashed) his neighbors to join his “jihad” (by that, I mean mass, unadulterated genocide), and ended up blowing himself up inside a shopping mall, with follow-up attacks at various public places, even police stations. Few who weren’t involve in that attack might started to post sympathy to those who blew themselves to pieces, rather than their victims. No matter how hard or intense those programs may be, those misleading values won’t simply be forgotten. In the end, the main goal these fuckers had in mind is to change the state ideology from the more celebrated Pancasila (means the five principles) to the stricter version of the Islamic Sharia Law. Although being a Muslim myself, I can’t seem to imagine living my daily lives under complete control of ISIS’ version of an Islamic regime, where killing those who are said to be against Islam (whether non-Muslims or fellow Muslims with different opinions) is not only permissible, but rather encouraged. I don’t want to be that type of idiot that always sugarcoating everything with religious values (I have to stress one thing. I am not encouraging you all to not study your own religion. But please, if you want to do it, don’t just took one verse blindly without taking it to a proper context or situations You have to fully understand your own holy book). Hell, If I ever met one of those guys, the only thing that they will get from me is a police report and a kick in the nuts. And I haven’t even mention what these bone-headed jackasses done to the women. Those same “brave men” (I refer those guys as horny beasts who can’t even control their own boners) actually raped women in their captivity. They are also sold as slaves, either for labor or as a living sex doll (you read this right, no one is messing with your eyes). And what did I say about children being involved in a terror attack? Don’t let those smiles fool you for one bit. They might be children, but they were actually taught by ISIS about warfare, and mostly how to kill someone either at far or point-blank range. There is even a video surfaced on various social media platforms of children of various nationalities burned their own passports (this effectively nullifies their own citizenship; the Indonesian citizenship bill also recognizes this).
And to end this rant (not exactly one, I guess), I have to say that after days of consolidation, what President Jokowi said as a personal statement has finally come to reality. Roughly 600 ex-Indonesian citizens who pledged their allegiance to the Islamic State are not coming back to this 18.000 island clusters. This was their own choice to make, and by doing so, denouncing their own citizenship. Now that this is sorted out, those same number of individuals are now awaiting trial for the crime of Terrorism. And I believe the Syrian government still institutes death penalty by hanging. As I said earlier at the top of this piece, Good. Fucking. Riddance. Now leave us alone and don’t ever come back and spread those toxic values. We don’t want our fragile minds and delicate brains to be polluted with those trash you call “true Islamic values”. For us, it’s just terror propaganda sugarcoated by religion.
