Al Jazeera's Abdel Hamid said there was no clear information on who started the overnight violence, with each side accusing the other of starting the clashes.

"After the minister of interior spoke, both sides decided they will believe the versions they want to believe, so at the end of the day the full picture will never really emerge of who started shooting on who."

If the death toll of 120 is confirmed it would be the deadliest incident since Morsi was deposed by the army more than three weeks ago.

Gihad El-Haddad, the spokesperson for Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood told Al Jazeera late on Saturday night that his group was considering a proposal made by a group of Egyptian intellectuals and civil society activists to resolve the crisis, but that there was "no meeting ground" with the military.

"There is no meeting ground. This is a zero-sum equation. It's either us or them in the equation. It's either we fully reverse this military coup, and continue back into constitutional legitimacy, or we die trying and they continue building a new military tyrannical regime. Like we've seen. [...] This is the beginning of a new military [dictatorship] in Egypt, even if a few civilian faces are slapped on top of it," he said.

Perang Saudara mirip yang terjadi di Suriah ancam juga Mesir..

Perang Saudara yang kini telah menelan korban sipil ratusan ribu orang yang telah terjadi akibat konflik antara rejim militer yang didukung kelompok sekuler dan syiah kelompok rejim Presiden Assad melawan kelompok oposisi Sunni yang kini mulai dipasok senjata dari Arab Saudi yang membelinya dari Israel, kini juga mengancam Mesir.

Konflik perang saudara semakin mengancam Mesir setelah penguasa militer Mesir meminta kelompok oposisi yang didukung kelompok sekuler dan non-Muslim diminta turun ke jalan berdemonstrasi untuk meminta legitimasi dari Rakyat.

Sementara esbagian besar dari 300 orang yang tewas di jalan-jalan di Mesir adalah kelompok pendukung presiden yang terpilih secara semokratis Mursi yang kini dugulingkan militer melalui kudeta. Sebagian besar mereka yang tewas akibat diterjang peluru du kepala oleh tentara yang menekan para demonstran menentang kudeta yang jumlahnya semakin meningkat di seluruh kota di Mesir.

Konflik politik di Mesir semakin panas seiring bentrokan yang terus terjadi antara kedua kubu, penentang dan pendukung Mohammed Mursi. Dilaporkan, jumlah korban meroket dalam semalam sejak aksi protes massa dari kedua kubu dimulai pada Jumat siang waktu setempat.

Diberitakan CNN, Sabtu 27 Juli 2013, laporan kantor berita MENA yang mengutip tim medis, korban tewas sejak Jumat hingga hari ini telah mencapai 75 orang di Mesir. Sementara itu, lebih dari 1.000 orang terluka dalam bentrok antara massa pro-Mursi dengan polisi di Nasr City, Kairo.

Di Nasr City yang telah jadi tempat pendudukan Ikhwanul Muslimin sebanyak 10 orang tewas. Ikhwanul Muslimin menuduh polisi telah menggunakan peluru tajam dalam menyerang mereka.
Bentrokan antara massa pro-Mursi dengan aparat juga terjadi di Jembatan 6 Oktober di Sungai Nil. Menurut saksi mata, di tempat ini aparat bersama dengan massa anti-Mursi bersatu menggempur Ikhwanul Muslimin. Gas air mata terus melayang ke arah gerombolan massa.

Kelompok anti Mursi turun ke jalan setelah mendapatkan lampu hijau dari pemimpin militer Mesir Abdel Fattah El-Sisi pada Rabu. Dia menyerukan rakyat untuk menggelar protes dan mendukung militer dalam menggempur kekerasan dan terorisme pasca penggulingan Mursi.

Mereka berkumpul di Kairo dan Alexandria. Jutaan massa pendukung militer berkumpul di Tahrir Square. Helikopter militer di atasnya menyebarkan leaflet dan bendera Mesir semakin membakar semangat juang penolakan terhadap Mursi dan Ikhwanul Muslimin.

Aksi besar Ikhwanul Muslimin digelar Jumat setelah Mursi divonis 15 hari penjara karena dituduh bekerja sama dengan Hamas. Mursi juga dituduh membobol penjara pasca revolusi Mesir dan membantu kaburnya banyak tahanan.
Sebelumnya, Jenderal Abdel Fattah El-Sisi telah memberikan ultimatum 48 jam untuk Ikhwanul Muslimin agar bergabung dalam peta politik Mesir. Namun hingga tenggat waktu Sabtu ini, belum ada respon dari Ikhwanul Muslimin.

Pengadilan Mesir mengeluarkan perintah untuk menahan mantan Presiden Muhammad Mursi selama 15 hari sambil menunggu hasil penyelidikan tuduhan yang menyebut dia menjadi mata-mata bagi kelompok militan Hamas.
Selain itu, menurut laporan kantor berita pemerintah, MENA, Mursi juga dianggap ikut membantu pembobolan penjara dalam peristiwa pemberontakan yang menggulingkan mantan Presiden Hosni Mubarak.

Stasiun berita Al Jazeera, Jumat 26 Juli 2013 melansir keputusan itu dikeluarkan oleh pengadilan pada hari ini. Menurut informasi dari pejabat berwenang, keputusan itu diambil oleh Hakim Hassan Sammir, yang menyelidiki tuduhan terhadap Mursi.

Laporan itu muncul saat pendukung dan penentang Mursi tengah bersiap untuk menggelar unjuk rasa besar-besaran nasional sesuai seruan Panglima Militer dan Menteri Pertahanan sementara Mesir, Jenderal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. Di waktu yang bersamaan kelompok Ikhwanul Muslimin (IM) juga menyerukan hal yang sama demi memperjuangan masa depan Mesir.

Namun hingga saat ini keberadaan Mursi masih belum diketahui. Banyak pihak menduga dia ditahan di markas Garda Republik. Juru bicara Kemlu, Badr Abdel-Atti pada tanggal 10 Juli lalu memang telah mengkonfirmasi bahwa Mursi kini berada di tempat yang aman dan diperlakukan secara baik.

Menanggapi keputusan pengadilan itu, juru bicara kelompok IM, Gehad El-Haddad, mengatakan bahwa Mesir sudah mulai kembali ke rezim lama ketika diperintah Mubarak.

"Tuduhan itu dibacakan seolah mereka merupakan pembalasan dendam dari rezim lama," ungkap El-Haddad.

Keputusan pengadilan itu merupakan lanjutan dari peryataan bulan lalu yang menyebut kelompok IM bekerja sama dengan kelompok Hamas dan Hizbullah untuk menyerbu penjara Wadi el-Natroun tahun 2011 silam. Saat itu sebanyak 34 anggota tinggi kelomok IM termasuk mantan Presiden Mursi berhasil dikeluarkan dari penjara.

Panglima militer merangkap Menteri Pertahanan kabinet sementara Mesir, Jenderal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, menyerukan kepada para pendukung militer untuk turun ke jalan dan berdemonstrasi secara besar-besaran pada Jumat esok. Namun Sisi membantah seruannya itu merupakan ajakan kepada rakyat Mesir untuk melakukan tindak kekerasan.

Menurut dia, seruan itu lebih ke arah dukungan untuk upaya rekonsiliasi nasional. Stasiun berita Al Jazeera, Kamis 25 Juli, 2013 melansir Sisi menyerukan hal tersebut dalam sebuah pidato pada Rabu kemarin di hadapan para lulusan militer.

"Saya meminta untuk aksi hari Jumat esok, seluruh warga Mesir yang jujur dan dapat dipercaya untuk berpartisipasi. Mengapa Anda harus ikut serta? Mereka ke luar untuk memberikan saya mandat dan perintah, saya harus melawan tindak kekerasan dan aksi potensial terorisme," ungkap Sisi yang disiarkan langsung oleh media pemerintah.

Dalam kesempatan itu, dia turut membantah tuduhan yang menyatakan dirinya telah berkhianat terhadap mantan Presiden terguling, Mohammed Mursi yang dia jungkalkan tanggal 3 Juli kemarin. Dia juga mengatakan hingga saat ini pihak militer masih tetap solid dan tidak seperti yang diisukan telah terpecah.

"Saya bersumpah di hadapan Tuhan, bahwa militer Mesir masih tetap kompak dan solid," ujarnya.

Seruan serupa juga disampaikan oleh penasihat media Presiden Adly Mansour, Ahmed Al-Meslemani. Dia meminta warga Mesir untuk melindungi legitimasi revolusi dan mendukung upaya perlawan terhadap tindak terorisme.

Tanggapan Ikhwanul

Menanggapi seruan Sisi, anggota senior Kelompok Ikhawanul Muslimin Essam al-Erian, mengeluarkan pernyataan yang langsung ditujukan kepada pihak militer. Dia mengatakan ancaman Sisi tidak lantas mematikan perjuangan mereka.

"Ancaman Anda tidak akan menghentikan unjuk rasa melawan kudeta ini. Anda selalu berada di kantor untuk merancang konspirasi," ujar al-Erian.

Di mata kelompok IM seruan Sisi tidak lebih dari pengumuman adanya perang sipil. Oleh sebab itu dalam sebuah jumpa wartawan, kelompok Islamis dari oposisi meminta agar Sisi segera diadili atas kejahatan kemanusiaan.

"Seruan untuk aksi hari Jumat besok jelas merupakan pengumuman adanya perang sipil," kata perwakilan kelompok IM.

Sementara di mata anggota senior IM lainnya, Mohamed el-Beltagy, aksi hari Jumat esok dilakukan Sisi tidak lebih untuk melindungi kudeta militer yang telah dia lakukan. Dia juga mengatakan bahwa dengan adanya seruan hari Rabu kemarin menjadi bukti bahwa dia lah sesungguhnya pemimpin negeri ini dan bukan Presiden Mansour.

"Dia membuktikan diri sebagai pemimpin yang sesungguhnya. Presiden, Wapres dan pemerintahan yang saat ini berkuasa tidak memiliki kekuasaan apa pun," imbuhnya seperti dikutip stasiun berita BBC.

Sementara di tempat terpisah sekitar 10 ribu pendukung Mursi masih berkumpul di kota Nasr, pada Kamis ini dan menuntut kursi kepresidenan dikembalikan kepada Mursi. Sejak peristiwa tergulingnya Mursi, sekitar 100 warga Mesir dilaporkan tewas dalam berbagai aksi unjuk rasa.

Pemerintah Indonesia, melalui Kementerian Luar Negeri, mengeluarkan peringatan khusus, travel advisory, bagi Warga Negara Indonesia (WNI). Mereka diminta untuk sementara waktu tidak berkunjung ke Mesir kecuali ada keperluan mendesak. Keputusan itu diambil setelah memperhatikan bahwa gejolak politik di Mesir sejak pergantian kepemimpinan belum juga mereda hingga hari ini.

Hal itu mendorong terjadinya berbagai unjuk rasa di berbagai wilayah khususnya di ibukota Kairo yang telah memakan banyak korban jiwa di kalangan warga Mesir. Demikian pernyataan tertulis Menteri Luar Negeri Marty Natalegawa yang diterima VIVAnews, Kamis 25 Juli 2013.

Menlu meminta agar seluruh WNI menunda perjalanan ke Mesir, khususnya ke wilayah Semenanjung Sinai, hingga situasi kemanan kembali stabil. Sementara pada hari Jumat besok, Menteri Pertahanan Mesir di kabinet transisi, Jenderal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, menyerukan kepada para pendukung militer untuk turun ke jalan dan berdemonstrasi besar-besaran pada Jumat esok.

Masjid Al Haram – Mataf Expansion Project

The proposition of a project to increase the capacity of the mataf was shown to King Abdullah in Ramadhan 1432 Hijri who directed to start implementing it.

-King Abdullah assigned the Ministry of Higher Education, General Authority of Masjid al Haram and Masjid al Nabawi and Saudi Bin Laden Group (Working team) to finish the studies on developing the proposed solution.

-The working team recommended a number of studies which were presented to King Abdullah, as follows:

Studies regarding air movement in Mataf Expansion and First Saudi Expansion.

Studies regarding the building structure of the First Saudi Expansion.

Studies regarding Automated systems for Tawaf and Sa’ee for people with special needs.

Studies regarding systems for shading the new mataf and the roof of Haram.

Studies regarding crowd movement through an integrated system beginning from outside Masjid-al-Haram and the areas surrounding it.

-King Abdullah ordered that these recommended studies be conducted urgently.

-The proposed design was shown to the Supreme Hajj Committee after the Hajj Season of 1432H and they ordered to conduct studies regarding increasing the width of the
Mataf with repititive floors and studies regarding re-building the structure of the First Saudi Expansion.

-The team of Ministry of Higher Education and General Authority of Masjid-al-Haram and Masjid-al-Nabawi arranged a work shop with the Security forces in the month of
Rabi-ul-awwal 1433H to inform them about the proposed design and to take their opinion and to find out their demands.

-The meetings of the working team continued in order to develop the proposed solution including the observations and recommendations of the security forces. Some of
the important observations which were taken into account are:
Studying and assessing of the structural system of the First Saudi Expansion.

Paying attention to crowd movement and fragmentation of human blocks inside and outside Masjid-al-Haram.

To Facilitate the entry and exit movement in the entrances of the Masjid al Haram building so as to provide safety and security to the visitors.

Rp 55 trillion funds management Hajj Indonesian Muslims fell on Islamic banking.

Rp 55 trillion funds management Hajj Indonesian Muslims fell on Islamic banking.



Stakeholders need to be convinced that Islamic banks are able to manage funds Haj Rp 55 trillion.

JAKARTA - The transfer of funds Haj to Islamic banking is a new breakthrough by the Director General of the Implementation of Hajj and Umrah (PHU) of the Ministry of Religious Affairs this year.

No half-hearted about Rp 55 trillion funds management Hajj Indonesian Muslims fell on Islamic banking.

Therefore, DG PHU Anggito Abhimanyu rate, need for intensive socialization in banking that has been given authority to manage funds Haj and also dissemination to other stakeholders, such as Hajj and Umrah travel agencies, including academics concerned with issues pilgrimage and Umrah.
'' We see the need to provide funds Haj transparency to stakeholders in accordance with Islamic principles,'' said Anggito Reuters in an interview in his office, Tuesday (23/7).

During this time, according to him, socialization among economists is still not enough, while the source of funds Haj this very much.

Including an understanding of how Islamic banks can utilize the funds productively great pilgrimage in accordance with the rules of Islamic and Religious Affairs.

He said that the meeting of the Islamic Finance Seminar Prospects and Challenges of Hajj Fund Management which was held on Thursday (25/7), at the Hotel Borobudur, by the Indonesian Economists Association (ISEI) and Republika is a good move as the comprehensive socialization container.

He wished there were more related to knowledge management policy which authorized funds Haj to Islamic banking.

With this seminar, it is expected more intensive socialization and friendship is getting stronger inter-stakeholders, particularly related to the development of policy issues and the latest Hajj and Umrah.

'' This meeting could also be a study for scholars, especially those who pay attention to the management of funds Haj and Umrah for this,'' said Anggito.

The same was also conveyed hope economist Aviliani. During this time, he said, the communication between the stakeholders in the management of funds Haj affairs is still lacking because it was never collected in a container of special meetings.
Therefore, this kind of seminar is required as a place of socialization. During this special pilgrimage consumers to always get confused because saving money in Islamic banks, but it has nothing to do with travel or pilgrimage bureau.

They should take care to travel or pilgrimage agency, but his money deposited into Islamic banks. '' Because of that, it needs to dipahamkan with socialization, especially to travel and pilgrimage agency,'' said Aviliani.

Stakeholders in addition to Islamic banking also need to be convinced that Islamic banks in Indonesia are able to manage such a large fund and whether between Islamic banks and travel agencies hajj can work together.

Hopefully, Islamic banks and travel agents are not confused with the new policies of the Ministry of Religious Affairs and the Government of Saudi Arabia.

Rp 55 triliun dana haji umat Islam Indonesia pengelolaannya jatuh pada perbankan syariah.



Pemangku kepentingan perlu diyakinkan bahwa perbankan syariah mampu mengelola dana haji Rp 55 triliun.

JAKARTA -- Pengalihan dana haji ke perbankan syariah merupakan terobosan baru yang dilakukan Dirjen Penyelenggaraan Haji dan Umrah (PHU) Kementerian Agama tahun ini.

Tidak tanggung-tanggung sekitar Rp 55 triliun dana haji umat Islam Indonesia pengelolaannya jatuh pada perbankan syariah.

Karena itu, Dirjen PHU Anggito Abimanyu menilai, perlu adanya sosialisasi yang intensif pada perbankan yang telah diberikan kewenangan mengelola dana haji ini dan juga sosialisasi kepada pemangku kepentingan yang lain, seperti travel biro haji dan umrah, termasuk para akademisi yang menaruh perhatian pada masalah haji dan umrah.
''Kita melihat perlu memberikan transparansi dana haji kepada stakeholders sesuai dengan prinsip syariah,'' ujar Anggito ketika diwawancara Republika di kantornya, Selasa (23/7).

Selama ini, menurut dia, sosialisasi di kalangan ekonom masih belum cukup, sedangkan sumber dana haji ini sangat banyak.

Termasuk memberi pemahaman bagaimana bank syariah bisa memanfaatkan secara produktif dana haji yang besar tersebut sesuai dengan syariah dan aturan Kementerian Agama.

Menurut Anggito, adanya pertemuan Seminar Prospek Keuangan Syariah dan Tantangan Pengelolaan Dana Haji yang digelar Kamis (25/7), di Hotel Borobudur, oleh Ikatan Sarjana Ekonomi Indonesia (ISEI) dan Republika merupakan langkah yang baik sebagai wadah sosialisasi yang komprehensif tersebut.

Ia berharap ada pengetahuan yang lebih terkait kebijakan pengelolaan dana haji yang diberikan kewenangan ke perbankan syariah.

Dengan seminar ini, diharapkan sosialisasi semakin intensif dan silaturahim antar-stakeholders semakin kuat, terutama terkait perkembangan isu dan kebijakan haji dan umrah yang terbaru.

''Pertemuan ini bisa juga menjadi studi bagi para akademisi, khususnya mereka yang memberi perhatian pada pengelolaan dana haji dan umrah selama ini,'' kata Anggito.

Harapan yang sama juga disampaikan ekonom Aviliani. Selama ini, menurutnya, komunikasi antara stakeholders dalam urusan pengelolaan dana haji masih kurang karena tidak pernah dikumpulkan dalam satu wadah pertemuan khusus.
Karena itu, seminar semacam ini diperlukan sebagai wadah sosialisasi. Selama ini konsumen untuk haji khusus selalu bingung karena menabung di bank syariah, tapi tidak ada hubungannya dengan travel atau biro haji.

Mereka harus mengurus ke travel atau biro haji, tapi duitnya disetorkan ke bank syariah. ''Karena itu, ini perlu dipahamkan dengan sosialisasi, terutama ke travel dan biro haji,'' kata Aviliani.

Pemangku kepentingan selain perbankan syariah juga perlu diyakinkan bahwa bank syariah di Indonesia mampu mengelola dana yang besar tersebut dan apakah antara bank syariah dan biro travel haji bisa bekerja sama.

Harapannya, bank syariah dan biro travel tidak bingung dengan adanya kebijakan-kebijakan baru dari Kementerian Agama dan Pemerintah Arab Saudi.

Is no longer a purely Islamic party ideology according the Qur'an and Sunnah Rasullullah


Is no longer a purely Islamic party ideology according the Qur'an and Sunnah Rasullullah

And the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) is unfeasible longer claim to be the party of Islamic ideology. Maarif Institute researchers Zully Qadir said the party did not reflect the behavior of Islamic values​​.

"(People) PKS always say 'we clean party, party propaganda." They do not deserve another party claimed that Islam, clean. Parties that no ideology, "said Zully discussion about political Islam movements of Indonesia in Jakarta, Friday (26 / 7/2013).

He said it looked from the viscous force of transactional politics in MCC. Dicontohkannya, in areas that are not mass base VFD, precisely applicable local regulations (regulations) sharia. These areas for example, Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, and Tasikmalaya and Indramayu, West Java. Then Banten province, Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, and South Sulawesi.

"There is not a strong MCC area, but apply sharia regulations. Was strong once the transaction. Enforcement of Islamic regulations, the goal that was supported in the elections (local elections) next," said Zully.

Other things, he said, many recognition research respondents claimed an amount of money held up more than Rp 1 billion to be backed up into the head area.

"The other party may do so, but the other party did not claim they were the cleanest and Islamic parties," said sociologist Muhammadiyah University Jakarta.

Sudah tidak ada lagi partai berideologi Islam secara murni sesuai al-qur'an dan sunnah Rasullullah


Sudah tidak ada lagi partai berideologi Islam secara murni sesuai al-qur'an dan sunnah Rasullullah

Partai Keadilan dan Sejahtera (PKS) dinilai tidak layak lagi mengaku sebagai partai berideologi Islam. Peneliti MAARIF Institute Zully Qodir menyatakan, perilaku partai itu tidak mencerminkan nilai-nilai keislaman.

"(Orang) PKS selalu mengatakan 'kami partai yang bersih, partai dakwah'. Mereka tidak layak lagi mengaku partai yang Islam, bersih. Partai itu tidak ada ideologinya," ujar Zully diskusi soal gerakan Islam politik Indonesia di Jakarta, Jumat (26/7/2013).

Ia mengatakan, hal itu tampak dari politik transaksional yang kental berlaku di PKS.  Dicontohkannya, di daerah-daerah yang bukan basis massa PKS, justru berlaku peraturan daerah (perda) syariah. Daerah-daerah itu misalnya, Lombok, Nusa Tenggara Barat, serta Tasikmalaya dan Indramayu, Jawa Barat. Lalu Provinsi Banten, Banjarmasin, Kalimantan Selatan, dan Sulawesi Selatan.

"Di sana bukan daerah PKS kuat, tapi berlaku perda syariah. Itu kuat sekali transaksi. Pemberlakuan perda syariah, tujuannya supaya didukung pada pilkada (pemilihan kepala daerah) berikutnya," pungkas Zully.

Hal lainnya, katanya, banyak pengakuan responden penelitiannya mengaku dimintai sejumlah uang hingga lebih dari Rp 1 miliar agar didukung menjadi kepala daerah.

"Partai lain mungkin melakukannya, tapi partai lain tidak mengaku mereka paling bersih dan partai Islami," tukas sosiolog Universitas Muhammadiyah Jakarta itu.

The Egyptian military decision to remove the majority of the legitimacy of the Egyptian people who deposited the records Mursi became fused betrayal of democracy Egypt.

 Because the government only a year old, the struggle to restore stability Kinanah the country in the hands of the military must be stopped. On the other side of this decision benefits only opposition is not ready to accept the reality of democracy.

There is concern that the President-who felt betrayed now-about the future of Egypt. As a leader who understands politics, he felt the danger threatening the future of Egypt.

  There are those who have feared would steal the revolution and now there along the line of the people who want it crashed.

As a manifestation of his love for the people of Egypt, Dr. Mursi took time to convey some messages and responses related to military decisions. Here is a summary of responses President Mursi:

2. It was a coup attempt. But I still advise that the stability of the country's security is maintained

3. I appeal to all to avoid conflict, and to shed the blood of fellow

4. Our Revolution (January 25) has been stolen by the old regime and the opposition

5. Several measures have been offered to complete the goal of the revolution among Pileg Jurdil, Dialog etc.. But rejected

6. It is an attempt to steal our revolution pure (January 25) that we went back to the beginning and ignore all capaian2
7. I say should be implemented legislative elections were honest and fair with military surveillance and MoHA

8. January 25 revolution was the desire of the people, how can the desire is forgotten in just 1 year?

9. I will not give legitimacy to a new legitimacy. Because of the danger

10. If this is allowed, the law will always be violated. Each month there will be a new law for the sake of removing the old one-sided

11. We all love Egypt. I say again, there is no substitute for a legitimate law

12. I admit the existence of the rejection, but I also see the support that is no less great for the legitimacy of the Law

Thus the summary of responses after the release of President Mursi Egyptian military statement.

 Egyptian court issued an order to detain former President Mohammad Mursi for 15 days pending an investigation into allegations that he called a spy for the militant group Hamas.

In addition, the government's news agency, MENA, Mursi also be helped in the event jailbreak uprising that ousted former President Hosni Mubarak.

Mesir menjadi terbelah dua kelompok dan Militer Mesir semakin panik.


Mesir menjadi terbelah dua kelompok dan Militer Mesir semakin panik.

Ajakan penguasa militer Mesir agar rakyat Mesir melakukan demonstrasi untuk mencari legitimasi apakah rakyay mendukung kudeta militer dianngap sebagai kepanikan militer Mesir yang semakin hari semakin ditentang rakyat mesir yang melakukan unjuk rasa di sebagian besar kota-kota besar di Mesir

Ajakan itu malah semakin memperuncing perpecahan di Mesir sehingga rakyat Mesir semakin terbelah dua dan semakin jauh dari kehidupan demokrasi, sehinnga para ulama seperti Yusuf Qardhawi meminta militer Mesir mengembalikan kekuasaan Mursi kembali jadi Presiden Mesir yang sah dan legitimate.

Yusuf Qardhawi dan para ulama senior di Universitas Al-Azhar bahkan mengimbau rakyat Mesir untuk bersatu untuk mengembalikan kehidupan berdemokrasi yang sehat di Mesir sesuai dengan konstitusi tidak berkuasa dengan cara-cara kekerasan seperti kudeta yang sama dengan cara-cara tidak sehat dan tidak demokratis.



 Bentrokan antara dua kubu anti dan pro mantan Presiden Mohammed Mursi pecah di beberapa kota di Mesir pada Jumat waktu setempat. Sembilan orang dilaporkan tewas, sementara lebih dari 200 lainnya terluka.

Menurut Reuters, korban tewas kebanyakan berasal dari Alexandria, kota terbesar kedua di Mesir. Al-Ahram memberitakan, bentrokan terjadi saat massa anti-Mursi yang digawangi militer melakukan long march. Tema aksi mereka adalah Mesir melawan terorisme.

Saat berjalan di Mahatet Al-Raml, mereka bertemu dengan massa pro-Mursi di dekat Masjid Al-Qaed Ibrahim, bentrok tak terelakkan. Salah satu korban berusia 14 tahun, tewas ditikam di perutnya. Seorang korban lainnya tewas ditembak di kepala.

Bentrokan juga terjadi di Kairo, Damietta, Gharbiya dan Sharqiya di Nil Delta. Massa banyak yang terluka akibat tembakan pelet dari senapan burung dan lemparan batu dari atas gedung. Sebanyak 274 orang terluka.

Massa anti Mursi turun ke jalan setelah mendapatkan lampu hijau dari pemimpin militer Mesir Abdel Fattah El-Sisi pada Rabu. Dia menyerukan rakyat untuk menggelar protes dan mendukung militer dalam menggempur kekerasan dan terorisme pasca penggulingan Mursi.

Seruan demonstrasi ini bertepatan waktunya dengan rencana aksi besar-besaran Ikhwanul Muslimin yang menganggap Mursi digulingkan secara ilegal dan menuntut dia dikembalikan ke tampuk kepemimpinan.

Ikhwanul Muslimin telah melakukan aksi di beberapa kota setelah Mursi digulingkan. Menteri Dalam Negeri yang baru Mohamed Ibrahim, mengatakan bahwa aksi ini akan segera dihentikan sesuai dengan hukum.

Dalam akun Facebooknya, Ikhwanul Muslimin mengatakan bahwa militer kian agresif. Militer, ujar mereka, menyerbu perkemahan mereka pada malam hari.

Sebelumnya, bentrokan parah terjadi di depan markas Garda Revolusi, tempat diduga Mursi ditahan. Sebanyak 54 anggota Ikhwanul Muslimin tewas diberondong peluru.

Keputusan Militer Mesir menghapus legitimasi mayoritas rakyat Mesir yang dititipkan pada Mursi menjadi catatan buran pengkhianatan demokrasi Mesir.

 Pasalnya dalam umur pemerintahan yang baru setahun, perjuangan memulihkan stabilitas negeri Kinanah tersebut harus terhenti di tangan militer. Di lain sisi keputusan ini hanya menguntungkan oposisi yang tidak siap menerima kenyataan demokrasi.

Ada kekhawatiran yang dirasakan Sang Presiden -yang kini dikhianati- tentang masa depan Mesir. Sebagai seorang pemimpin yang memahami perpolitikan, dia merasakan bahaya tengah mengancam masa depan Mesir.

  Ada pihak-pihak yang selama ini ditakutkan akan mencuri revolusi dan kini ada bersama barisan rakyat yang menginginkannya jatuh.

Sebagai wujud kecintaannya pada rakyat Mesir, Dr. Mursi menyempatkan diri menyampaikan beberapa pesan dan tanggapan terkait keputusan militer. Berikut adalah ringkasan tanggapan Presiden Mursi:

1. Saya adalah Presiden yang sah dan resmi, dipilih langsung oleh rakyat pra/pasca pernyataan Militer

2. Ini adalah upaya kudeta. Tapi saya tetap menghimbau agar stabilitas keamanan negara tetap dijaga

3. Saya menghimbau kepada semua agar tidak bertikai dan menumpahkan darah sesama

4. Revolusi kita (25 Januari) telah dicuri oleh rezim lama dan oposisi

5. Beberapa langkah telah ditawarkan untuk melengkapi tujuan revolusi di antaranya Pileg Jurdil, Dialog dll. Tapi ditolak

6. Ini adalah upaya untuk mencuri Revolusi kita yang murni (25 Januari) agar kita balik ke awal dan mengabaikan semua capaian2
7. Saya katakan harus segera dilaksanakan Pemilu Legislatif yang jujur dan adil dengan pengawasan Militer dan Kemendagri

8. Revolusi 25 Januari itu keinginan rakyat, bagaimana bisa keinginan tersebut dilupakan hanya dalam waktu 1 tahun?

9. Saya tidak akan menyerahkan legitimasi ini kepada legitimasi baru. Karena itu bahaya

10. Jika ini dibiarkan, UU akan selalu dilanggar. Tiap bulan akan ada UU baru menghapus yang lama demi kepentingan sepihak

11. Kita semua mencintai Mesir. Saya katakan sekali lagi, tidak ada pengganti bagi UU yang sah

12. Saya akui adanya penolakan besar, tapi saya juga melihat adanya dukungan yang tidak kalah besar bagi legitimasi UU

Demikian ringkasan tanggapan Presiden Mursi pasca keluarnya pernyataan Militer Mesir.

 Pengadilan Mesir mengeluarkan perintah untuk menahan mantan Presiden Muhammad Mursi selama 15 hari sambil menunggu hasil penyelidikan tuduhan yang menyebut dia menjadi mata-mata bagi kelompok militan Hamas.

Selain itu, menurut laporan kantor berita pemerintah, MENA, Mursi juga dianggap ikut membantu pembobolan penjara dalam peristiwa pemberontakan yang menggulingkan mantan Presiden Hosni Mubarak.

Stasiun berita Al Jazeera, Jumat 26 Juli 2013 melansir keputusan itu dikeluarkan oleh pengadilan pada hari ini. Menurut informasi dari pejabat berwenang, keputusan itu diambil oleh Hakim Hassan Sammir, yang menyelidiki tuduhan terhadap Mursi.

Laporan itu muncul saat pendukung dan penentang Mursi tengah bersiap untuk menggelar unjuk rasa besar-besaran nasional sesuai seruan Panglima Militer dan Menteri Pertahanan sementara Mesir, Jenderal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. Di waktu yang bersamaan kelompok Ikhwanul Muslimin (IM) juga menyerukan hal yang sama demi memperjuangan masa depan Mesir.

Namun hingga saat ini keberadaan Mursi masih belum diketahui. Banyak pihak menduga dia ditahan di markas Garda Republik. Juru bicara Kemlu, Badr Abdel-Atti pada tanggal 10 Juli lalu memang telah mengkonfirmasi bahwa Mursi kini berada di tempat yang aman dan diperlakukan secara baik.

Menanggapi keputusan pengadilan itu, juru bicara kelompok IM, Gehad El-Haddad, mengatakan bahwa Mesir sudah mulai kembali ke rezim lama ketika diperintah Mubarak.

"Tuduhan itu dibacakan seolah mereka merupakan pembalasan dendam dari rezim lama," ungkap El-Haddad.

Keputusan pengadilan itu merupakan lanjutan dari peryataan bulan lalu yang menyebut kelompok IM bekerja sama dengan kelompok Hamas dan Hizbullah untuk menyerbu penjara Wadi el-Natroun tahun 2011 silam. Saat itu sebanyak 34 anggota tinggi kelomok IM termasuk mantan Presiden Mursi berhasil dikeluarkan dari penjara.

Tim-tim unggulan sepakbola Inggris ramai-ramai ke Indonesia.


Tim-tim unggulan sepakbola Inggris ramai-ramai ke Indonesia.

Setelah Arsenal, kini Liverpool datang ke Jakarta, menyusul Chelsia beberapa pekan mendatang, mereka akan menjajal kekuatan kesebelasan Indonesia


Pemain legendaris Liverpool, Ian Rush, menilai The Reds akan bermain serius saat menghadapi Indonesia XI dalam laga uji coba di Stadion Utama Gelora Bung Karno, Sabtu (20/7/2013). Liverpool, kata dia, ingin mencetak banyak gol untuk memberikan hiburan kepada Liverpudlian di Jakarta.

Liverpool datang ke Indonesia dalam rangkaian tur pramusim ke Asia dan Australia. Indonesia menjadi destinasi pertama rombongan tim Merseyside ini sebelum menuju Melbourne pada 24 Juli dan Bangkok empat hari setelahnya.

"Liverpool memang ingin memberikan hiburan kepada penggemarnya di sini (Indonesia) dan mereka ingin mencetak banyak gol di pertandingan nanti," ujar Rush di Jakarta, Jumat (19/7/2013).

Di partai uji coba sebelumnya, Arsenal sukses mengalahkan Indonesia dengan skor tujuh gol tanpa balas di SUGBK, Minggu (14/7/2013). Pun halnya dengan Belanda yang juga mampu menang 3-0 saat menantang Sergio van Dijk dan kawan-kawan pada 7 Juni lalu.

Rush menilai, hasil dua pertandingan tersebut tentunya akan membuat pelatih dan pemain berupaya maksimal agar kekalahan mencolok itu tidak terulang lagi. Menurutnya, jika merupakan tim sepak bola profesional, maka Indonesia akan belajar banyak dari dua kekalahan tersebut dan akan tampil lebih baik.

"Ketika menghadapi Liverpool, mereka (Indonesia) akan belajar dari pengalaman. Jika mereka kembali kalah tujuh gol sama ketika melawan Arsenal itu tandanya mereka tidak belajar dari kesalahan," kata Rush.

Jelang pertandingan melawan Indonesia XI, pelatih Liverpool Brendan Rodgers mengaku sempat menyaksikan cuplikan pertandingan tim Indonesia saat melawan Arsenal. Rodgers menilai tim Indonesia ketika itu tampil cukup bagus. Ia bahkan tak segan menilai kualitas teknik tim ”Garuda”.

”Hingga menit ke-70 pertandingannya cukup ketat. Menurut saya, pemain Indonesia punya teknik bagus dan sepertinya mereka mudah dilatih,” kata Rodgers, Kamis (18/7/2013).

Hanya saja, ia sepakat dengan perkataan pelatih Arsenal Arsene Wenger mengenai stamina pemain Indonesia. Sebelumnya, Wenger mengatakan bahwa stamina pemain Indonesia buruk.

”Setelah menit 70 sepertinya mereka kelelahan. Mungkin benar apa yang disebut Wenger kalau mereka kurang di segi stamina,” lanjut Rodgers.

Meskipun begitu, Rodgers tidak serta-merta menganggap remeh tim ”Garuda”. Apalagi skuad Indonesia akan ketambahan pemain dari tim U-23.

”Ada beberapa pemain berbakat di tim ini, terutama mungkin di lini depan. Pertandingan ini akan jadi tes,” kata Rodgers.

Liverpool akan meladeni tantangan tim Indonesia XI hari Sabtu (20/7/2013) di Stadion Utama Gelora Bung Karno, Jakarta. Mereka lalu akan melanjutkan tur pramusim ke Melbourne, Australia, dan Bangkok, Thailand.

Terkait dengan tur Asia mereka ini, Rodgers pun dihadapkan pertanyaan kemungkinan merekrut pemain Asia. Namun, Rodgers ternyata tidak ambil pusing dengan asal-muasal pemain.

”Liverpool adalah klub besar dan kami selalu ingin mendapatkan pemain terbaik. Tak masalah dari mana asal mereka,” pungkas Rodgers.

Kedatangan tamu istimewa dari luar negeri seperti Liverpool selalu dimanfaatkan berbagai pihak demi menangguk rezeki. Dari yang menjadi calo tiket, menjual seragam ataupun syal tim.

Salah satu para "pencari rezeki" tersebut adalah Art. Di antara pembeli tiket dan penjaja aksesori, sosoknya mudah tertangkap mata. Tubuhnya lebih tinggi dari rata-rata, kulitnya putih kemerahan tersengat matahari di atas langit Senayan, dan rambutnya yang berwarna pirang mulai tampak memutih.

Tangan kanannya mengacungkan selembar syal Liverpool, sementara di tangan kirinya menggantung belasan syal serupa. Di lehernya menggantung karton putih bertuliskan "1 pcs 30.000".

"Saya dari Belanda. Di sana saya tinggal di Amsterdam," kata Art ketika Kompas.com menghampirinya.

Ia mengaku akan mengikuti rute The Reds ke Melbourne dan berlanjut ke Bangkok. Namun, ia tak sendiri. "Ada dua teman saya, mereka juga ikut berjualan," kata Art.

Menilik ceritanya, akan mudah berasumsi jika Art adalah penggemar Liverpool. Memang, ia mengaku suka pada The Reds dan Steven Gerrard. Namun, ia ternyata tak "sereligius" penggemar The Reds lain.

"Saya tahu mereka tim bagus, tapi saya tak terlalu hapal nama pemainnya," jelas Art.

Secara blak-blakan ia mengaku tujuannya ke Jakarta adalah untuk berlibur. "Ini liburan dan saya butuh uang," kata Art.

Sebelum ke Jakarta, ia pun sempat mampir ke Vietnam, tempat Arsenal menjalankan tur pra-musim. Di sana ia juga berjualan syal. Tentu yang dijual adalah syal Arsenal.

Art tak merinci di mana ia membeli syal-syal tersebut. Ia hanya menyebut bahwa dagangannya tersebut dibeli secara grosir. "Semua buatan Asia," jelasnya.

Sambil berbincang dengan Kompas.com, Art sesekali berhenti untuk meladeni pembeli. Pengamatan Kompas.com, beberapa calon penonton Liverpool pun tampak berhenti sejenak di depan Art. Entah, mungkin mereka merasa mendapat pengalaman baru melihat "bule" menjajakan syal.

Sepak bola dan segala fanatismenya, selalu dimanfaatkan untuk menangguk untung dari sisi komersial. Terutama, di Indonesia. Negara asal jutaan penggemar klub luar negeri seperti Liverpool. Art hanya salah satu sosok yang jeli memanfaatkan fanatisme itu.
