Coins action and Punishment effects are more important than the death of two Australian  drug kimpin

Statement of the Prime Minister, Tony Abbott is considered linking Australian assistance in the tsunami in Aceh in 2004 with the issue of the death penalty in Indonesia, continues to protests in Indonesia.

Meanwhile, Australians in general are still questioning the attitude of Indonesia who will execute two Australians, even though they disagreed with the statement that Tony Abbott.

In Jakarta, Sunday (22/02) yesterday, symbolic actions such as collecting coins to be given to the Australian government was held by a group of people on the sidelines of the car free day at the Hotel Indonesia roundabout.

"As a matter of us, if the 100 million citizens of Indonesia accounted for only 10 coins, the one trillion rupiah. We can return to them (Australia)," said Andi Sinulingga, protest leaders 'Coins for Australia'.

Previously, the Indonesian Muslim Student Action Union (Kammi) Aceh went to the street on coin collection action in protest over the Abbott statement, since Saturday (21/02) ago.

The protest in the form of collecting coins is also rife in social media that marked the presence of thousands hashtag #CoinForAustralia and also #KoinUntukAustralia.

The attitude of Australians

Meanwhile, the Australian public in general is still questioned the attitude of Indonesia who still practice the death penalty, including those that will be experienced by two Australians.

So far, the Indonesian legal authorities say, they will keep executing two Australians Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran in drug smuggling case, in addition to some of Indonesia as well as other citizens.

"The attitude of most Australians feel there should be no death penalty," said observer Southeast Asia and Asia Pacific from the University NasionalAustralian National University, James Fox, the BBC Indonesia, Heyder Affan, Sunday (22/02) evening, via telephone.

James Fox analyze, disputes about the death penalty this would disturb the relations between the two countries in the short term, because of the Australia-Indonesia insisted maintain "principle, each" in the matter of the death penalty.

However, according to him, the people of Australia are likely to disagree with the statement of Prime Minister Tony Abbott were reminded again about the Australian aid in the tsunami in Aceh in 2004.

Abbott Statement corrected

Moreover, according to James, Tony Abbott's statement was later corrected and corrected by other Australian government official.

"He (Abbott) may speak one and is considered one of the governments of Australia," said James Fox.

Indonesia then responded by pulling his ambassador summoned the ambassador of Brazil to Indonesia as the latest form of protest against the attitude of the Brazilian government.

Residents of Brazil Marco Archer was sentenced to death on 17 January after being convicted guilty of drug trafficking. Other Brazilians, Rodrigo Gularte, scheduled to be executed in the near future. (BBC)

Punishment  effect, more important than Australian Aids

There is a cleric (local scholars) in North Jakarta, he often lectured to mosques. He had many children, but he is well respected for its citizens known as scholars and administrators of the mosque. But on the other hand he was not able to stem the influence of drugs on children, eldest son was killed by the brunt of drugs in his body.

There is another well in the area of ​​North Jakarta, there is a father's wife also works as a doctor, but his two sons alone in the Drops Out of medical school due to drug addiction.

Two events above is enough to prove the drug epidemic has penetrated every household in Indonesia, including household bust a scholar, and a pair of parents were doctors

Two households above is a fraction of the 5 million Indonesian youth who are addicted to drugs that every day has killed 50 youths in Indonesia.

Is the tragic events of the above does not make the heart melancholy Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who was unethical to bring up its humanitarian aid to the tsunami in Aceh, Indonesia in order to cancel the death penalty against two of its citizens.

Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki Moon is also very unethical, she who must be concerned with the condition of drugs in Indonesia, which has become an extraordinary crime and unstoppable should not comment on the death penalty which is still applied in 50 other UN member states

Now if Indonesia wants to sell self-esteem as a nation, when its sovereignty as a country that has laws and regulations to protect the interests and the future of its existence as a nation.

Do we allow the existence as a nation will be destroyed in the future, which is due to drugs will paralyze the pemudanya.Tidak this should not happen. Moreover, only the consideration of a Tony Abbot and Ban Ki Moon, the future interests of 250 million people of Indonesia is much more valuable than just indulging in Western culture and secular law.

It is clear laws and legislation in Indonesia who died mengukum continuing drug, not only in support of its people, is reflected in the support of the leadership of Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama, But let Drugs, Muhammadiyah itself has memfatwakan illicit smoking, the level lighter than Drugs .

But the Council of Ulama in Saudi Arabia and Malaysia equate the dangers of smoking to drugs, because the level of toxins inhaled by smoking has killed millions of people in addition to impoverish the world's people who are already poor poorer.

Even in the extreme is not possible in the future to be equated with drug Smoking for endangering the future existence of a nation.

Draft Law on Tobacco (Bill): between the interests of wealth in the world, and doom in the Hereafter

Prof. Amin Rais, former Chairman of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) and former Chairman of Muhammadiyah in talk show ALFITO in the AFP, told me, that the members of the House of Representatives (DPR) a member of Parliament for wanting to change the destiny, it means that his fate was hard so Yag affluent people (the rich), so there is rarely only member of the House wants to improve the fate of the people, or considering the interests of the people than the interests of the bag itself.

Well, what was raised Amin Rais I so feel free to members of our Parliament, let alone soon tobacco bill will be a priority for members of the House of Representatives passed.

So we wait, is actually a member of this House will be concerned with the fate and future of the Indonesian people, especially the youth in order to have a future that is healthy and strong, without a variety of cancers, heart disease, impotence, miscarriages, and other complications of smoking-related diseases are has reached into trillions of dollars to the cost of treatment, the opposite will be added rich conglomerates cigarette factory owners and the owners of the plantations that regardless of the millions of young people they had killed for the sake of mere wealth, remember in the world you can get rich from selling cigarettes, but in the hereafter you will receive the Wrath of God, because Muhammadiyah, mashab Salafi (Ahl-ul-Sunnah waljamaah based arguments of the Qur'an and hadith has been forbidden cigarette, then you are eating pork that has been forbidden in the Qur'an Allah, you may argue as good as any, but world health scientists (doctors) have proven smoking tantamount slow suicide, as we know the laws of Islam threatened suicide in God go to hell. Because if the dead can not live anymore and do not have a chance for repentance.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Legislative Body of Parliament incorporate the Bill of Pertembakauan the National Legislation Program (Prolegnas) Priority Baleg Word 2015. Vice Chairman Soebagyo say, the inclusion of the bill on the list of priorities is part of an effort to overcome the dominance of white cigarettes in the domestic market in the country.

"Tobacco is a strategic commodity Indonesia and we have a history of tobacco in the world. But, on the other hand, there are foreigners who want to develop a white cigarette industry in Indonesia," said Word, at the Parliament Complex, Tuesday (02/10/2015).

Golkar Party politician said, many people are working on making the discussion draft Pertembakauan failed. This, according to him, not in spite of the efforts of competition among manufacturers of cigarettes. In fact, the discussion of this bill deliberately made a priority to protect the tobacco industry, especially the farmers in the country.

"This bill is made for tobacco farmers do not turn off, do not turn off the cigarette factory, and still pay attention to health problems," he said.

Furthermore, the Word says, today many foreign cigarette manufacturers have been gearing up to expand its market to Indonesia. If the debate on the bill has not been completed, the domestic cigarette manufacturers are facing bankruptcy.

Background Why It Should Forbidden Smoking?

Forbid smoking is a big decision that have a major impact as well. The impact of the huge benefits when it is done well because more than mudharatnya mangutamakan benefits. To determine the major decisions that the scholars should consider the many arguments of the Islamic religion and combined with information and data about the health hazards of smoking and mudharatnya good for yourself and others in the vicinity. The big decision is bound to cause enormous controversy also remember, smoking pleasure is difficult to remove. for unlawful smoking support group will definitely suck because demkian ferociously cigarette danger to mankind. For opponents of many factors that the reason because in addition to difficult to remove cigarette, classic reason to lose close a cigarette factory, the argument of religious reasons and the reasons which need a long debate. While the scientific data loss has a real smoke disturbing smokers and humans around. But certainly various scholars in various Islamic countries have started to forbid smoking world for his people.

Although there are no verses of the Koran, the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad and the four schools of scholarly opinion which stated cigarette as illicit goods, scholars Quraish Shihab has reason tends to reinforce his opinion that the illicit cigarette. Cigarettes, according to the Quraysh, have very bad effects on health and it is not in accordance with the religious purpose. Though religious purpose is to maintain healthy, reasonable, property, and honor. "Islamic law can set appropriate time. If there is a bad effect, is clearly prohibited. If not so, the term makrooh or disliked, "he said.

In today's development, he said, many experts and doctors who said, smoke can harm our health. "Even the tobacco companies were admitted. Otherwise it would not have made the statement in (packaging) of cigarettes, "he said. In addition, cigarettes cause wastage. The cost to treat diseases caused by cigarettes is much greater than the tax advantage obtained by the government. Smoking, also drove people to addiction and religion does not approve of their addiction. "Based on the consideration that many contemporary scholars who declared smoking haram. I myself tend unlawful judge. Only waste, cause disease, and it is admitted by the cigarette factory, "he said. Therefore, it is time for the government revive the anti-smoking campaign that involves all parties. "The media should be involved, engaged scholars, government as well," he said. In addition, smoking rule should also increasingly tightened. "Sanctions should also be tightened, as long as this is not too firm," said Quraish. Contemporary scholars have long ago assess cigarette as illicit goods. Greatest Imam Al-Azhar University in Egypt in the 1960s, Sheikh Mahmud Syaltut assess opinion stating that smoking is forbidden even makruh, closer to the truth and a stronger argument. Shaykh Muhammad Al-Kuttani call 17 'argument / reason of the prohibition of smoking

Cigarette danger to health

Cigarette smoke contains thousands of toxic chemicals and substances that can cause cancer (carcinogens). Even hazardous substances and toxins in cigarettes not only cause health problems in people who smoke, but also to the people around him who did not smoke, mostly infants, children and mothers are forced to be passive smokers because of the father or their husbands smoked at home. Whereas passive smokers have a higher risk of suffering from lung cancer and heart disease ishkemia. Whereas in fetuses, infants and children have a greater risk to suffer the incidence of low birth weight, bronchitis and pneumonia, ear infections and asthma cavity.

Given the magnitude of the problem of cigarettes, the whole community together elalu the government should seek to carry out the ways smoking prevention systematically and continuously namely improving counseling and provision of information to the public, expand and streamline the non-smoking area, gradually reduce the advertising and promotion of cigarettes, streamline the functions of the label , using the price mechanism to lower demand and excise smoking and improve laws and regulations on smoking prevention issues. She believed that poverty and smoking, especially for the poor are two things that are interconnected and affect each other. Someone who burn cigarettes per day has lost the opportunity to buy milk or other foods that are nutritious for children and families. As a result of the child can not grow well and kecerdasanya also not sufficiently developed, so that the capacity for a better life in adulthood becomes very limited. Moreover, most likely the father also died due to diseases related to smoking. And so on, so that the smoke and poverty is a circle setan.Menkes added, smoking habits in Indonesia tends to increase. Based on Susenas (National Socioeconomic Survey) Indonesian population aged adults who have a habit of smoking as much as 31.6%. With the large number and the high percentage of the population who have the habit of smoking, Indonesia is the fifth highest consumer of cigarettes in the world with the number of cigarettes consumed (burnt) in 2002 as many as 182 billion cigarettes annually after the People's Republic of China (1.697.291milyar), United States (463.504 billion), Russia (375,000 billion) and Japan (299 085 billion). Head of the WHO Representative to Indonesia in a written speech read by Dr. Frits Reijsenbach de Haan stated, the poor are the most community groups became victims of the tobacco industry because it uses the income to buy something (cigarettes) that is jeopardizing their health.

In a recent report issued by the World Health Organization entitled "Tobacco and Poverty: A Vicious Cycle or Tobacco and Poverty: A Vicious Cycle" in commemoration of World No Tobacco Day on May 31, 2004, proving that most smokers are poor people. Even in developed countries though, the number of smokers mostly came from the bottom of society. They also who have the economic and health burden brunt of cigarette addiction. Of the approximately 1.3 billion smokers worldwide, 84% of them in developing countries.

The results of the study also found that the highest number of smokers in Madras India actually comes from illiterate communities. Then another research proves that the poorest communities in Bangladesh spend almost 10 times as much income for tobacco than for educational purposes. Then research in three provinces Vietnam found, smokers spent 3.6 times more on tobacco than on education, 2.5 times more for tobacco than clothes and 1.9 times more for tobacco than for health care costs. According to WHO, smoking will create a double burden, because the smoke will disturb the health so that more costs be incurred to treat the disease. Besides meropok also spend money that should be used to buy nutritious foods.

To stop smoking Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) is planning to issue a fatwa banning smoking. Smoking fatwa that will be applied nationally is currently still under intensive discussion among scholars. Chairman of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) Amidhan said today that he is to discuss the possibility of issuing a fatwa on smoking. Interrupted accept Indonesian Commission for Child Protection (KPAI) and Health Association, Amidhan said the fatwa is actually not new to the MUI. However, its provisions are still to be discussed with a number of scholars. Meanwhile, the Indonesian National Commission for Child Protection (KPAI) and the Association of Health urged MUI fatwa immediately set for cigarettes. Commission will ensure the hand-rolled cigarettes are manufactured from tobacco disturb the health. So with the enactment of smoking fatwa is certainly expected to reduce the number of smokers among children.

MUI AND PP Muhammadiyah Proscribe Cigarettes

Indonesian Ulema Council issued a fatwa smoking. It is supported then the same fatwa issued Muhammadiyah through the Majlis Legal Affairs and Tajdid. "The act of smoking contain elements flopped into destruction," said Chairman of the Legal Affairs Division of Muhammadiyah Yunahar Ilyas in Jakarta, Wednesday (10/3), on the background of the edict. Currently public awareness about the dangers of smoking are low. Similarly, regarding the ban on smoking in public places. From this was born the Regional Regulation No. 2 of 2005 on Air Pollution Control

While MUI fatwa smoking argued not to be enforced immediately. "Koran when forbid something that is already entrenched in the community, it's taken a gradual manner," said Deputy Chairman of the MUI Fatwa Ali Mustafa Ya`qub. When still be pros and cons, there is one that is definitely rejected. Ie the tobacco industry and its workers. As one of the tobacco-producing countries, thousands of workers dependent on cigarettes. This is accompanied by increased smokers Indonesia from year to year

Why Cigarettes Haram

Various proposition shows why smoking haram because spoil yourself and others:

"And spend (your substance) in the way of Allah, and do your own hands into destruction, and do good; for Allah loveth those who do good." [Al-Baqarah: 195]

And (We sent) to the residents of Mad-yan, their brother Shu'ayb, then he said: "O my people! Worship Allah to you, expect (the reward) the end of the day, and do not you roam the earth do mischief." [Al 'Ankabuut: 36]

"And do not make mischief in the land, after (God) to fix" [Al-A'raf: 56]

"And do not harm humans on their rights and do not rampant in the earth to make mischief" [Ash Syu'araa: 183]

 From Sa'id ibn Sa'd bin Malik ra, that Rasululloh SAW said, "Prohibited everything dangerous and inflict harm." (Hasan hadeeth narrated by Ibn Majah, Daruquthni, and Malik in al-Muwatha ')

Allah and His Messenger justifies the good and forbid all that bad: "the unlettered Prophet (name) they found written in the Torah and the Gospel in their side, who told them to do that ma'ruf and forbidding them to do what is wrong and justifies them all good and forbids them evil things "[Al-A'raf: 157]

Often people smoking in public places so as to disturb others. The smell of smoke and disturb others. It is a great sin. Instead of illicit cigarettes, people who eat garlic is lawful because it smells interfere barred from entering the mosque:

Ibn Umar. said: Verily the Messenger of Allah. Khaibar once said: He who eats this fruit (garlic), then he must not enter the mosque. (Saheeh Muslim, 870)

Anas .: That He never asked about garlic. Anas said: Verily the Messenger of Allah. once said: Those who eat of this tree (garlic), then he must not come near us and do not he come pray with us. (Saheeh Muslim, 872)

Jabir ra. said: Messenger of Allah. prohibits eating onions and garlic daffodil. One time we took all that we eat. He said: Those who eat this bad tree, let him not approach our mosque. The angels will feel pain (because it smells) like humans. (Saheeh Muslim, 874)

Smoking forbidden because it is a waste. If a pack of cigarettes Rp 8,000, then that person a month to spend Rp 240 thousand for the things that will destroy themselves and others. Though the money could be used to send two of his children. God forbid wasteful destructive nature like that: "And give to families who close their rights, to the poor and people are on the way, and do not squander (your wealth) is wasteful. Indeed spender-wasters that are brothers of Satan and the devil is very dissenter to his Lord. "[Al-Israa ': 26-27]

Smoking is forbidden because it is not only useless, but would damage:

Abu Hurairoh ra said: "Prophet Muhammad once said:" Some signs of Islamic good person he is leaving something that is not useful to him. "(Hasan hadith, narrated by Tirmidhi and others) When doing useless things just means all is not well Islamannya , let alone people who do things that damage. People who smoked at least spend 10 minutes for each cigarette that he suction. So if 12 cigarettes a day, he spends 120 minutes every day for things that are destructive. The majority of scholars argue otherwise makruh, then smoke it is forbidden. Therefore, it is time for Muslims to leave smoking. Muslims do not deserve to spend money for something that is damaging himself and hated by Allah.

MUI should issue a Fatwa Haram Smoking. Moreover, scholars in Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, and Iran already forbid.

"And spend (your substance) in the way of Allah, and do your own hands into destruction, and do good; for Allah loveth those who do good." [Al-Baqarah: 195]

It turns out that studies have shown passive smokers (wife, children, and people who are near the smoker) just got a lot more danger. Why? Because smokers do not inhale cigarette smoke.
