J. W. MARRIOTT & THE RITZ CARLTON HOTELS BOMBING, JAKARTA 16 JULY 2009
Mommy, what’s going on? Why these terrorists attacked us? Apa yang terjadi, Ibu? Mengapa teroris menyerang kita? A CHILD’S QUESTION TO HER MOTHER: WHY THE TERRORISTS ATTACKED THEIR COUNTRY? PERTANYAAN SEORANG ANAK KEPADA IBUNYA, MENGAPA TERORIS MENYERANG NEGARA MEREKA.
My child, some people have
“purposes” and they see our beautiful country where more than 200 million people live in simple lives...
Anakku, beberapa orang punya tujuannya sendiri dan mereka melihat negeri kita yang indah dimana hidup lebih dari 200 juta orang dalam kesederhanaan.
The terrorists, many of them are actually smart people. Unfortunately they grow hatred in their heart and they need a way to revenge for their anger toward their lives. Banyak dari mereka yang sebetulnya orang pandai tapi sayangnya memiliki kebencian di hati mereka dan mencari cara untuk membalas dendam atas kemarahan mereka terhadap hidup mereka.
Then the terrorists see our country, a place where people from anywhere are warmly welcome, a peaceful place where people are smiling although many people are living in poverty. Lalu mereka melihat negeri kita, sebuah tempat di mana orang dari mana saja disambut hangat, sebuah tempat yang damai di mana orang-orang tersenyum meskipun masih hidup dalam kemiskinan.
These people think they could take advantage of us with their belief in hate, that people should hate others like they do. Orang-orang ini berpikir bahwa mereka dapat mengambil keuntungan dari kita dengan keyakinan mereka atas kebencian, bahwa orang harusnya membenci orang lain seperti yang mereka lakukan
The terrorists see our brother and sister’s modesty and difficulties as the door to enter this country and ruin our lives. They think we can be like them, who believe that killing others is the way to live. Mereka melihat kesederhanaan dan kesukaran hidup kita sebagai pintu untuk masuk ke negeri ini dan menghancurkan hidup kita. Mereka mengira bahwa kita dapat menjadi seperti mereka yang percaya bahwa membunuh orang lain adalah cara untuk hidup.
IN INDONESIA, RELIGION PRACTICES IS GUARANTEED BY NATIONAL LAW. THIS IS A REFLECTION OF THE COUNTRY’S REAL CONDITION WHERE AMONG IT’S 86.1% MUSLIM POPULATIONS [MORE THAN ANY COUNTRY WITH PREDOMINANT MUSLIM POPULATION IN THE WORLD], CHRISTIANS, HINDUS, BUDDHISTS ARE THRIVING. THERE ARE MORE THAN 400 ETHNIC GROUPS LIVE IN INDONESIA, INCLUDING CHINESE, INDIAN, ARAB, CAUCASIANS DESCENDS. INDONESIA IS “THE TRUEST ASIA”. AN ATTACK TO THIS COUNTRY, IS A SYMBOL TO ATTACK TO ANY COUNTRY IN THIS PLANET.
BUT WE ARE NOT LIKE THEM. We have been tortured, we have been hurt, but we are not going to be like them. Tapi kita tidak seperti mereka. Kita telah disiksa, kita telah disakiti tapi kita tidak akan menjadi seperti mereka.
INDONESIANS ARE NOTED AS VERY FORGIVING PEOPLE, THAT CONTINUALLY SHOW WARM AND OPEN ATTITUDE TOWARDS ITS NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES, EVEN WHEN ENCOUNTERING TO ITS PREVIOUS ERA COLONIALISTS [A CONTRAST TO ANY COUNTRY THAT HAS EXPERIENCE OF COLONIALISM].
We will heal our wounded heart and stand up again as INDONESIANS who have always love lives. We are not going to give up and we will fight them back! Kita akan menyembuhkan luka hati kita dan berdiri kembali sebagai ORANG-ORANG INDONESIA yang selalu mencintai hidup. Kita tidak akan menyerah dan kita akan melawan mereka!
How are we going to fight the terrorists back, Mommy? Bagaimana cara kita melawan mereka, Ibu?
My child, Indonesian will stand together as a nation. This vast archipelago will go unite and work together to protect our country. Anakku, orang Indonesia akan berdiri bersama sebagai sebuah bangsa. Kita akan bersatu dan bekerjasama untuk melindungi negeri kita.
INDONESIA HAS NO SMALL POWER. IT HAS 1.919.440 KM2 LAND, 17.508 ISLANDS, 240 MILLION POPULATION, NUMBER 16TH IN ECONOMY SIZE (GDP-PPP) COMPARED TO THE WORLD [2008].
We will show to those terrorists that we are not losers and they are not going to use us by any means to get what they want, They shall be punished and be perished, while we will glory. Kita akan tunjukkan kepada para teroris itu bahwa kita bukan pecundang dan mereka tidak akan memakai kita lagi untuk kepentingan mereka.
THE REAL PUNISHMENT TO THE TERRORISTS-CRIMINALS IS BY OUR SHOWING THAT INDONESIANS ARE NOT SCARED AND NOT BUYING THE HATE THEY SPREAD. WE SHALL CONTINUE TO WORK TO BUILD OUR FOUNDING FATHER’S DREAM: TO BUILD A FREE COUNTRY THAT STAND UNITED, DIGNIFIED, FULL WITH JUSTICE, AND PROSPEROUS. Orang Indonesia tidak akan terpengaruh dengan ketakutan dan kebencian yang disebarkan para teroris. Kita akan membentuk cita-cita generasi pendahulu: membentuk negara merdeka, bersatu, berdaulat, adil, dan makmur.
