CONFLICT OF SYRIA (Hasrul)

The Middle East is a central of Islam in the world. But a lot of problems are happening there, which regard of religion, belief, and politic. For instance, Syria armed conflict between Sunni and Syiah that has been beginning 2 years ago up to now. Syria is headed by Bashar Al Assad who is Syiah and also whose family has held the presidency in Syria since 1971. There is an ongoing debate about the core of this problem whether this conflict is happening because holding a brief for Islam or politic interest or Kabilalism.
It is believed that if someone who died in the war in holding a brief for Islam, it means that they become a Mujahidin and they will be submitted to the heaven. This doctrine becomes a big influence in reaching military. It is proven by victims, according to various opposition activist groups, around 72.960 to 96.430 people have been killed, of which about half were civilians, but also includes 58.500 armed combatants consisting of both the Syrian Army and rebel forces, up to 1.000 opposition protesters and 1.000 government officials. By October 2012, up to 28.000 people had been reported missing, including civilians forcibly abducted by government troops or security forces.
Furthermore, politic interest also becomes a prognostic. Because, Bashar Al-Assad’s regime has held the presidency in Syria since 1971, up to now and He is Syiah. By these complications, the Syrians are doing demonstration as the manifestation of abhorrence to Bashar Al-Assad’s. Mostly, the demonstration or opposition of government is Sunni. The world has known Sunni and Syiah are two followers of Muhammad who never live peacefully.
Addition, according to Komaruddin Hidayat the war is still occurring in Syria because of kabilalism. Actually, the definition of Kabilalism has many meanings. But according to Komaruddin hidayat kabilalism is the action that the two groups are killing each other. For instance, the government (Bashar Al-Assad) attacks to the opposition which has 10 victims in that brunt. And of course, the opposition will do the same action; attacking Al Assad’s with intending the same number of victim. On the other hand, they are taking vengeance up to now.
To sum up, Mujahidin and calling Allahu Akbar are being dogma to face a good life in Syria, but actually, it is opposite with the reality in Syria. They are assassinating each other because politic interest and Kabilalism.
