VIVAnews - Otak memiliki ritme kerja teratur yang dipengaruhi jam biologis, pola tidur, sensitivitas cahaya, dan faktor keturunan. Ini seringkali membuat kondisi otak tak sesuai dengan aktivitas yang tengah dijalani.

Menyelaraskan aktivitas sehari-hari dengan ritme kerja otak pun menjadi penting demi mengoptimalkan kualitas hidup. Tak hanya menyehatkan, tapi juga membuat tubuh bugar, lebih berenergi dan tidak stres. Ini bukan hal aneh karena sistem tubuh diatur di otak.

Berikut ritme kerja otak yang berulang setiap 24 jam, seperti dikutip dari laman Shine:

Pukul 05.00 - 09.00 : Puaskan gairah seksual

"Saat yang paling tepat untuk bercinta adalah ketika Anda bangun tidur," ujar Ilia Karatsoreos, PhD, ahli saraf Universitas Rockefeller. Ini karena produksi hormon cinta atau oksitoksin yang melimpah ketika bangun tidur.

Pereliti asal Inggris telah membuktikan bahwa hormon oksitoksin di pagi hari pada pria akan menurun seiring datangnya siang. Demi kehidupan seksual yang lebih baik dan ikatan emosional lebih kuat, tidak ada salahnya bercinta sebelum memulai aktivitas di luar rumah.

09.00 - 11.00 : Maksimalkan kreativitas

"Pada jam ini, otak memiliki tingkat hormon stres atau kortisol yang rendah, sehingga Anda bisa lebih fokus dalam berpikir," ujar Sung Lee, MD, sekretaris International Brain Education Association.

Menurut penelitian Universitas Michigan, mahasiswa sampai pensiunan memiliki ketajaman berpikir yang sama di pagi hari, namun akan berkurang di sore hari. "Pada umur produktif, Anda akan lebih fokus di pagi hari," ujar Carolyn Yoon, PhD, salah satu peneliti.

Anda dapat memaksimalkan kerja otak Anda dengan membangung ide-ide baru, membuat presentasi, atau memecahkan suatu masalah, pada periode waktu ini.

11.00 - 14.00 : Selesaikan pekerjaan

Saat ini terjadi penurunan level hormon melatonin, hormon yang menyebabkan rasa kantuk. Artinya, Anda dapat mengerjakan banyak proyek. Para peneliti asal Jerman menemukan bahwa manusia dapat

melakukan banyak pekerjaan di siang hari.

Namun, kerjakan satu per satu tugas Anda. Jangan biarkan Anda tersesat dalam tumpukan tugas yang belum terselesaikan. Sebab, ini dapat mengakibatkan kebingungan pada otak dan Anda pun akan

kehilangan konsentrasi untuk menyelesaikan tugas-tugas Anda.

14.00 - 15.00 : Saatnya istirahat

"Untuk mencerna makanan, tubuh Anda akan mengarahkan aliran darah dari otak ke perut," ujar Sung Lee. Berdasarkan penelitian Unversitas Harvard, Anda akan merasakan kantuk dan malas setelah

makan karena jam biologis Anda berada pada fase terendah.

Lupakan sejenak pekerjaan. Tak harus tidur, Anda dapat membuka akun situs pertemanan atau membaca majalah. Jika Anda diharuskan bekerja, sempatkan sejenak menenggak segelas atau dua gelas air. Ini bisa memaksa perpindahan aliran darah dari perut ke otak. "Air meningkatkan volume darah dan sirkulasi, dan membuat aliran darah menuju otak," ujarnya.

15.00 - 18.00 : Berolahragalah!

"MUAMMAR GADDAFI" LIBYA BERGEJOLAG

Muammar Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi[variations] (Arabic: معمر القذافي‎ mʿmr alqḏāfī About this sound audio (help·info); born 7 June 1942), also known as Colonel Gaddafi, has been the leader of Libya since a coup in 1969.[1]

Muammar Al-Gaddafi

From 1972, when Gaddafi relinquished the title of prime minister, he has been accorded the honorific Brotherly Leader and Guide of the First of September Revolution of the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya in government statements and the official press.[2] With the death of Omar Bongo of Gabon on 8 June 2009, he became the longest serving of all current non-royal national leaders and he is one of the longest serving rulers in history. He is also the longest-serving ruler of Libya since Libya, then Tripoli, became an Ottoman province in 1551.[3] Gaddafi is reported to have amassed a fortune for himself and his family of 60 billion dollars, including shares in Tamoil and one of Italy's largest banks Unicredit.[4] In 2008 a group of more than 200 African kings and traditional rulers proclaimed Gaddafi King of Kings of Africa. [5]

In February 2011, major political protests (inspired by recent similar events in Tunisia, Egypt and other parts of the Arab world) broke out in Libya against Gaddafi's government, which quickly turned into a general uprising. As of February 23, 2011, Gaddafi is reported as having lost control of the eastern region of the country.[6]

On 1 September 1969, a small group of junior military officers led by Gaddafi staged a bloodless coup d'état against King Idris while he was in Turkey for medical treatment. His nephew, the Crown Prince Sayyid Hasan ar-Rida al-Mahdi as-Sanussi, had been formally deposed by the revolutionary army officers and put under house arrest; they abolished the monarchy and proclaimed the new Libyan Arab Republic.[10]

A plan was organised by David Stirling to use mercenaries to restore the monarchy after he was approached by a member of the royal family. The mercenaries were to "spring" 150 political prisoners from Tripoli gaol as a catalyst for a general uprising. The mercenaries were to slip away quietly, unseen by the media, as the locals took over. It was called the "Hilton Assignment" as an ironic comment on the comfort level at the gaol. Stirling was fairly confident that the plan was achievable and politically acceptable but he was warned off at a late stage by the British Secret Intelligence Service, allegedly because the United States Government felt that Gaddafi was sufficiently anti-Marxist to be worth protecting [11] [12].
Initial Policies

The 27-year-old Gaddafi, with a taste for safari suits and sunglasses, then sought to become the new "Che Guevara of the age".[13] To accomplish this Gaddafi turned Libya into a haven for anti-Western radicals, where any group, supposedly, could receive weapons and financial assistance, provided they claimed to be fighting imperialism.[13] The Italian population in Libya almost disappeared after Gaddafi ordered the expulsion of Italians in 1970.[14]

A Revolutionary Command Council was formed to rule the country, with Gaddafi as chairman. He added the title of prime minister in 1970, but gave up this title in 1972. Unlike some other military revolutionaries, Gaddafi did not promote himself to the rank of general upon seizing power, but rather accepted a ceremonial promotion from captain to colonel and has remained at this rank since then. While at odds with Western military ranking for a colonel to rule a country and serve as Commander-in-Chief of its military, in Gaddafi's own words Libya's society is "ruled by the people", so he needs no more grandiose title or supreme military rank.[1]
Islamic socialism and pan-Arabism
Gaddafi's Green Book

Gaddafi based his new regime on a blend of Arab nationalism,[15][16] aspects of the welfare state,[17][18][19] and what Gaddafi termed "popular democracy",[20] or more commonly "direct, popular democracy". He called this system "Islamic socialism", and, while he permitted private control over small companies, the government controlled the larger ones. Welfare, "liberation" (or “emancipation” depending on the translation),[21] and education[22] were emphasized. He also imposed a system of Islamic morals,[23][24] outlawing alcohol and gambling. Like previous revolutionary figures of the 20th century such as Mao and his Little Red Book, Gaddafi outlined his political philosophy in his Green Book to reinforce the ideals of this socialist-Islamic state and published it in three volumes between 1975 and 1979.[citation needed]

In 1977, Gaddafi proclaimed that Libya was changing its form of government from a republic to a "jamahiriya" – a neologism that means "mass-state" or "government by the masses". In theory, Libya became a direct democracy governed by the people[25] through local popular councils and communes.[26] At the top of this structure was the General People's Congress,[27] with Gaddafi as secretary-general. However, after only two years, Gaddafi gave up all of his governmental posts in keeping with the new egalitarian philosophy.[citation needed]

From time to time, Gaddafi has responded to domestic and external opposition with violence. His revolutionary committees called for the assassination of Libyan dissidents living abroad in April 1980, with Libyan hit squads sent abroad to murder them. On 26 April 1980, Gaddafi set a deadline of 11 June 1980 for dissidents to return home or be "in the hands of the revolutionary committees".[28]
External relations

With respect to Libya's neighbors, Gaddafi followed Gamal Abdel Nasser's ideas of pan-Arabism and became a fervent advocate of the unity of all Arab states into one Arab nation. He also supported pan-Islamism, the notion of a loose union of all Islamic countries and peoples. After Nasser's death on 28 September 1970, Gaddafi attempted to take up the mantle of ideological leader of Arab nationalism. He proclaimed the "Federation of Arab Republics" (Libya, Egypt, and Syria) in 1972, hoping to create a pan-Arab state, but the three countries disagreed on the specific terms of the merger. In 1974, he signed an agreement with Tunisia's Habib Bourguiba on a merger between the two countries, but this also failed to work in practice and ultimately differences between the two countries would deteriorate into strong animosity.

Libya was also involved in a sometimes violent territorial dispute with neighbouring Chad over the Aouzou Strip, which Libya occupied in 1973. This dispute eventually led to the Libyan invasion of the country and to a conflict that was ended by a ceasefire reached in 1987. The dispute was in the end settled peacefully in June 1994 when Libya withdrew troops from Chad due to a judgement of the International Court of Justice issued on 13 February 1994.[29]

Gaddafi also became a strong supporter of the Palestine Liberation Organization, which support ultimately harmed Libya's relations with Egypt, when in 1979 Egypt pursued a peace agreement with Israel. As Libya's relations with Egypt worsened, Gaddafi sought closer relations with the Soviet Union. Libya became the first country outside the Soviet bloc to receive the supersonic MiG-25 combat fighters, but Soviet-Libyan relations remained relatively distant. Gaddafi also sought to increase Libyan influence, especially in states with an Islamic population, by calling for the creation of a Saharan Islamic state and supporting anti-government forces in sub-Saharan Africa.

Notable in Gaddafi's politics has been his support for liberation movements, and also his sponsorship of rebel movements in West Africa, notably Sierra Leone and Liberia, as well as Muslim groups. In the 1970s and the 1980s, this support was sometimes so freely given that even the most unsympathetic groups could obtain Libyan support; often the groups represented ideologies far removed from Gaddafi's own. Gaddafi's approach often tended to confuse international opinion.

Throughout the 1970s, his regime was implicated in subversion and terrorist activities in both Arab and non-Arab countries. By the mid-1980s, he was widely regarded in the West as the principal financier of international terrorism. Reportedly, Gaddafi was a major financier of the "Black September Movement" which perpetrated the Munich massacre at the 1972 Summer Olympics, and was accused by the United States of being responsible for direct control of the 1986 Berlin discotheque bombing that killed three people and wounded more than 200, of whom a substantial number were U.S. servicemen.

Due to his anti-western policy, Gaddafi gained a negative reputation in western media and diplomatic circles. Referring to his criticism of moderate and pro-western Arab leaders, a US diplomat in 1974 remarked: "While he and his regime do not have reputation among Libyans for spilling blood, we suspect this zealot is capable of justifying in his own mind any attempt to assassinate [Egyptian President] Sadat."[30] On the other hand, Egyptian diplomat Omar Hefni Mahmoud, at a private conversation, characterized Gaddafi as "brash 'pure' young man who had not become corrupted by politics yet."[31] However, in 1976 another US diplomat referred to Gaddafi as "a more practical and pragmatic politician than we had given him credit for".[32]

Tensions between Libya and the West reached a peak during the Ronald Reagan administration, which tried to overthrow Gaddafi. The Reagan administration viewed Libya as a belligerent rogue state because of its uncompromising stance on Palestinian independence, its support for revolutionary Iran in the 1980–1988 war against Saddam Hussein's Iraq (see Iran–Iraq War), and its backing of liberation movements in the developing world. Reagan himself dubbed Gaddafi the "mad dog of the Middle East". In December 1981, the US State Department invalidated US passports for travel to Libya, and in March 1982, the U.S. declared a ban on the import of Libyan oil[33] and the export to Libya of U.S. oil industry technology; European nations did not follow suit. Libya has also been a supporter of the Polisario Front in their fight against Spanish colonialism and Moroccan military occupation.

In 1984, British police constable Yvonne Fletcher was shot outside the Libyan Embassy in London while policing an anti-Gaddafi demonstration. A burst of machine-gun fire from within the building was suspected of killing her, but Libyan diplomats asserted their diplomatic immunity and were repatriated. The incident led to the breaking off of diplomatic relations between the United Kingdom and Libya for over a decade.[34]

The U.S. attacked Libyan patrol boats from January to March 1986 during clashes over access to the Gulf of Sidra, which Libya claimed as territorial waters. On 15 April 1986, President Reagan ordered major bombing raids, dubbed Operation El Dorado Canyon, against Tripoli and Benghazi killing 45 Libyan military and government personnel as well as 15 civilians.[1] This strike followed U.S. interception of telex messages from Libya's East Berlin embassy suggesting Libyan government involvement in a bomb explosion on 5 April in West Berlin's La Belle discothèque, a nightclub frequented by U.S. servicemen. Among the alleged fatalities of 15 April retaliatory attack by the U.S. was Gaddafi's adopted daughter, Hannah. Libya responded by firing two Scud missiles at the U.S. Coast Guard navigation station on the Italian island of Lampedusa. The missiles landed in the sea, and caused no damage.[citation needed]

In late 1987, a merchant vessel, the MV Eksund, was intercepted. Destined for the Provisional IRA, a large consignment of arms and explosives supplied by Libya was recovered from the Eksund. British intelligence believed this was not the first and that Libyan arms shipments had previously reached the IRA. (See Provisional IRA arms importation.) It has also been alleged that Gaddafi was exporting weapons to the FARC rebel group in Colombia.

For most of the 1990s, Libya endured economic sanctions and diplomatic isolation as a result of Gaddafi's refusal to allow the extradition to the United States or Britain of two Libyans accused of planting a bomb on Pan Am Flight 103, which came down on Lockerbie, Scotland. Through the intercession of South African President Nelson Mandela – who made a high-profile visit to Gaddafi in 1997 – and UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, Gaddafi agreed in 1999 to a compromise that involved handing over the defendants to the Netherlands for trial under Scottish law.:[35] UN sanctions were thereupon suspended, but U.S. sanctions against Libya remained in force.

An alleged plot by Britain's secret intelligence service to assassinate Colonel Gaddafi, when rebels attacked Gaddafi's motorcade near the city of Sirte in February 1996, was described as "pure fantasy" by former foreign secretary Robin Cook, although the FCO later admitted: "We have never denied that we knew of plots against Gaddafi."[36]

After diplomatic negotiations held through the countries various secret services, led by Stephen Kappes of the CIA and Sir Mark Allen of MI6,[37] in August 2003, two years after Abdelbaset al-Megrahi's conviction, Libya wrote to the United Nations formally accepting 'responsibility for the actions of its officials' in respect of the Lockerbie bombing and agreed to pay compensation of up to US$2.7 billion – or up to US$10 million each – to the families of the 270 victims. The same month, Britain and Bulgaria co-sponsored a UN resolution which removed the suspended sanctions. (Bulgaria's involvement in tabling this motion led to suggestions that there was a link with the HIV trial in Libya in which 5 Bulgarian nurses, working at a Benghazi hospital, were accused in 1998 of infecting 426 Libyan children with HIV.)[38] Forty percent of the compensation was then paid to each family, and a further 40% followed once U.S. sanctions were removed. Because the U.S. refused to take Libya off its list of state sponsors of terrorism, Libya retained the last 20% ($540 million) of the $2.7 billion compensation package. In October 2008 Libya paid $1.5 billion into a fund which will be used to compensate relatives of the

   1. Lockerbie bombing victims with the remaining 20%;
   2. American victims of the 1986 Berlin discotheque bombing;
   3. American victims of the 1989 UTA Flight 772 bombing; and,
   4. Libyan victims of the 1986 US bombing of Tripoli and Benghazi.

In exchange, President Bush signed Executive Order 13477 restoring the Libyan government's immunity from terror-related lawsuits and dismissing all of the pending compensation cases in the US, the White House said.[39]

On 28 June 2007, Megrahi was granted the right to a second appeal against the Lockerbie bombing conviction.[40] One month later, the Bulgarian medics were released from jail in Libya. They returned home to Bulgaria and were pardoned by Bulgarian president, Georgi Parvanov.
With then-President of Russia Vladimir Putin in 2008

In September, 2008, U.S. Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice became the first Secretary of State to visited Libya since 1953 and said about the visit; "It demonstrates that when countries are prepared to make strategic changes in direction, the United States is prepared to respond."[41]

Gaddafi's 2009 welcome to the return of convicted Lockerbie bomber Megrahi, who was released from prison on compassionate grounds, attracted criticism from Western leaders[42][43][44] and has disrupted his first-ever visit to the United States to attend a UN General Session. Gaddafi often resides in a tent when travelling.[45] His plans to erect a tent in Central Park and on Libyan government property in Englewood, New Jersey during Gaddafi's stay at the UN were both protested by community leaders and subsequently cancelled by Gaddafi.[46][47][48] His tent was moved to an estate belonging to Donald Trump in Bedford, until the local government issued a work stop order, claiming the tent needed a permit, and Trump told him to go elsewhere.[49][50]

23 September 2009 marked Gaddafi's first appearance at the United Nations General Assembly where he addressed world leaders at the annual gathering in New York. The Libyan leader while demanding representation for the African Union, used the occasion to scold the United Nations structure saying the 15-member body practised “security feudalism” for those who had a protected seat.[51] The Libyan leader's appearance at the United Nations generated demonstrations both for and against Gaddafi.[52]
Openness

    "In his four decades as Libya's 'Brother Leader', Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has gone from being the epitome of revolutionary chic to an eccentric statesman with entirely benign relations with the West."
    — David Blair, diplomatic editor for The Daily Telegraph[13]

Gaddafi also appeared to be attempting to improve his image in the West. Two years prior to the 11 September 2001 attacks, Libya pledged its commitment to fighting al-Qa'ida and offered to open up its weapons programme to international inspection. The Bush administration did not pursue the offer at the time since Libya's weapons program was not then regarded as a threat, and the matter of handing over the Lockerbie bombing suspects took priority. Following the attacks of 11 September, Gaddafi made one of the first, and firmest, denunciations of the Al-Qaeda bombers by any Muslim leader. Gaddafi also appeared on ABC for an open interview with George Stephanopoulos, a move that would have seemed unthinkable less than a decade earlier.

Following the overthrow of Saddam Hussein by US forces in 2003, Gaddafi announced that his nation had an active weapons of mass destruction program, but was willing to allow international inspectors into his country to observe and dismantle them. US President George W. Bush and other supporters of the Iraq War portrayed Gaddafi's announcement as a direct consequence of the Iraq War by stating that Gaddafi acted out of fear for the future of his own regime if he continued to keep and conceal his weapons. Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi, a supporter of the Iraq War, was quoted as saying that Gaddafi had privately phoned him, admitting as much. Many foreign policy experts, however, contend that Gaddafi's announcement was merely a continuation of his prior attempts at normalizing relations with the West and getting the sanctions removed. To support this, they point to the fact that Libya had already made similar offers starting four years prior to it finally being accepted.[53][54] International inspectors turned up several tons of chemical weaponry in Libya, as well as an active nuclear weapons program. As the process of destroying these weapons continued, Libya improved its cooperation with international monitoring regimes to the extent that, by March 2006, France was able to conclude an agreement with Libya to develop a significant nuclear power program.

In March 2004, British PM Tony Blair became one of the first Western leaders in decades to visit Libya and publicly meet Gaddafi. Blair praised Gaddafi's recent acts, and stated that he hoped Libya could now be a strong ally in the international War on Terrorism. In the run-up to Blair's visit, the British ambassador in Tripoli, Anthony Layden, explained Libya's and Gaddafi's political change thus:

    "35 years of total state control of the economy has left them in a situation where they're simply not generating enough economic activity to give employment to the young people who are streaming through their successful education system. I think this dilemma goes to the heart of Colonel Gaddafi's decision that he needed a radical change of direction."[55]

On 15 May 2006, the US State Department announced that it would restore full diplomatic relations with Libya, once Gaddafi declared he was abandoning Libya's weapons of mass destruction program. The State Department also said that Libya would be removed from the list of nations supporting terrorism.[56] On 31 August 2006, however, Gaddafi openly called upon his supporters to "kill enemies" of his revolution and anyone who asks for political change within Libya.[57]

In July 2007, French president Nicolas Sarkozy visited Libya and signed a number of bilateral and multilateral (EU) agreements with Gaddafi.[58]

On 4 March 2008 Gaddafi announced his intention to dissolve the country's existing administrative structure and disburse oil revenue directly to the people. The plan includes abolishing all ministries, except those of defence, internal security, and foreign affairs, and departments implementing strategic projects.[59]

In June 2008, Gaddafi strongly criticised US presidential candidate Barack Obama for saying Jerusalem should remain the undivided capital of Israel, "The statements of our Kenyan brother of American nationality, Obama, on Jerusalem ... show that he either ignores international politics and did not study the Middle East conflict or that it is a campaign lie."[60]

In September 2008, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice visited Libya and met with Gaddafi as part of a North African tour. This was the first visit to Libya by a US Secretary of State since 1953.[61]

In January 2009, Gaddafi contributed an editorial to the New York Times, suggesting that he was in favor of a single-state solution to the Israeli and Palestinian conflicts that moved beyond old conflicts and looked to a unified future of shared culture and mutual respect.[62]
Cooperation with Italy

On 30 August 2008, Gaddafi and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi signed a landmark cooperation treaty in Benghazi.[63][64][65] Under its terms, Italy will pay $5 billion to Libya as compensation for its former military occupation. In exchange, Libya will take measures to combat illegal immigration coming from its shores and boost investments in Italian companies.[64][66] The treaty was ratified by Italy on 6 February 2009,[63] and by Libya on 2 March, during a visit to Tripoli by Berlusconi.[64][67] In June Gaddafi made his first visit to Rome, where he met Prime Minister Berlusconi, President Giorgio Napolitano and Senate President Renato Schifani; Chamber President Gianfranco Fini cancelled the meeting because of Gaddafi's delay.[64] The Democratic Party and Italy of Values opposed the visit,[68][69] and many protests were staged throughout Italy by human rights organizations and the Radical Party.[70] Gaddafi also took part in the G8 summit in L'Aquila in July as Chairman of the African Union.[64] During the summit a handshake between US President Barack Obama and Muammar Gaddafi marked the first time the Libyan leader had been greeted by a serving US president.[71] Then at the official dinner offered by Italian President Giorgio Napolitano, Berlusconi, the Italian Prime Minister and G8 host, overturned protocol at the last moment by having Gaddafi sit next to him (just two places away from President Obama, seated on Berlusconi's right).[72][73][74][75][76]

During a two-day visit to Italy in August 2010 Gaddafi upset his hosts by stating that Europe should convert to Islam. It was during a lecture in front of 200 young women whom Gaddafi had paid a modeling agency to attend that he urged the women to convert to Islam and, according to one of them, said "Islam should become the religion of all of Europe." Each of the women was given a copy of the Qur'an.[77] Gaddafi, in a speech that aired on Al-Jazeera TV on April 10, 2006, said: "There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe - without swords, without guns, without conquests. The 50 million Muslims of Europe will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades."[78][79]
Pan-Africanism
Gaddafi at the 12th African Union summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, February 2, 2009

Gaddafi has also emerged as a controversial African leader. As one of the continent's longest-serving post-colonial heads of state, the Libyan leader enjoys a reputation among many Africans as a maverick statesman. In February 2009, upon being elected chairman of the African Union in Ethiopia, Gaddafi told the assembled African leaders: "I shall continue to insist that our sovereign countries work to achieve the United States of Africa."[80] Gaddafi is also seen by many Africans as a humanitarian, pouring large amounts of money into sub-Saharan states. Large numbers of Africans have come to Libya to take advantage of the availability of jobs there, despite the weak private sector.

His views on African political and military unification have received a relatively lukewarm response from other African governments. On 29 August 2008, Gaddafi held a public ceremony in Benghazi in the presence of over 200 African traditional rulers and kingsin which he proclaimed himself to be "King of Kings of Africa" as part of a grassroots effort to encourage African heads of state and government to join with Gaddafi toward a greater political cohesion.[81] This event was followed on 1 February 2009 by a coronation ceremony in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to coincide with the 53rd African Union Summit, at which he was elected head of the African Union for the year.[82] His January 2009 forum for African kings, however, was cancelled by the Ugandan government (Uganda was to host the forum), since the invitation of traditional rulers to discussion of political affairs contravened Uganda's current constitution, and according to Ugandan foreign ministry spokesperson James Mugume, could have led to instability.[83]

The title of "King of Kings" was reiterated by Gaddafi at the 2009 Arab League Summit, at which he claimed to be the King of Kings, "leader of the Arab leaders" and "imam of the Muslims" in his criticism of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia prior to storming out of the summit.[84]

Notwithstanding his claims of concern for his African roots, Gaddafi has often expressed an overt contempt for the Berbers, a non-Arab people of North Africa, and for their language, maintaining that the very existence of Berbers in North Africa is a myth created by colonialists. He adopted several measures forbidding the use of Berber, and often attacks this language in official speeches, with statements like: "If your mother transmits you this language, she nourishes you with the milk of the colonialist, she feeds you their poison" (1985).[85]

Gaddafi has defended the actions of Somalian pirates, "It is a response to greedy Western nations, who invade and exploit Somalia’s water resources illegally. It is not a piracy, it is self defence... If they (Western nations) do not want to live with us fairly, it is our planet and they can go to other planet."[86]
'NATO of the South'

In September 2009, at the Second Africa-South America Summit on Isla Margarita in Venezuela, Colonel Gaddafi joined the host, Hugo Chávez, in calling for an "anti-imperialist" front way across Africa and Latin America. Gaddafi proposed the establishment of a South Atlantic Treaty Organization to rival NATO, saying: "The world’s powers want to continue to hold on to their power. Now we have to fight to build our own power."[87]
Expulsion of Palestinians

In 1995, Gaddafi expelled some 30,000 Palestinians living in Libya, in response to the peace negotiations that had commenced between Israel and the PLO.[88]
The February 17th Protest
Main article: 2011 Libyan protests

On February 17th of 2011, major political protests (inspired by recent similar events in Tunisia, Egypt, and elsewhere in the Arab world) were called to begin in Libya against Gaddafi's government. During the following week, these protests continued to gain significantly in momentum and size despite stiff resistance from the Gaddafi regime. Unlike the former leaders of Tunisia and Egypt, Gaddafi has vowed to "fight to the death" in defense of his leadership of the country, and has responded to the unrest with large scale and violent military and police crackdowns in the cities of Benghazi and Tripoli, which include the use of artillery and warplanes against protesters. By late February, the country appeared to be rapidly descending into chaos as a 'credible' death toll is reported to now be approaching 1,000.[89]

Gaddafi is reported to have imported foreign mercenaries to defend his regime, and large swaths of the country, particularly in Eastern Libya, are reported to have fallen into the hands of anti-Gaddafi elements.[90] Former top officials, including Gaddafi's former "number two" man, Interior Minister General Abdel Fattah Younes al-Abidi, the former justice minister, and several key ambassadors and diplomats have resigned their posts in protest over Gaddafi's heavy handed response to the demonstrators. General Al-Abidi has issued a plea to whatever military personnel may still feel some loyalty towards Gaddafi to "join the people in the intifada." Already, he said, "many members" of the security forces had defected, including those in the capital, Tripoli.[91]

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she considered Gaddafi's Tuesday speech as the equivalent of "him declaring war on his own people".[89]
UN General Assembly speech

On 23 September 2009, Colonel Gaddafi addressed the 64th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, his first visit to the United States, in part because a Libyan diplomat, Ali Treki, has just become president of the General Assembly for 2009–10.[92] Gaddafi spoke for one hour and 36 minutes.[93] A translation of the speech courtesy of Jamahiriya News Agency (JANA) the official Libyan news agency, is available on the internet.[94]

Gaddafi spoke in favor of the preamble to the United Nations Charter, but rejected several provisions of the rest of the Charter; and criticized the United Nations for failing to prevent 65 wars, and invited the General Assembly to investigate the wars that the Security Council had not authorized, and for those responsible to be brought before the International Criminal Court. He also defended the Taliban and Somali Pirates. He also claimed that a foreign military was responsible for the H1N1 outbreak, accused Israel of assassinating John F. Kennedy, and called for a one-state solution for Palestine and Israel, and referred to Barack Obama as "son of Africa".[95]

Following Colonel Gaddafi's speech, in which he criticized the UN Security Council (UNSC) calling it the "Terror Council",[96] Gaddafi failed to attend a special Security Council heads-of-state meeting on 24 September 2009, when a resolution calling for a reduction in the number of nuclear weapons was passed unanimously.[97]
Disappearance of Imam Musa al-Sadr

In August 1978, the Lebanese Shia leader Musa al-Sadr and two companions departed for Libya to meet with government officials. They were never heard from again. At the time, Musa al-Sadr founded Amal Movement, a liberal-Shia Lebanese resistance movement (which later went on to oppose the Israeli invasion of Lebanon). However Amal Movement became powerful much to the annoyance of the PLO which was based primarily in south Lebanon. Libya has consistently denied responsibility, claiming that al-Sadr and his companions left Libya for Italy. Some others have reported that he remains secretly in jail in Libya. Al-Sadr's disappearance continues to be a major dispute between Lebanon and Libya. Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri claimed that the Libyan regime, and particularly the Libyan leader, were responsible for the disappearance of Imam Musa Sadr, London-based Asharq Al-Awsat, a Saudi-run pan-Arab daily reported on 27 August 2006.

According to Iranian General Mansour Qadar, the then head of Syrian security, Rifaat al-Assad, told the Iranian ambassador to Syria that Gaddafi was planning to kill al-Sadr. On 27 August 2008, Gaddafi was indicted in Lebanon for al-Sadr's disappearance.[98]
Internal dissent
Main article: Libyan opposition

In October 1993, there was an unsuccessful assassination attempt on Gaddafi by elements of the Libyan army. On 14 July 1996, a football match in Tripoli, organised by his son, was followed by bloody riots as a protest against Gaddafi.

There are a number of political groups opposed to Gaddafi:

    * National Conference of the Libyan Opposition
    * National Front for the Salvation of Libya
    * Committee for Libyan National Action in Europe

A website, actively seeking his overthrow, was set up in 2006 and lists 343 victims of murder and political assassination.[99]

The Libyan League for Human Rights – based in Geneva – petitioned Gaddafi to set up an independent inquiry into the February 2006 unrest in Benghazi in which some 30 Libyans and foreigners were killed.

Fathi Eljahmi was a prominent dissident who was imprisoned from 2002 until his death in 2009 for calling for increased democratization in Libya.

As of February 2011, as part of the 2010–2011 Middle East and North Africa protests, the 2011 Libyan protests are ongoing, and have become a mass uprising against Gaddafi, who has lost control of some parts of the country. Gaddafi's opponents have accused him of using foreign African mercenaries to massacre them. Gaddafi's former justice minister, Mustafa Abdel-Jalil, has told the Swedish newspaper Expressen that he has evidence that Gaddafi had personally ordered the Lockerbie bombing of 1988.
Public works projects
Great Manmade River
Main article: Great Manmade River

The Great Manmade River is a network of pipes that supplies 6,500,000 m³ of fresh water per day from beneath the Sahara Desert, from the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System fossil aquifer, to the cities in the north of Libya, including Tripoli, Benghazi and Sirt.[100] The project consists of more than 1,300 wells, most more than 500 m deep. According to the 2008 edition of Guinness Book of Records, it is the world's largest irrigation project.[citation needed]

The first phase of construction started in 1984, and cost about $5 billion. The completed project may total $25 billion.

Muammar al-Gaddafi has described it as the "Eighth Wonder of the World" and presented the project as a gift to the Third World.[citation needed]
Astronomical observatory

The Libyan National Telescope Project, costing nearly 10 million euros, was ordered by Muammar al-Gaddafi, who has a passionate interest in astronomy. The robotic telescope, which will be two metres in diameter and remote-controlled, will be built by France's REOSC,[101] the optical department of the SAGEM Group.

It will be housed in an air-conditioned building, with a network of four weather stations deployed at a distance of 10 kilometers around it to warn of impending sandstorms that could damage its fragile optics.[102] A desert site at 2200 meters above sea level near Kufra may be chosen as the location for the observatory, which will be North Africa's largest astronomical observatory.
Personal life and family

He is married to Safia Farkash, nee el-Brasai, former nurse from Al Bayda, who is his second wife.[103][104][105] Gaddafi has eight biological children, seven of them sons. He has also adopted two children, Hanna and Milad.[106][107]
Mutassim Gaddafi with Hillary Clinton, Treaty Room, Washington, DC, April 21, 2009

    * His eldest son, Muhammad al-Gaddafi, was born to a wife now in disfavour, but runs the Libyan Olympic Committee.[103]
    * The next eldest son, by his second wife Safia, is Saif al-Islam Muammar Al-Gaddafi, who was born in 1972 and is an architect. He runs a charity (GIFCA) which has been involved in negotiating freedom for hostages taken by Islamic militants, especially in the Philippines. In 2006, after sharply criticizing his father's regime, Saif Al-Islam briefly left Libya, reportedly to take on a position in banking outside of the country. He returned to Libya soon after, launching an environment-friendly initiative to teach children how they can help clean up parts of Libya. He is involved in compensation negotiations with Italy and the United States.
    * The third eldest, Saadi Gaddafi, is married to the daughter of a military commander. Saadi runs the Libyan Football Federation and signed for various professional teams including Italian Serie A team U.C. Sampdoria, although without appearing in first team games.
    * Gaddafi's fourth son, Moatessem-Billal Gaddafi, was a Lieutenant Colonel in the Libyan Army. He now serves as Libya's National Security Advisor, in which capacity he oversees the nation's National Security Council. His name مُعْتَصِمٌ (بِٱللّٰهِ) /muʿtaṣimu-n (bi l-lāhi)/ can be latinized as Mutassim, Moatessem or Moatessem-Billah. Saif Al-Islam and Moatessem-Billah are both seen as possible successors to their father.[citation needed]
    * The fifth eldest, Hannibal Muammar Gaddafi, once worked for General National Maritime Transport Company, a company that specializes in Libyan oil exports. He is most notable for being involved in a series of violent incidents throughout Europe. In 2001, Hannibal attacked three Italian policemen with a fire extinguisher; in September 2004, he was briefly detained in Paris after driving a Porsche at 90 mph in the wrong direction and through red lights down the Champs-Élysées while intoxicated; and in 2005, Hannibal in Paris allegedly beat model and then girlfriend Alin Skaf, who later filed an assault suit against him.[108] He was fined and given a four month suspended prison sentence after this incident. In December 2009 police were called to Claridges Hotel in London after staff heard a scream from Hannibal's room. Aline Skaf, now his wife, was found to have suffered facial injuries including a broken nose, but charges were not pressed after she maintained she had sustained the injuries in a fall.[109] On 15 July 2008, Hannibal and his wife were held for two days and charged with assaulting two of their staff in Geneva, Switzerland and then released on bail on 17 July. The government of Libya subsequently put a boycott on Swiss imports, reduced flights between Libya and Switzerland, stopped issuing visas to Swiss citizens, recalled diplomats from Bern, and forced all Swiss companies such as ABB and Nestlé to close offices. General National Maritime Transport Company, which owns a large refinery in Switzerland, also halted oil shipments to Switzerland.[110] Two Swiss businessmen who were in Libya at the time have, ever since, been denied permission to leave the country, and even held hostage for some time.[111] (see Switzerland-Libya conflict). At the 35th G8 summit in July 2009, Gaddafi called Switzerland a "world mafia" and called for the country to be split between France, Germany and Italy.[112]
    * Gaddafi's two youngest sons are Saif Al Arab and Khamis. Khamis is a police officer in Libya.
    * Gaddafi's only daughter is Ayesha al-Gaddafi, a lawyer who had joined the defense teams of executed former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zaidi.[103] She married a cousin of her father in 2006.
    * His adopted daughter, Hanna, was killed in the April 1986 United States bombing of Libya. At a "concert for peace", held on 15 April 2006 in Tripoli to mark the 20th anniversary of the bombing raid, U.S. singer Lionel Richie told the audience:

    "Hanna will be honoured tonight because of the fact that you've attached peace to her name."[113]

    * His adopted son, Milad Abuztaia Al-Gaddafi is also his nephew. Milad is credited with saving Gaddafi's life during the April 1986 bombing of the Gaddafi compound.
    * Gaddafi's brother-in-law Abdullah Senussi‎, who is married to his wife's sister, is believed to be his head of military intelligence.[114]

The family's main residence is on the Bab al-Azizia military barracks, located in the southern suburbs of Tripoli.

In January 2002, Gaddafi purchased a 7.5% share of Italian football club Juventus for USD 21 million, through Lafico ("Libyan Arab Foreign Investment Company"). This followed a long-standing association with the Italian industrialist Gianni Agnelli and car manufacturer Fiat.[115]

Gaddafi holds an honorary degree from Megatrend University in Belgrade conferred on him by former Yugoslav President Zoran Lilić.[116]

Muammar Gaddafi fears flying over water, prefers staying on the ground floor and almost never travels without his trusted Ukrainian nurse Galyna Kolotnytska, a “voluptuous blonde,” according to a US document released by WikiLeaks late 2010. Galyna's daughter has denied the suggestion that the relationship is anything but professional.[117]

"PKS SIAP KELUAR DARI KOALISI"

Hidayat Nur Wahid

Jumat, 25 Febuary 2011. Liputan6.com, Sleman: Hidayat Nur Wahid mengatakan, dukungan Partai Keadilan Sejahtera atau PKS terhadap hak angket kasus mafia pajak dan angket Bank Century bukan untuk menjatuhkan Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. "Dukungan PKS terhadap dua angket tersebut bukan untuk menjatuhkan Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono," kata mantan Presiden PKS itu di Sleman, Yogyakarta, Kamis (24/2) malam, usai mengikuti pembukaan Mukernas PKS. Menurut Hidayat, dukungan itu untuk melaksanakan kontrak politik. "Yakni, menciptakan pemerintahan yang bersih," ucapnya.

PKS, tambahnya, siap keluar dari koalisi jika memang dibutuhkan dalam konsistensi kontrak politik tersebut. "Namun, kami tidak yakin jika karena mendukung angket tersebut akan membuat PKS terancam dan kadernya di kabinet direshuffle," tutur hidayat. Ia mengatakan, jika PKS keluar dari koalisi siapa yang akan masuk menggantikannya. "Kalau PDI Perjuangan yang masuk, itu jelas akan membingungkan publik karena selama ini mereka yang mengusulkan dua angket itu (Century dan Pajak)," cetusnya. "Sehingga sangat disayangkan dengan langkah itu."

Mantan ketua MPR ini tidak yakin hanya karena polemik di dua angket tersebut, PKS terancam dan direshuffle dari kabinet. "Saya kira beliau (Presiden Yudhoyono-Red) punya pemikiran yang panjang, tak serta merta hanya soal dua ini lalu merombak kabinet," ujar Hidayat. "Karena tujuan kami sebenarnya untuk memperkokoh koalisi dan membuat citranya semakin baik mewujudkan pemerintahan yang bersih."
Hal senada juga disampaikan Menteri Komunikasi dan Informatika Tifatul Sembiring yang menyatakan PKS siap keluar dari koalisi dan juga direshufle dari kabinet Indonesia Bersatu II. "Langkah kami mendukung dua angket itu bukan untuk menjatuhkan SBY, tapi melaksanakan kontrak politik mewujudkan pemerintahan yang baik dan bersih," kata Tifatul.

Tifatul menambahkan, perombakan kabinet hak prerogatif presiden yang tidak bisa diotak-atik sehingga semuanya diserahkan kepada presiden. "Kami serahkan semua itu ke presiden, yang jelas sekarang tetap bekerja sebaik-baiknya sesuai bidang yang ada," ucapnya.(BOG/ANT)

Halimah-Bambang Trihatmodjo|Foto: dok C&R

Jakarta-C&R/OMG-Hampir empat tahun Halimah Agustina Kamil berjuang mati-matian untuk menjaga keutuhan rumahtangganya dengan Bambang Trihatmodjo. Namun, perjuangan ibu tiga anak dan nenek dua cucu harus berakhir setelah Mahkamah Agung mengabulkan perhomohon Peninjauan Kembali Bambang Trihatmodjo. Berikut kronologis perceraian Bambang-Halimah.

21 Mei 2007

Bambang Trihatmojo mengajukan permohonan cerai talak terhadap istrinya, Halimah Agustina Kamil, melalui Pengadilan Agama Jakarta Pusat. Permohonan cerai itu didaftarkan oleh kuasa hukumnya, Juan Felix Tampubolon.

19 Juni 2007

Sidang pertama perceraian Bambang–Halimah digelar di Pengadilan Agama Jakarta Pusat. Sidang dipimpin Dr. H.M. Arsyad Mawardi, S.H, M.Hum, dengan hakim anggota Elvin Nailana, S.H, M.H, dan Dra. Azzah Hadi. Dalam sidang pertama itu, Halimah menolak untuk dicerai. Bahkan Gendis Siti Hatmanti yang dihadirkan sebagai saksi – pada sidang berikutnya – sambil menahan tangis, memohon sekaligus mewakili kedua adiknya, Panji dan Aditya, agar majelis menyelamatkan keluarganya.

12 November 2007

Halimah membuat terobosan hukum baru dalam perkara perceraian di Indonesia. Melalui kuasa hukumnya, Leliana Santosa, SH., Halimah mengajukan permohonan sita marital (marital beslag) ke Pengadilan Agama Jakarta Pusat.

16 Januari 2008

Majelis hakim mengabulkan permohonan cerai talak Bambang Trihatmjo. “Ikatan perkawinan sudah rapuh. Keduanya sudah tidak ada ikatan batin, dan tidak ada kecocokan satu sama lain,” ujar Ketua Majelis Hakim Dr. H.M. Arsyad Mawardi, S.H, M.Hum, saat membacakan putusan.

24 Maret 2008

Halimah mengajukan banding ke Pengadilan Tinggi Agama Jakarta. Dalam berkas memori banding setebal 38 halaman, Halimah menilai putusan hakim tingkat pertama tidak adil.

23 September 2008

Pengadilan Agama Jakarta mengabulkan sita marital yang diajukan Halimah. Lima majelis hakim : Drs. H. Alizar Jas,S.H., M.H., sebagai ketua dengan hakim anggota Dra. Erni Zurnila, Drs. Nuheri, S.H., Drs. Faisal Kamil, S.H., M.H., dan Drs. Abdurrahim, M.H., merasa perlu mengamankan harta bersama Bambang – Halimah agar tidak tercecer ke Mayangsari.

24 September 2008

Pengadilan Tinggi Agama Jakarta, mengabulkan permohonan banding Halimah selaku pembanding. Majelis hakim yang dipimpin Drs. H. A. Nawawi Ali, S.H., dengan hakim anggota; Drs. H. A. Mukti Arto, S.H, M.Hum., dan Drs. H. Nooruddin Zakaria,S.H., menyatakan permohonan Bambang untuk menjatuhkan talak terhadap istrinya, Halimah dinilai oleh hakim sangat kabur dan tidak jelas atau dalam istilah hukum disebut obscoor libel.

25 November 2008

Bambang melakukan perlawanan hukum dengan mengajukan kasasi ke Mahkamah Agung.

4 Agustus 2009

Mahkamah Agung menolak kasasi Bambang. Majelis hakim yang dipimpin Drs. H. Andi Syamsul Alam, S.H, M.H, dengan hakim anggota Prof. DR. H. Abdul Manan, S.H, S.IP, M.Hum, dan Prof. DR. Rifyai Ka’bah, MA., menilai hakim di tingkat tinggi tidak salah dalam menerapkan hukum. Putusan itu sekaligus menguatkan putusan Pengadilan Tinggi Agama (PTA) Jakarta yang memenangkan banding Halimah, dan menempatkan posisi Halimah sebagai istri sah dari Bambang Trihatmodjo.

1 Juli 2010

Bambang mengajukan Peninjauan Kembali (PK) ke Mahkamah Agung. Bambang mengajukan PK melalui kuasa hukumnya yang baru : Law Firm Lucas, S.H, & Patners.

23 Desember 2010

Mahkamah Agung mengabulkan Peninjauan Kembali yang diajukan Bambang. Perselisihan yang terus menerus antara Bambang dan Halimah, telah pisah ranjang sejak tahun 2006, dan kemudian pisah tempat tinggal menjadi pertimbangan hukum bagi hakim dalam memutus upaya hukum terakhir ini. Majelis hakim yang menyidangkan kasus ini diketuai H. Drs. Habiburrahman, M.Hum, dengan hakim anggota H. Drs. Muchtar Zamzami, S.H.,M.Hum, dan Drs. Hamdan, S.H., M.H.

KELUARGA YANG DEMOKRATIS By Rosita S.Priyadi

Gbr. Rosita S.Priyadi

Keluarga yang demokratis adalah keluarga yang mengutamakan prinsip kebebasan dengan menjalankan prinsip demokrasi dalam segala aspek aktifitas rumah tangga. Orang tua secara konsisten betul-betul menghormati dan menghargai anak sebagai individu yang utuh secara lahir batin, tidak sedikitpun berkeinginan mengarahkannya secara otoriter. Anak diberi kesempatan untuk berkembang secara mandiri dan mengambil keputusan sendiri, dan mengupayakan kemerdekaannya sendiri.

Ciri keluarga yang demokratis:

1. Orang tua menghormati dan menghargai pribadi anak secara utuh
2. Orang tua selalu berupaya mengembangkan kepribadian anak dan menganggapnya sebagai pribadi yang memiliki potensi dan kemampuan untuk mengembangkan dirinya secara mandiri.
3. Orang tua memberi kesempatan kepada anak untuk berpikir, berekspresi, berkreasi dan memilih jenis pekerjaannya sendiri secara bebas tanpa paksaan sedikitpun. Akan tetapi, kebebasan yang diberikan masih dalam koridor kebaikan bersama dan dalam tujuan-tujuan yang bersifat umum tentunya. Dalam kata lain, kebebasan yang diberikan bukan tanpa batas, melainkan dibatasi dengan rammbu-rambu sosial dan syariat agama yang harus dilakoni oleh anak.

Dengan demikian keluarga yang demokratis itu sangat kental dengan nuansa kebersamaan, membangkitkan dan menimbulkan hal-hal positif, dinamis dan terus bergerak dalam suasana harmonis penuh kasih sayang serta saling membantu di antara anggota keluarga. Pola sketsa yang diterapkan dalam rumah tangga atau keluarga yang demokratis tentunya akan memotivasi lahirnya anak-anak yang mampu menopang beban dan tanggung jawab kehidupan. Juga anak-anak ideal yang sanggup berpikir secara sehat, saling membantu, dan bangkit bersama-sama dengan lingkungan masyarakatnya.

Pelajar Aceh Tolak Perayaan "Valentine Day" - Yahoo! Indonesia News

 Pelajar Aceh Tolak Perayaan "Valentine Day"

Gbr, Pelajar Aceh tolak "Valentine day"

Senin, 14 Febuary 2011, Banda Aceh (ANTARA) - Puluhan pelajar yang tergabung dalam Kesatuan Aksi Pelajar Muslim Indonesia (KAPMI) menolak perayaan "valentine day" karena dinilai bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam.

"Hari valentine yang dirayakan setiap 14 Februari itu bukan budaya Indonesia dan bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam serta lebih banyak mudharat dibandingkan manfaatnya," kata Ketua DPP KAPMI Aceh, Muhammad Zamzami di Banda Aceh, Minggu. Untuk menentang penolakan perayaan hari kasih sayang itu, para aktivis KAPMI yang didominasi remaja putri menggelar aksi damai sambil berorasi di bundaran Simpang Lima Banda Ace.

Dalam aksi yang mendapat pengawalan aparat keamanan, aktivis KAPMI juga membagi-bagikan selebaran penolakan perayaan hari valentine.

Zamzami mengatakan valentine itu bukan ajaran Islam, bukan budaya Indonesia dan bukan juga budaya Aceh tapi tradisi bangsa lain dapat merusak akhlak dan keimanan. Menurutny, perayaan valentine juga akan membuang tenaga, uang dan parahnya lagi banyak remaja yang memanfaatkan hari itu untuk berbuatan zina. Aktivis KAPMI itu minta Pemerintah melalui Dinas Syariat Islam dan Wilayatul Hisbah (WH) serta para orang tua untuk mensosialisasikan bahwa hari valentine itu tidak dibenarkan dalam ajaran Islam. Pemerintah dan ulama juga diminta mengeluarkan fatwa melarang perayaan valentine didaerah yang telah memberlakukan hukum syariat islam itu.

"Dengan didasari Peraturan daerah (qanun) tentang syariat Islam, saya kira pemerintah dan ulama dapat mengeluarkan fatwa atau imbauan melarang adanya kegiatan hura-hura pada perayaan valentine itu," katanya.

Ia juga mengatakan banyak pelajar Muslim ikut-ikut merayakan hari valentine bahkan ucapan "selamat hari valentine" menjadi kalimat berharga dan wajib diucapkan pada setiap 14 Februari.

"Tidak hanya mengucapkan selamat hari valentine, mereka juga saling kirim kartu dan bunga, menghadiahi berbagai asesoris yang melambangkan hari valentine. Ini mereka lakukan karena tidak mengetahui latar belakang atau sejarah lahir hari kasih sayang bagi warga non-Muslim," kata Muhammad Zamzami.

SUSAH CARI MAHASISWA MISKIN Posted by Slamet Priyadi

Kampus Negeri Susah Cari Mahasiswa Miskin

Akhmaloka Rektor ITB

SELASA, 12 FEBUARY 20111, REPUBLIKA.CO.ID,JAKARTA - Pemerintah melalui Kementerian Pendidikan Nasional mengharuskan kampus negeri untuk memenuhi kuota 20 persen orang miskin. Tetapi belajar dari tahun lalu, beberapa kampus menyatakan sulit mencari siswa miskin berprestasi.

Rektor Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), Akhmaloka, menyatakan sejak tahun lalu pihaknya sulit untuk mencari para siswa miskin yang berprestasi guna mengikuti jalur penerimaan mahasiswa undangan yang telah ditetapkan oleh pemerintah.

''Sulit sekali mencari calon mahasiswa miskin, tetapi memiliki prestasi yang cukup baik,” ungkapnya ketika dihubungi Republika melalui telepon, Jakarta, Jumat (11/2).

Akhmaloka menjelaskan pihaknya sudah melakukan berbagai macam cara untuk menjaring mahasiswa miskin tersebut. ITB melakukannya mulai dari sosialisasi di sekolah-sekolah dan media. Kemudian sejak pertengahan Januari, mereka juga mengundang para kepala sekolah dan guru-guru untuk mengikuti acara sosialisasi mahasiswa undangan. ’’Pengumuman sudah kami lakukan, tapi tetap saja sulit mendapatkan mahasiswa miskin yang berprestasi,’’ ujarnya.

Pada saat penerimaan mahasiswa tahun 2010, ITB hanya mendapatkan sekitar 250 orang mahasiswa miskin berprestasi. Padahal, lanjut Akhmaloka, kuota penerimaan mahasiswa miskin dan berprestasi sudah diberikan cukup banyak. “Saya sedikit pesimis dengan memberikan kuota minimal sebanyak 650 kursi untuk mahasiswa miskin berprestasi akan terisi penuh, meskipun kami tetap berusaha untuk mencari sebanyak-banyaknya,” imbuh Akhmaloka. Hal senada juga diungkapkan Rektor Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta, Rachmat Wahab. Ia mengungkapkan bahwa perguruan tingginya juga mengalami kesulitan untuk menjaring calon mahasiswa miskin yang berprestasi.

“Untuk tahun ini, kami menyediakan kuota sebesar 20 persen dari jumlah total penerimaan mahasiswa di UNY yang mencapai 5000 orang mahasiswa. Jadi, ada sekitar 1000 kursi yang akan disediakan untuk mahasiswa undangan dan beasiswa Bidik Misi bagi para mahasiswa miskin,” sebutnya.

Presiden SBY diancam

SABTU, 12 FEBUARY 2011, LIPUTAN 6.COM

Atambua: Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) mengatakan kondisi saat ini berbeda dengan Mesir di rezim Hosni Mubarok. SBY menyayangkan pihak yang menghendaki rakyat Indonesia menggulingkan presidennya seperti di Mesir.

Yenny Wahid: Jangan Mudah Terprovokasi - Yahoo! Indonesia News

YENNY WAHID

RABU, 9 FEBUARI 2011. JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com:

Direktur Eksekutif The Wahid Institute Yenny Wahid memandang, penetapan Ahmadiyah sebagai agama baru tak menyelesaikan masalah tindak kekerasan terhadap pengikutnya. Sebelumnya, beberapa pihak memang menyuarakan agar pengikut Ahmadiyah membuat agama baru supaya tak menyulut kemarahan umat Islam.

"Di Pakistan, Ahmadiyah sebagai agama tak menyelesaikan tindak kekerasan. Baru-baru ini ada 80 anggota jemaah Ahmadiyah meninggal. Masjid Ahmadiyah pun dibom," kata putri mendiang KH Abdurrahman Wahid itu kepada para wartawan di The Wahid Institute, Jakarta, Selasa (8/2/2011).

Pada kesempatan tersebut, Yenny mengimbau umat Islam di Indonesia agar bersama-sama menahan diri dan tak mudah terprovokasi. "Urusan sesat bukan wilayah kita. Akidah itu datang dari hidayah dari Yang di Atas. Saya mengimbau kepada seluruh umat Islam, kalau melihat kesesatan, berdakwahlah dengan baik. Sesat-menyesatkan, kafir-mengafirkan, terjadi di mana-mana. Tapi ini tak boleh menjadi alasan untuk melakukan tindakan kekerasan, apalagi pembunuhan," tutur Yenny.

Sementara itu, Johan Effendy dari International Conference on Religion and Peace (ICRP) mengatakan, sekalipun seseorang memegang pandangan yang dinilai sesat, mereka tetap memiliki hak untuk hidup. "Tak sepantasnya hak tersebut dicabut. Terlebih, yang berhak menentukan sesat dan tak sesat bukan manusia. Negara tak boleh terlibat dalam kontroversi keyakinan. Sesat-tak sesat adalah urusan yang bersangkutan dengan Tuhan. Bahwa ada lembaga agama seperti MUI yang menganggapnya sesat, silakan. Namun, jangan membawa-bawa nama negara. Kami menolak agama ikut mengurusi hati dan keyakinan warganya," kata Johan.

Selain MUI, Menteri Agama Suryadharma Ali yang juga politisi Partai Persatuan Pembangunan berulang kali mengatakan bahwa Ahmadiyah adalah ajaran sesat karena menyimpang dari Al Quran dan tidak memercayai Muhammad SAW sebagai nabi terakhir.

Minggu, 6 Febuari 2011, denmaspriyadi.blogspot.com: Kapal KM Van Riebeck berlabuh di Pelabuhan Ende, Pulau Flores, 14 Januari 1934. Di kapal tersebut terdapat keluarga Bung Karno dan istrinya Inggit Garnasih. Di Ende, Bung Karno beserta keluarga menempati rumah tahanan berarsitektur Belanda di Jalan Perwira Nomor 24 yang berukuran 8 x 12 meter.

 Dalam keterasingan di tempat yang sepi dan jauh dari teman-teman seperjuangannya ini, Bung Karno membentuk rombongan sandiwara Klub Tonil Kelimutu  yang diambil dari nama sebuah gunung di Ende yang mempunyai tiga danau dengan warna yang berbeda, merah, putih dan biru.

Di Ende ini pula Bung Karno bertukar pikiran, berdiskusi dengan para missionaris Belanda di Keuskupan Ende yaitu Dr. Bouman dan Huijtink. Waktu-waktu luangnya diisi dengan aktifitas melukis dan mengukir. Menjelang petang Bung Karno sering merenung di bawah pohon Sukun yang mempunyai cabang lima. Rupanya dari sinilah Bung Karno menemukan gagasan untuk merumuskan PANCASILA dan menulis buku yang diberi judul BUNG KARNO, ILHAM DARI FLORES.

Di Sinilah Nabi Ibrahim AS Dahulu Dibakar Raja Namrud

THE GUNNERS Feb 5, 2011 6:38 AM - Show original item

Nabi Ibrahim AS merupakan rasul atau utusan Allah yang diberikan banyak mukjizat. Salah satunya, Ibrahim AS tak mempan dibakar api yang ganas. Bapak monoteisme itu sempat dibakar dalam api yang menyala-nya setelah menghancurkan berhala-berhala yang disembah oleh ayah dan kaumnya.

Namun, Nabi Ibrahim tak takut menghadapi hukuman dari kaumnya itu. Lalu, Allah SWT menyelamatkannya dari panasnya api yang menyala-nyala. “Kami berfirman, ‘hai api menjadi dinginlah, dan menjadi keselamatanlah bagi Ibrahim’.” 

(QS Al-Anbiyaa [21]: 69)

Konon, Nabi Ibrahim AS dibakar di wilayah Urfa, Turki.
Di tempat pembakaran itu, terdapat kolam ikan yang cukup luas. Kolam itu berisi ikan berwarna hitam dove yang seperti ikan gabus. Hanya ada satu jenis ikan dalam kolam itu dengan berbagai ukuran, mulai dari kecil hingga besar.

Masyarakat setempat mengatakan bahwa ikan-ikan yang berada di kawasan pembakaran Nabi Ibrahim itu tidak boleh dimakan. Kolam itu rupanya mengalir ke berbagai selokan di sekitar tempat itu. Selokan yang jernih itu dihiasi dengan sejumlah ikan hitam itu.= Sekitar 100 meter dari tempat pembakaran terdapat tempat kelahiran Nabi Ibrahim. Di samping tempat kelahiran itu telah berdiri dua masjid, yaitu Masjid Maulid Halil yang didirikan pada 1808 M dan Masjid Maulid Halil Baru yang didirikan pada 1980 M.

Dari tempat kelahiran terdapat bukit di belakang masjid. Bukit itu adalah tempat Nabi Ibrahim dilempar dari atas bukit ke tempat pembakaran dengan api yang telah menyala. Di bukit itu terdapat dua tiang besar dan bekas bangunan tua yang sudah runtuh, tetapi dirawat dan dijadikan museum oleh pemerintah setempat.
