THE WISDOM OF INDONESIAN ISLAM

This image criticizes the legislative candidates who nowadays are busy campaigning generally just only for their narrow and pragmatic interests. The image is so good since it has done the critique wisely, subtly, but still very sharp. It represents Indonesian Islam, picturing wise pesantren Islam, but critical one. Indonesian Islam is contextual Islam where noble values of Islam contextualized to the real history. In the photo, such wisdom looks strongly. For example, kopiah, genuine Indonesian cap lies peacefully with the mobile originated from the West.

The photo is from M. Faizi email in which he allowed it to be published

The kopiah and elongated cellphone's antene --probably-- are also describing the "old and ancient barbarian" ways used by (some) candidates to become "the winner".

Uh,we're so tired!
