Abstract

Artikel ini mendiskusikan bagaimana kehendak bebas manusia telah mengantarkannya ke dalam kejahatan. Demikian karena dengan kehendak bebas, jelaslah bahwa Allah yang memberi kebebasan pada manusia itu berarti sekaligus dengan segala konsekuensinya, yaitu keleluasaan dalam memilih (free choice). Kajian ini bersifat investigasi filosofis seperti yang dilakukan oleh A. Plantinga dengan metode analisis tekstual. Kajian ini menemukan bahwa kebebasan yang diharapkan dapat membawa manusia kepada kebaikan-kebaikan dan perkembangan spiritual dirinya sebagai manusia, jelas mengandaikan kemungkinan penyalahgunaan kebebasan, hingga batas yang paling tidak masuk akal sekalipun, perbuatan-perbuatan irasional yang sangat kejam. Ada kejahatan yang menghasilkan konsekuensi yang melebihi dari yang diduga, tetapi ada juga kemungkinan manusia melakukan kejahatan yang memang sungguh-sungguh irasional yang dilakukan secara sadar.

Abstract

Today, many cases of violence are widely reported in the mass media. The most recent case is the problem of sexual violence that affects children, where most of the perpetrators are acquaintances of the victim. Children become targets of violence because their position is always judged as weak, helpless, and dependent on the adults around them. This study discusses the state and religion's role in protecting children from sexual violence. This research was conducted with a sociological approach through the resource mobilization theory. The results of this study inform the definition of violence, Islamic views on children, and efforts to protect children through the National Movement Against Sexual Crimes Against Children (Gerakan Nasional Anti Kejahatan Seksual Terhadap Anak; GN-AKSA). The conclusion of this study shows that Islamic values ​​that advocate for good care of children can be merged with GN-AKSA as an effort to protect children from sexual violence.

Abstract

Human life is closely related to a pluralistic reality. Pluralism is a world reality that cannot be avoided and rejected. Pluralism itself needs to be considered a gift God gives humans. A pluralistic world provides more color to human life. This requires an attitude of inclusiveness in social life so that humans can avoid harmful conflicts. The attitude of inclusiveness can be found in the universalistic spirit of the two major religions. Catholic Christianity and Islam adhere to universalism in spreading their religious teachings. Almost in every part of the world, we can find adherents of Christianity, Catholicism, and Islam. Universalism in both religious teachings requires everyone to be able to join as a member regardless of ethnic and national background. Inclusiveness in the spirit of the universalism of the two religions is often tarnished by the actions of fundamentalist extremist individuals or groups. The particular group's activities certainly cannot generalize the whole teaching in the religion. However, it can be a warning that the echo of exclusivity needs to be echoed again.
