Police Officers Positive Image Building

Feb 25th, 2009, in News, by

A provincial police chief on Java requires policemen to improve their image by being seen as religiously observant.

The police chief of East Java, Brigadier General Anton Bachrul Alam, has issued an instruction to his Muslim officers that they should perform five daily prayers while on duty. Upon hearing the call to prayer policemen are instructed to leave their desks and head to the nearest mosque or musholla.

If they are dealing with a member of the public at the time and that person is a Muslim then he is to be invited along, while if he is non-Muslim he is to be asked to wait.

They are also expected to learn to read the Quran in off-duty time, to the point where they able to recite the 30 juz, or parts, which is what Muslims normally do during Ramadhan. Those who are already proficient at this are asked to read aloud the 30 juz in their offices after morning prayers.

If there is no mosque attached to a police station policemen are asked to go the nearest public mosque. Anton says this would be a good way of mixing with the people and building trust, and also that those who pray in a jamaah, or group, get 27 times more bonus points from God than those who pray alone.

It’s difficult to change the culture [in the police force] unless efforts are grounded in religion.

Police officers of other faiths are instructed to gather together and pray for ten minutes, presumably five times a day, or do whatever it is that non-Muslims do on such occasions. detik

    So you’re alleging that he’s a lunatic who can’t control his piss?

    It is also evidence the material world has nothing to do with the humanity and the mankind welfare because the west material world without sacrifice billion other people in third world

    And yet they passed you.

    Dear Cuk,
    What do you think the Muslim Empires of Ottoman, Tamarlene and the Mughals were doing to the rest of the world during their hey day? Exploiting people.resources and enriching themselves. There is nothing that the West is doing now that has not been done time and time again. My point is that exploitation has little to do with religion.
    You might want to read the Kitab Al Ilbar if you have time. It is a social commentary on the Islamic World written in the 10th Century. Guess what the writer rails about; exploitation of the poor by the richer, more developed Arabic kingdoms.
    I concede that the World need more humanity and a higher level of social conscience. Religion is, I think, one of the ways to preach a better life for all. It is not in itself, a cure. Nor will it lead to better material conditions for mankind as a whole. Certainly not in the way it is exploited and used as a substitute instead of making its believers more personally responsible for improving their lot in life.

    Assalamualaikum Pak Hary,

    The al Quran is the last book sent to earth by Allah swt for His slaves. So if there were books of revelation before the al Quran,they were all from Allah swt. If youre so smart, tell me how can one be accused of copying one’s own masterpiece.

    Al Quran said not to take Jews as friends. You don’t have to believe me if I said it, but thsi is word from our creator.

    May Allah open your eyes.

    Salam.

    Pak Hary Yth,

    There is clear different between Armies of the Muslim Empires Vs. Gang Robber of the White Crusader, when the Muslim armies reach new territory, they will offer 3 options to the local people either convert, surrender pay jiza or conquered but in the other hand when the gang robber of white crusader arrive in new territory, they give to local people also 3 options but the content is little bit different, their 3 options are either enslaved, exterminated and exploited.

    The outcome of those different can be seen clearly even today.

    Mughal Muslim ruled India about thousand years, if the wanted they had power to eliminate non-Muslim but today more than 80% of India is still non-Muslim. Muslims ruled Spain for about 800 years. If they wanted, Muslim had power to make all local Christian people disappeared from the earth but they did not do that and History speak by it self when the gang crusader came back and they wiped out all Muslims from Spain forever. This is the reason why we still keep FPI on business just in case and to help us detect as earliest as possible the Muslim Spain history could repeat in here.
    In the contrary, you can see by your self what happened to the local people after arrival the Gang Crusader to America, Australia and Africa. At this moment, sorry, I can not continue to write the post because I am so sad and feel the misery of those native people. I hope after you read this post, it will open your heart to the truth of the Islam.

    It is quite clear that the religion is not about economic and science book to make people richer or poorer but it is the book to guide the people how mankind should see the world reality with peaceful mind and guide mankind not too greedy about the material world because there will be another better world for the people who can refrain himself from doing mischief for the material world. The world have enough resources to feed all people live on it but today the world burden is too heavy and the earth and nature react wildly because the world have no capacity to feed few the white greedy people.

    Therefore there is no cure for the world problem today unless there is way to put the white people on the cage and feed them accordingly by doing so we will able to free Balinese, Kambodia, Laos and Thailand kid return back on the play ground while without fear being preyed by the wild bule.

    @ Cuk

    I would be interested in your views on what is currently happening to the native (Muslim) people of Darfur. Your opinion of the participation of the Arabs in the enslavement of native Africans over the last few centuries would also be helpful.

    You may not have heard of the phrase “crocodile tears”, but I urge you to look it up. The type of religion involved has very little to do with the atrocities that humans inflicted, and continue to inflict on each other. We are all guilty.

  9. hary says:

    Assalaimualaikum to both AAB and Cuk,
    Let me deal with Pak AAb first. Please let me know where in the Quran does the Prophet (saw) say that Muslims should not trust the Jews. I was hard pressed to find any such reference.
    On the contrary, I would like you to read Surah 29, Ayat 46. These are the words of the prophet Pak. I would reproduce it here but my laptop does not have my Arabic script program. Perhaps you would let us know your interpretation of the Ayat.

    You may find that all that you have ever believed that Islam says about its relationship to Judaism is wrong. It is more likely that religious teachers here gloss over the more inconvenient parts of the Al Quran when dealing with Judaism and Christianity ( Al Khitabayyah,in Arabic).

    Now, Pak Cuk. You have the talent of expending the most number of words into the smallest amount of thought.
    First, the Crusades was a totally different kettle of fish from the colonial experience of the past 300 years. Of course the colonial masters exploited the natives. My point is that this stems from the inhumanity of the human condition, not religion! The superior, tragically, exploits the weak.
    Second, colonisers are not in the business to wipe out the natives. Not good for business if you need them to farm your lands, buy your products and build your cities. Let’s be clear, the natives are there to be subjugated and exploited, not killed!
    Third, what did colonials leave as a legacy? Ideals like freedom, education systems, water distribution, good governance, their technological advances, a unifying language…. I agree that there is expoitation, but to say that the colonial masters left nothing behind is simply ignoring their contribution.
    Fourth, I am worried that an intelligent Muslim like yourself would place your faith in the FPi to keep Muslims here safe.
    Fifth, I do not think that emigration to America and Australia had anything to do with the ‘Gang white crusaders’. The early Americans were escaping religious persecution in Europe. The early white Australians,were convicts exiled to a penal colony.
    Sixth, I agree that religion has a lot to offer. I for one, use it as a guiding light for my actions, words and deeds. I am pissed when it is distorted and used as a justification for stupidity, idleness, and evil. My heart has been opened for years Pak, but then so is my mind.
    Last, the evils of the world do not all come from the evil bule. I don’t see what the bule has to do with the greedy Pak Rt who skims money off the BBM, or the FPI attacking a peaceful group at Monas, or the rampant polygamy in Indonesia. There is evil everywhere Pak. Let’s start by taking individual responsibility to correct ourselves and our fellow men. After all, the Prophet (saw) made it clear in Surah 2 that there can be no compulsion in matters of religion.
    We need to take personal responsibility for bettering our own lives, and that is the true Jihad. When we have done so, the Jemaah will flourish…Inshaallah.

    Pak Hary,

    Third, what did colonials leave as a legacy? Ideals like freedom, education systems, water distribution, good governance, their technological advances, a unifying language…

    What legacy? Scroll up and follow through the comments of Mas/Mbak Schmerly. Seriously, do you think his/her ancestors or offsprings had anything positive to offer us?

    Pak Cuk questioned him about rampant child sex in his own country, he was tongue-tight. I brought him to task, this time he provided a link to show that Indonesia has the problem; without realising that bules are the cause of the problem. Our ignorant peasants are selling their kids to bule like schmerly and his ilks.

    Btw, what is your nationality?

    I’m sure paying jiza and being conquered isn’t tantamount to being exploited. Very sure.

    And I agree with hary that exploitation has little to do with religion. We are all sinners. The difference is how serious our sins are.

You pathetic excuse for a human being, what have you got left?? Zero!! All bule inventions by the way, when are you going to stop being so stupid and envious of what the West has provided for you?

    Apa pak, kamu khusus? I like the way you hold your fellow countrymen in such high esteem what a sombong bastard you are.

    Yes by all means read my previous post’s, and you will see what a load of tripe this numpty is talking, like I said before, get yourself some rudimentary education, then you may be able to post on this blog, i.e. ILK!! No “S” you moron.

  13. schmerly says:

    @ AAB.. I noticed you don’t have an answer for hary, so you try and pass the buck to me, now try and come up with an answer for hary, or is hary a bit to intellectual for your narrow minded perspective of the world? And don’t try and back pedal, hide away and go round in circles like you usually do.

  18. diego says:

    Thanks patung,

    But I’m already occupied, working for an indo-chinese. Her name is dragie. I have to correct her mistakes (mostly spelling) in IM. She hasn’t paid me a cent ’till today.

  19. schmerly says:

    Lairedion.. Yes your probably right I’m sick of running round in circles.

  20. Cukurungan says:

    Now, Pak Cuk. You have the talent of expending the most number of words into the smallest amount of thought.
    First, the Crusades was a totally different kettle of fish from the colonial experience of the past 300 years. Of course the colonial masters exploited the natives. My point is that this stems from the inhumanity of the human condition, not religion! The superior, tragically, exploits the weak.

    But human always seek justification for their act of inhumanity because no one happy to be considered as an Evil, in this case, even the master colonial power want to be seen as a Good Guy as well beside of his naked inhumanity, therefore, they need religion to cover and justify their act of inhumanity. But the funny thing, now, the west has been complaining if the other people did the same as they were.

    Second, colonisers are not in the business to wipe out the natives. Not good for business if you need them to farm your lands, buy your products and build your cities. Let’s be clear, the natives are there to be subjugated and exploited, not killed!

    Can you tell where is my brother of 100 millions natives American gone, as I said that Gang Crusader always offer 3 options to the local but when they see opportunity to capture the land for their nest the last option or extermination will be given to the local.

    Third, what did colonials leave as a legacy? Ideals like freedom, education systems, water distribution, good governance, their technological advances, a unifying language…. I agree that there is expoitation, but to say that the colonial masters left nothing behind is simply ignoring their contribution.

    The colonial master leave nothing except the time bomb of communal conflict, as you can see today, Rwanda Conflict, Congo Conflict, India Hindu Muslim Conflict and Zimbabwe Tragedy. Mostly of those conflict is caused by the legacy internal conflict deliberately created by the Colonial Master.

    The colonial master manage their territory using what so called “Shadow Management Conflict” they create internal conflict among ethnic and race on their colony and take certain race and ethnic group as their crony while alienate the other group of race and ethnic.

    During 350 years ruled of the mater colonial, Indonesia only built one of University for their own kid while under our countrymen rule even only about 60 years we have already hundred of University. But you still asked us to thank to the colonial master…how come sir?

    Fourth, I am worried that an intelligent Muslim like yourself would place your faith in the FPi to keep Muslims here safe.

    My faith is only to Allah but we have to share duties with our other bother to share the burden of our survival, I am not good fighter nor good soldier therefore I prefer to take care the neglected widow especially the sexy one rather than stand-up on the front line.

    Fifth, I do not think that emigration to America and Australia had anything to do with the ‘Gang white crusaders’. The early Americans were escaping religious persecution in Europe. The early white Australians,were convicts exiled to a penal colony.

    The emigration to America to Australia will never happen unless the white crusader made enslaved the native people to build town and city before finally executed the native with gift of the infected blanket to cover the death of the native look like caused by the natural sickness but now you are lucky to join this forum so you can see the matter more clearly because we share our wisdom.

    Sixth, I agree that religion has a lot to offer. I for one, use it as a guiding light for my actions, words and deeds. I am pissed when it is distorted and used as a justification for stupidity, idleness, and evil. My heart has been opened for years Pak, but then so is my mind.

    Stupidity, idleness, and evil are not only in here but it can be found any where in this world of course with different kind of level and variety , however, we are whether pissed or not pissed with those thing, it does not change anything. If you are Indonesian and have good will to eradicate stupidity committed by our countrymen come to them, make them trust you hence teach them and do not make them become joke on the net.

    Last, the evils of the world do not all come from the evil bule. I don’t see what the bule has to do with the greedy Pak Rt who skims money off the BBM, or the FPI attacking a peaceful group at Monas, or the rampant polygamy in Indonesia. There is evil everywhere Pak. Let’s start by taking individual responsibility to correct ourselves and our fellow men.

    We need to take personal responsibility for bettering our own lives, and that is the true Jihad. When we have done so, the Jemaah will flourish…Inshaallah.

    Please do not confuse to differentiate the sinner from the evil, our Pak RT just only sinner because he may do that to fulfill his obligation for payment education of his only daughter while the bule took cities, country, poisoning the river and Laguna some time destroy live hood of local people in order to satisfy their wild desire without any limit.

    How come you say polygamy is evil thing while it was allowed by God Himself to someone who capable to handle the thing and ready for the consequences. Polygamy is one of the viable solution for reducing the social problem. Let say, if there is a widow with four children and jobless, tell me, who will take care her?

  21. schmerly says:

    @ Cuk..

    Let say, if there is a widow with four children and jobless, tell me, who will take care her?

    You certainly wouldn’t unless:

    I prefer to take care the neglected widow especially the sexy one

    And if she’s not “sexy” what then??

  22. schmerly says:

    @ Cuk..

    The colonial master leave nothing except the time bomb of communal conflict, as you can see today, Rwanda Conflict, Congo Conflict, India Hindu Muslim Conflict and Zimbabwe Tragedy. Mostly of those conflict is caused by the legacy internal conflict deliberately created by the Colonial Master.

    So before the so called “colonial masters” came along they were all living in harmony were they?? no tribal wars, nothing like that yea?? when are you going to open your eyes and stop making such a fool of yourself.

    I suggest that you don’t take Cukurungan’s posts too seriously. After reading already hundreds of his rants over the last years it becomes clear that Cukurungan suffers from a chronic inferiority complex with respect to the ‘evil white man’, inferiority complex for which he tries – in vain – to give an explanation based on different religious perceptions. In short, islam is only useful for him in order to channel his hate and frustration for something he will never be able to achieve.

  26. diego says:

    Can you tell me why the west are so interested to raise issue Darfur while neglected Rwanda Conflict

    Can you tell me why the west getting rid of Saddam while letting Kim Jong Il and Burma Leader slaughtered their own people.

    You can selectively choose a whole range of historical examples to bolster your argument, Cuk, but that involves ignoring others that contradict your view, as well as adopting a peculiarly biased view of the possible motivations for any intervention. A good historian doesn’t do this. A politician or religious zealot, however, does.

    For example – why did the “West” help the “Albanian Muslims” of Kosovo? Or the “Arabs” in Kuwait? Or the “Muslim” victims of the Indian Ocean Tsunami? Why doesn’t the “West” intervene to stop “Christians” killing each other in Rwanda or the DRC? And I agree with you – why doesn’t the “West” get rid of the junta in Burma?

    My point is that for thousands of years, people have done terrible things to each other regardless of nationality, ethnic origin or religious belief. To state that one particular group is immune from this sort of behaviour is at best naive, and at worst, forms the basis of all sorts of dangerous demagoguery and bigotry.

    During my work over the last 20 years I have been trying to do what I can as an individual to prevent these things happening and to alleviate human suffering. Yes – I’ve been to Gaza, Rwanda, Aceh, East Timor, Burma, Sri Lanka and a host of other conflict areas. I’ve yet to see religion do one damn bit of good for anybody.
