about jilbab

Walau baru bergabung dengan FLP tahun 2004 lalu, sebenarnya saya sudah mengikuti perkembangan sastra Islami “ala FLP” sejak akhir tahun 90-an. Di kampus, ada beberapa teman yang rajin membaca majalah Annida, dan saya sering numpang baca. Ya, majalah Annida memegang peranan yang cukup penting dalam kelahiran dan kebangkitan FLP ketika itu. Walau suka membaca cerpen-cerpen di Annida, saat itu sebenarnya saya sebel terhadap majalah ini. Motto yang diembannya adalah “seri kisah-kisah Islami”, tapi hampir semua cerpennya bercerita tentang perempuan yang awalnya tidak berjilbab, lalu mendapat hidayah kemudian berjilbab. Atau tentang perempuan yang memutuskan untuk berjilbab, lalu ditentang oleh keluarganya. Ia bahkan diusir dan tidak diakui lagi sebagai anak, atau tidak diperbolehkan masuk sekolah jika masih nekat mengenakan jilbab. Saya pikir, apakah Islam itu hanya seputar jilbab? Tentu tidak, bukan? Tapi motto “seri kisah-kisah Islami” seolah-olah membenarkan asumsi bahwa Islam memang hanya seputar jilbab. Saya bahkan pernah kepikiran untuk mengusulkan pada redaktur majalah ini, agar mottonya diubah saja menjadi “seri kisah-kisah jilbab”. Berita baiknya, Annida kemudian mengganti motto tersebut dengan sesuatu yang lebih relevan. Kini, Annida tampil lebih “cair”, tidak lagi sekaku dulu. Cerpen-cerpen yang dimuat pun lebih universal, humanis, tapi tetap mengusung nilai-nilai Islami. Kini, hampir tak ada lagi cerpen bertema jilbab yang dimuat di Annida. * * * Beberapa waktu lalu, seorang teman mengirimi saya cerpen dan meminta saya untuk mengkritiknya. Hm… lagi-lagi ceritanya mengenai jilbab! Saya berkata bahwa cerita seperti itu sudah terlalu sering ditulis, dan sebaiknya ia menulis tema yang lain. “Bahkan majalah Annida pun tidak mau lagi memuat cerita seperti itu,” ujar saya. Di luar dugaan, si teman ini protes. “Lho, bukannya masalah jilbab itu selalu aktual? Hingga hari ini masih banyak muslimah yang enggan berjilbab. Jadi cerpen saya sama sekali tidak basi!” Kalau dipikir-pikir, si teman ini benar juga. Jilbab adalah sebuah tema yang tak pernah basi selama masih banyak muslimah yang masih enggan menutup aurat. Tapi ketika setiap penulis membuat cerita yang isinya begitu-begitu saja, tentu pembaca akan bosan juga, kan? Lagipula, seperti yang saya tulis di atas, apakah Islam itu hanya seputar jilbab? Apakah cerita tentang kasih sayang ibu terhadap anaknya bukan cerita Islami? Apakah cerita tentang perjuangan seorang pemuda untuk membela kaum yang tertindas bukan cerita Islami? Apakah cerita tentang seorang pegawai negeri yang berjuang melawan korupsi bukan cerita Islami? Dalam konteks inilah, banjirnya cerita-cerita bertema jilbab menjadi sesuatu yang memprihatinkan. Terlebih jika cerita-cerita tersebut masih berisi kisah yang begitu-begitu saja, bahkan disampaikan dengan gaya yang amat standar. * * * Ya, saya paham. Hampir semua penulis yang mengangkat tema jilbab dalam cerita-cerita mereka, punya semangat dakwah yang tinggi. Mereka ingin agar setiap muslimah menutup aurat. Dalam konteks ini, kita tentu harus menghargai semangat mereka. Bahkan, ini sebenarnya sesuatu yang sangat baik. Namun, izinkanlah saya menguraikan enam hal yang menurut saya perlu dicermati oleh para penulis muslim yang masih setia berkutat pada cerita-cerita bertema penutup aurat. Pertama: Islam bukan hanya menyangkut jilbab. Ya, saya yakin kamu sangat menyadari hal ini. Tapi jika kamu sadar, kenapa kamu masih juga mengidentikkan cerita Islami dengan jilbab? Mungkin kamu sudah bosan mendengar ucapan “Islam adalah agama yang universal”. Tapi sampai sejauh mana kamu mengimplementasikan hal ini pada karya-karya kamu? Jika cerita buatan kamu masih berkutat seputar jilbab, aktivis rohis, orang jahat yang bertaubat, maka mungkin universalisme Islam belum benar-benar meresap di dalam hati kamu. Cobalah sesekali menulis cerita tentang pegawai negeri (tak usah sebutkan apa agamanya) yang berjuang melawan budaya suap dan korupsi di lingkungan kerjanya. Atau, cerita tentang seorang pemuda (juga tak usah sebutkan apa agamanya) yang giat membela rakyat yang tertindas. Apakah menurut kamu cerita-cerita seperti ini tidak islami? Kedua: Jilbab bukanlah solusi segalanya. Saya jadi ingat pada cerita-cerita picisan ala penulis sekuler. Ada begitu banyak cerita yang berkisah tentang orang pacaran yang ditentang habis-habisan oleh orang tua dan lingkungan mereka. Bahkan banyak orang yang berusaha memisahkan mereka. Tapi mereka tetap tegar, tetap saling mencintai dan berusaha agar dapat bersatu dalam ikatan pernikahan. Di akhir cerita, mereka berhasil menikah dan hidup bahagia selamanya. Cerita seperti ini terus diulang-ulang, bahkan hingga hari ini. Coba simak, banyak sekali sinetron yang episode terakhirnya berisi adegan pernikahan si tokoh utama. Cerita-cerita seperti ini seolah-olah mengisyaratkan bahwa pernikahan adalah akhir dari semua masalah dan awal dari semua kebahagiaan. Padahal benarkah demikian? Saya membayangkan jika seorang pria kaya menikah dengan perempuan miskin (atau sebaliknya). Ya, mungkin mereka hidup bahagia. Tapi bagaimana cara si istri beradaptasi dengan keluarga suaminya yang kaya raya? Bagaimana cara si suami memperlakukan keluarga istrinya yang sangat miskin? Bagaimana proses adaptasi dua manusia yang berasal dari golongan yang jauh berbeda? Apakah masalah-masalah seperti ini ikut dibahas oleh cerita-cerita picisan yang selalu berakhir dengan pernikahan yang bahagia tersebut? Sama sekali tidak! Potensi masalah-masalah seperti ini benar-benar dinafikan, dan pembaca/penonton terus dibuai oleh mimpi indah bahwa setelah tokoh utama menikah, maka semua masalah otomatis berakhir dan kebahagiaan abadi telah menunggu di depan sana. Saya melihat bahwa cerita-cerita Islami bertema jilbab pun punya kencenderungan yang lebih kurang sama. Cerita-cerita tentang perempuan yang bertaubat lalu mengenakan jilbab, dan cerita-cerita sejenis lainnya, seolah-olah mengisyaratkan bahwa “mengenakan jilbab” adalah akhir dari sebuah tujuan mulia. Seolah-olah “mengenakan jilbab” merupakan akhir dari semua masalah dan awal dari kebagiaan yang abadi. Seolah-olah kondisi ini merupakan garis finish dari perjuangan dakwah yang berliku-liku. Benarkah demikian? Poin ketiga di bawah ini akan memberikan uraian yang lebih detil. Ketiga: Saatnya kita mengajukan sebuah pertanyaan yang sangat konseptual: Apa sebenarnya tujuan utama seorang penulis cerita Islami? Apakah: (1) mengajak semua muslimah menutup aurat, atau (2) meyakinkan masyarakat akan kebenaran ajaran Islam, meyakinkan mereka bahwa Islam adalah solusi paling jitu untuk mengatasi masalah-masalah kehidupan? Walau tidak terlalu tepat, analogi permainan biliar mungkin bisa memberikan gambaran yang lebih jelas. Pada permainan ini, kita memukul bola A dengan harapan ia akan menyentuh bola B, lalu bola B menggelinding dan masuk ke dalam lubang. Stik biliar adalah strategi dakwah, jilbab serta objek dakwah lainnya adalah bola A dan bola B, sedangkan si lubang adalah kebenaran ajaran Islam. Jika kita memukul bola A dengan harapan ia akan masuk ke dalam lubang, maka bola A akan melesat ke suatu tempat yang jauh dari lubang tersebut. Seorang pemain biliar yang cerdas akan mengarahkan bola A ke bola B, sebab ia yakin bola B menempati posisi yang sangat strategis sehingga ia dapat mencapai lubang dengan tepat. Intinya, seorang penulis muslim harus tahu apa sebenarnya tujuan akhir dari perjuangan dakwah lewat tulisan. Jika kita hanya berkutat pada bola A, bisa-bisa nanti banyak perempuan yang berjilbab tapi jiwa mereka masih kering akan nilai-nilai Islam. Atau mereka berjilbab tapi niatnya bukan lillahi ta’ala. Berbeda halnya jika kita memfokuskan diri pada tujuan akhir yang sebenarnya. Bila nilai-nilai Islam telah terpatri kuat di hati seorang muslimah, maka otomatis tanpa disuruh-suruh pun, dia akan segera mengenakan jilbab. Mustahil rasanya jika ada orang yang telah yakin dan sadar akan kebenaran nilai-nilai Islam, tapi dia masih enggan menutup aurat. Dengan analisis di atas, saya kira saatnya kita mengubah strategi dakwah dalam aktivitas menulis. Menghimbau para muslimah agar berjilbab memang baik. Tapi ada begitu banyak strategi yang dapat kita pilih. Berkutat hanya pada satu strategi, padahal strategi itu belum tentu jitu, bisa-bisa justru membuat tujuan dakwah kita tidak tercapai. Keempat: Mari belajar dari media massa. Saya pernah menulis artikel tentang peranan media dalam membentuk citra atau opini publik. Islam yang kini dicitrakan sebagai agama teroris, sebenarnya tidak terlepas dari pengaruh kuat media massa. Berita-berita tentang sosok teroris beragama Islam terus dimunculkan, sehingga lambat laun alam bawah sadar kita mengatakan bahwa Islam memang agama yang berbahaya. Manusia zaman sekarang hobi menonton film, sinetron, juga membaca cerita-cerita fiksi seperti novel dan cerpen. Sejujurnya, karya-karya fiksi ini pun bisa menjadi lahan subur bagi berkembangnya upaya pencitraan terhadap hal-hal tertentu. Bila tidak percaya, coba simak bagaimana karya-karya fiksi telah berhasil membentuk citra yang sangat khas terhadap karakter-karakter berikut ini. * Kutu buku = kuper, penampilan kuno, pakai kacamata tebal. * Cewek gendut = agresif terhadap cowok, doyan ngemil, tak tahu diri. * Cowok idola = ganteng, putih, pintar main basket, gaul abis. * Cewek idola = cantik, sederhana, baik hati, disukai semua pria, punya prinsip hidup yang teguh, tapi hidupnya selalu malang. * Polisi India = suka bersekongkol dengan penjahat. * Polisi Indonesia = kaku seperti robot, dan selalu datang terlambat. * Dukun = hobi tertawa terbahak-bahak “HA.. HA.. HA…” dengan suara keras dan sikap yang sombong. Pencitraan punya kekuatan yang sangat dahsyat. Sesuatu yang sebenarnya A bisa dipercaya sebagai B, padahal B sama sekali berbeda dengan A. Simaklah contoh-contoh di atas. Benarkah semua perempuan gendut itu agresif terhadap cowok dan doyan ngemil? Kam pasti tahu itu keliru. Tapi tanpa sadar, ketika menulis cerpen, kamu pun menampilkan karakter tokoh yang seperti itu (sejujurnya saya juga pernah!), karena citra seperti itu sudah tertanam kuat di alam bawah sadar kamu! Pencitraan itu sama seperti pisau. Ia bisa digunakan untuk kebaikan maupun kejahatan. Dalam konteks kebaikan, tentu pencitraan bisa dimanfaatkan sebagai strategi dakwah. Selama ini, perempuan berjilbab di dalam sinetron religius selalu diidentikkan sebagai wanita berhati mulia namun tak berdaya dan selalu berdoa sambil menangis tersedu-sedu. Ini adalah sebuah pencitraan juga sebenarnya. Bagi kamu para penulis muslim yang punya semangat dakwah yang tinggi, kenapa tidak mencoba mengubah citra ini? Dalam setiap cerita yang kamu tulis, tampilkanlah sosok perempuan berjilbab yang baik hati, supel dalam bergaul, mandiri, tegar alias tidak cengeng, ulet bekerja, gampang mendapatkan jodoh, karirnya cemerlang, hidupnya sangat modern tapi tetap teguh pada nilai-nilai Islam. Ya, memang terlalu aneh juga jika sosok rekaan kamu terlalu ideal seperti itu. Tapi intinya, kamu bisa membangun citra muslimah berjilbab sebagai sosok perempuan yang patut dikagumi dan diteladani oleh siapa saja. Kamu tak perlu menulis pesan moral verbal sebagaimana yang banyak dilakukan selama ini. Kamu tak perlu menghimbau pembaca untuk menutup aurat dengan bahasa ceramah yang bertele-tele. Tapi cukup lakukan sebuah pencitraan lewat aliran cerita yang wajar dan natural. Jika semua penulis muslim melakukan strategi seperti ini, Insya Allah lambat laun citra perempuan berjilbab yang semula buruk, bisa berubah menjadi baik, keren dan bergengsi. Jika pandangan masyarakat sudah positif seperti ini, Insya Allah upaya untuk mengajak para muslimah agar mau menutup aurat pun semakin mudah. Kita tak perlu lagi melakukan himbauan dengan kalimat-kalimat verbal dan seperti ceramah pengajian. Kelima: Menempatkan segala sesuatu sesuai konteksnya adalah sikap yang bijaksana. Kenapa banyak cerita Islami pada tahun 1990-an yang berkisah tentang perjuangan para muslimah untuk mengenakan jilbab? Tak lain dan tak bukan karena pada masa itu jilbab merupakan jenis pakaian yang masih sangat langka. Bahkan, kebijakan pemerintah masih sangat tidak kondusif. Para jilbaber harus berjuang keras - bahkan mengorbankan banyak hal - agar mereka bebas mengenakan pakaian muslimah. Dalam situasi seperti itu, cerpen-cerpen ala Annida di tahun 1990-an mendapatkan relevansinya. Tak ada yang aneh, sebab kondisi riil masyarakat pada masa itu memang demikian. Kini, situasi sudah sangat jauh berbeda, khususnya di Indonesia. Perempuan berjilbab dapat kita temukan di mana-mana. Jilbab yang dulu dianggap sebagai pakaian kampungan dan aneh, kini telah naik derajatnya, menjadi salah satu jenis pakaian yang diterima dan dihargai oleh masyarakas luas. Dalam kondisi seperti saat ini, masihkah relevan jika kita tetap menulis cerita tentang perempuan yang bertaubat lalu mengenakan jilbab? Atau tentang perjuangan seorang muslimah agar bebas mengenakan jilbab? Helvy Tiana Rosa pernah menulis sebuah cerpen yang sangat fenomenal; Ketika Mas Gagah Pergi (KMGP). Cerpen ini pun bercerita tentang seorang gadis yang awalnya tidak berjilbab, namun kemudian ia mendapat hidayah lalu berjilbab. Di era ketika cerpen ini dipublikasikan, isi ceritanya bisa dibilang mewakili kondisi masyarakat Islam Indonesia ketika itu. Maka tak heran jika KMGP menjadi bacaan favorit di mana-mana, bahkan banyak perempuan yang langsung bertaubat dan menutup aurat setelah membacanya. Saya “beruntung” karena baru membaca cerpen ini di tahun 2004 lalu. Setelah membacanya, saya mengerutkan kening. Saya memang mengakui cerpen ini sangat bagus. Tapi saya heran, kenapa KMGP bisa meledak sedemikian rupa dan terkenal di mana-mana. Apa istimewanya? Seorang teman sesama penulis memberikan analisis yang menurut saya sangat pas. “Wajar banget jika kamu punya perasaan seperti itu. Sebab kamu membaca cerpen ini ketika kondisi masyarakat kita sudah sangat jauh berbeda.” Ya, saya setuju, dan keheranan saya pun berakhir. Saya tidak mengatakan bahwa masalah jilbab tidak lagi kontekstual pada saat ini. Seperti yang sudah saya sebutkan di atas, tema jilbab sebenarnya tetap relevan selama masih banyak muslimah yang belum mau menutup aurat. Yang tidak relevan adalah isi cerita di dalam tema jilbab tersebut, yakni cerita-cerita sebagaimana yang banyak ditulis oleh penulis cerita Islami hingga hari ini. Masalah perjuangan seorang jilbaber agar bebas mengenakan pakaian muslimah, merupakan tema zaman dahulu yang sudah tidak relevan saat ini. Memang, saya pernah membaca berita tentang sejumlah perusahaan masa kini yang masih suka melarang para karyawati mereka mengenakan jilbab. Tapi jumlah kasus seperti ini hanya segelintir. Ini tidak cukup relevan untuk disebut sebagai fenomena. Lantas fenomena apakah yang masih relevan di tahun 2007 ini? Menurut pengamatan saya, berikut adalah beberapa di antaranya: * Jilbab hanya dipakai di masjid atau pada acara-acara keagamaan. * Banyak orang yang berjilbab tapi bajunya ketat. * Masih banyak orang yang beranggapan bahwa jilbab bisa menghalangi jodoh dan menyulitkan pemakainya dalam mencari pekerjaan. * Perempuan berjilbab dianggap sebagai ekstrimis, teroris, fundamentalis. * Jilbab gaul mewabah di mana-mana. Nah, jika kamu masih bersikeras untuk menulis cerita-cerita seputar jilbab, mungkin kamu bisa memilih tema yang kontekstual seperti di atas, atau masih relevan dengan kondisi masa kini. Keenam: Yang paling penting dari semua poin di atas adalah KREATIVITAS. Tentu saja kita semua masih bebas menulis cerita tentang apa saja, termasuk cerita tentang jilbab yang sudah sangat klise itu. Tapi jika cerita klise disampaikan dengan cara yang sangat standar, bahkan isi ceritanya tak ada bedanya dengan cerita-cerita yang sudah ada, maka inilah awal dari sebuah kegagalan. Baik kegagalan dari segi kualitas tulisan maupun misi dakwah. Namun jika cerita klise tersebut ditulis dengan kreativitas tinggi, dengan gaya bahasa dan sudut pandang yang unik, teknik bercerita yang lain dari biasanya, maka saya yakin pembaca akan menyukainya. Mereka akan segera lupa bahwa cerita yang ia baca sebenarnya hanya cerita basi yang sudah banyak ditulis di mana-mana. Semoga bermanfaat, dan mohon koreksinya bila ada yang salah.
Although new to join the FLP in 2004 and, in fact I have been following the development of Islamic literature "FLP style" since the end of 90-years old. In campus, there are some friends who read the magazine Annida diligent, and I often read people. Yes, the magazine Annida holds the important role in the birth and resurrection when the FLP.

Although the cliff-like cliff in Annida, when I was early to the magazine. Diembannya is the motto that "a series of stories Islami", but it almost cerpennya tells all about the women who initially did not slice, and then get the land and then slice. Or on women who decide to slice, and opposed by her family. He even outcast and not recognized again as a child, or is not allowed to go to school if still desperate impose Veil.

I think, if it is only about the Islamic veil? Of course not, is not it? The motto "a series of stories Islamic" seems to justify the assumption that Islam is only about the veil. I never even stripped to propose in the magazine's editor, mottonya changed so that only a "series of stories Veil."

The good news, then change the motto Annida with something more relevant. Now, Annida appear more "liquid", no longer sekaku first. Cliff-loaded short story that is more universal, humanist, but still promote the Islamic values. Now, almost no longer on his short story published in the Veil Annida.

* * *

Some time ago, a friend send my photographers and ask me to mengkritiknya. Hm ... again, the story about the veil? I say that such stories are too often written, and he should write another theme. "Even the magazine Annida not want to load more stories like that," I said.

Outside the allegations, a friend of this protest. "And, the veil is not always the actual? Up to this day many still some who are reluctant slice. So my short story is not spoiled! "

If select-thinking, the friend is also correct. Veil is a theme that never was spoiled for many and some are still reluctant close genitalia.

But when the author makes the story so that the content-it, readers will certainly also be bored, huh? Moreover, as I write at the top, whether it is only about the Islamic veil? What is the story of love against the mother of the child is not really the story? What is the story of a young man's struggle to defend the downtrodden people is not really the story? What is the story about a civil servant who fight against corruption is not really the story?

In this context, banjirnya stories titled Veil become something of concern. Especially if the stories are still contains the story of the so-casually, even presented with a style that is standard.

* * *

Yes, I understand. Almost all the writers that the theme veil in their stories, have a high spirit of propaganda. They want to close each and some genitalia. In this context, we must respect the spirit of them. In fact, this is actually something that is very good.

However, allow me unscramble six things that I need to be seen by the author of Muslim faithful are still working on stories cover his genitals.

First:
Islam is not only concerning the veil. Yes, I am sure you are aware of this. But if you realize why you are also mengidentikkan story with the Islamic veil? Maybe you already bored hearing the speech "Islam is a universal religion." But to the extent you implement this in the papers you? If you still made the story less about the veil, activist rohis, evil people who repent, then the universalism of Islam may not actually sew in the hearts of you.

Try writing a story about the civil service (do not mention any religion) who fought against the culture of bribery and corruption in the work environment. Or, the story of a young man (also do not mention any religion), which roundly defend the downtrodden people. Do you stories like this do not Marina Park?

Second:
The veil is not the solution to everything. I so remember the stories would style secular writers. There are so many stories about people towards the court to be gazed at a whitewash by the parents and their environment. Even many people who try to separate them. But they remain steadfast, still love each other and try to be united in marriage ties. At the end of the story, they were married successful and happy life forever.

Stories such as these continue to re-repeated, even to this day. Let's see, a lot of endeavors that last episode contains scenes of the main wedding. Stories such as this seems to suggest that a wedding is the end of all problems and the beginning of all happiness. Even so it?

I imagine if a man with a rich married women (or vice versa). Yes, they may live happier. But how the wife of her husband's family with a rich feast? How does the husband treats his family the very poor? How is the adaptation of two men who came from a far different classes?

Are the problems as part of this is discussed by the stories that would always end with a happy marriage is? Not at all! Potential problems such as this really dinafikan, and the readers / spectators continue dibuai by the beautiful dream that after the main character married, then all problems automatically expire and eternal bliss has been waiting in front of it.

I see that the stories on Islamic veil kencenderungan also have a more or less the same. The stories about women who repent and put on veil, stories and other similar, seemingly suggests that "impose Veil" is the end of a noble goal. Seems to "impose Veil" is the end of all problems and the beginning of a lasting kebagiaan. It seems as if this condition is the finish line of the struggle of the propaganda twist.

Is it true? Three points below will provide a more detailed description.

Third:
When we put a very conceptual questions: What was the main objective of a scriptwriter Islami? Whether: (1) to invite some close all the genitalia, or (2) convince the public the truth will be the teachings of Islam, convincing them that Islam is the solution most telling to overcome the problems of life?

Although not too appropriate, analogy game service may provide a clearer picture. In this game, we hit a ball with the hope that it will touch the ball B, and B roll and the ball into the hole.

Sticks parking strategy is propaganda, propaganda veil and other objects is a ball and the ball B, while the hole is the truth of the teachings of Islam. If we hit a ball with the hope that it will enter into the hole, then a ball will accelerate to a place that is far from the hole. A player that intelligent parking will lead to a soccer ball B, because he was sure the ball B occupy a very strategic position so that he can reach the hole with the right.

Essentially, a Muslim author must know what the actual end of the propaganda struggle through writing. If we are only working on a ball, you can later many women slice of life but they will still dry the values of Islam. Or slice them, but not the intention lillahi ta'ala.

Unlike the case if we focus on the actual final destination. When the values of Islam have terpatri strong in the hearts of some one, then automatically, without any kick-order, he will immediately impose Veil. It seems impossible if there are people who have been convinced and aware of the truth values of Islam, but he is still reluctant close genitalia.

With the above analysis, I think it is time to change our strategy in the propaganda activities of writing. To encourage some of the slice is good. But there are so many strategies that we can select. Only one working on strategy, the strategy is not necessarily telling, you can create precisely the purpose of our endeavor is not reached.

Fourth:
Let's learn from the mass media. I had to write articles about the role of media in shaping public opinion or image. Islam is now dicitrakan as a terrorist religion, is not strong irrespective of the influence of mass media. News about the Islamic terrorist figure continues established, so that slowly the natural unconscious we say that Islam is a dangerous religion.

Human Now hobby movie patron, also read the stories as fiction novels and short story. Honest, works of fiction, it could become a fertile land for development efforts pencitraan to specific issues. If not, try to see how fiction works have been successfully shaping the image of a very typical of the characters below.

* Head lice book = kuper, ancient appearance, wearing thick glasses.
* = Very aggressive around the guy, hooked ngemil, not themselves.
* = No idol handsome, white, playing smart basketball, Stop Christianity.
* I = idol beautiful, simple, good-hearted, liked all men, have the unshakable principle of life, but life always dismal.
* = Like India Police in cahoots with the criminals.
* = The Indonesian police rigid as robots, and always come too late.
* = Traditional healers hobby guffaw "HA .. HA .. HA ... "with a voice loud and arrogant attitudes.

Pencitraan have the strength that is very terrible. Something that can be trusted as a B, in utterly different B with A. Simaklah the above examples. Is it true that all pregnant women against the aggressive guy and hooked ngemil? Thursday certainly know that blunder. But without a conscious, when writing the short story, you also show the character of such (I also have honest!), Because of its image as it is embedded in strong natural unconscious you!

Pencitraan the same knife. It can be used for good or evil. In the context of good, of course pencitraan can be used as a propaganda strategy.

During this slice of women in religious endeavors always identical as the women's high-minded but not always pray and weep while sobbing. This is a pencitraan also true.

For you the Muslim writers who have a high spirit of propaganda, why not try to change the image of this? In every story you write, tampilkanlah female figure slice of good-hearted, sociable in interacting, independent, hard alias is not maudlin, ulet work, it's easy to find a mate, brilliant career, his life is very modern but still firmly in the values of Islam.

Yes, that's too weird design also figure if you like it too ideal. But essentially, you can build some slice image of women as a figure who should be admired and diteladani by anyone. You do not need to write a verbal message morals as much done for this. You do not need to encourage readers to cover the genitalia with a language that talks prolix. But enough do a story pencitraan flow through a reasonable and natural.

If all Muslim writers do strategies such as this, Allah is slowly slice the image of women that all the poor, can be changed for the better, cool and prestigious. If you have positive views of the community such as this, Allah the effort to bring some order to cover the genitalia would also more easily. We no longer need to do himbauan with words such as lectures and verbal instruction.

Fifth:
Putting all appropriate context is a wise attitude. Why many stories Islami in the 1990s towards the struggle of some to impose the veil? No other and not because of the veil on the type of clothing that is still very rare. In fact, government policy is still not conducive. The jilbaber to struggle - even the expense of many things - that they are free and some clothing.

In such situations, cliff-style Annida photographers in the 1990s have relevance. No one is strange, because the real conditions of the people at that time so.

Now, the situation is far different, especially in Indonesia. Women slice we can find everywhere. The veil is considered as first clothes and strange, maybe, has been rising in rank to become one of the types of clothing received and appreciated by masyarakas wide.

In conditions like this time, still relevant if we keep writing stories about women who repent and put on veil? Or on muslimah a struggle to impose free Veil?

Helvy Tiana Rosa had to write a short story that is phenomenal; When Mas Gagah Go (KMGP). This tells short story about a girl who was initially not slice, but then it slice and KeNsHiN_BaToSaI get. In this era when photographers published, the contents of the story can be said to be representing the people of Indonesia when the Islamic. But I wonder if KMGP become favorite reading everywhere, even many women who repent and immediately close the genitals after reading.

I am "lucky" because the new reading this cliff in 2004 and then. After the reading, I found out about thanks to implement. I recognize the cliff is very good. But I wonder, why KMGP could explode in such a way and popular everywhere. What bands played formidable sets?

A friend gave fellow writers, according to my analysis, which is very fitting. "Reasonable people if you have a feeling like that. For the short story you read this condition when our society is far different. "

Yes, I agree, and I wonder what.

I do not say that the veil is no longer a problem in the current context. As I have mentioned above, the actual theme Veil remain relevant for many are still some who would not close the genitals.

That the content is not relevant stories in the theme of the veil, that is, stories that as many stories written by the author Islami to this day.

Problems jilbaber a struggle to free clothing and some, is the theme of the first period is not relevant at this time. Indeed, I never read the news about a number of companies today that still prohibits the employee like they put on veil. But the number of cases such as this only a handful. This is simply not relevant to a phenomenon called.

So whether the phenomenon is still relevant in 2007? According to my observation, the following are some of them:

* The veil is used only in the mosque or in religious events.
* Many of the slice, but tight shirts.
* There are still many people who think that the veil can hinder a mate and make users in search of work.
* Women are considered as a slice ekstrimis, terrorist, fundamentalist.
* Veil Stop infecting everywhere.

So, if you still insist to write stories about the veil, you may be able to select a theme, such as contextual above, or are still relevant to today's conditions.

Sixth:
The most important of all the points above is creativity. Of course we all still free to write stories about what, including stories about the veil that is the stereotype. But if a cliche presented with a very standard, even the contents had no difference with the stories that have been there, then this is the beginning of a failure. Both the failure in terms of quality writing and preaching mission.

However, if the negative stories written by high creativity, style and language perspective that is unique, tells a different technique than normal, then I am sure readers will love it. They will soon forget that story that he only read the actual story that has spoiled many written everywhere.

Hopefully useful, and please koreksinya if there is one.

Stories such as these continue to re-repeated, even to this day. Let's see, a lot of endeavors that last episode contains scenes of the main wedding. Stories such as this seems to suggest that a wedding is the end of all problems and the beginning of all happiness. Even so it?

I imagine if a man with a rich married women (or vice versa). Yes, they may live happier. But how the wife of her husband's family with a rich feast? How does the husband treats his family the very poor? How is the adaptation of two men who came from a far different classes?

Are the problems as part of this is discussed by the stories that would always end with a happy marriage is? Not at all! Potential problems such as this really dinafikan, and the readers / spectators continue dibuai by the beautiful dream that after the main character married, then all problems automatically expire and eternal bliss has been waiting in front of it.

I see that the stories on Islamic veil kencenderungan also have a more or less the same. The stories about women who repent and put on veil, stories and other similar, seemingly suggests that "impose Veil" is the end of a noble goal. Seems to "impose Veil" is the end of all problems and the beginning of a lasting kebagiaan. It seems as if this condition is the finish line of the struggle of the propaganda twist.

Is it true? Three points below will provide a more detailed description.

Third:
When we put a very conceptual questions: What was the main objective of a scriptwriter Islami? Whether: (1) to invite some close all the genitalia, or (2) convince the public the truth will be the teachings of Islam, convincing them that Islam is the solution most telling to overcome the problems of life?

Although not too appropriate, analogy game service may provide a clearer picture. In this game, we hit a ball with the hope that it will touch the ball B, and B roll and the ball into the hole.

Sticks parking strategy is propaganda, propaganda veil and other objects is a ball and the ball B, while the hole is the truth of the teachings of Islam. If we hit a ball with the hope that it will enter into the hole, then a ball will accelerate to a place that is far from the hole. A player that intelligent parking will lead to a soccer ball B, because he was sure the ball B occupy a very strategic position so that he can reach the hole with the right.

Essentially, a Muslim author must know what the actual end of the propaganda struggle through writing. If we are only working on a ball, you can later many women slice of life but they will still dry the values of Islam. Or slice them, but not the intention lillahi ta'ala.

Unlike the case if we focus on the actual final destination. When the values of Islam have terpatri strong in the hearts of some one, then automatically, without any kick-order, he will immediately impose Veil. It seems impossible if there are people who have been convinced and aware of the truth values of Islam, but he is still reluctant close genitalia.

With the above analysis, I think it is time to change our strategy in the propaganda activities of writing. To encourage some of the slice is good. But there are so many strategies that we can select. Only one working on strategy, the strategy is not necessarily telling, you can create precisely the purpose of our endeavor is not reached.

Fourth:
Let's learn from the mass media. I had to write articles about the role of media in shaping public opinion or image. Islam is now dicitrakan as a terrorist religion, is not strong irrespective of the influence of mass media. News about the Islamic terrorist figure continues established, so that slowly the natural unconscious we say that Islam is a dangerous religion.

Human Now hobby movie patron, also read the stories as fiction novels and short story. Honest, works of fiction, it could become a fertile land for development efforts pencitraan to specific issues. If not, try to see how fiction works have been successfully shaping the image of a very typical of the characters below.

* Head lice book = kuper, ancient appearance, wearing thick glasses.
* = Very aggressive around the guy, hooked ngemil, not themselves.
* = No idol handsome, white, playing smart basketball, Stop Christianity.
* I = idol beautiful, simple, good-hearted, liked all men, have the unshakable principle of life, but life always dismal.
* = Like India Police in cahoots with the criminals.
* = The Indonesian police rigid as robots, and always come too late.
* = Traditional healers hobby guffaw "HA .. HA .. HA ... "with a voice loud and arrogant attitudes.

Pencitraan have the strength that is very terrible. Something that can be trusted as a B, in utterly different B with A. Simaklah the above examples. Is it true that all pregnant women against the aggressive guy and hooked ngemil? Thursday certainly know that blunder. But without a conscious, when writing the short story, you also show the character of such (I also have honest!), Because of its image as it is embedded in strong natural unconscious you!

Pencitraan the same knife. It can be used for good or evil. In the context of good, of course pencitraan can be used as a propaganda strategy.

During this slice of women in religious endeavors always identical as the women's high-minded but not always pray and weep while sobbing. This is a pencitraan also true.

For you the Muslim writers who have a high spirit of propaganda, why not try to change the image of this? In every story you write, tampilkanlah female figure slice of good-hearted, sociable in interacting, independent, hard alias is not maudlin, ulet work, it's easy to find a mate, brilliant career, his life is very modern but still firmly in the values of Islam.

Yes, that's too weird design also figure if you like it too ideal. But essentially, you can build some slice image of women as a figure who should be admired and diteladani by anyone. You do not need to write a verbal message morals as much done for this. You do not need to encourage readers to cover the genitalia with a language that talks prolix. But enough do a story pencitraan flow through a reasonable and natural.

If all Muslim writers do strategies such as this, Allah is slowly slice the image of women that all the poor, can be changed for the better, cool and prestigious. If you have positive views of the community such as this, Allah the effort to bring some order to cover the genitalia would also more easily. We no longer need to do himbauan with words such as lectures and verbal instruction.

Fifth:
Putting all appropriate context is a wise attitude. Why many stories Islami in the 1990s towards the struggle of some to impose the veil? No other and not because of the veil on the type of clothing that is still very rare. In fact, government policy is still not conducive. The jilbaber to struggle - even the expense of many things - that they are free and some clothing.

In such situations, cliff-style Annida photographers in the 1990s have relevance. No one is strange, because the real conditions of the people at that time so.

Now, the situation is far different, especially in Indonesia. Women slice we can find everywhere. The veil is considered as first clothes and strange, maybe, has been rising in rank to become one of the types of clothing received and appreciated by masyarakas wide.

In conditions like this time, still relevant if we keep writing stories about women who repent and put on veil? Or on muslimah a struggle to impose free Veil?

Helvy Tiana Rosa had to write a short story that is phenomenal; When Mas Gagah Go (KMGP). This tells short story about a girl who was initially not slice, but then it slice and KeNsHiN_BaToSaI get. In this era when photographers published, the contents of the story can be said to be representing the people of Indonesia when the Islamic. But I wonder if KMGP become favorite reading everywhere, even many women who repent and immediately close the genitals after reading.

I am "lucky" because the new reading this cliff in 2004 and then. After the reading, I found out about thanks to implement. I recognize the cliff is very good. But I wonder, why KMGP could explode in such a way and popular everywhere. What bands played formidable sets?

A friend gave fellow writers, according to my analysis, which is very fitting. "Reasonable people if you have a feeling like that. For the short story you read this condition when our society is far different. "

Yes, I agree, and I wonder what.

I do not say that the veil is no longer a problem in the current context. As I have mentioned above, the actual theme Veil remain relevant for many are still some who would not close the genitals.

That the content is not relevant stories in the theme of the veil, that is, stories that as many stories written by the author Islami to this day.

Problems jilbaber a struggle to free clothing and some, is the theme of the first period is not relevant at this time. Indeed, I never read the news about a number of companies today that still prohibits the employee like they put on veil. But the number of cases such as this only a handful. This is simply not relevant to a phenomenon called.

So whether the phenomenon is still relevant in 2007? According to my observation, the following are some of them:

* The veil is used only in the mosque or in religious events.
* Many of the slice, but tight shirts.
* There are still many people who think that the veil can hinder a mate and make users in search of work.
* Women are considered as a slice ekstrimis, terrorist, fundamentalist.
* Veil Stop infecting everywhere.

So, if you still insist to write stories about the veil, you may be able to select a theme, such as contextual above, or are still relevant to today's conditions.

Sixth:
The most important of all the points above is creativity. Of course we all still free to write stories about what, including stories about the veil that is the stereotype. But if a cliche presented with a very standard, even the contents had no difference with the stories that have been there, then this is the beginning of a failure. Both the failure in terms of quality writing and preaching mission.

However, if the negative stories written by high creativity, style and language perspective that is unique, tells a different technique than normal, then I am sure readers will love it. They will soon forget that story that he only read the actual story that has spoiled many written everywhere.

Hopefully useful, and please koreksinya if there is one.
