JAKARTA - The world of Indonesian cinema is now warm with the presence of a film titled Wings Patah, whose main players are Nicholas Saputra and Ariel Tatum. The film Winging Patah was inspired by the events that occurred at Mako Brimob, Kelapa Dua, Depok, in 2018.

In the tragedy, 155 terrorism convicts broke into the Mako Brimob detention center. Five members of Densus 88 died in the incident. At that time, 150 terrorism convicts held officers who were on guard at the Mobile Brigade Headquarters. In the effort to release, five Brimob members died in the hands of terrorists.

Director Rudi Soedjarwo brought the story full of human values into the film "Ap-Aptra". It is said that the extraordinary Iptu Anumerta figure Yudi Rospuji alias Aji (Nicholas Saputra) is a member of a special force to handle terrorism trapped in a burglary committed by terrorist convicts.

When Aji was in a living and dead position to protect his fellow and state in hostage, Nani's wife (Ariel Tatum) also struggled to give birth to a child. A story that stabs the human sense of humanity of every human being. A story that describes the perpetrators as "as if" defending religion, in fact, has broken the wings of a family who is also of the same religion as the perpetrators.

If diversity is like a wing, in the past few years, the wings were indeed broken due to terrorist acts. The terrorists targeted a number of places of worship, even at the police headquarters.

The act of terrorism by means of suicide bombing is not only breaking the national wings, but also the religious wings. They torn up my feathers, then the bones of the boosters were broken. Restensize their "lang" ego in fantasy into heaven. Played by hardline groups, religion has lost its vitals, namely love contained in the term "rahmatan lil 'alamin". Allah's order that Muslims compete in "good" has turned to competing to seize "true responses". Those who agree are classified as true, while those who understand different are considered heretical, even infidels.

All religions, whatever their formal names, come down to Earth to be wings for its adherents to realize God's love. Using any logic, those who use bombs on the pretext of defending religion are the most visible form of betrayal of the core teachings of religion itself.

If the adherents of the hardline accuse the government that adheres to the democratic system of being considered tough, they, whether they forget, that Islam also strictly prohibits its people from killing arbitrarily against their fellow religions, as reminded in Surat Al Maidah paragraph 32.

The verse translates is, "Therefore, we have determined (a law) for Bani Israil, that whoever kills someone, not because it kills another person, or not because of doing damage on earth, it is as if he has killed all humans. Whoever keeps a human's life, it is as if he has kept the lives of all humans. In fact, the Messenger of We have come to them with clear information. But then many of them after that go beyond the limits on earth."

This verse tells the story of the first time murder case on earth in an Islamic version of Islam, namely Qobil killing his brother, Habil.

Or if you use a logical "let'syat", their motive for committing violence, namely to defend Allah or the religion of Allah, is also trapped in thinking mistakes, as stated by the late KH Abdurrahman Wahid alias Gus Dur that God does not need to be defended.

In the logic of Muslim scholar Emha Ainun Nadjib or Cak Nun, if someone or a group of people position themselves as defenders, then he or they are in a stronger position than the one defended. If they are logical in carrying out the bombing in order to defend Allah, do they not realize that Allah is actually all-mighty over everything? That is the logic used by Gus Dur, the former president that God does not need to be defended. Likewise with Islam. His people are no stronger than his religion. God himself has protected Islam.

The Bali Bombing incident, the Sarinah Bombing in Jakarta, a bomb in a church in Surabaya and other places, including the hostage-taking of members of the National Police at the Jakarta Brimob Headquarters, was an impression. However, that does not mean forgetting the wounds on the broken wing cannot be cured.

Some of those involved in the suicide bombing case are now serving their sentences and realizing their mistakes in interpreting religious teachings. One of them is Umar Patek who is currently languishing in a prison in East Java. Umar Patek, in recent years began to participate in the flag ceremony on the commemoration of Indonesian Independence Day, which previously was, in particular, respecting the Red and White Flag, considered a shirk act.

In fact, one of the figures included in the group of terrorist golong leaders from Jemaah Islamiyah, Abu Bakar Ba'asyir on the 17 August 2022 commemoration, has hosted an independence ceremony with the leader of the Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture Muhadjir Efendi ceremony, located at the Al Mu'min Ngruki Islamic Boarding School, Sukoharjo Regency, Central Java.

The sad events of religious masking provide a big lesson that the closest environment, namely family, plays a very important role in protecting the nation's wings so that they are no longer broken. Parents who are the first madrasa for someone, must really instill an understanding from an early age that the essence of religious teachings is love.

Educational institutions must also pay great attention to providing proportional religious understanding like their students. Now that the broken wings have recovered, let's together use them to fly together to fill the country's independence that was fought for by the great scholars in the colonial era.
