JAKARTA - Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) once raised the anger of Muslims. The action of the Governor of DKI Jakarta alluded to Al Maidah's letter that he was subject to a demonstration in a veil. The action of 11 February 2017 or Action 112 at the Istiqlal Mosque is one of the special things.
The action was indeed thick political nuances because the title coincided in the quiet week of the 2017 DKI Jakarta Gubernatorial Election. However, no one doubts that Action 112 will be a symbol of religious tolerance. The attitude of tolerance for Muslims is present when guarding Non-Muslim couples who are getting married at the Cathedral Church.
The political world in Jakarta is full of dynamics. The times leading up to the 2017 DKI Jakarta Gubernatorial Election, for example. The hot pressure began to emerge because Ahok said that Al Maidah's letter paragraph 51 was a tool to deceive residents so they did not choose those who were not religious in 2016.
Ahok's speech exploded. Many parties carried away by emotions heard Ahok's speech. They thought Ahok had committed blasphemy. The action of taking to the streets continues to be rolled out by Muslims. Islamic organizations such as the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) to the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) intervened.
This condition is because those who become blasphemers have never been detained or punished. They saw that Ahok could actually appear campaigning freely. The action of Defending Islam was constantly echoed.
Action 411 to the action that attracted the most attention throughout Asia, Action 2 December 2016, or Action 212. The action was considered the biggest action because Muslims could be gathered at Monas and its surroundings. Muslims spilled over on the streets to Monas.
That day there was no room left or empty. The demand is clear so that Ahok can be tried. If necessary and necessary Ahok was annulled from the 2017 DKI Jakarta gubernatorial election. The 212 action did make Ahok a suspect. However, Ahok echoed as a participant in the 2017 DKI Jakarta gubernatorial election.
This condition led to the idea of launching Action on February 11, 2017 or Action 112. The action was carried out in the middle of a quiet week of the campaign. The political nuances are thick. However, the demands are not just Ahok's business. The matters of the security forces who want to criminalize the ulama are also raised.
At first the action was to be held at Monas, but because of compromise with the security forces, the action changed. The action changed from demonstrations to remembrance and tausiah events. The event was attended by more than 200 thousand Muslims.

"The government should not take provocative steps by criminalizing the ulama. If the ulama are allowed to be criminalized, it will be difficult to give understanding to the people. I have become a DPO to be presented at the West Java Regional Police."
"I ask for a lawyer to communicate with the Police. After this event I am ready to come to the West Java Regional Police. Don't worry I will attend. I will undergo the legal process as a good citizen, but there should be no engineering," said FPI Grand Imam Rizieq Shihab in his lecture as quoted on the BBC Indonesia website, February 11, 2017.
Muslims came from all over to attend Action 112 from the early hours of the morning. They made the magnificent Istiqlal Mosque full of shortness of breath. Unsustained action participants filled the streets around Istiqlal. The action went amicably. No acts of destruction were carried out.
The condition of the action was so well maintained. In fact, the action did not interfere with the plan of the Non-Muslim pair, Asido and Felicia, who held a wedding at the Cathedral Church not far from the Istiqlal Mosque.
The Istiqlal Mosque and its surroundings are full of Muslims participating in Action 112. At first their car was stuck in traffic due to crowds of mass action. They and their wedding entourage participants were stuck in traffic about 200 meters from the Cathedral Church choosing to walk.
The crowd of action who saw immediately moved to guard and pave the way for the bride and groom and their entourage to walk. Finally, the couple can have a wedding on schedule. This simple action then went viral in various mass and online media.
The general assembly considers the action of guarding the bride and groom as a symbol of religious tolerance. This action is proof that Muslims really appreciate diversity in Indonesia. Asido and Felicia also proved it themselves how they were well guarded.
"This is God's way, we have been scheduled here. We are grateful, they (mass) really appreciate it," said Asido as quoted by the CNN Indonesia page, February 11, 2017.
