Jihad and Jahid?

AMBON volatile. Riots have also subsided after two years of progress. Some people were demonstrating in front of the Presidential Palace.
The President was then held by Gus Dur, who died on December 30, 2009.
Them on behalf of the interests of Muslims, asked the government to resolve the case of Maluku, which has not been too visible signs will subside. They threatened that if the government is not able to resolve the case, they will go for jihad to the cities in East Indonesia.
Seeing so many mass demonstrations, in front of the Palace anyway, Gus Dur invited their representatives to dialogue in the Castle.
In the dialog that took place, it seems hard to achieve common ground. Even the occasional sound of a loud speaker outside the room where they were. Apparently the protesters insist will still strive to Ambon.
The meeting only lasted a few minutes, because the tense atmosphere, finally broke up without agreement without anything.

Two days later, the number of visitors to the Palace. President Gus Dur told the incident. He then stated that the government will act decisively.
"I do not care," said Gus Dur.
"Is he a Christian, whether he is a Muslim, that threaten the security of the countries will be legally process. Do not jihad, or want jahid, if the interrupt will be arrested!"
His guests are just confused, did not have time to ask. They should be asked, "If we had understood Jihad. But what does it mean that Jahid Gus?

Pray Big Brother! !!!

Appearance of Gus Dur when giving an introduction to the state address the 55th Anniversary of Independence of the Republic ndonesiaI at the Plenary Session of the Parliament in August 2000, much different than when he was present at the same place to answer the interpellation Parliament. This time he looked tense. His face was a bit sullen.
However, all the tension finally liquid as well. The members of the House even made ​​a few times with laughter by his humor.
In the middle of a speech without text, Gus Dur told me about a bus conductor from North Sumatra are hanging on the door of the bus. When a speeding bus, the bus driver apparently did not know if the conductor fell hit by another bus. The conductor also fell down. His head hit the road immediately and crack. His breath was panting.
At that moment came a Betawi conductor who tried to help the dying man.
"My brother..! pray!, pray!" he said with his mouth close to the conductor's right ear.
The purpose of this Betawi people, so that the conductor had called the sentence a dying creed La ilaha ILALLAH, before he died. But because the conductor was not a Muslim, he was associate requests with reference to his profession.
So shortly before breathing his last, the conductor had had time to call, "Blok.. M-M-Blok..M-M ..Depok.. Depok ..."

Note : Blok M & Depok are the name of bus station

Members of the House of Representatives Damned

One day in the middle of nowhere, came a new policy that has not been done before in another country. That policy is, every person who is a deputy was promoted. Vice president to be president, vice-director to director, deputy commander of the commander lieutenant governor becomes governor and so on. What is important in this program there are no evictions position. If dual position arises, it can be arranged in the distribution of duties. Swelling budget problem, all borne by the state. After steady with that plan, this program is referred to the House of Representatives for their approval. Apparently they refused. Really balked. In fact, rejected out of hand very hard. The reason, the program was miserable members of the House. Imagine, they will change the status of deputies to the people.
