As a first step, the Committee advertised the inquiry in the national press and called for written submissions to be lodged with the Committee. A total of 101 submissions was received, details of which are contained in Appendix 1. The Committee began conducting public hearings on 19 July 1999. 1.2 In view of the dynamic and dramatic events that took place in East Timor in September 1999 following the popular consultation, the Committee presented an interim report to the Senate on 30 September 1999. In that report, the Committee presented its conclusions and recommendations on matters that it believed should not be held over to the end of the inquiry. 1.3 Subsequently, the Committee continued its hearings, the final one being held on 10 April 2000. Details of the hearings are contained in Appendix 2. The Hansard transcripts of evidence taken at the hearings are available on the Internet (http://www.aph.gov.au/hansard/). 1.4 The Committee had wanted to visit East Timor to see for itself the destruction wrought after the popular consultation and to speak to Interfet and local authorities. However, the Committee’s application to visit East Timor was rejected by the President of the Senate. One member of the Committee and one participating member, who contributed to the inquiry, visited East Timor on two occasions, once as an election monitor and the other time with another parliamentary committee. 1.5 The popular consultation, as stipulated by the 5 May 1999 tripartite agreement signed by Indonesia, Portugal and the United Nations, took place on 30 August 1999 and, in contrast to the militia violence which had preceded it, was marked by a remarkably peaceful atmosphere, high voter turnout and efficient organisation. The result of that ballot was announced on 4 September, with 78.5 per cent of East Timorese voting for separation (in effect, for independence) rather than for autonomy within Indonesia. The announcement of the ballot result was followed by the outbreak of a campaign of violence and destruction across East Timor. 1.6 In the days after the announcement of the result of the popular consultation, the Indonesian military put into operation plans to transport large numbers of East Timorese to West Timor and other parts of Indonesia. This was accompanied by an unrestrained rampage of killing, looting and burning throughout the territory by the militias, encouraged and assisted by the regular armed forces and police.

    AKAL DAN WAHYU DALAM PEMIKIRAN M. QURAISH SHIHAB Yuhaswita* Abstract Reason according to M. Quraish Shihab sense is the thinking power contained in man and is a manipation of the human soul. Reason is not understood materially but reason is understood in the abstract so that sense is interpreted a thinking power contained in the human soul, with this power man is able to gain knowledge and be able to distinguish between good and evil. Revelation according to M. Quraish Shihab, is the delivery of God’s Word to His chosen people to be passed on to human beings to be the guidance of life. God’s revelation contains issues of aqidah, law, morals, and history. Furthermore, M. Quraish Shihab reveals that human reason is very limited in understanding the content of Allah’s revelation, because in Allah’s revelation there are things unseen like doomsday problems, death and so forth. The function of revelation provides information to the sense that God is not only reachable by reason but also heart. Kata Kunci: problematika, nikah siri, rumah tangga Pendahuluan M.

  • Female Circumcision: Between Myth and Legitimate Doctrinal Islam
    Jurnal Syariah, Jil. 18, Bil. 1 (2010) 229-246 Shariah Journal, Vol. 18, No. 1 (2010) 229-246 FEMALE CIRCUMCISION: BETWEEN MYTH AND LEGITIMATE DOCTRINAL ISLAM Mesraini* ABSTRACT Circumcision on female has sociologically been practiced since long time ago. It is believed to be done for certain purposes. One of the intentions is that it is as an evidence of sacrifice of the circumcised person to get close to God. In the last decades, the demand for ignoring this practice on female by various circles often springs. Reason being is that the practice is accused of inflicting female herself. Moreover, it is regarded as a practice that destroys the rights of female reproduction and that of female sexual enjoyment and satisfaction. Commonly, female circumcision is done by cutting clitoris and throwing the minor and major labia. This practice of circumcision continues based on the myths that spread so commonly among people. This article aims to conduct a research on female circumcision in the perspective of Islamic law. According to Islamic doctrine, female circumcision is legal by Islamic law. By adopting the methodology of syar‘a man qablana (the law before us) and theory of maqasid al-syari‘ah (the purposes of Islamic law) and some other legitimate Quranic verses, circumcision becomes an important practice. Again, the famous female circumcision practice is evidently not parallel with the way recommended by Islam. Keywords: circumcision, female, Islamic law, tradition * Lecturer, State Islamic University Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, mesraini@yahoo. com 229 Jurnal Syariah, Jil. 18, Bil. 1 (2010) 229-246 INTRODUCTION Circumcision practice is a tradition, known worldwide and admitted by monotheistic religions members especially the Jewish, Muslim and some of the Christians.

    *Timoroan: One Land, One Nation, One Future 30 August – A Day For All Timoroan Timoroan National Identity in Timor-Leste A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Emanuel António de Araújo Braz School of Social Sciences Victoria University September 2014 Timoroan: National Identity in Timor-Leste Page | 1 Abstract This thesis explores the multidimensionality of contemporary Timoroan as reflection of the narratives of politics and history that engulfed Timor-Leste since the 1500s and that in many respects continues to this day to inform who the Timoroan are and what Timor-Leste is. Timor-Leste is a proud nation and the Timoroan have every right to be proud, there is much to be proud of, but unfortunately this confidence and pride has been chipped away by almost 500 years of occupation, pillage, manipulation, oppression and death. That contemporary literature continues to perpetuate the Timoroan as conflict prone, or poor, or fragile, and underdeveloped shows how history serves the strong and the dominant rather than the less strong and more accepting. Timor-Leste is shaped by its history that has taken over the lives of the Timoroan for half a millennium and distracted the Timoroan from its destiny and purpose still being defined today and into the future. One cannot look at the Timoroan and Timor-Leste today without deconstructing what close to 500 years of forced occupation does to a people and the spiritual, ideological, physical and environmental ecology of an island. This thesis approaches the narratives of the Timoroan and Timor-Leste from a purely Timoroan academic perspective and in this regard this thesis looks at the history of colonialism and invasion and its impacts on the Timoroan from the other side of the fence, that is from the side of the Timoroan, from inside-out.

  • Bab I Pendahuluan
    1 BAB I PENDAHULUAN A. Latar Belakang Masalah Indonesia sebagai Negara kepulauan terbesar di dunia karena jumlah kepulauanya sekitar tiga belas ribu kepulauan dan jumlah penduduk hampir mencapai dua ratus juta jiwa. Bahkan Indonesia dikenal juga sebagai masyarakat yang terligius dan beradab karena masyarakatnya bertuhan. Dalam kaitan ini, Joahim Wach menegaskan bahwa tidak ada agama tanpa Tuhan karena agama adalah perbuatan manusia yang paling mulia dalam kaitannya dengan Tuhan Yang Maha Pencipta. Kepadanya manusia memberikan kepercayaan dan keterkaitan yang sesungguhnya.1 Hal ini, sesuai dengan keyakinan agama yang dianut oleh masyarakat Indonesia, bahkan diperkuat dengan falsafah bangsa Indonesia yang termuat dalam Pancasila yang pertama adalah Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa. Agama yang ada di Indonesia adalah bertuhan karena tidak bertuhan berarti bertentangan dengan Pancasila, bahkan tidak diakui sebagai agama. Maka keberadaan Tuhan adalah masalah pokok dalam setiap agama karena agama tanpa kepercayaan kepada Tuhan tidak disebut agama.2 Oleh karena itu, Edward B. Tylor mendefinisikan agama sebagai “belief in spiritual being” karena agama termasuk suatu 1 Joachim Wach, The Comparative Study of Religion, {New York and London: Columbia University Press, 1958}, hlm.

    McKnight provides a superbly documented analysis of how the Communist International organized its clandestine activities and the guidelines for underground and covert political work that it laid out for Communist parties around the world. He provides as well case studies of Comintern conspiratorial activities and demonstrates how this covert work later overlapped with and contributed to Soviet foreign espionage undertakings. Students of both the Comintern and the various national Communist parties will have need of this book. John Earl Haynes, author of The Secret World of American Communism and Venona: Decoding Soviet Espionage in America From the 1930s to the 1950s a significant number of left-wing men and women in the United States, Britain, Europe, Australia and Canada were recruited to the Soviet intelligence services. These people were amateurs rather than professional intelligence workers, and the reasons for their success is intriguing and has never been satisfactorily explained. Using recently released Soviet archives, this book seeks to explore the foundations for these successes in the deliberately concealed tradition of underground political activity which was part of the communist movement. This tradition, which became extremely useful to Soviet intelligence, also explains the origins of the 'tradecraft' of espionage. The book seeks to contribute to the study of the causes of the early Cold War, by explaining how this underground tradition led to espionage. This book shows that while allegations of disloyalty during the Cold War were often part of a witchhunt, the Left and their liberal allies sometimes unwittingly had a number of skeletons in their own closet. David McKnight has studied and written about espionage and politics for over 15 years.

  • UNCORRECTED PROOFS © JOHN BENJAMINS PUBLISHING COMPANY 1St Proofs 224 Michael Cysouw
    Chapter 7 A typology of honorific uses of clusivity Michael Cysouw Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology In many languages, pronouns are used with special meanings in honorific contexts. The most widespread phenomenon cross-linguistically is the usage of a plural pronoun instead of a singular to mark respect. In this chapter, I will investigate the possibility of using clusivity in honorific contexts. This is a rare phenomenon, but a thorough investigation has resulted in a reasonably diverse set of examples, taken from languages all over the world. It turns out that there are many different honorific contexts in which an inclusive or exclusive pronoun can be used. The most commonly attested variant is the usage of an inclusive pronoun with a po- lite connotation, indicating social distance. Keywords: politeness, respect, syncretism, clusivity 1. Introduction In his study of the cross-linguistic variation of honorific reference, Head (1978: 178) claims that inclusive reference, when used honorifically, indicates less social dis- tance. However, he claims this on the basis of only two cases. In this chapter, a sur- vey will be presented of a large set of languages, in which an inclusive or exclusive marker is used in an honorific sense. It turns out that Head’s claim is not accurate. In contrast, it appears that inclusive marking is in many cases a sign of greater so- cial distance, although the variability of the possible honorific usages is larger than might have been expected. There are also cases in which an inclusive is used in an impolite fashion or cases in which an exclusive is used in a polite fashion.
