Last night, I got a text from my best friend, Imam. He said that Pengajian's website (www.menebarhikmah.multiply.com) is suddenly blocked in Indonesia due to the spread of Fitna in the Internet world. He also told me that whoever disseminates the film to public domains will be charged for the blasphemy against religion. Those who committed this crime will be sentenced in jail for a maximum of 5 years. Having read the following news from Kompas, my heart started beating more intensely, since I have already put the film in this blog! Gosh, there is a danger of ignorance. How people know that I spread the film to incure bad images of Islam, while my intention is actually to encourage people to judge that the film is no more than cheap propaganda against Islam.
Thanks to Imam that I have read the article on Kompas. I quote an argument below from the newspapers that has caused me trapped in the sudden blow of trembling:
"Untuk para penyebar film Fitna ini, karena masuk dalam kategori pidana umum, maka penyidikan dilakukan oleh Kepolisian. Kejaksaan, nantinya hanya bertugas sebagai penuntut. "Sampai hari ini belum ada laporan (penyebar disidik polisi)".
[Trans: For those who disseminates the film, Fitna. Since the action is regarded as civil offence, the investigation will be conducted by the police. The attorney, later, will only act as a prosecutor. Up to now there is yet a report about (the offender being investigated by the police)].
Today, I had to drop off the content of the film from my blog although I suffered from a pang of sadness. I don't expect that someone will misunderstand my basic intention to gain proporsional perspectives on viewing Islam. I need to stimulate people's knowledge about the true face of Islam. Is Islam a religion of peace or a religion of fascism? Then, I also checked the pengajian's website on which I often surf to update the pictures of Indonesian Muslims in Melbourne. I was surprised and shocked that the website couldn't be accessed as usual.
I questioned myself as to why this webpage denied to be accessed. The web provides information on the discussion of two classical Arabic books which are full of moderate values: tanbih al-Ghafilin and Nasha'ih al-Ibad. Pengajian is a kind of Islamic discussion circle attended by Indonesian Muslims to learn from rudimentary materials up to advanced subjects of Islam. Our discussion is by and large around the beauty of Islam and how Indonesian diaspora is represented nicely in the foreign land. I believe, Islam is the most misunderstood religion in the world recently.
Below are two news about the ban of some websites and the legal consequence of whomever disseminating the film. The former is an announcement from Telkom (State telecomunication agency), and the latter is a brief article from Kompas (Indonesian newspapers). Both articles are written in the Bahasa:

Penyebar Film Fitna Dikenakan Pasal Penodaan Agama
Selasa, 8 April 2008 | 20:58 WIB
JAKARTA, SELASA - Hati-hati bagi anda yang masih nekat menyebarkan film Fitna. Kejaksaaan dan Kepolisian telah mempersiapkan jerat hukum bagi penyebar film Fitna. Tak tanggung-tanggung, pasal yang bakal dikenakan adalah pasal penodaan atau penistaan agama. Yakni pasal 156a KUHP dengan ancaman maksimal 5 tahun penjara.
"Untuk yang menyebarkan film Fitna, bisa dikenakan pasal 156a KUHP. Termasuk penistaan agama," tegas Jaksa Agung Muda Intelijen (Jamintel) Wisnu Subroto seusai menjadi pembicara dalam seminar yang dilaksanakan Pusat Pendidikan dan Latihan (Pusdiklat) Kejagung di Ragunan, Jakarta, Selasa (8/4).
Penegasan serupa juga telah disampaikan Wakil Jaksa Agung Muchtar Arifin. Menurut Muchtar, film Fitna tersebut bisa mengancam kententraman dan ketertiban masyarakat. Dalihnya, mayoritas warga Indonesia adalah Muslim. "Bisa dikenakan pasal penodaan agama," terang Muchtar.
Dijelaskan Wisnu, pemerintah telah meminta Departemen Komunikasi dan Informasi (Depkominfo) untuk melakukan pemblokiran terhadap akses internet yang menjadi media penyebaran film yang dibuat oleh anggota parlemen Belanda Geert Wilders.
Untuk para penyebar film Fitna ini, karena masuk dalam kategori pidana umum, maka penyidikan dilakukan oleh Kepolisian. Kejaksaan, nantinya hanya bertugas sebagai penuntut. "Sampai hari ini belum ada laporan (penyebar disidik polisi)," ujar Wisnu. (Persda Network/yls)
