| The Essence and Existence of Islamic Culture in Facing the Challenge of Modernism and Postmodernism |
Since the globalization of world politics became state ideology accepted by most of nation-states in the world, there are so many things from foreign countries came to our country, Indonesia. Now, there are cars from Italy we can buy here, there are American foods we can have at the nearest restaurant or café. It is easy for us to enjoy foreign products.
But actually they don’t come here by themselves. They come with the cultures of the countries where the products are made. The Italy car comes with the cultures of Italy. The American food comes with the cultures of America. The more foreign products we have here, the more foreign cultures penetrate our lives.
Okay, to make them obvious, let me explain to you the most appearent foreign cultures in Indonesia and in this world at large.
First, modernism culture. In a book titled Islam and Modernism that is acknowledged by several intellectual Moslems of Oxford University, modernism is a process of following western social system, especially democracy.
In democracy, we have freedom of speech. We can express our ideas bringing forward our arguments for every affairs, by the government or nongovernment organization. For instance, when our president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, made a decision to agree with the United Nations resolution on rejecting the Iran nuclear project, we the people of Indonesia can denounce that decision or even reject it, it is free.
In addition because of wide freedom of speech, by which the people can express their ideas, there is a high development of thought and knowledge. For instance, in European and America countries, where democracy is the political system, thought and knowledge develop as we can see now. In the field of technology, Europe and America are the largest areas where technology develop[p well. In term of knowledge, Europe and America are the ideal places for most of students around the world.
