ID RELIGION,[object Object],Nadia Wahika,[object Object]
When you compare the Indonesian KTP with identification cards from other countries (such as Malaysia or The Netherlands), one thing you might notice is that unlike the Indonesian identification card, they do not state the religion of it’s owner. ,[object Object]
Id religion
History,[object Object],The official law dates back to the 1960s, when Indonesia was still struggling against Communist parties and also against tribes with a different religious belief that still practiced human sacrifice. ,[object Object],Since the 1960’s there is an organization specifically constructed to keep track of religions in Indonesia called PAKEM (PengawasAliranKepercayaanMasyarakat). ,[object Object]
What started out as an organization to keep track of religions, PAKEM then turned into an organization that judges whether certain beliefs can be officially recognized. ,[object Object],With PAKEM around, many local beliefs have been forced to identify themselves as one of the six religions Indonesia recognizes. ,[object Object]
The Government’s Side,[object Object],Even after a huge debate that happened in 2006 regarding the tendency of people using the identity cards as a source of discrimination, Indonesia’s House of Representatives and government have decided to keep listing one’s religion on identity cards. ,[object Object]
Members of different faiths outside of Indonesia’s six recognized religion (Islam, Christianity, Catholicism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Confucianism) criticized the decision as a violation of human rights.,[object Object],The government is worried that if the law is revoked, blasphemy may arise. ,[object Object]
A Tool For Discrimination,[object Object],The Religion column in Indonesian ID's cause discrimination, it does not do anything to help the country be whole. ,[object Object],Stating a religious identity on a card could bring potential danger to someone if they happen to be in an area of “conflict”.,[object Object],You can’t leave blank the space for religion on an Indonesian ID card or else you are likely to face difficulty attending college or university, getting a job or even marrying and having children. ,[object Object]
Identifying religion on the KTP encourages division of a nation. Since people start thinking that they are a part of a community built on the foundation of religion rather than a citizen of a nation. ,[object Object],Discrimination of minority faiths do happen often. Such as the state declining to record marriages of people of or people born to indigenous beliefs. ,[object Object]
Violation of the Constitution,[object Object],The rejection of traditional beliefs was a serious violation of the Constitution, which guarantees freedom of religion. Salvation is found not only in the six religions but also in traditional beliefs.  ,[object Object],Article 28 of the Constitution clearly states that the government must recognize all religions and faiths.,[object Object]
A Political Motive,[object Object],A Muslim scholar, BuddhyMunawarRachman of Paramadhina University, said that: ,[object Object],"Politicians are well aware that religions constitute the single most important attribute by which the people identify themselves and they play the religion card to garner as much support as possible.”,[object Object]
Global Awareness,[object Object],Most of the countries in the world do not state one’s personal beliefs as a part of their identity. With the exceptions being, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, others. ,[object Object],Human Rights Watch and the Asia Human Rights Commission said the decision was a setback for democracy in the world’s most populous Muslim country. ,[object Object]
Examples from History,[object Object],We all know what happened in Europe in the 30’s and 40’s, where the Jews got the character J stamped on their IDs, it was the perfect tool in the extermination of the Jews, resulting in 6.000.000 people killed. ,[object Object],We saw what happened in Rwanda where the ID’s stated whether you were a Tutsi or Hutu, resulting in 800.000 people killed.,[object Object]
Conclusion,[object Object],It all comes down to the question: Is identifying your religion on your identification card necessary? Does it add any guaranteed services from the government? Or is it just used in a political agenda or as a tool in discrimination. ,[object Object],If the government must list someone’s religion in their identity card, then they should not only recognize six official religions as everyone has the right to their personal beliefs. ,[object Object]
