DEMOCRACY BASED ON ISLAMIC TEACHING AND PRACTICE, AND BASED ON THE CULTURE AND TRADITION VALUES OF INDONESIA COMMUNITIED

I'm sorry, I do not discuss what Cammeroon promises for his people. But in this chance I will introduce about democracy in Inslam and democracy in the local culture and tradition in all region Indonesia. First I introduce how Islam teaches government formation and governmental application as practiced in the very beginning of Islamic Ummah (State City, Yatsrib, now Madinah). To determine who will be a khalifah is decided through election, and who get a majority voice will be appointed as the khalifah. Contrary with the West Democracy based on the conflict theory as describe by the Government Parties as the executor of Governmental affairs, and the Opposition Parties, as the parties controlling the governmental affairs by Government, Islam develop collaboration between all elements of Society. Based on this collaboration principle, not only khalifah, but also all elements of ummah impose role and responsibility in accordance with their knowledge and capability. So, all of ummah elements have role and responsibility. Therefore, contrary with the West Democracy in which the winner as the holder of power monopoly in creating government except if a party has no enough vote to form a government, it can form coalition government by asking the other parties to form the government, in Islam the creation of government involve all elements of ummah based on capability, competence and proportional principle. The role of all communities include the non believer especially the Jews community clearly lay down in the Madinah Charter. Based on this Charter all of communities in Yatsrib have role and responsibility in defending, and developing this city state. This Charter likewise give autonomy to all Jews communities to settle the case related to the treachery conducted by their member.
The explanation of the democracy in local tradition in Indonesia will be explained later.
