她最勇敢!女穆斯林出席好友葬禮,在天主教堂高唱聖歌!印尼極端穆斯林團體氣瘋了,更多開明穆斯林贊爆了!(內有視頻)
這個女穆斯林在天主教堂獨唱聖歌的視頻,最近在網路上瘋傳。視頻中的女穆斯林是數日前到印尼達麥DAMAI的天主教堂出席摯友凱特莉娜Catharina Suliyanti的告別儀式。凱特莉娜是華裔天主教徒,她與這位女穆斯林生前是很好的朋友,雙方並沒有因為信仰不同而影響友情。
為了表達對失去摯友的哀傷,女穆斯林無畏極端穆斯林的恐嚇威脅,不但親自出席凱特莉娜的告別儀式,還為她開腔獨唱一首聖歌AVE MARIA送別,表達最後的敬意。
可以想像,她的行為看在極端穆斯林團體眼中有多氣憤,討伐她的聲音此起彼落,但是更多開明的穆斯林卻也站出來力挺,讚揚她跨越宗教藩籬的行為值得人們學習。她獨唱AVE MARIA的視頻被上傳到社交網路,短短兩天內就得到上萬個贊及數千個分享。留言的網民大多讚賞她的勇氣,力挺她的行為。
近年來,印尼的極端伊斯蘭宗教主義有死灰復燃的跡象,好不容易平靜了十幾年的印尼社會又在極端宗教主義份子的威脅之下風雨飄搖;雅加達省長鐘萬學事件就是典型的例子,讓人不得不對極端穆斯林邪惡風氣心生警惕。
不過,根據專家分析,目前印尼的極端宗教份子比例還是極少數,絕大多數的穆斯林更嚮往開明及和平的融洽社會。國內的非穆斯林仍然受到政府的有效保護。在許多社區,穆斯林與天主教、基督教、佛教、道教等等都能和平共處,彼此之間也沒有外界想像那樣充滿禁忌。
印尼的開明穆斯林經常前往佛教道場參與慶典活動,也到天主教堂與非穆斯林有著良好的互動;更需要說明的是,印尼是世界上少數開放的穆斯林國家,印尼的穆斯林可以自由改變信仰,只要他/她願意,短短幾天內就可以完成脫教手續。因此非穆斯林娶或嫁印尼穆斯林,是可以選擇要不要進回教的。
當然,在少數極端穆斯林邪惡份子眼中,這些開明穆斯林的行為是受到嚴厲批判的。像這位勇敢的女穆斯林,不但走進天主教堂參與異教徒的葬禮,甚至還獨唱天主教聖歌AVE MARIA,在邪惡的極端穆斯林眼中肯定就是叛教的行為,是要被伊斯蘭刑事法處置,要被丟石頭活活打死的。
印尼絕大多數開明穆斯林由於害怕受到極端邪惡穆斯林恐嚇對付,大多選擇保持沉默。但在邪惡份子越來越囂張的情形之下,越來越多的開明穆斯林已經意識到不能在沉默下去了,越沉默他們越以為好欺負,也讓外界產生錯誤觀感,以為印尼的極端邪惡伊斯蘭主義又復活了。
Viral: Muslim woman sings soaring rendition of 『Ave Maria』 at church funeral as a final tribute to her friend
Many people (including us) are worried about the signs of growing religious intolerance in Indonesia, but that certainly doesn』t mean that the spirit of pluralism and interfaith harmony is gone from this country entirely. Far from it, in fact, as can be seen in this moving musical tribute a Muslim woman recently made to her recently departed friend.
The post by Facebook user Budi Soehardi explains that a friend had seen the woman in the video singing at the funeral service for her best friend, Chatarina Suyanti. 「That (Monday) morning, I attended the requiem mass at the Bogor Cathedral Church. As a last honor (before they closed the casket), the song 『Ave Maria』 was sung by a female soloist wearing a hijab with a tremendous feeling of appreciation. That is the beauty of friendship that doesn』t focus on the differences.」
Budi』s post quickly went viral and has been shared over 10,000 times. A tweet by Twitter user Rexy Ambarwati featuring a different video of the performance also got shared several thousand times.
Clearly, Chatarina Suyanti had many people in her life who loved her greatly and wanted to say goodbye to her in a special way (this post contains a longer version of the first video):
The bond between Chatarina and her friends fill us with hope that the worries about rising religious intolerance in Indonesia really are overblown, that they don』t represent the majority of Indonesians and that the government and others will be strong enough to take the steps necessary to end faith-based discrimination in this country (one of which the Constitutional Court took just the other day). We just need more people who are brave enough to show us them the way.
