Dinamika perkembangan islam modern di Indonesia mengalami kemunduran di sektor politik sangat luar biasa. Setiap kali kontestasi elektoral, partai islam maupun kekuatan-kekuatan islam tidak solid dan cenderung terfragmentasi.

Gerakan politik islam di Indonesia sangat parsial, pragmatis, dan transaksional. Orientasi kekuasaan yang sempit membuat kekuatan-kekuatan politik islam ini saling makan satu sama lainnya.

Tidak ada ruang untuk mereka membangun kolaborasi, yang menonjol justru kompetisi tidak sehat terjadi di internal Islam itu sendiri.

Parsialitas gerakan inilah yang pada akhirnya membuka ruang buat kelompok-kelompok nasionalis ini tampil sebagai trendsetter dalam kekuasaan dan organisasi muslim hanya bisa berada pada posisi sebagai followers.

Persoalan lainnya, pimpinan-pimpinan parpol islam terlibat korupsi yang membuat reputasi dan kredibilitas partai islam semakin tidak populer dikalangan pemilih muslim. Hal inilah yang membuat parpol islam ditinggalkan sama pemilih muslim.

Menyikapi situasi diatas, penting untuk dilakukan terobosan dengan merubah mindset pemikiran politik islam di Indonesia.

Wajah perpolitikan islam di Indonesia harus direformasi total dan menyesuaikan dengan ekspektasi publik. Langkah ini penting dilakukan agar orientasi dan visi umat di waktu-waktu yang akan datang bisa terwujud.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
