B.
1. Islam is a holistic religion because this integrate all the aspect of
life. It is a reform movement predicated on religion necessarily
confronts the social, economic, and political realities of the society in
which it develops. There are numerous numbers directly or indirectly
connected to our lives. The relationship which exists between God and His
creation is based on one religion. These fundamental unities are the
foundation of faith. In this respect, Islam is very much a law-oriented
religion. It provides the guidelines and principles upon which laws and
regulations can be established. The influence of Islam must not be viewed
in a narrowly legalistic light but rather as providing a framework which
guarantees basic fairness and justice to all. Islam is holistic,
requiring that its followers have iman (faith) to fulfill the
requirements of its religious tenets. The Muslim is required to express
his Ibada, service to Allah, through his deeds, conduct, and words. The
Qur'an enjoins that Muslims do good and abjure evil. Life in this world
is a passage, and the eternal soul shall be judged by the Almighty on
Judgment Day by intentions as well as by deeds.
2. No we cannot conclude that terrorism, suicide bombings and unequal
treatment of women in Islamic countries are all product of Islamic
fundamentalism because they are not all the same. Muslim societies
emerged from colonialism and neo-colonialism and are seeking to develop
free from certain western influences which may corrupt basic values.
This terrorism, suicide bombings and etc. were contrary to Islamic
percepts. It was also said the Islam wanted peace, propagation and are
free from extremism and violence. There were some Islamic countries who
not condemn the wrong doing of their sisters and brothers. They don’t
want any harm for their families. We should not generalize all because
there are still Islamic people who wanted peace and to have a life that
is just.
