PKS Belum (Partai) Islam (?)

Tsunami politik yang terus menghantam PKS sejak awal tahun ini, terus memicu berbagai reaksi dari berbagai kalangan. Mulai dari akademisi, elit politik, pers, tokoh agama, hingga masyarakat umum.

Diantara sejumlah kalangan yang bereaksi di atas, kalangan yang terdengar paling sadis menelan PKS adalah kalangan pers. Dimulai dari hari pertama LHI diboyong oleh KPK hingga saat ini PKS (akan) didepak dari koalisi setgab, pers tidak henti-hentinya menguliti kemana-mana berbagai prahara tentang partai dengan slogan (lamanya) “Bersih, Peduli, dan Profesional” ini.

Young people are actively engaged at national and global levels in awareness-raising, running educational programmes, planting trees, promoting renewable energy and adopting energysaving practices. The United Nations supports youth in combating climate change through educational programmes, adaptation initiatives and participative involvement. Through coordinative efforts of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Secretariat, youth have a provisional constituency status giving them a voice in international climate change negotiations.

In an obscure, devoutly Muslim ethnic group in Indonesia, women are revered—and own key land and property. There is report on the world’s largest matrilineal society.

Racism is the belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another, that a person’s social and moral traits are predetermined by his or her inborn biological characteristics. Racial separatism is the belief, most of the time based on racism, that different races should remain segregated and apart from one another.
