Sex Education atau Pendidikan Agama?

Beberapa hari yang lalu, aku melihat berita mengenai banyaknya kasus remaja yang hamil diluar nikah, dimana dari kasus itu merambat pada pembunuhan atau pengguguran bayi-bayi yang mereka kandung. Alasannya? Jelas, ada yang malu karena harus punya anak diluar pernikahan, ada yang takut akan dimarahi orang tua dan ada juga yang belum siap punya anak di usia dini.

Di berita tersebut juga dijelaskan mengapa fenomena hamil atau remaja yang berhubungan sex diluar nikah banyak terjadi. Diberita itu juga disebutkan pendidikan sex yang kuranglah menjadi faktor penyebab banyaknya kasus tersebut, karena kurangnya sex education banyak remaja yang jatuh ke kubangan hubungan seksual pra nikah.

Tapi, Apa benar dengan sex education yang benar-benar 'mantap', banyaknya kasus remaja yang nge-sex diluar nikah bakal berkurang? Mungkin, dari segi hamil di luar nikahnya bisa sedikit berkurang, yang diakibtkan karena para remaja telah mengtahui apa itu alat kontrasepsi dll sebagainya. Namun, alat kontrasepsi sendiri tidak jarang terjadi penyalahgunaan fungsi. Lihat saja salah satu iklan kondom yan pernah ada di Indonesia. Dalam iklan tersebut digambarkan ada seorang WTS yang sedang 'mangkal' dan ia hanya mau berhubungan seksual dengan pria yang menggunakan kondom saja. Memang untuk menghindari HIV Aids dan kemungkinan terjadinya hamil diluar nikah bisa ditekan, tapi esensi dari alat kontrasepsi yang ada dalam iklan tersebut telah benar-benar disalah gunakan. Kita tak perlu lagi was-was karena ia bisa menggunakan alat kontrapsepsi untuk mencegah kehamilan akibat hubungan seksual yang mereka lakukan di luar pernikahan, namun tidak mengurangi 'hasrat' dan 'birahi' untuk takut melakukan hubungan seksual diluar pernikahan.

Mengapa justru bukan pendidikan agamalah yang mesti dikedepanan dalam permasalahan ini?

Padahal dalam agama jelas-jelas, yang namanya zina ataupun berhubungan seksual di luar nikah itu sangatlah di laknat Allah. Hukum islam akan zina sungguhlah berat, bagi pelaku zina mereka haruslah dirajam sampai mati, dan ini telah berlangsung sejak zaman Nabi Musa. Kalau remaja ini mampu menebalkan keimananya, mungkin yang namanya hamil diluar nikah bisa dihindari, dan bahkan hubungan seksual diluar nikah juga bisa ditekan.

Aku jg semakin tersentak akan kasus sperti ini karena ada teman yang berhubungan seksual dengan pacarnya sampai hamil dan hubungan itu dilakukan diluar ikatan pernikah, namun sekrang mereka telah menikah, itupun mungkin terpaksa karena pacarnya yg telah hamil duluan. Belum lagi sejak kuliah di kota besar ini, teman-teman aku banyak yang mencrtakan bahwa anak SMA-SMA di kota besar tersebut, banyak yang telah melakukan hubungan seksual di luar nikah, dan itu wajar. "Hah????" Mungkin aku yang datng dari dearah 'kecil' ini hanya bisa terkejut mendengarnya. "Kok bisa? Gak takut dosa apa?." Seringkali jika ada pembahasan seperti itu saat berkumpul sama teman-teman, perkara dosa dan agama jarang sekali disinggung. Hal ini juga berlaku ketika ada teman aku yang muslim tapi minum minuman beralkohol. Jelas, aku tidak berani untuk berkomentar "Apa gak takut dosa, karena sholat gak diterima selama 40 hari?", yang ada malah merusak pertemanan.

Jadi, pendidikan sex sendiri memang diperlukan, tapi justru agamalah yang harus menjadi dasar dari penerapan pendidikan seksual tersebut. Dengan pegetahuan tentang sex dan efek negatifnya yang kemudian ditambah kemantapan iman, mungkin kasus tersebut dapt dikurangi. Pendidikan sex saja tidak cukup, apa kita mau seperti di negara-negara yang menghalalkan sex pra tanpa nikah, dimana remajanya telah melakukan hubungan seksual di usia remaja, walaupun mereka bisa menghindari kasus hamil diluar nikah karena mereka telah mendapatkan pendidikan sex yang cukup.

Yang ditakutkan itu bukan hamil diluar nikah, bukan karena takut ketahuan nge-seks diluar nikah, (terkadang justru ada orang yang bangga karena ia pernah nge-sex padahal belum nikah. Dosa kok bangga?) bukan juga karena belum siap menimang bayi di usia muda tapi takut berbuat zina. Karena menurut aku, poin utama dari pendidikan sex tersebut dan agama harus mampu agar remaja atau tingkat usia lainnya untuk tidak berhubungan seksual diluar nikah.

Obama's Speech Script: "Osama Bin Laden Dead".




REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT ON OSAMA BIN LADEN

East Room

11:35 P.M. EDT

THE PRESIDENT: Good evening. Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children.

It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history. The images of 9/11 are seared into our national memory -- hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September sky; the Twin Towers collapsing to the ground; black smoke billowing up from the Pentagon; the wreckage of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more heartbreak and destruction.

And yet we know that the worst images are those that were unseen to the world. The empty seat at the dinner table. Children who were forced to grow up without their mother or their father. Parents who would never know the feeling of their child’s embrace. Nearly 3,000 citizens taken from us, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts.

On September 11, 2001, in our time of grief, the American people came together. We offered our neighbors a hand, and we offered the wounded our blood. We reaffirmed our ties to each other, and our love of community and country. On that day, no matter where we came from, what God we prayed to, or what race or ethnicity we were, we were united as one American family.

We were also united in our resolve to protect our nation and to bring those who committed this vicious attack to justice. We quickly learned that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by al Qaeda -- an organization headed by Osama bin Laden, which had openly declared war on the United States and was committed to killing innocents in our country and around the globe. And so we went to war against al Qaeda to protect our citizens, our friends, and our allies.

Over the last 10 years, thanks to the tireless and heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals, we’ve made great strides in that effort. We’ve disrupted terrorist attacks and strengthened our homeland defense. In Afghanistan, we removed the Taliban government, which had given bin Laden and al Qaeda safe haven and support. And around the globe, we worked with our friends and allies to capture or kill scores of al Qaeda terrorists, including several who were a part of the 9/11 plot.

Yet Osama bin Laden avoided capture and escaped across the Afghan border into Pakistan. Meanwhile, al Qaeda continued to operate from along that border and operate through its affiliates across the world.

And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network.

Then, last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden. It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground. I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan. And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice.

Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.

For over two decades, bin Laden has been al Qaeda’s leader and symbol, and has continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends and allies. The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat al Qaeda.

Yet his death does not mark the end of our effort. There’s no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us. We must –- and we will -- remain vigilant at home and abroad.

As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not –- and never will be -– at war with Islam. I’ve made clear, just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11, that our war is not against Islam. Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader; he was a mass murderer of Muslims. Indeed, al Qaeda has slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries, including our own. So his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity.

Over the years, I’ve repeatedly made clear that we would take action within Pakistan if we knew where bin Laden was. That is what we’ve done. But it’s important to note that our counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding. Indeed, bin Laden had declared war against Pakistan as well, and ordered attacks against the Pakistani people.

Tonight, I called President Zardari, and my team has also spoken with their Pakistani counterparts. They agree that this is a good and historic day for both of our nations. And going forward, it is essential that Pakistan continue to join us in the fight against al Qaeda and its affiliates.

The American people did not choose this fight. It came to our shores, and started with the senseless slaughter of our citizens. After nearly 10 years of service, struggle, and sacrifice, we know well the costs of war. These efforts weigh on me every time I, as Commander-in-Chief, have to sign a letter to a family that has lost a loved one, or look into the eyes of a service member who’s been gravely wounded.

So Americans understand the costs of war. Yet as a country, we will never tolerate our security being threatened, nor stand idly by when our people have been killed. We will be relentless in defense of our citizens and our friends and allies. We will be true to the values that make us who we are. And on nights like this one, we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al Qaeda’s terror: Justice has been done.

Tonight, we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who’ve worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome. The American people do not see their work, nor know their names. But tonight, they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of justice.

We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation, for they exemplify the professionalism, patriotism, and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country. And they are part of a generation that has borne the heaviest share of the burden since that September day.

Finally, let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 that we have never forgotten your loss, nor wavered in our commitment to see that we do whatever it takes to prevent another attack on our shores.

And tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11. I know that it has, at times, frayed. Yet today’s achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the determination of the American people.

The cause of securing our country is not complete. But tonight, we are once again reminded that America can do whatever we set our mind to. That is the story of our history, whether it’s the pursuit of prosperity for our people, or the struggle for equality for all our citizens; our commitment to stand up for our values abroad, and our sacrifices to make the world a safer place.

Let us remember that we can do these things not just because of wealth or power, but because of who we are: one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Thank you. May God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America
