The Theology Liberation, an Interesting Phenomenon in Politics

The term "liberation theology" (Liberation theology) which originally appeared in the work of Gustavo Guiterez namely A Theology of Liberation (1971) appears to be - to borrow a phrase of Marx - the human out of the process of alienation in the history of life. Although the chances of political participation is wide open, but still a lot of certain communities which are still in the suppression of the truth of their rights.

In addition, the term "liberation theology" in the view of Ali Asghar Eneggineer not confine themselves to areas of pure and speculative thinking, but widened into the most robust instrument to liberate mankind from the clutches of the oppressors, and give inspiration to act with the revolutionary spirit in the struggle with tyranny, exploitation and oppression, because man is the most supreme creation of God, and God Himself glorifies humans, the exploitation and oppression of human actions on the human itself is an act that does not recognize the values the Lord's. From a conceptual reconstruction, the issue is important for Asghar praxis conception of work to make changes to the humanist.

Since the ideals of any religion - particularly Islam, as was said Cak Nur in line with the ideals of humanity - then logically, the political process to achieve the ideals of humanism which, of course, got support from Islamic religious texts. That is, religion will approve the political dynamics that is free without creating alienation and the curtain between fellow human beings. Making political figures as a "god" The state will only bear an unbalanced condition (state of imbalance) in achieving the ideals of politics itself.

Through the climate of freedom and political democracy in the spirit of humanity, the condition is said to Ashgar to free mankind from the clutches of the oppressors, face the tyranny, or thesis Guiterez to exclude people from alienation, will eliminate the phenomenon of fear of freedom and be able to accept the consequences of accountability inherent in institutional and social ethics.
