saco-indonesia.com, Indah Dewi Pertiwi atau yang akrab disebut dengan IDP ini tengah akan menyiapkan album ketiganya. Diakui IDP, beberapa nomor di album tersebut terasa lebih up beat jika dibanding dengan lagu-lagu di album sebelumnya yaitu Hipnotis (2010) dan Teman Terindah (2012).

"Lagunya lebih banyak lagu up beat, bersama dancer nantinya. Album ketiga ini aku juga pengen kasih 70 persen up beat nya. Warna juga akan dibedakan," kata IDP di Sasana Kriya, TMII, Jakarta Timur .

IDP juga inginkan album ketiganya tersebut tetap bisa mendapatkan apresiasi dari penikmat musik tanah air. Ia pun juga akan berusaha keras untuk dapat mematangkan materi album. Hingga rela memundurkan jadwal rilis album.

"Harusnya di tahun ini, tapi kita pengen undur di tahun depan, karena ini kan album penentuan buat aku. Soalnya album pertama kan pencapaiannya baik ya, album kedua juga lumayan," lanjutnya.

"Nah aku pengen tingkatin seperti album pertama, dengan pencarian lagunya, ada beberapa lagu tapi yang nggak pas, nah aku coba sortir lagi," tutur pelantun lagu Aku Tak Berdaya.

Meski belum ikut serta dalam penulisan lagu, namun IDP juga tetap terlibat dalam isi album. "Yang pasti aku juga akan lebih ikut serta, karena perbedaannya sangat terlihat sekali. Untuk saat ini lebih ke curhat aja, karena aku belum ada keahlian untuk nulis ya," tandasnya.

Al-Quran à sebagai Huda Linnas هُدًى لِلنَّاسِ= petunjuk bagi manusia dan Basyoirulinnas بصائرللناس = peneropong bagi manusia.....

Al-Hadist à Sebagai contoh dan peraktek ibadah yang telah dikerjakan oleh Rasululloh SAW .

Maka dengan memahami isi Quran dan Hadist kita dgn jelas kita bisa membedakan antara yg perintah dan larangan, antara yg haq dan yang batal, antara yg pahala dan dosa, antara yg halal dan harom dllsb. Disamping itu didalam melaksanakan ibadah kita yakin dan mantap bahwa ibadah yang kita kerjakan ini pasti benarnya, pasti syahnya, pasti diterima Alloh dan yakin di balas Surga ........ firman Alloh dalam Al-Quran surat Al- Anam ayat 153

وَأَنَّ هَذَا صِرَاطِي مُسْتَقِيمًا فَاتَّبِعُوهُ وَلا تَتَّبِعُوا السُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ عَنْ سَبِيلِهِ ذَلِكُمْ وَصَّاكُمْ بِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ

Artinya:

Dan sesungguhnya ini (Al-Quran) adalah jalan-Ku (Alloh) yang benar maka ikutilah Al-Quran dan jangan mengikuti beberapa jalan (selain Al-Quran) maka beberapa jalan itu akan memisahkan kamu dari jalan Alloh, Demikian itu Alloh wasiat padamu agar kamu bertaqwa.

Dan firman Alloh lagi dalam surat Al-Imran 31

قُلْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي ; يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ

Artinya: Ktakanlah (Muhammad) jika kamu cinta pada Alloh maka ikutilah aku (nabi) maka Alloh akan cinta kepadamu dan mengampuni dosa kamu. Adapun Alloh Maha Pengampun lagi Penyayang.

Dan sabda Rasululloh SAW dalam riwayat Malik Muwatto’

تَرَكْتُ فِيكُمْ أَمْرَيْنِ لَنْ تَضِلُّوا مَا تَمَسَّكْتُمْ بِهِمَا كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَسُنَّةَ نَبِيِّهِ

Artinya: Telah kutinggalkan padamu 2 (dua) perkara yg kamu tidak akan tersesat selama berpegang teguh dengan 2 perkara tersebut yaitu : KITABULLOH (Al-Quran) dan sunnah nabiNya (Al-Hadist)

Dan sebaliknya dalam melaksanakan ibadah jangan sekali-kali berdasarkan keyakinan dan pendapat sendiri atau pendapat seseorang atau menurut keyakinan orang dalam melaksanakan ibadah, dengan kata lain hanya berdasarkan tulisan- tulisan atau kitab-kitab selain Quran dan Hadist yg belum jelas kebenarannya dan tidak ada jaminan kebenaran dari Alloh dan rasulnya yg akibatnya pasti akan menyimpang dari jalan kebenaran, maka ini pasti menjadi orang yg tersesat, menjadi orang yang dalam Al-Quran disebut “عَامِلَةٌ نَاصِبَةٌ = amalanya membuat musibah berdasarkan firman Alloh dalam Al-Quran surat Al-Anam 116

وَإِنْ تُطِعْ أَكْثَرَ مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ يُضِلُّوكَ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِنْ يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ

Artinya: Dan jika kamu (muhammad) mengikuti kebanyakan orang yg ada diatas bumi mereka akan menyesatkan mu dari jalan Alloh. Tidak ada mereka kecuali hanya mengikuti perasangkaan sendiri dan hanya berbuat dusta.

Dan ada lagi firman Alloh dalam surat Al-Baqoroh 79

وَيْلٌ لِلَّذِينَ يَكْتُبُونَ الْكِتَابَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ ثُمَّ يَقُولُونَ هَذَا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ لِيَشْتَرُوا بِهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا فَوَيْلٌ لَهُمْ مِمَّا كَتَبَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَوَيْلٌ لَهُمْ مِمَّا يَكْسِبُونَ

Artinya: maka neraka Wail bagi orang2 yg menulis kitab dengan tangan mereka dan mereka mengatakan bahwa ini dari sisi Alloh,mereka menukarkan/ menjual kitab Alloh dengan harga yg sedikit (demi kepentingan dunia) maka neraka wail bagi mereka yang menulis kitab dengan tangan mereka dan neraka wail pula bagi yang mengerjakannya.

Dengan  demikian ........  kita sebagai umat Islam harus menyadari bahwa bicara masalah agama dan masalah ibadah tidk dapat diukur dengan landasan pemikiran manusia.

Jika Alloh dan Rasulnya telah menetapkan bahwa itu benar........ kendatipun kebanyakan orang mengatakan salah...... dan akal kita tidak dapat menerimanya, akan tetapi itulah yang benar..........

Demikian pula sebaliknya jika Alloh dan RasulNYa telah perintahkan suatu perkara maka harus diterima seutuhnya...... dan apa adanya.... tidak boleh ditambah ataupun di kurangi sebab apa... menambah urusan ibadah berart BID”AH dan mengurangi urusan ibadah adalah KHIANAT........

Semoga nasehat ini bermanfaat bagi kita semua.................................

Late in April, after Native American actors walked off in disgust from the set of Adam Sandler’s latest film, a western sendup that its distributor, Netflix, has defended as being equally offensive to all, a glow of pride spread through several Native American communities.

Tantoo Cardinal, a Canadian indigenous actress who played Black Shawl in “Dances With Wolves,” recalled thinking to herself, “It’s come.” Larry Sellers, who starred as Cloud Dancing in the 1990s television show “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman,” thought, “It’s about time.” Jesse Wente, who is Ojibwe and directs film programming at the TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto, found himself encouraged and surprised. There are so few film roles for indigenous actors, he said, that walking off the set of a major production showed real mettle.

But what didn’t surprise Mr. Wente was the content of the script. According to the actors who walked off the set, the film, titled “The Ridiculous Six,” included a Native American woman who passes out and is revived after white men douse her with alcohol, and another woman squatting to urinate while lighting a peace pipe. “There’s enough history at this point to have set some expectations around these sort of Hollywood depictions,” Mr. Wente said.

The walkout prompted a rhetorical “What do you expect from an Adam Sandler film?,” and a Netflix spokesman said that in the movie, blacks, Mexicans and whites were lampooned as well. But Native American actors and critics said a broader issue was at stake. While mainstream portrayals of native peoples have, Mr. Wente said, become “incrementally better” over the decades, he and others say, they remain far from accurate and reflect a lack of opportunities for Native American performers. What’s more, as Native Americans hunger for representation on screen, critics say the absence of three-dimensional portrayals has very real off-screen consequences.

“Our people are still healing from historical trauma,” said Loren Anthony, one of the actors who walked out. “Our youth are still trying to figure out who they are, where they fit in this society. Kids are killing themselves. They’re not proud of who they are.” They also don’t, he added, see themselves on prime time television or the big screen. Netflix noted while about five people walked off the “The Ridiculous Six” set, 100 or so Native American actors and extras stayed.

But in interviews, nearly a dozen Native American actors and film industry experts said that Mr. Sandler’s humor perpetuated decades-old negative stereotypes. Mr. Anthony said such depictions helped feed the despondency many Native Americans feel, with deadly results: Native Americans have the highest suicide rate out of all the country’s ethnicities.

The on-screen problem is twofold, Mr. Anthony and others said: There’s a paucity of roles for Native Americans — according to the Screen Actors Guild in 2008 they accounted for 0.3 percent of all on-screen parts (those figures have yet to be updated), compared to about 2 percent of the general population — and Native American actors are often perceived in a narrow way.

In his Peabody Award-winning documentary “Reel Injun,” the Cree filmmaker Neil Diamond explored Hollywood depictions of Native Americans over the years, and found they fell into a few stereotypical categories: the Noble Savage, the Drunk Indian, the Mystic, the Indian Princess, the backward tribal people futilely fighting John Wayne and manifest destiny. While the 1990 film “Dances With Wolves” won praise for depicting Native Americans as fully fleshed out human beings, not all indigenous people embraced it. It was still told, critics said, from the colonialists’ point of view. In an interview, John Trudell, a Santee Sioux writer, actor (“Thunderheart”) and the former chairman of the American Indian Movement, described the film as “a story of two white people.”

“God bless ‘Dances with Wolves,’ ” Michael Horse, who played Deputy Hawk in “Twin Peaks,” said sarcastically. “Even ‘Avatar.’ Someone’s got to come save the tribal people.”

Dan Spilo, a partner at Industry Entertainment who represents Adam Beach, one of today’s most prominent Native American actors, said while typecasting dogs many minorities, it is especially intractable when it comes to Native Americans. Casting directors, he said, rarely cast them as police officers, doctors or lawyers. “There’s the belief that the Native American character should be on reservations or riding a horse,” he said.

“We don’t see ourselves,” Mr. Horse said. “We’re still an antiquated culture to them, and to the rest of the world.”

Ms. Cardinal said she was once turned down for the role of the wife of a child-abusing cop because the filmmakers felt that casting her would somehow be “too political.”

Another sore point is the long run of white actors playing American Indians, among them Burt Lancaster, Rock Hudson, Audrey Hepburn and, more recently, Johnny Depp, whose depiction of Tonto in the 2013 film “Lone Ranger,” was viewed as racist by detractors. There are, of course, exceptions. The former A&E series “Longmire,” which, as it happens, will now be on Netflix, was roundly praised for its depiction of life on a Northern Cheyenne reservation, with Lou Diamond Phillips, who is of Cherokee descent, playing a Northern Cheyenne man.

Others also point to the success of Mr. Beach, who played a Mohawk detective in “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” and landed a starring role in the forthcoming D C Comics picture “Suicide Squad.” Mr. Beach said he had come across insulting scripts backed by people who don’t see anything wrong with them.

“I’d rather starve than do something that is offensive to my ancestral roots,” Mr. Beach said. “But I think there will always be attempts to drawn on the weakness of native people’s struggles. The savage Indian will always be the savage Indian. The white man will always be smarter and more cunning. The cavalry will always win.”

The solution, Mr. Wente, Mr. Trudell and others said, lies in getting more stories written by and starring Native Americans. But Mr. Wente noted that while independent indigenous film has blossomed in the last two decades, mainstream depictions have yet to catch up. “You have to stop expecting for Hollywood to correct it, because there seems to be no ability or desire to correct it,” Mr. Wente said.

There have been calls to boycott Netflix but, writing for Indian Country Today Media Network, which first broke news of the walk off, the filmmaker Brian Young noted that the distributor also offered a number of films by or about Native Americans.

The furor around “The Ridiculous Six” may drive more people to see it. Then one of the questions that Mr. Trudell, echoing others, had about the film will be answered: “Who the hell laughs at this stuff?”

Mr. Tepper was not a musical child and had no formal training, but he grew up to write both lyrics and tunes, trading off duties with the other member of the team, Roy C. Bennett.
