Carstensz Pyramid highest mountain in Indonesia

Who does not know of Mount Carstensz Pyramid is located in Papua . The snow-capped mountains is the highest mountain in Indonesia , and is one of the dreams for the climbers to be able to set foot on the peak .

Different sensation experienced climber , was climbing the mountain with snow repose was obtained in almost all the characters mountains in Indonesia .

Based on information collected from various sources Sindonews , snow is expected to shrink and dry up in 2024 , due to global warming .

The calculation is based on empirical data analysis is done using a linear approach Meteorology , Climatology , and Geophysics . So it is not impossible that one day it will lose the snow mountain as it did on Mount Kilimanjaro , Africa .

Carstensz Pyramid peak has an altitude of 4884 M above sea level ( 16023 ft ) . Location coordinates, located at 04 ° S 137 ° E 04 733 and 09 572 , located to the west of the Central Highland called Jayawijaya and mountains Sudirman . Many think that the peak is equal to the Carstensz Pyramide Jayawijaya , whereas the second peak is located adjacent .

In 1623 Navigator of Dutch John Carstensz be the first to bring the word to Europe about the existence of the ice caps in the tropical countries in the geographic equator line of West Papua New Guinea . The results of the report met with laughter by the public at that time . New in 1899 , an interval of three centuries of Dutch expedition was making a map on it confirmed what John Carstensz conveyed . Then immortalized his name in there .

This mountain is located in Indonesia , however, climbers who graced by exploring punggungannya instead mostly foreign climbers instead of the local climbers .

Did you know , every year there are approximately 200-300 foreign climbers explore this mountain , while the Indonesian climbers only dozens of people. It looks strange , but it is a fact that happened on the field .

Investigate a investigate local climbers constrained in terms of licensing . To climb this mountain there are two accesses , namely through Freeport and Ilaga .

Galina Donikara , a senior Wanadri mention to climb this mountain must have a recommendation from Office Affairs , Chief of Police , BIA - Indonesian intelligence , Menhutbun / PKA , PT Freeport Indonesia ( PTFI ) . If you want to pass Tembagapura plus of Indonesian Rock Climbing Federation ( FPTI ) .

" It should all be taken care of in Jakarta . Then in Jayapura , police chief recommendation of Bakorstanasda and must be bagged . In Timika , recommendations PTFI EPO and permission for the track facility . " Last in Tembagapura , coordination with the Emergency Response Group ( ERG ) for handling and Emergency Procedures Satgaspam apparatus to track security issues , "said the mountaineer expedition was incorporated in Indonesia - the '97 Everest .

The series of letters of recommendation is a long list that eventually many makes our climbers prefer climbing abroad. While access Ilaga , it takes even more costs and longer time to reach the base camp .

A seasoned adventurer from the city of Malang , Bambang Hertadi Mas , in 1987 had changed his mind and climb the peak Carstensz expeditions to Kilimanjaro prefer that exist in Tanzania .

At that time he commented , " Mending all outside ( the country ) , yet the costs and difficult permitting process is relatively not much different " .

climbing route

There are three main routes to reach the top of this Caratensz . The first is commonly referred to as route Harrer ( Harrer 's Route ) . These are the easiest to pass. Although it is easy , does not mean everything will be easy to conquer the peak Jaya .

Harrer 's route to travel up and down for about 12 to 15 hours . The level of difficulty ranges between 3-4 standard UIIA . Difficulties in taking this route is when under peak Jaya . The slope of the steep cliffs , up to 10-15 degrees as high as about - about 80 meters , requiring extra caution - caution .

UIIA standard states that the difficulty in this case is 5-5 + . Considerable experience and knowledge in terms of climbing is the main stock . The rock is quite robust and not prone to landslides / off . Difficulties that would be faced even greater when it reaches the jagged rocks that overhang the wall around 10 meters , with a difficulty level of 6-7 + standard UIIA . For beginner climbers this can be overcome by using Jumar as tool accessories.

The second route is the East Ridge . This route is halfway between Harrer and these are the most difficult . The path will go further and will certainly be longer.

The third route is American Direct . This route is a route that would travel straight to the top . These require skill , experience , and also adequate knowledge of Climbing . The worst of these are , the higher the degree of difficulty when approaching the peak , which is a steep cliff , a wall of peaks Cartensz .

the beautiful of bromo

The charm of the beauty of Mount Bromo is certainly very interesting for anyone . Especially for those who love nature and adventure . Not only the beauty of the mountain alone , while traveling in the tourist area of ​​Mount Bromo , beautiful natural scenery surrounding it always seemed to greet us relentlessly .

Mount Bromo is located in Probolinggo which can be reached emergency Pasuruan , Probolinnggo , and Lumanjang . From the bus terminal , Bayu , Anga , and I use public transport type L 300 with a cost of Rp 30 thousand per person heading to Mount Bromo . But keep in mind , because public transport is heading to Mount Bromo from the terminals of public transport is quite rare , it is recommended better to leave early .

After traveling for about 1.5 hours , finally arrived at Mount Bromo . There has been a lot of foreign and domestic travelers who come to enjoy the beauty of Mount Bromo tour . Entering the tourist areas there is no entrance fee for visitors .

There are many options to get to the mountain .

When crossing the sea of ​​sand , wind storms with sand fly seems to be a mandatory menu that will hit the visitors . Interestingly , around the sea of ​​sand that contained chunks of black rock which is the trace of the eruption of Mount Bromo in a few months ago . So is the expanse of plants and bushes that looked blackened and dried .

Around Bromo also a florist dried edelweiss and other flowers were given colorful. The dried flower prices offered with prices starting at Rp 20 thousand per strapped him . The journey across the Sand Sea to the crater of Mount Bromo it would require a fairly strong stamina . Lots of travelers who seem to rest many times because he felt exhausted . Especially with the hot sun scorching overwritten .

Pura Luhur Poten Pura named was used as a place of worship and religious ceremonies for Hindu religious communities are in the area around Mount Bromo and at the center of ceremonies Yadnya Kasada and a traditional ceremony Tengger sharing.

style hijab for each religion

What comes in mind when seeing one woman with headscarf or hijab? "A good Muslim"? or even "goody people"? 

Whatever it is, I think the hijab is not a symbol that belongs only to Islam or pious person may only be used. So if it feels right do not rush to conclude that the hijab is a Muslim means. As it turns out not only Muslims know that using a head covering. 
Long before Islam, many cultures or other religions in which people first use of the hijab.

catholic

hindu 

amish

and many other examples of cultural or religious head coverings that women use .

Well , the motivation of women using the headgear also vary , but the Indonesian people seem to immediately tell people who use the Islamic head cover means ( because the majority may be ) , and certainly think that the reason people wear hijab because he was pious and religious obey ( ? )

At least so my first assumption , when previously I ( only ) using an Islamic perspective , I like to wonder ( to myself ) why would anyone hijab but sometimes removed using that sometimes , and sometimes also conduct contrary to the rules of his religion . To sum up my thoughts at the time like this :
"If the command executed hijab , why that person does not follow the other rules ? "
Eg like gossip hijab but why ? hijab but why dating? etc. . ( Although it's not a problem for me )

But when I tried to take off my glasses and look from another point of view , I found other reasons someone using cloth cover page. Like for example :
To cover up the disease ,
Hair styles were ugly ,
The physical size / chest ,
To get a mate ,
Look prettier with head cover ( fashion ) ,
As accessories / follow mode ,
Pretend that is considered pious ( as is usually the hijab at -judge more reliable ) ,
Economic reasons ( eg wearing the hijab in order to sell or trade clothing such Muslim demands in movie acting roles , etc. )
Forced by the environment ( rule region of residence , coercion of parents / spouse , environmental labeling , etc. ) .
The reasons as above was actually there . But because most people assume everyone he was kept for the same reasons ( reasons to follow the rules of the religion ) , people who think like that will be surprised to see people perform actions that hijab was not in accordance religion , these people protest ( such as my own experience previously had ) . Though it is not necessarily a hijab is a Muslim .
Kalopun a Muslim , does not necessarily believe the same rules with the protest . 's What I mean ; the interpretation is different , it could be Islam different from the people who protested against Islamic rules are believed people were protesting . Nah .

My own opinion, not hijab hijab that right someone , I realized other reasons as above . Memakluminya and not protest again if you see the hijab but contrary to Islam . Love-love the person he was kept anyway . :)

Well , speaking of the reasons above , the unfortunate people may be forced hijab . I know there are some women who use the hijab because it was forced to rule in the region ( eg Aceh ) . I also know it turns out there are new since the veiled young but growing up he was an agnostic or atheist , and did not dare open the hood for fear the judgment of others . How tired of living in pretense .

From there I learned , do not seem to judge / judge people from the outside view . Wearing the hijab ( head cover ) it was not necessarily Muslim . So do not be surprised if abroad, see the hijab but apparently a Sabian , Zoroastrian or even atheist . : D

Speaking of hijab , if a Muslim is a reason for choosing veiled by religious rules , I strongly agree with the way the Muslim hijab like this:

(Veil covering the hair, chest, waist up, and do not show curves. Only the hands and face should not be covered.) 

But that does not mean I agree, if someone wearing a hijab other than as above then di'kafir'kan. Not that I agree the forbidden-forbid wearing hijab with other styles in addition to styles such as the photo above, someone said that in addition to the above it will match the style of a people (eg Christian, Jewish, etc.). hmm not well, because after all they actually exist and style first above was first there in the other.

Yaa, a good Muslim with my assessment standards are usually considered not good Muslims by 'other Muslims'. That's why I said it was not feasible for us to judge because there will always be contrary to our judgment.

challenge the hijab in the west

Now a lot of violence on the jilbaber in the West , especially after the American bombing of the Twin Towers in September 2001 . Needless other main reason is because the West has contracted the virus named ' Islam Phobia ' . The term ' phobia ' is used to fear or anxiety a person without any specific causes .

Actually, the phobia of Islam has existed since the first , but after the WTC bombing phenomenon is intensified stretcher term and strengthened . Post this incident often hostile attitude of the United States of Muslims being branded as a terrorist teachings . Islam Phobia virus is then spread to Western countries , especially in Europe . Effect of phobiawan or phobiawati in France led to a ban on Muslim women to wear veils , who later Muslim communities in countries of non - Muslims commemorate ' International Hijab Solidarity Day ' every first week of September . Memorial Day was spearheaded by the Assembly for the Protection of Hijab since 2004 , as a form of protest over the veil ban imposed countries France .

In France , a woman who wears the veil niqob or cover the entire body , will be fined 150 euros and are required to attend re-education classes . While men who force their female family members to wear niqob , may be subject to tougher penalties including imprisonment of two years and a fine of 30,000 euros or more . So , how cruel the West treat women , especially the jilbaber .

The phobiawan or phobiawati Islam is already understood that Islam does not teach violence but teaches peace , beauty , tolerance , mutual respect , and others . But for them when there are some Muslims who perform bizarre acts , such as terrorism or any bad or harmful , then it is their chance to damage the image of Islam with all its reputation .

Most of the hardline group or radical Islam holds that by violence they can realize their goals . Actually they have a goal to eradicate all kemungkaran in this world , but sometimes the way they are wrong , they often take a "shortcut" to solve a problem . Maybe the problem is the radical Islamic hijab menghukuminya hard anyway . When in fact he was kept restrictions khilafiyah this is a problem between scholars , and according jumhur ( mostly scholars ) say that the female genitalia is the entire body except the face and palms . Because of the abuses committed by the radical Islam that Westerners claim that Islam is a religion that is loud and filled with violence , even Muslim women is said to be a terrorist . When in fact relegated to the world of Islam as a tolerant religion , religion rahmatan lil ' alamin , the teachings of which was a blessing for the entire universe not as a religion of fear and violence .

Marwa Al - Sharbini is one of the victims of Islam phobia in Germany . Marwa is a Muslim from Egypt who obedient to the rules of Islam and fight for hijab in Germany . Marwa did not accept he was harassed as a Muslim woman wearing a headscarf prohibition , so that eventually Marwa appeal to the court to demand their rights as citizens of a Muslim , but that he got the opposite. A mother of three children who were 3 months pregnant this should eventually fall with 18 stab a knife in his body is done by Alex Wiens , a young German Russian descent , only on behalf of the veil . The German government tried to cover up the case on Wednesday July 1, 2009 that , but they were unable to stem the news that has spread to the world and ultimately reap the anger and curses Muslim communities in Egypt and Germany as well as all Muslims in the world who still care the moral values ​​of the Prophet. Chairman of the Assembly for the Protection of Hijab , German , Abeer Pharaon , via IOL website said , " He ( Marwa ) victims of Islam phobia , which is experienced by many Muslims in Europe . Day commemorated the death of Marwa and feasible to serve as the World Hijab Day . " And then the words of Abeer 's got a lot of support from leaders of the Muslim world .

misconceptions of hijab

Today many of the sisters who are still reluctant to hijab with specific reasons , including :

1 . Hijab is hard
Most sisters think that Islam is difficult and troublesome , one with pensyariatan hijab . According to them women are not free in Islam , women have always been within the confines of the norms to be followed .
Whereas in fact , Islam is compatible with human nature , all the demands of life in Islam and all human beings are also expected only in Islam . As we have seen , so many rich people who spend their money non- Muslims only to find peace of mind and comfort of living . But they could not find it because they are far away from Islam . Yet if if they join Islam ( converted to Islam ) and only ask help from God , then he will effortlessly find peace of mind as to what they are looking for .

2 . Hijab difficult to get a mate
Sisters need to know , that the hijab is one of the characteristics that the sisters are women Sholihah . And if the sisters wanted to get a pious husband , the sisters will not get it if it has not hijab ( veil for women is one of the characteristics Sholihah ) . And pious men will only look for women Sholihah , even the bad boys temperament will look for women who Sholihah . As the word of God :
والطيبات للطيبين والطيبون للطيبات
" And good women are for good men and good men are for good women ( too ) . " ( Surat an - Nur : 26 )

3 . Yet no guidance
Most sisters reasoned that God has not given to him for guidance hijab . The reason this is so diametrically opposed to the word of God in the Al - Quran :
والذين اهتدوا زادهم هدى وآتاهم تقواهم
" And those who seek advice and guidance of Allah , then Allah will reward of piety . " ( Surah Muhammad : 17 )
So that guidance should be sought not wait to sit on my hands alone . And a lot of things you can do to get the guidance , as is the case with many draw closer to God and pray to Him , then God willing, that guidance will come , because God is never wasted effort charitable and His servants .

4 . Rizqi Fear did not come
Allah says in Al - Quran :
وما من دابة في الأرض إلا على الله رزقها
" And there is no reptiles on earth but God was the one who gave rezkinya . " ( Surah Hud : 6 )
So , we as creatures of God do not have to worry about the coming rizqi , because in fact it is a secret rizqi God creature that no one knows when and where it will come good luck . God will bring rizqi from all sorts of sources and in a variety of ways that may not be terkirakan by His creatures . On the other hand , God also has manjanjikan happiness and ease in one's life if he is pious deeds , like the hijab .

5 . Hijab is not taqlid Shari'ah
Many people assume that the hijab is just a taqlid or went along , not shari'ah or the command of God to His servants . This assumption is contrary to the arguments of the hijab which we have explained above . So it is obvious that the Qur'an was the one who ordered us to hijab , not a mere taqlid .

6 . Faith is located in the heart
Many of the teenagers who reasoned like this , " Wear hijab later , her important first , " or " Wear hijab later than the later released again . " This statement is very ambiguous , not if we want to fix the heart ( mind ) then we need to fix his heart too ? As it is said that a person shows his inner heart .
So hijab is one way to repair and cleanse the liver , because the hijab would be to adjust to a growing sense , arranging hearts , attitudes and behavior with wearing hijab . Hijab is also the most straightforward simple worship . And from here , with the hijab , it will fortify itself from disobedience and kemungkaran common today such as sexual harassment and so forth .
So no need to wait for her good and clean for hijab , because we never know when death will pick up , and if death comes it is not gunalah any charity . Therefore, if hijab can be done at this time , so no need to wait for a good heart first, then with hijab hijab first we try to improve ourselves . Good luck !

7 . With the hijab as if back to the days of camel again
" Wearing the hijab ? no ! , not fashionable , not cool ! " Reason is usually often leveled by Muslim youth . They assume that the hijab , they can not move , can not express the way they want , and can not follow the current fashion trends nge - hits .
Actually, the hijab is not a good reason to claim that the hijab would die style , with hijab women can not express , even the fashion trend was nge - hits today are Muslim dress shirt . The proof , the brand ' Gucci ' ( one of a brand that has worldwide ) have introduced the Muslim clothing on the international scene

why women should wear the hijab ?

Islam prescribed any thing according to nature and human capabilities. As well, women were given obligation to care for her children because basically women are created by God with nature to his mother, and a woman to put forward their feelings. While the men are obliged to provide for his family because God created man with his strong nature and man his thoughts put forward reasonable.

Similarly, hijab, hijab is prescribed only for women because women were prone to slander, because it was created with beauty, sound, and movement fascinating. While the men are safe from slander, especially the famous of men with brave-nature-to's and all of his leader. So if men wear the hijab or headscarf then he will look weak and will even abused.

So also as mentioned in the hadith that women are the most dangerous trap satan. And as it is said that a woman is jewelry, not fine jewelry it is maintained, while the cheaper open?!
