Indonesia is a nation that embraces the ideology of Pancasila which most people still believe that the Pancasila is still powerful because it has always escaped the various attempts to destroy, and has always been a place back when the Indonesian nation experienced a prolonged conflict. It is said by Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court (MK), Moh. Mahfud MD at Islamic boarding school of al-Gazhali, Bogor, Saturday (1 / 10).

Further Mahfud MD said Pancasila in 1965, although at least embraced by the new order, but there is an attempt by the PKI to dig Pancasila ideology of communism, but Pancasila still win. Then in the time of the Reformation, when the system changes and constitutional structure, many people who do war (demonstration) which says that if the Pancasila should be replaced or not? But Pancasila win again." Therefore, do not think Pancasila is replaced with another, is not going to win. And, that’s where the magic is said Pancasila, "said Mahfud MD in the presence of a number of NU leaders, including the wife of President Abdurrahman Wahid of Indonesia-4, Sinta Nuriyah, Chairman of the GP Ansor Nusron Wahid, and hundreds of students of Ponpes Al-Gazhali.

Mahfud MD is also said that there are four things that serve as guidelines and the foundation of the ideology of Pancasila which gave birth to four guide and mentor in the life of nation and state. First is the integration of the peoples and all nations, including the integration of territorial and ideological integration." Therefore any action to break up the territorial atapun ideology that must be confronted," he explained. Second, Mahfud said, building a state must be based on democracy (popular sovereignty) and nomocracy (legal sovereignty). The third is a guide to life, and uphold social justice. And fourth, Mahfud MD quoting the language of Bung Karno, namely religious tolerance a civilized, ie must appreciate the difference as something that nature.

In addition to explaining the meaning of an ideology of Pancasila, Mahfud also explained how important events of the fall of Jerusalem into the hands of Muslims. According to him, the city of Jerusalem is a holy city, and according to the Jews, Jerusalem is a city of the Jews because of who built the city of Jerusalem is a descendant of King Solomon of Prophet Musa. Meanwhile, according to Christians or Catholics considered the city Yarusalem is their holy city because once Our Lady retreat there before the birth of Jesus. "However, in the Al-Quran says that Siti Maryam is a very good man, very pious people, and events are also mentioned in the Quran," said Mahfud.

For that, according to Mahfud, there are three great religions that claim to Jerusalem is a holy city theirs. However, for hundreds of year’s three religions still get along. Until finally in the year 999, religion and war broke out cross. In this case, when the Muslims conquered Jerusalem, continued Mahfud MD, Caliph Umar bin Khattab came to Jerusalem where Muslims happen to the mayor. Then the Mayor said, "I will hand over the keys of Jerusalem to the Caliph Umar himself, not to a warlord who had conquered the city of Jerusalem."

After Umar arrived there, at that time came dhuhur prayers, and Father who were there said to Umar, "Please to do dhuhur prayers at Masjid Al-Aqsa." But Umar said, "I do not want to pray in the mosque, but in the vacant lot. "Then there is the friend said to ‘Umar why you do not want to pray in the mosque of this noble? And Umar replied, "If I pray in the mosque, the mosque think I want to master this alone, think later in the holy city of Jerusalem is considered Islam’s holiest city, and this is ours together," said Mahfud MD quoted Umar Bin Khattab.

Mahfud MD cited Imam Ghozali that people will face huge problems if the government was not true. "Damage to government could be because his scientists, the inteletualnya, and clerical had been damaged. Therefore, if you want to save it all is the spirit of Pancasila, "he said.
