F. Cultural Assimilation in Aceh
Every nation has their cultural patterns. Owned cultural distinctiveness of an area is a reflection of the regional identity. Aceh has many distinctive cultural style.
Culture is also a social legacy that can only be owned by the community that supports it.
Prof Dr H Aboebakar Atjeh in his paper on the seminar Aceh Cultural
Week (PKA) II, wrote in August 1972 that initially the customs and
culture of Aceh is very thick with Hindu influences. He referred to several previous books ever written by an oriental.
It happened because before Islam came to Aceh, the Acehnese people are influenced by Hindu elements.
After Islam came hindu elements that are contrary to Islam removed,
However the tradition which was considered not deviate maintained.
All cities after islam hindu strong in Aceh was destroyed.

CHAPTER III
CHANGES IN CULTURAL PHENOMENON IN ACEH
Phenomenon 1:
Cultural Shifts From Post-Tsunami Aceh
Ridwan Sjah (02/22/2005 - 08:09 pm)
Jurnalnet.com Jurnalnet.com (Banda Aceh):
Acehnese culture is inseparable from the culture of Islam in Aceh since
Pasai Ocean Empire, which became the center of broadcasting Islam in
Southeast Asia, is now gradually shifting post-earthquake followed by a
devastating tsunami devastated Aceh Darussalam (NAD) and killed over
200,000 people man on December 26, 2004. Shifting the culture, be seen in the character dressed for Muslimat. Muslim women must wear clothes that cover genitalia complete with a veil that covers the head to below his shoulders.
If before the disaster, the Acehnese taboo to see women walking without
a veil that covers the head to the shoulders, then the post-tsunami
seemed to have not a taboo anymore. No one rebuked, no one else cares.
Muslimat are seen leisurely walk through the streets without wearing
hijab, whereas before they seemed to always wear the veil in the lawless
province of Islamic law since the government of President Abdurrahman
Wahid (Gus Dur) it.
Women Muslimat post-natural disaster that had dared to sit on a bike
rode the dikenderai a man who is not a mahram without wearing hijab, as
every day is now visible in the streets of the capital of Banda Aceh.
Looks motorcycle ride three people, a man who mengenderainya with two women sitting in the back.
The women were not veiled, even back skin and underwear visible, such
as clothing that is now widely used young Indonesian women today. In fact, it had never encountered in the country who runs the Islamic Shari'a.
As proclaimed Islamic Sharia to be implemented in the country which is
known as Mecca's Porch, Muslimat women simultaneously welcomed by
wearing clothes with a scarf Muslimat.
Nanggroe (country) Aceh Darussalam (safety zone) is the only area of
the privileged, since the government passed the area as an area that
can perform the Islamic Shari'a, and the people of Aceh who missed the
welcome Shari'a implementation.
However, the culture began wearing hijab decaying, especially the
post-tsunami that destroyed 15 of the 21 cities in Aceh and destroyed
nearly all home residents.
Many children have been orphaned, do not have a father and mother, or a
father does not have a mother and vice versa, his relatives were dead
or missing in the tsunami.
H.Abdullah said, one of the leaders in Aceh,
"If
non-Muslims is understandable, but it is a lot women Muslimat start
taking off the veil, not like the old days before the devastating
earthquake and tsunami that has killed and eliminate over 200 thousand
people in Aceh "Apparently the most devastating natural disaster in
Indonesia that does not make people frightened and wary, even women are
now more desperate, he said.
In restaurants and shops in Banda Aceh, many women do not wear hijab Muslimat. They sat chatting, joking as if nothing ever happened devastating natural disasters in the region.
Imam Mosque in Lampaseh Babussalam, Meuraxa district, Banda Aceh,
Basri, also expressed concern, because it can no longer apply the
Islamic Shari'a in Aceh earth, since the region during the reign of
Sultan Iskandar Muda-known strong hold the principles of Islamic
Sharia. "We want to implement Islamic law, but on the other circumstances that do not support the implementation of sharia," complained teuku it.
He admitted as much wickedness going on in Aceh and the disaster is a
warning to the people of Aceh Indonesia in particular and the nation in
general and this should be a whip for humans, in order to run the
Islamic Sharia in earnest.
"This is God's wrath, for disobedience many were occurred in Aceh earth. They do not love the mosque, which became the center of worship for Muslims, "he said.
Most areas of Banda Aceh, Aceh Besar, Aceh Jaya, was destroyed, but the
mosque remains standing upright, not exposed to the wrath of the
tsunami and terkaman. Man should be willing to repent to Allah before the same event over and over again.
Also you do not seem to wear hijab for cultural erosion Muslimat, Aceh
is also not apparently harmed by the start of affection among the
Islamic community in the country.
Dr. H.
Bukhari Daud, MEd, educational leaders in the area, said, now are
beginning to look again there is love among the Acehnese are Muslims but
Islam teaches that Muslims were compassionate.
"No more love among the community . In
fact, there are up to the heart and the heart to cut off the fingers
and arms dead woman to take gold in the ring finger and the hand, "he said.
There are also people take home fences are still good, then destroyed
and transported by car to be sold, and that the rights of others, he
added. He said the concern over the bad deeds, and ask that the perpetrators are aware, do not commit that sin.
He asks, that the entire country boy (Aceh) and mengakaui realize mistakes over the years.
"Sesalilah all our fault deep, then repent to Allah with all sincerity." He berharapkan Similarly, people move from bad to good habits.
Analysis:
According to our group, why the tsunami in Aceh, many women take off
veil / scarf, which is difficult to control because of disappointment to
his Creator.
They felt it was running properly religious Shari'a, such as prayer,
chanting, avoiding prohibited religion, and so forth, but their homes
still a terrible disaster struck. Post-tsunami, they might think, to what religion sharia run, if disaster struck eventually anyway. In addition, they lose their role models during life, such as family, relatives, and the local cleric who often lead them.
Plus, foreign cultures, especially western culture is slowly entering
into the territory of Aceh itself, making the locals will not forget the
old culture they have long done. Because some of it, they feel helpless and decided to take cover their private parts, in this case the veil / hijab.
Phenomenon 2:
The story of punk kids in Aceh police building
December 20, 2011 - 2:26 am
Kids Story scouted Aceh Punk Police
There were admitted sad and no one wanted to change for the better.
VIVAnews - As many as 65 members of the punk community in Banda Aceh
were arrested after holding a concert this weekend, get guidance on
Police School (SPN) Aceh Besar.
Some are sad and some are claimed to want to change for the better when
following the guidance that was held from Tuesday, December 13, 2011.
Wearing clothes police, during the 10 days they trained line of march. They also get guidance and trained mental discipline. When you first enter the training camp, their hair had been shaved and they are required to bathe regularly.
M Fauzi, one of the trainers of the NES Seulawah said during police

• source: headline
Analysis:
Can be seen, the Acehnese culture is thick with the teachings of
Islamic law was "receding" after the tsunami with the emergence of
several cases before the cases this punk kid, with the advent of action /
denudation case has been proved that the culture of Aceh was not really
"low tide ". Why? Yes, obviously due to the Acehnese punk culture was not there and was not taught. Because it is
the public image of a close follow-punk anarchists and adopts the freedom (of expression).
When viewed from the perspective of the general public or any of the rights. Clearly the government do it is contrary to human rights.
For violating the principle of freedom (of expression) for every human
being should be respected by all the people of the world. Since both sides of this perspective is that now it is being debated. But back in the old adage that says
"Where's foot rests, there dijinjing sky" whose meaning is more or less where we are, culture / values that apply to where we are is what we keep.
However, not all children are so punk, because punk community Jakarta
alone there are Muslims who have a good attitude, because in their
community learn about Islam and how to behave.
And of the phenomena that we can, punkers were given counseling,
teaching, theology and education, so that they can know more about
religion and good behavior.
CHAPTER IV
CONCLUSION
1.1 Conclusion
Aceh is one part of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia at
the west, which has a variety of cultures, arts, lifestyle, and
language, and so forth.
The diverse cultures derived from earlier ancestors, plus cultural mix,
which was adapted from previous history ever passed in Aceh alone. Aceh was devastated when the tsunami struck on December 26, 2004. Acehnese culture began to change.
Aceh is known as the city of Mecca porch, because in addition to the
majority of the population converted to Islam, Islamic rule was quite
strict, and always enforced. However, the growing years, the development of culture, had seen a change in the culture of hijab on women in Aceh. Post-tsunami, women without hijab looks normal and not strange. Inversely as the pre-tsunami, which looks strange women without headscarves in Aceh. Plus the punk community in Aceh, as an expression of the work, lifestyle, and socialize. Community punk look familiar to the city government of Aceh and local residents, as the eccentric dressed, and seemed sloppy. It is all against the Acehnese culture that has a fairly high level of discipline in carrying out daily activities.
Efforts have been made in recent years to introduce and reintroduce
the beauty of silat to Indonesian youth and the world. Exhibitions and
promotions by individuals as well as state-sponsored groups helped the
growing of silat's popularity, particularly in
