Abstract

This article examines how Islam is represented in Western media and how Southeast Asian Muslim communities interpret and respond to these representations. Using Hans-Georg Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics and Homi K. Bhabha’s theory of cultural hybridity, this study explores the intersection between Western media narratives about Islam and the regional cultural contexts of Muslims in Southeast Asia. Representations of Islam in Western media often contain orientalist bias and symbolic simplifications that shape the global public’s perception of Muslims. However, Muslims do not always accept these depictions unquestioningly. Traditionally, Muslims in Southeast Asia have negotiated meaning and constructed new identities that combine Islamic traditions with modern values. This study employs a qualitative–hermeneutic approach by analyzing Western digital media texts including online news outlets (BBC, CNN) and popular audiovisual platforms (Netflix, YouTube) alongside Muslim audience responses collected from social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok. The findings demonstrate the formation of a dynamic hybrid identity resulting from the interaction between Western media portrayals and Southeast Asian Muslim socio-religious practices in the digital era. This raises epistemological challenges in understanding religious authority and symbolic meaning in online spaces. Therefore, a more critical and contextual approach is needed in rereading the representation of Islam within the global media landscape.

Abstract

Education is a basic right of every citizen guaranteed by various national regulations. However, in prac-tice, inclu-sive schools in Indonesia still face various challenges, such as limited teacher competency in handling Children with Special Needs (ABK), minimal facilities and infrastructure, weak institutional systems, and social stigma from the community. This condition has implications for the emergence of the phenomenon of "three major sins of education" including sexual violence, bullying, and intolerance. Based on a 2024 study of 408 teachers in Banyumas Regency, it was found that bullying cases dominat-ed with a percentage of 87 percent, followed by in-tolerance at 5 percent, and sexual violence at 0.28 percent. Responding to this problem, the community service team held a workshop on strengthening inclusive school institutions with the aim of increasing the capacity, awareness, and practical skills of education stakeholders. This activity was carried out through the presentation of conceptual materials, technical training, and participatory discussion forums involving teachers from differ-ent inclusive schools. The results of the activity showed an increase in teachers' understanding of the concept of in-clusive education, violence prevention strategies, and skills in handling ABK adaptively. In addition, this pro-gram can also be used as a stepping stone in strengthening a safe and discrimination-free inclusive education eco-system, as well as being a preventive strategy in suppressing cases of the three major educational sins in the school environment.
