Abstract

Sufism has long been associated with tolerance because of its theological nature that focuses on inner peace. However, this view tends to overlook that Sufi movements are often involved in politics and nationalist discourse. This study explains the social movement logic of a tarekat movement in Indonesia in promoting tolerance and nationalism. JATMAN (Jam’iyyah Ahl al-Thariqot al-Mu’tabarah an-Nahdliyyah) is well-known as a Sufi group currently led by Habib Luthfi. This movement calls to Bela Negara (defending Indonesia) by the jargon ‘NKRI Harga Mati’ (the doctrine of love for the homeland) and Handarbeni (being proud to locality). This research employs multiple analysis methods to examine the factors that underpin the emergence of this movement. I analyzed Habib Luthfi bin Yahya’s lectures (Rais 'Amm JATMAN) from 2020-2021, scattered on several online media such as YouTube and Instagram. Besides, I conducted interviews with several kiai in Idarah 'Aliyah (the central administrator of JATMAN) and I analyzed dozens of events organized by JATMAN in online media. Drawing on social movement theory, I argue that various motivations are overshadowed by the emergence of JATMAN within nationalism. This movement may not only be driven by piety and theological doctrine (Sufism) but also by social movement logics such as political opportunity structure, resource mobilization, and cultural framing.

Abstract

Youth is a part of the structure of society that is vulnerable to being exposed to radicalism. According to a report from the Setara Institute 2011-2012, cases of intolerance that occur in Indonesia are often committed by youth, especially high school age teenagers. In 2017, there has been a spread of religious radicalism doctrine in Batang carried out by several religious leaders towards high school youth age. In response to that, a group of youths in Batang formed a youth community aimed to counteract the spread of radicalism in Batang, Komunitas Santri Batang (KSB). This study wants to see the extent to which the role of youth represented by the KSB against religious radicalism by campaigning for the idea of 'religious moderation'. This study formulates two problems related to the role of youth in campaigning for religious moderation, (1) What is the strategy of the KSB in promoting religious moderation idea? (2) how effective are the programs organized by the KSB related to the prevention of radicalism among youth groups? To answer these questions, the researcher will interview several members of the KSB and participants of the KSB programs. The results of this study indicate that there is synergy between the KSB youth and several agencies in cultivating moderation and diversity dialogue among the community. This can be seen through the KSB community strategy in countering religious radicalism using an inclusive approach and social engagement dialogue. Also, KSB pays attention to strengthening intra-religious relations by involving various youths from different religious mass organization backgrounds in several activities. This strategy is considered effective to counter religious radicalism which often attacks young people.

Abstract

This article examines the criminal law policy in Indonesia regarding the increasing incidence of sexual violence crimes, primarily affecting women. The study adopts a literature research approach, utilizing data from legal regulations in Indonesia and various scholarly works related to the subject. Employing a gender equality approach and maqāsid al-sharī'a, the article concludes that while Indonesia possesses legal regulations addressing sexual crimes, these laws are dispersed across different statutes, resulting in diminished effectiveness. The enactment of the Law on Sexual Violence (UU TPKS) in 2022 signifies a noteworthy development in Indonesia's legal framework concerning sexual violence. This legislation is structured in a more organized and comprehensive manner, incorporating several reforms. Consequently, it instills optimism for enhanced endeavors to eliminate and prevent sexual violence. From an Islamic standpoint, the regulation of sexual violence aligns with the fundamental principles and objectives of Islamic law (maqāsid al-sharī'a). These principles aim to actualize the well-being and benefit of humanity while simultaneously preventing crimes that pose threats to human existence and dignity.   Artikel ini mengkaji kebijakan hukum pidana di Indonesia dalam mengatasi praktik tindak pidana kekerasan seksual yang cenderung meningkat dari waktu ke waktu dan perempuan adalah pihak yang paling banyak menjadi korban tindak kejahatan ini. Artikel ini merupakan penelitian kepustakaan yang sumber datanya didasarkan pada peraturan-peraturan hukum di Indonesia dan sejumlah karya ilmiah yang berkaitan dengan topik kajian ini. Menggunakan pendekatan kesetaraan gender dan maqāsid al-sharī’a artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa Indonesia sebenarnya telah memiliki sejumlah peraturan hukum tentang tindak pidana kejahatan seksual. Namun demikian, aturan-aturan hukum tersebut disusun secara parsial dan tersebar di berbagai peraturan perundang-undangan sehingga menjadikannya kurang efektif. Lahirnya Undang-undang Tindak Pidana Kekerasan Seksual (UU TPKS) pada tahun 2022 menandai adanya perkembangan baru dalam pengaturan hukum tindak pidana kekerasan seksual di Indonesia. Undang-undang ini disusun secara lebih sistematis dan komprehensif dengan sejumlah pembaruan yang ada di dalamnya sehingga ia telah memberikan harapan baru bagi upaya pemberantasan dan pencegahan terhadap praktik kekerasan seksual. Dalam perspektif Islam, pengaturan tentang tindak pidana kekerasan seksual ini selaras dengan prinsip dasar dan tujuan disyariatkannya hukum Islam (maqāsid al-sharī’a), yang ingin mewujudkan kebaikan dan kemaslahatan umat manusia dan sekaligus mencegah terjadinya tindakan kejahatan yang bisa mengancam eksistensi dan kehormatan manusia.

Abstract

This study examines the alignment between Pancasila values and religious moderation in Indonesia's criminal law reform. The old Criminal Code, inherited from the colonial era, has been criticized for its lack of social justice and religious freedom. The key problem addressed is how the new Criminal Code can embody Pancasila values while preventing religious radicalism and extremism. Observations focus on articles in the old code that are seen as unresponsive to human rights and plurality. A juridical-normative approach is employed, analyzing the new Criminal Code's relationship with Pancasila and religious moderation principles. The analysis includes primary legal documents, such as the new Criminal Code, and relevant secondary literature. Philosophical, historical, and normative methods are used to develop legal logic aligned with Pancasila, aiming to solve the problem of religious intolerance. The results indicate that the new Criminal Code introduces significant reforms to protect religious freedom, focusing on preventing radicalism and enhancing rehabilitative sanctions. These reforms represent a major step towards a more inclusive and just legal system. The conclusion drawn is that the new Criminal Code is expected to harmonize criminal law with Pancasila values and religious moderation, providing more humanistic and preventive approaches to religious issues. This research contributes by offering a new perspective on criminal law reform that emphasizes national values and presents a legal model more suited to Indonesia’s diverse society.

Abstract

Pesantren, Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia, traditionally provide dormitories for santri, students dedicated to religious studies from childhood through adolescence. However, adolescence often coincides with heightened curiosity about sexuality, leading to behaviors like "Mairil" and "Nyempet." Mairil involves affectionate interactions between individuals of the same gender, which can escalate to physical actions known as Nyempet, distinct from sodomy. This socio-legal study employs a qualitative approach focusing on substantive justice in criminal policy. The research underscores that Mairil and Nyempet constitute forms of sexual violence prevalent in pesantren. Despite inconsistencies with religious norms and criminal law, enforcement remains inadequate. It advocates for a comprehensive approach involving pesantren and competent authorities to tackle these issues. Key recommendations include enhancing victim protection, enforcing existing laws rigorously, and raising societal awareness through education on individual rights and humanitarian principles. In conclusion, addressing Mairil and Nyempet requires concerted efforts from all stakeholders to ensure justice, protect victims, and promote a more inclusive understanding within Indonesian society and its educational institutions.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic profoundly impacted Indonesia's stability, yet amidst these challenges, a senior official within the Ministry of Social Affairs engaged in corrupt practices related to social grants, an offense stipulated under Article 2 paragraph (2) of Law No. 20 of 2001, amending Law No. 31 of 1999 on Corruption, which mandates the death penalty. This research examines the tension between imposing the death penalty on corruption offenders during emergencies and the human rights perspective, particularly in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative normative juridical method rooted in criminal law and human rights standards, the study reveals that despite the provision allowing for the death penalty for corruption during Covid-19, Indonesia adopts a moderately particularistic human rights stance that regards human rights as universal principles while addressing national concerns. The study highlights Indonesia's nuanced approach to human rights in the context of criminal justice, particularly concerning the application of the death penalty to corruption offenders during crises. It underscores the country's effort to uphold human rights as universal while recognizing national circumstances. This research contributes to ongoing scholarly debates on the intersection of emergency measures, criminal justice, and human rights, offering insights into how states navigate legal provisions in times of crisis to maintain stability without compromising fundamental rights. The findings provide a critical perspective for policymakers, legal practitioners, and human rights advocates grappling with issues of justice and rights protection amid global emergencies.

Abstract

Handling sexual violence cases requires a holistic, human rights-based approach, encompassing prevention, protection, law enforcement, recovery, and ensuring victims' access to justice. Islam advocates equality for all, but its implementation is constrained by the improper handling of many sexual violence cases due to the non-retroactive Sexual Violence Law. This paper proposes the urgency of upholding the principle of retroactivity in criminal law and Fiqh Jinayah to build an anti-sexual violence construction based on justice and equality. This normative juridical research employs conceptual, statutory, philosophical, and historical approaches. This approach provides an in-depth understanding of the concept of justice in the handling of sexual violence, according to Sharia. This study uses the Islamic legal literature and comparative legal studies to examine the urgency of upholding the retroactive principle in criminal law and Fiqh Jinayah. This study confirms that applying the retroactive principle to sexual violence is consistent with the six characteristics of Maqasid Sharia: cognitive nature, interconnectedness, wholeness, openness, multidimensionality, and purposefulness. The retroactive principle is necessary in cases of sexual violence as the primary rule in addressing such crimes, in addition to complementing existing laws and regulations. This principle is crucial to ensure fair law enforcement in cases of sexual violence.
