Abstract

This article proposed the term moderate fundamentalism, as a tool in understanding the defining characteristic of the PKS. In short, the term refers to fundamentalism in a moderate perspective, enabling moderate fundamentalists to be involved in political activities adaptively and without resorting to the use of radical means. Using this term, I argue that the PKS is a part of the fundamentalist faction, differentiating it in principle from other modernist groups or parties in Indonesia. Its moderate nature, however, also differentiates it from the radical camps within the fundamentalist faction. The use of the term moderate fundamentalism allows for the observation of diversity within the fundamentalist faction and contributes to new insights into present-day Indonesian Islamic political parties.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v14i3.546

Abstract

Dalam kehidupan politik dan masyarakat modern, peran Ummat Islam dalam memperkuat civil society tidak dapat diragukan. Di wilayah Asia Tenggara hal itu tercermin dari pengakuan dan penghormatan terhadap pluralisme, sebagai salah satu komponen utama dari civil society, oleh organisasi Islam besar di dua negara muslim terbesar di kawasan tersebut, Indonesia dan Malaysia. Di Indonesia, komitmen itu ditunjukkan oleh NU dan PKS dengan pengakuan atas kebhinnekaan dan dukungan terhadap sebuah konsep negara yang dilandasi oleh landasan toleransi dan kebangsaan. Sementara di Malaysia dukungan terhadap pluralisme oleh ABIM dan PAS diperlihatkan dengan sikap akomodatif terhadap kelompok-kelompok non-Muslim dan penolakan atas semangat komunalisme. Dengan mengambil nilai-niai dan metode berpikir dari tradisi Islam, organisasi-organisasi itu menunjukan bahwa Islam baik dalam pemikiran maupun praktek merupakan elemen pendukung dalam perkembangan civil society.

Abstract

Religion-based political parties, particularly Islamic parties, are often perceived as being less committed in comparison to secular parties in preserving pluralism. Some people regard them to have hidden agendas which are not proper for Indonesia as a plural country. By exploring the ideals and practical aspects of several main Islamic parties, this article wants to show the nature of Islamic parties’ views and attitudes in answering political diversity that in the long run indicates the real position of this party in pluralism in politics. To measure Islamic parties’ commitment on pluralism, this article would explore some issues namely (1) the main purpose of party establishment, (2) concept on the ideal form and foundation of a state, including the vision on Pancasila (3) attitudes towards minority groups, including the non-Muslims, Ahmadiyah, Syiah and any other minority group (4) policies related to religious concerns, including rights to have religious education, Islamic Syariah establishment at the local level, and radicalism, (5) compliance to develop political cooperation with secular and non-Muslim parties. The discussion will also touch upon the reason behind the response towards pluralism as well as addressing the question on whether the response towards pluralism is based on pragmatic interests or Islamic idealism. Discussion on this response of the Islamic parties will also reveal the gradation and level of commitment of the Islamic Parties to pluralism, which in general tend to be supportive towards pluralism.
