Abstract

Since the collapse of the authoritarian Suharto regime in 1998, Indonesia has witnessed an escalation in the activism of Islamic revivalist movements whose goals revolve around the implementation of sharia and the re-establishment of the caliphate. Some of these movements, including HTI (the Liberation Party of Indonesia), FPI (Islamic Defenders Front), and FUI (Forum of Islamic Community), remain active today. While much has been written about HTI and FPI, very little attention has been paid to FUI. Since its emergence in 2005, FUI has played an active role in public activism. This article examines the ideologies and discourses of FUI as it engages in a contestation of meaning in the country’s contemporary socio-political milieu. The article opens with a discussion on the ideologies and discourses of HTI and FPI, since they have contributed to the social construction of FUI’s ideologies and discourses. It argues that HTI has bequeathed a legacy of immense influence on the way in which FUI develops its frames of protest. However, this influence is in no way left intact and undisturbed. Rather, it is negotiated, and the existence of FPI is believed to have affected the extent to which FUI shapes its framing processes.
