Abstract

This paper investigates the Lapindo disaster in East Java that affected religious and social changes over the past two decades. Tens of thousands affected community living in the periphery of urban areas have coped with land disputes. However, religion plays an important role in fostering resilient communities. Instead of medical clinics or hospitals, new worship buildings increased in the Lapindo area. This study demonstrates that the Lapindo case is an example of environmental violence by examining critical analysis on anthropocentrism. Anthropocentrism is derived from scripture, describing humans as the most superior beings. Ecofeminism theory of Islamic perspective is critical instrument to analyze environmental violence. In addition, this research includes the concept of religious moderation that denies environmental perspectives. Given the complex issues of environmental issues in the Indonesian context, religious moderation is merely viewed as a matter of interfaith dialogue on tolerance project, yet ignoring environmental trajectory as part of religious moderation campaign. However, it has rarely been viewed as a bridge to solving social problems, such as environmental crises. The research fingding shows the rise of economic-based social crime, gender-based violence, women and children traficking, as well as poverty.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to formulate a sharia-based counternarrative framework to address charity-based terrorism financing while reducing the suspicion and stigmatization of Islamic philanthropic institutions within the Countering the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) regime. It seeks to bridge the gap between terrorism financing scholarship and Islamic philanthropy by offering a normative model that strengthens institutional legitimacy and enables the public to distinguish between credible charitable organizations and high-risk fundraising entities.Methodology – This qualitative library study draws on academic literature on terrorist financing and Islamic philanthropy, as well as relevant policy and regulatory frameworks in Indonesia. Through conceptual synthesis and normative analysis, the study integrates key Sharia principles governing zakat, infaq, and shadaqah into a structured counternarrative framework.Findings – The study finds that dominant approaches to countering terrorist financing largely emphasize legal compliance and risk-based regulation, whereas existing counternarrative frameworks—particularly religious moderation—focus on interfaith harmony and ideological tolerance. These approaches inadequately address how humanitarian appeals are exploited in charity-based terrorist financing. To respond to this gap, the paper formulates a normative model grounded in six sharia principles: ukhuwwah, ‘adalah, ri’ayah, maslahah, tawazun, and shumuliyah.Implications – Embedding these principles within counternarratives can strengthen public trust, reduce the stigmatization of Islamic charities, and support clearer differentiation between legitimate philanthropic institutions and exploitative fundraising entities.Originality – This study bridges terrorism financing research and Islamic philanthropic ethics by shifting the discourse from securitized compliance toward legitimacy-based counter-narrative construction in the Indonesian context.

Abstract

This article traces the fragile and unfinished journeys of former Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) members as they attempt to re-enter the social fabric of Poso, Central Sulawesi. Through an anthropological lens, this study follows how their bodies bear the memory of conflict, how shifting social spaces reconfigure belonging, and how the disbandment of JI in 2024 unsettles older certainties while opening new dilemmas. Field observation from 2023 to 2025 was carried out through regular conversations, shared daily routines, and careful observation of how ex-militants negotiate presence and absence in communal life. The findings reveal that reintegration is not a straightforward passage from exclusion to acceptance, but a crossroads where ambiguities, fractures, and competing life orientations coexist. Rather than a linear process, it is lived as a series of negotiations—between stigma and recognition, faith and everyday survival, silence and speech. By situating these narratives within the anthropology of post-conflict regions, this article underscores the symbolic, interpretive, and relational dimensions of rebuilding social life, and calls attention to how the legacies of religious extremism are entangled with the embodied and spatial practices of return.
