Abstract

This article studies “the homogenizing movement” in Indonesian Islam propagated by conservative Sunni groups in the form of persecuting minorities. However, this paper particularly focuses on the case of a Shia intellectual group in Yogyakarta called Rausyan Fikr which was persecuted by the radical Indonesian Jihad Front (FJI) group in November and December 2013. This paper finds that the scenario to terrorize the Rausyan was not an isolated incident, but the case is part of a grand homogenizing movement in the country. In addition, the anti-Shia propaganda was planned by local perpetrators and national actors: local radicals who persecuted the Shia and conservative activists who propagated anti-Shia ideology in national level. This paper offers fresh accounts of the two new forces which played vital roles in the Rausyan incident: the activists of the Council of Young Intellectual Ulama of Indonesia (MIUMI), who propagated anti-Shia sentiment, and the radical group FJI, which was directly responsible for terrorizing the Shia in Yogyakarta.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v24i1.3354

Abstract

This article explores the paradoxical militarized pluralism as practiced by Banser, the paramilitary wing of Ansor (Nahdlatul Ulama’s youth movement). Based on ethnographic fieldwork and reading literature about the issue, the study reveals how Banser’s ideological training programs propagate pluralistic values at the grassroots level, reinforcing Indonesia’s ideological foundation Pancasila. However, the organization’s reliance on hierarchical command structures contradicts liberal democratic ideals of reasoning and individual conscience. The paper also demonstrates Banser’s dual role as both a bulwark against religious extremism and a site of ongoing ideological contestation in national level of Indonesia and within NU’s. The finding shows a model of “illiberal pluralism” - communally bounded, effective in promoting pluralism in the grassroot level, yet it may slip into authoritarian style, merely fulfilling the political interest of its elite commands. Ultimately, the study questions whether institutionalized militant methods can produce authentic tolerance, or merely enforce a hegemonic version of top-down command. The paper invites broader debates about pluralism’s compatibility with illiberal political frameworks in post-reformasi Indonesia, while democratic trajectory is declining.
