Abstract

Multiculturalism is the best alternative model that can offer a policy of interaction and bilateral enrichment to the dominant culture and the minority culture concerned. While religious pluralism offers a policy that is analogous with integration policy. Religion becomes a resource for value and norms which can influence the way of thinking, mental attitude, and behaviour of the dominant culture and minority culture in the society. Multiculturalism tries to gradually change all the minority cultures to be eventually fit in the batter within the dominant culture without seeing the values and norms of the religions followed. Similar with the liberal-democracy state, ethnic conflict in Indonesia empties into the conflict of local ethnics versus the incoming ethnic (immigrant). Impact of this conflict has caused social crisis and economic crash and the migrant’s ethnic environment and eviction from the home where they have lived in so far. Therefore, multiculturalism ideology could become a solution to create harmonious society with fairness and equality without regard to any socio-cultural background.

Abstract

Conflict is a persistent social phenomenon in human life, often triggered by social change, differences in authority, interests, and culture. As a nation with high ethnic diversity, Indonesia is particularly vulnerable to ethnic conflict. This article aims to explore the genealogy of ethnic conflicts and propose alternative resolutions through a case study of the conflict between the Dayak and Madurese ethnic groups in West Kalimantan. The research employs documentation methods and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) to gather data from relevant institutions, researchers, intellectuals, and conflict survivors. The findings reveal that conflicts are often sparked by personal incidents, yet their escalation is influenced by social, cultural, economic, and political factors. The limited role of the government in addressing these conflicts is identified as one of the main barriers to resolution. This article recommends multiculturalism-based resolution approaches and cross-cultural dialogue as efforts to build harmonious relationships between ethnic groups.

Abstract

Tulisan ini membahas evolusi profil agama di Australia yang terutama dipengaruhi oleh sejarah migrasi. Sebagian besar kelompok agama non-Aborigin hadir di Australia melalui migrasi, baik melalui orang yang bermigrasi maupun melalui sistem kepercayaan yang disebarkan oleh guru, publikasi, atau misionaris. Beragam bentuk agama seperti Kristen, Islam, Buddha, dan Hindu ada di Australia karena umat dari tradisi ini bermigrasi dan mendirikan organisasi keagamaan. Beberapa kelompok agama, seperti Salvation Army, Zen Buddhism, Mormon, dan Pentakosta, menemukan pengikut melalui konversi di Australia. Seiring dengan migrasi, keragaman agama di Australia telah meningkat, terutama setelah kebijakan White Australia mulai ditinggalkan. Kebijakan ini sebelumnya mempertahankan dominasi agama Kristen. Namun, sejak tahun 1947, imigrasi dari berbagai belahan dunia membawa pengaruh besar pada keragaman agama di Australia. Kini, Australia menjadi negara dengan pluralitas agama yang meliputi berbagai tradisi agama, baik Kristen maupun non-Kristen. Selain itu, pluralitas juga muncul dalam kelompok Kristen itu sendiri, mencerminkan kedatangan beragam cara beragama dari luar negeri. Pergeseran ini terlihat dalam perubahan arsitektur kota, dengan berdirinya masjid, kuil Buddha, dan tempat ibadah Hindu, serta transformasi gereja tradisional menjadi tempat ibadah bagi kelompok agama lain.

Abstract

Al-Zamakhsari’s description of the Qur’anic exegesis is not only revealing the meaning contained in Al-Qur’an, but also, he disclosed the secrets of the i’jaz of al-Qur’an. The method used by al-Zamakhsari in explaining this by practicing theories given by the earlier ulemas which condensed in the method of nazm. With nazm, word, meaning and axioms of the grammatical rules orderly organized which then manifest themselves in ultimate non-imitative beauty of eloquence, highest composition, perfect style and depth of meanings.

Abstract

The diverse cultural, ethnic, and religious social reality of the Australian population, as a consequence of the open immigration policy in the 1960s, has prompted the Australian government to engage in social and political engineering by adopting multiculturalism as a state ideology. This policy aims to mitigate conflicting values and norms among the white population on one side and immigrants on the other. Australia seems to have successfully managed various conflicts, indicated by the low potential for political, ethnic, and religious violence, including terrorism, compared to other countries, especially its neighbors. The implications of multiculturalism are also evident in the development of the Australian Muslim community, as well as other ethnic and religious communities, which have preserved their cultural heritage and continue to thrive today, albeit still suspected of having potential conflicts.

Abstract

This research aims to trace the ideas of iconoclasm that have grown within the Islamic tradition. It is motivated by the relationship between religion and icons, which has sparked considerable debate. On one hand, there are some religions that consider icons a legitimate element in their religious tradition, a practice known as iconodulism. On the other hand, there are religions that take the opposite stance, rejecting, prohibiting, or even condemning the use or production of icons within their religious tradition, a practice known as iconoclasm. In the context of Islam, some argue that iconoclastic movements are often directed at specific groups as a purification effort. However, upon closer examination, many dominant traditions within Islam have elements of iconoclasm: Allah is symbolized through the concept of Asma` al-Husna or depicted through calligraphic art; the visualization of Prophet Muhammad has been a controversial subject, leading to an evolution that is symbolized through light or calligraphy. There is also a stigma attached to painting and sculpture in this context. Why does Islamic tradition prefer symbols over icons?.
