This article tries to see the contestation and affirmation of female ulama (muslim scholars) in contemporary Indonesia.The common patriarchal system in Indonesia has made the role of female clergy not so visible which is very different from the role of ulama which is generally attributed to men.With a gender perspective, this paper tries to see the affirmation process of femaleulama in Indonesia conducted by muslim women organizations and NGOs in the discourse on the roles of men and women.Among interesting discourse was raised by the Indonesian Women Ulema Congress (KUPI) conducted in April 2017 in Cirebon, West Java. Women activists and ulema discussed strategic issues on Islamic studies, women movement, economic empowerment and national politics of how women have to get more access and to take a stronger leadership role in national and regional level.

Southeast Asia captivates Al Qaeda (Saudi Arabia/Middle East) to enter this region because Osama Bin Laden knows that Southeast Asia is the second priority of the US in fighting international terrorism. Southeast Asia is also referred to as "home" for terrorist groups or movements such as Jemaah Islamiah (JI), Abu Sayyaf and the Mujahideen Malaysia Group (KKM)) which were allegedly involved in the WTC case. Regardless of whether or not the involvement of "radical Islamic" groups was involved with ‘’the September 11(9/11)’’ case, which clearly has changed US relations with Southeast Asian countries. Meanwhile, the Islamic political movement, especially the political violence groups have increased and flourished in Indonesia since President Soeharto fell in 1998. Since the mid-1990s, a number of terrorist attacks have been planned in the Southeast Asia region, including attacks on church leaders (Pope), President Bill Clinton, and commercial aircraft. But these plans are not always successful, and all of the above factors, combined with the arrest of several people from the Al-Qaeda network operating in Southeast Asia, are seen as a strong enough driving factor to carry out the terrorism attacks in this region. Al Qaeda succeeded in building networks, supporters and cells through regional extremist movements affiliated with it. According to Asean intelligent report, they received financial and weapons amounted to US$ hundred thousands from Al Qaeda on a scale that worried many people.

Democracy, Corruption and the Politics of Spirits in Contemporary Indonesia (London and New York: Routledge, 2014) Nils Bubandt, the author of Democracy, Corruption and the Politics of Spirits in Contemporary Indonesia, discusses three important topics in this book: democracy, corruption, and the politics of spirits in contemporary Indonesian society. In exploring these three things, Bubandt discusses through the lenses of five objects: kyai, bloggers, politicians, sultans, and prophets. Bubandt also discusses the charm of democracy, the paradox of Indonesian democracy, the ‘ghosts’ of politics in democracy such as corruption, elitism, nepotism, and patrimonialism (the ‘meeting’ between the modern political system and traditional political culture rooted in past kingdoms), and secularism. Bubandt's discussion of these interesting themes is framed within the framework of a study of the world of politics and the world of jin/unseen worlds or ‘other realms’.

This article aims to explore the involvement of the Al-Qaeda network in Southeast Asia at the beginning of the 21st century. As an international terrorist organization with sufficient financial and human resources, Al-Qaeda's arrival in Southeast Asia came as a major shock to the local communities affected by it—an injustice caused by the capitalist regimes in the region. The methods used in writing this article are case studies and historical analysis. This article will provide specific examples of Al-Qaeda involvement in several countries in Southeast Asia, such as the case in Poso, Indonesia, where Al-Qaeda members Omar Bandon and Jusuf Galan from Spain provided military training and funding to militant Islamic groups in Malaysia. This article will also discuss Al-Qaeda's involvement in the Philippines, where they formed cells and networks with the Abu Sayyaf and other extreme Islamic groups. The results of this research show that the entry of the Al-Qaeda network in this area has caused terrorism problems and resulted in quite large losses in the form of property and lives. It is hoped that this article will provide new insights and policy recommendations to strengthen counterterrorism efforts in the future.

Even though science is considered neutral, the struggle to Islamize science continues to be carried out by Muslim intellectuals. Al Attas is one of the critical intellectuals in this field whose influence has significantly impacted a group of Indonesian Muslim scholars within the INSISTS community. One of the INSISTS figures concerned about the Islamization of knowledge is Hamid Fahmy Zarkasyi. This study attempts to discuss why and how this Islamization was carried out by Indonesian intellectual Muslim. This study uses ethnographic methods in the INSISTS community with literature studies. This research shows that the involvement of Muslim intellectuals in islamization is related to the intention of da’wah, the implementation of the Islamic Worldview, and is made possible by the socio-cultural situation of a democratic Indonesia. The strategy of Islamization of knowledge is carried out by focusing on young intellectual regeneration, writing, and the presence of charisma that supports this vision. Theoretically, this study strengthens Sherry Ortner’s opinion that agency is formed by three components of intention and socio-cultural construction and adds a charisma component as the fourth component that includes agency.

This article explains an anthropologist’s reflection on religious moderation implemented in Indonesia to create a moderate society. This article aims to explain an anthropologist’s reflection on the Islamic moderation program in Indonesia which is indirectly included in the religious moderation of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Republic of Indonesia. Practically, this reflection is useful to see how the Islamic moderation program is viewed from anthropological perspective. This article was using observations, participant observation and literature review. The author has been involved in various research programs in order to strengthening Islamic moderation in Indonesia. This article concludes that Islamic moderation in Indonesia is a necessity amidst the dynamics of global society. Practical strengthening of moderation is part of love for the Indonesian nation. However, this program will not run optimally unless it is through sustainable collaboration between the government, religious leaders, community leaders, youth and families.

This paper discusses the formation process of the Indonesian Muslim intellectual community, INSISTS (Institute for the Study of Islamic Thought and Civilizations). The emergence of INSISTS cannot be separated from the broader socio-political and intellectual context in post-Reformation Indonesia, a period marked by the opening of democratic space, the rise of various Islamic movements, and intense debates over the direction of Islamic thought. The 9/11 tragedy and its global repercussions further intensified concerns about the future of Islam, as liberal narratives—promoted domestically by the Liberal Islamic Network (Jaringan Islam Liberal, JIL), gained prominence in Indonesia’s public sphere. Against this backdrop, INSISTS was formed as a response to liberal thinking, seeking to offer an alternative intellectual framework rooted in Islamic tradition. Unlike previous studies on INSISTS that focused primarily on Islamic thought, this study examines INSISTS through the lens of anthropological studies of friendship in the making of Muslim intellectual communities. It highlights that the formation of the INSISTS community is inseparable from the common interests of its actors, particularly the struggle for the Islamization of science. This struggle is carried out by INSISTS actors through continuous intellectual and social activities that reinforce solidarity, networks of friendship, and a shared vision of resisting liberal Islamic influences.

This study critically examines Juliana Cassaniti's ethnographic work on Buddhist and Christian communities in Northern Thailand to explore agency cross-culturally. The research objective is to analyze how divergent religious ontologies shape contrasting understandings of human action and challenge universalist models of agency rooted in Western categories. Methodologically, the study employs comparative ethnographic analysis, drawing on Cassaniti's fieldwork alongside theoretical contributions from Archer, Sewell, Ahearn, and Ortner. Results reveal significant contrasts: Christians conceptualize agency as relational and mediated through belief in a divine Other, while Buddhists ground agency in the natural self, governed by karma and personal practice. These findings demonstrate that religious ontologies constitute rather than merely mediate action. The analysis challenges existing frameworks by showing how local epistemologies fundamentally shape agency. The paper raises questions about internal diversity within these traditions and calls for further comparative approaches integrating non-Western frameworks into theoretical discourse. Ultimately, this study contributes to the anthropology of religion by demonstrating the cosmological foundations of human action and enriches understandings of agency as culturally and ontologically situated.
