Abstract

Digital Islamic apologetics has become a new phenomenon in the relationship between religion and socio-cultural development. Digital space, especially YouTube, has become not only an arena for the dissemination of religious teachings, but also a platform for the formation of new religious authorities that influence solidarity and polarization in society. This study uses qualitative methods to analyze the structure of religious messages presented in two Bang Zuma videos uploaded on YouTube based on Robert Entman's (1993) framing analysis. Insights from Craig's (2008) apologetic epistemology consisting of five models: classical, evidential, Reformed epistemology, Presuppositional and Cumulative Case, as well as Berger & Luckmann's social constructionism model will be used to understand the emergence and development of digital faith reality. The findings show that Bang Zuma's apologetics integrates Craig's four main models: evidential (analysis of biblical texts and history), presuppositional (the Qur'an as the standard of absolute truth), classical (philosophical arguments against the Trinity), and reformed epistemology (tawhid as human nature), which emphasizes the rational and moral defense of Islam. This message study affirms Islam as a rational and ethical religion, but also fosters an oppositional logic of "us versus them," reinforcing exclusive identities. Digital Islamic apologetics has a dual function: strengthening spiritual literacy and community solidarity (bonding social capital), but also potentially causing sociocultural polarization and narrowing the space for interfaith dialogue (bridging social capital). This research emphasizes the importance of a cumulative and moderate approach that integrates rationality, morality, and social empathy to make digital Islamic apologetics a moral and intellectual force in the development of an inclusive society.

Abstract

This study analyzes how local online media framed religious narratives in the coastal social movement that rejected the construction of a sea fence on the north coast of Banten in mid-January 2025. Using a qualitative approach and Robert Entman's framing analysis method, this study examines the news coverage of two local online media, Kabar Banten online and Radar Banten online. The results of the analysis show differences in framing emphasis between the two. Kabar Banten tends to highlight the ecological dimension and legal violations of the installation of the sea fence by unknown actors, while Radar Banten emphasizes more on the aspects of social injustice and community and student solidarity as a form of resistance to the state and corporations. Both recommended the removal of the sea fence, but with different moral and political justifications. The findings show that media framing not only reflects social reality, but also produces meanings that influence public opinion and legitimize collective action. This research emphasizes public participation in marine space policy, media literacy, and the role of local media in policy conflicts, and opens up further studies on media and conflict in coastal Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Digital activism has increasingly shaped environmental justice movements, particularly in Global South contexts where local communities face environmental risks from large scale waste management projects. Social media platforms provide new spaces for grassroots mobilization, enabling citizens to circulate information, construct collective narratives, and attract broader public attention. However, empirical evidence on how digital activism amplifies environmental justice claims in localized environmental conflicts remains limited. Purpose: This study examines how social media activism mobilizes public engagement and strengthens environmental justice narratives in community resistance to waste management infrastructure. Methods: This research employs a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative content analysis and qualitative inquiry. The dataset consists of 61 Instagram posts and 175 TikTok videos related to the environmental conflict. Engagement rates (ER) were calculated to measure audience interaction, while digital observation and in-depth interviews with three key informants provided contextual insights. The analysis is informed by Schlosberg’s environmental justice framework and mediatization theory. Results: The findings indicate that visual protest narratives significantly increase engagement and narrative diffusion. A viral TikTok video depicting residents’ protests generated the highest engagement rate of 67%, significantly boosting the visibility of the campaign hashtag. Posts using symbolic protest narratives produced up to 1.8 times more social sharing compared to purely informational posts, demonstrating the importance of visual storytelling in amplifying grassroots environmental claims. Conclusion: Social media platforms function not only as communication channels but also as strategic arenas for environmental advocacy and mobilization. Implications: Digital activism can strengthen environmental justice movements by expanding citizen participation, increasing visibility of local environmental conflicts, and generating broader public pressure for more equitable environmental governance.
