Abstract

Conflict narratives that develop in post-conflict societies are always considered dangerous as conflict triggers that lead to new conflicts. In communities where oral tradition is the primary source of knowledge, storytelling about past contests becomes a central means of transmitting both violent and peaceful cultures. Post-conflict society cannot be separated from the role of war stories in forming individuals and constructing dynamics of communal relations. This study aims to observe and analyze the extent of the role and influence of conflict-telling in post-conflict societies, particularly in conflict-vulnerable communities that were victims of the 1999 conflict in Maluku. This qualitative research was conducted in 2023. The data was collected through in-depth interviews with 15 Kayeli Refugee respondents, who were selected as a sample of vulnerable people based on objective scientific considerations. The results of this study indicate that conflict-vulnerable communities still maintain war stories up to 20 years after the conflict, both with nuances of violence and peace in the limited public and domestic space of religious segregation that is not reached by peacebuilders in efforts to peacebuilding in Ambon. Interestingly, conflict experiences, especially violent stories, become a tool to maintain segregation and present the continuation of structural and cultural violence. On the other hand, there are stories of peace and reflection on the conflict that can be used as a new way to support simple peacebuilding in Ambon as the Multicultural Capital of Maluku.

Abstract

This paper is an excerpt of a full-blown study that the author did on the role of religion in the peace process in Mindanao of Southern Philippines. It attempts to understand and analyze Islamic concepts of Jihad, Iman and Islam and their significance to the problem of armed conflict in Mindanao. Analyses of these concepts is based mainly from the perspective of Islamic liberation theology specifically on the works of Farid Esack, Asghar Ali Engineer, and Fazlur Rahman, whose thoughts on the subject are seen to have more relevance towards development of a contextual Islamic theology of peace and liberation that is reflective of the historical, socio-political, cultural, and economic conditions in Mindanao of Southern Philippines. The study attempts to understand the meanings of Jihad, Iman and Islam and draw out essential and significant theological, ethical, and political principles and values which are relevant to the issues of conflict in Mindanao of Southern Philippines, and the role of religion in the peace process. Based on the principles and values derived from the study of the said Islamic concepts, the study attempts to construct a theological and political agenda that is informed by the historical, social, and political context in Mindanao of Southern Philippines.

Abstract

The author discusses three directions in which Christianity can be rethought: exclusivist, inclusivist and pluralist. While the inclusivist view is better than the exclusivist view, both views do not rethink Christianity in a way that it becomes suitable for a new age, i.e. globalization, in which we all have to deal with people from different faiths. Christianity is seen as superior in both the exclusivist and the inclusivist view. Whereas in the pluralist view Christianity is seen as one among many religions, which make a genuine dialogue possible.

Abstract

The author offers a discourse analysis of inter-religious relationsduring the New Order (1965-1998) in Indonesia. The relationsbetween the Muslim majority and Christian minority were tense inthis period. Muslims and Christian disagreed on how to interpretthe law concerning freedom of religion and tolerance. Muslimsclaimed that Christians used foreign aid for 'Christianization' and'Westernization. Christians, on the other hand, claimed thatMuslims curtailed the freedom of religion of Christians by acts ofintolerance and violence. Meanwhile, then president Suharto triedto be seen as impartial, for he considered economic prosperitymore important than religion.
