Abstract

This article investigates the dynamics of religious identity politics in Indonesia’s 2024 presidential election, with a particular focus on the political communication strategy of Anies Rasyid Baswedan. The study aims to explore how religious narratives and symbols are constructed within Anies’s campaign discourse and to examine the broader socio-political implications of such identity-based appeals in a pluralistic democracy. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research analyzes a range of data, including media coverage, campaign speeches, symbolic visual elements, and relevant literature. The findings reveal that religious identity politics has not vanished from Indonesia’s electoral landscape but has undergone a strategic transformation. Rather than employing overt sectarian messaging, Anies leverages a symbolic, layered communication strategy that harmonizes his personal religious image with themes of national unity, moral leadership, and cultural pluralism. This enables him to appeal simultaneously to conservative Muslim constituencies and urban moderate voters. His approach reflects a shift from the confrontational identity politics of previous elections toward a more adaptive and communicative form of religious symbolism. In conclusion, this study shows that identity politics in contemporary Indonesian elections is increasingly mediated through symbolic discourse and nuanced messaging. The research contributes to a deeper theoretical understanding of the evolving role of religious identity in electoral democracies and offers practical insights into the ethical and strategic dimensions of political communication in a culturally diverse society.

Abstract

This article investigates the phenomenon of cults in West Java, a province with the highest number of cult cases in Indonesia. Based on data from the Indonesian Ulema Council of West Java, the province hosts 144 cults. This study focuses on seven regencies: Bandung Regency, West Bandung Regency, Garut Regency, Tasikmalaya Regency, Ciamis Regency, Cirebon Regency, and Cimahi City, examining the distinct socio-demographic characteristics of these regions regarding teachings, spreading patterns, and the vulnerabilities that lead individuals to join cults. The research explores the legal responses and human rights challenges in managing and mitigating the influence of these cults, particularly in rural, economically disadvantaged, and low-education areas. The article argues that cults often thrive in these communities due to the promise of peace and solutions to life's challenges, raising significant concerns regarding the protection of vulnerable populations and the enforcement of legal and human rights standards.

Abstract

This article departs from the author's interest in answering the question 'why most corruptors are Muslims?' Then, the author decides to make Islam, corruption and the political-bureaucratic structure in Indonesia as the theme of the discussion. There are two things that cause the emergence or the growth of corruption in Indonesia namely; first, the bureaucratic-political structure and the second: the understanding of the values of goodness (Islamic value). The political and bureaucratic structures have the most significant influence not only in Indonesia but also globally (Yaw M. Mensah: 2012). Beside, a lack of understanding about Islamic rules also causes why some Muslims like politicians, are trapped in corruption cases. Therefore, there are two solutions that can be put forward namely; firstly, the restoration of political structure and bureaucracy, and secondly, anticipate with the understanding of Islam wholly and integrity (kaffah)
