Abstract

There is a trend of increasing Islamism after the 1998 Reformation Era in Indonesia. The previous studies reveal that it is caused, among others, by the weakness of the state, the decline of the authority of moderate Islamic groups, and the use of social media as da’wahchannels by Islamist groups. This studi is qualitative-based research by employing descriptive method and social content analysis of social media. The data were collected through observations (field study) of the election process in the Solo area, from social media, and in-depth interviews with academicians of UIN Surakarta, the initiators, and participants of the LISaN program. This study revealed that the low quality of political education, manipulative information spread on social media, and lack of autonomous political participation by the Muslim millennials have also contributed to the rise of Islamism. Therefore, the Islamic literacy for courteous and tolerant behavior (Literasi Islam Santun dan toleran, LISaN) is necessary to counter the Islamist movement. The LISaN movement which take form a noisy tolerant majority can be a means of values reproduction and encourage individual participation in political and religious affairs, in a polite and tolerant manner.

Abstract

Despite the popular recognition of Indonesian Islam as being accommodative and moderate, there is a more conservative trend noticeable in the social and political sphere. Alerted by this recent development, the Ministry of Religious Affairs formulated the policy of religious moderation, which has drawn the attention of academicians. This research aims to gauge the level of religious moderation among lecturers of State Islamic Higher Education Institutions in Indonesia and its contributing factors. Specifically, this study attempts to examine whether variables of interreligious interaction, university policy, and socio-cultural context significantly influence the construction of religious moderation. It used a mixed method of quantitative and qualitative approaches with convergent parallel design. The quantitative approach applied a survey method using a questionnaire involving 272 lecturers at twelve institutions selected through multistage systematic sampling, while the qualitative approach used a focus group discussion technique to the management of the Religious Moderation House in 10 universities. The research revealed that the average level of religious moderation is moderate. The variables that significantly influenced religious moderation were university policies and sociocultural context, while the interreligious interaction variable had no significant effect. More complex variables need to be considered in future research.
