Abstract

South Korea is promoted as a Muslim-friendly tourist destination, with an increasing Muslim population, as well as government initiatives in providing facilities that support Muslim needs, but discrimination against the Muslim community still occurs in the country. This research will discuss the phenomenon of Islamophobia in South Korea using the concept of Islamophobia from The Runnymede Trust which identifies four main indicators of Islamophobic practices: discrimination, exclusion, violence, and prejudice. The research method used is a qualitative research method by collecting online documents including journals, websites, social media and films relevant to this research and analyzing them with a content analysis approach to find forms of Islamophobia in South Korea. The research shows that the Muslim community experiences difficulties in accessing employment, public services, and faces negative stereotypes reinforced by the media. Cases of hate speech, refusal to build mosques, and barriers to worship reflect the deep-rooted Islamophobia in South Korean society. This research provides insight into the contradiction between the government's campaign and the social reality faced by the Muslim community in South Korea, and analyzes the factors that influence Islamophobic sentiments.

One of the problems faced by the Muslim community in America today is Islamophobia such as bad narratives, discrimination, and violence against Muslims and their property. This study will examine the role of the Muslim community in America in dealing with the phenomenon of Islamophobia by explaining its strategy through the concept of Non-Governmental Organizations. The data used in this study is literature collected online from websites of Islamic groups in the United States. The results of this study showed that Islamic groups have taken many ways to deal with Islamophobia in this country, namely through political and legal advocacy, media relations, education, and campaigns to garner support and introduce Islam in American society.

Abstract

This study explores Drew Binsky's journey in the Muslim world and how it has the potential to influence global perceptions of Islam positively. Drew Binsky is a renowned travel vlogger who has explored various countries, delving into their cultures, traditions, and daily lives. Drew Binsky has engaged with Muslim communities in different countries throughout his journeys, sharing these experiences through vlogs and social media platforms. Despite being Jewish and born in the United States, his perception of Islam and Muslims has transformed after visiting and interacting with Muslim communities. Uploaded and shared on social media platforms, particularly YouTube, these experiences contribute to offering an alternative perspective on Islam to the global audience, challenging long-standing misconceptions perpetuated by mainstream global media, scholars, and Islamophobic politicians. The study employed the People-to-People Diplomacy approach to discuss Binsky's efforts through the videos uploaded on his YouTube channel. Research findings indicate that despite being an American Jew, Binsky holds a positive view of Islam and has shared his perspective through videos watched by millions, appreciated not only by Muslim viewers but also by non-Muslim audiences.

Abstract

Israel's aggression against Palestinians, which culminated in Israel's military aggression in Gaza in 2023-2024, has provoked a broad response from the international community, including the emergence of various global solidarity movements such as the BDS movement Indonesia . This study aims to explain the efforts of the Indonesian BDS Movement in conducting non-violent advocacy to respond to the aggression through peaceful protest strategies and boycott campaigns against entities affiliated with Israel. This study uses Jørgen Johansen's theory of non-violence, which divides peaceful action into four main categories: nonviolent protest, non-cooperation, nonviolent intervention, and civil disobedience. This research argues that the strategy of the Indonesian BDS Movement reflects two main forms, namely peaceful protest and refusal to cooperate with those who support Israeli colonialism. The results show that BDS movement Indonesia consistently carries out advocacy through peaceful demonstrations, digital campaigns, online petitions, and collaborations with humanitarian organizations. These findings confirm that the non-violent approach used is effective in strengthening public solidarity, building social awareness of humanitarian issues in Gaza, and demonstrating the role of Indonesian civil society in fighting for justice and human rights for the Palestinian people.
