Abstract

Papua faces complex socio-religious dynamics with the potential for conflict among religious communities. This article explores the strategic role of Muslims in building social harmony. The data used as the basis for analyzing this article was obtained through observation, interviews, and literature studies. The results show that the Muslim community plays an active role as a “creative minority” by integrating moderate Islamic values and the socio-cultural context in Papua. Involvement in the Forum Kerukunan Umat Beragama (FKUB), social programs, and collaboration with religious leaders, local communities, and the government are key in strengthening tolerance and openness. This study contributes to the integration of the concepts of social capital and Islamic moderation in social-religious studies that emphasize the importance of the involvement of religious communities in realizing harmonious social life in a multicultural society. From this it can be seen that to realize and maintain harmony in Papua requires a multidimensional approach involving continuous dialogue, policy support, and the use of local wisdom. Therefore, further research is recommended to explore the perspectives of other religious communities in presenting inclusive dialogue to realize and maintain a harmonious social life among religious communities.

Abstract

The implementation of special autonomy in Papua Province has raised critical challenges, particularly the marginalization of certain groups based on ethnicity and religion. This study examines the dynamic role of Muslim groups in Papua post-special autonomy implementation, addressing gaps in previous research. Using a qualitative descriptive case study approach, the findings reveal three key points. First, the political engagement of Muslim groups has become more dynamic but remains limited compared to Indigenous Papuans (OAP). Second, special autonomy policies, while intended to empower OAPs, have narrowed the participation space for non-OAP groups, including Muslims. Third, the policies restrict opportunities for Muslim Papuans to hold strategic government positions, as recruitment prioritizes OAP representation. These findings highlight the multidimensional challenges of special autonomy, including social, political, and economic inequalities. The study concludes that, while special autonomy policies offer opportunities for regional development, they also foster tensions and marginalization. To address these issues, it recommends adopting more inclusive governance and balanced policies that accommodate both OAP and non-OAP groups. By doing so, Papua’s development can be more equitable and sustainable, fostering harmony among its diverse communities.
