Abstract

This article aims to discover the translation of the word auliyâ’ in QS. Al-Mâ’idah Verse 51 on a conservative Islamic website in Indonesia. In addition, to find out the power and discursive practice of the verse and uncover ideology in social practice. The study was qualitative research that used the text published on Portal-islam.id and Voa-islam.com as the primary source. In data analysis, the study applied Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis. The study showed that Portal-islam.id and Voa-islam.com translated the word auliyâ’ as leaders. That is motivated by Hamka’s interpretation which prioritizes meaning compared to the reason for the revelation of the verse. For this understanding, conservative Islamic websites produce articles that support the prohibition of non-Muslims from becoming leaders.

Abstract

This study delves into examining manipulative strategies within the framework of COVID-19 discourse in Indonesia. The research systematically analyzes data from various social media platforms using a descriptive qualitative methodology. The analytical framework draws from speech act theory, argumentative discourse approaches, and manipulation strategy theory. The study’s findings uncover various manipulative tactics that influential figures in Indonesia deploy. These tactics encompass denial, rationalization, diversion, lying, guilt-tripping, and shaming. Notably, the research offers tangible instances of manipulation within the COVID-19 discourse, such as claims suggesting that the virus represents a divine army or that Chinese individuals frequent mosques to learn ablution (wudu). This study is valuable to the expanding literature on COVID-19 discourse and manipulation. It offers nuanced insights into the strategies harnessed to sway public opinion amid a global pandemic. The discerned findings from this study hold significant potential, as they can inform the development of public awareness campaigns and strategies designed to counter the spread of misinformation and disinformation, a critical endeavour in today’s information-rich landscape.

Abstract

This study investigates the active participation of European women, particularly British citizens, in ISIS's operations and propaganda, which challenges traditional gender norms and perceptions of Muslim women in Western societies. The research used postmodern feminist theory to delve into the multifaceted motivations driving these women—from feelings of alienation and promises of empowerment to ideological aspirations—and examines their roles as recruiters, propagandists, and enforcers within the al-Khansaa Brigade. Specific cases, such as Aqsa Mahmood, illustrate the strategic use of social media to romanticize life in the caliphate while simultaneously exploiting women through constructs like "sexual jihad." The phenomenon reflects a paradox where agency is wielded within deeply patriarchal structures, perpetuating both empowerment and subjugation. Additionally, the paper explores the societal factors fueling radicalization, including Islamophobia and systemic discrimination, and highlights the challenges of reintegration for women returning to their home countries. By addressing the gendered dynamics of terrorism, this study underscores the importance of inclusive counterterrorism strategies that dismantle extremist narratives and foster integration.
