Abstract

This article discusses Robert W. Hefner’s Islam and Citizenship in Indonesia: Democracy and the Quest for an Inclusive Public Ethics (2024), that characterizes the interplay between religious culture and politics in Indonesia not as a single trend, but as a contentious project of nation-making and citizen belonging. The book seeks to address broad questions concerning the role and influence of Indonesian Muslim culture and its social movements, the messages conveyed through Islamic higher education, the social roles of Muslim women, and the impact of electoral democracy on the contested interpretations of Islam in the Indonesian public sphere. The book argues that the relationship between religion and state, and other forms of authority in Indonesia as a process of religionization, which distinguished from Islamization, while also emphasizing Indonesia as a site of agonistic plurality. By dispersive and multi-sectoral approach, the book offers a compelling framework for understanding the complex entanglements between religion, state, and society in shaping Indonesian public ethics.

Abstract

Abstract. The phenomenon of violence in democratic countries such as Indonesia introduced a new angle in contextualizing modern Islamic political thought. The argument of mainstreaming fasad (violence or conflict) and islah (reconciliation) embedded in Islamic political thought preached by Azyumardi Azra as a part of the moderate Islam project (Islam wasathiyah) is considered a democratization process. This article seeks to examine Azyumardi Azra's thoughts in interpreting the concept of moderate Islam in the context of Indonesia's democratization, particularly regarding non-violence and social harmony. This article uses an interdisciplinary approach combining the interpretation of Islamic political thought, Middle-path political theory, and democratization analysis. It examines the Islamic revitalization formulating an anti-violence stance mainstreamed by Azyumardi that mediates the absolutist dogmatic beliefs and extremist political streams inciting violence. Finally, this article demonstrates how political thought embedded in Islam mainstreamed by Azyumardi benefits to strengthening democratization in Indonesia, moving away from violence.Keywords: Democratization, Middle-path Politics, Anti-violence, Revitalization of Islam, Wasatiyyah Islam.Abstrak.
