Abstract

This paper will discuss online media sites implementing religious moderation campaigns in Indonesia. The case study in this paper is the online media Harakatuna.com. The research method is qualitative, collecting data through virtual ethnography or online observations of the Harakatuna.com media page and Harakatuna Media's Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook social media accounts. This research found that it is not appropriate if the religious moderation campaign has only been carried out through conventional methods such as seminars, recitations, and workshops. Therefore, Harakatuna.com is present as a campaign agent for religious moderation by taking a role in social media. Consequently, Harakatuna.com carries out counter-narrative radicalism by introducing peaceful religious moderation in Indonesia with digital methods such as webinars, scientific publications, and opinion writing. Furthermore, Harakatuna.com also carries out a counter-ideological role against the Khilafahism ideology that Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) echoes. Harakatuna.com carries out the counter-ideology through the Pancasila ideology campaign as the foundation of the nation and state by the values of religious teachings, including Islam. The roles carried out by Harakatuna.com are the actualization of the concept of a Cyber Islamic Environment, a new virtual world environment that can be used for the benefit of Muslims, one of which is the delivery of messages of religious moderation.

Dakwah tidak hanya dilakukan melalui lisan dan tatap muka di tempat-tempat ibadah saja akan tetapi sekarang dengan semakin majunya teknologi maka dakwah dapat dilakukan melalui sosial media seperti Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Radio, Televisi, Youtube dan media sosial lainnya. Dengan begitu, kemajuan perkembangan teknologi yang tersedia harus dimanfaatkan sebaik mungkin dengan berbagai macam tujuan tanpa terlepas dalam hal agama. Maka diperlukan informasi yang lengkap mengenai penggunaan media terhadap para pemuka agama supaya penyebaran berbagai agama dapat maksimal dan diterima baik oleh para jamaahnya.
