The 2007 visit was themed "Development Harmonized with Traditional Culture". As well as visiting a number of education institutions, which was the focus of the trip, the group also took a look at various types of Japanese industry, including the automotive industry that has become the icon of modern Japan. On the final day of the visit, the participants were asked to write about their impressions of Japan, with emphasis on the aspect of the tour which they found to be most interesting. This article, which is based on feedback from the participants, has not been written only in order to describe the perceptions of the participants towards places visited throughout the tour, but to further discuss how the participants gave meaning to what they experienced throughout the trip.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v15i1.541

Sufism was the first form of Islam to be brought to Kalimantan, as was the case throughout most of Southeast Asia. Increasing numbers of Muslim traders and itinerant Sufi preachers came to the Indies from the 13th century onwards, and by the 16th century Islam had become a significant presence throughout the archipelago, especially in port cities and elsewhere on the coast. The popularity of Sufism grew rapidly in the 18th and 19th centuries as increasing numbers of the faithful returned from the pilgrimage (haj) to Medina and Mecca, bringing the faith back with them to various communities scattered throughout the islands' This growth in the numbers of pilgrims (haji) had direct political significance, for they had inevitably come into contact with new religio-political ideas while in the Holy Land.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v14i3.542

This study wants to look at Indonesian Muslim thought in relation to the interpretation of the Qur'ary especially its methodological issues. This topic is well-worth exploring also because it has been an increasingly prominent theme in contemporary debates on Islamic reform. It is in attempts to define the purpose and methods of Islamic reform and its legitimate boundaries that the debate concerning the Qur'an (primarily its interpretive approaches) between many contemporary Muslim thinkers comes into plays This study might be regarded as an effort to show how Indonesian Muslims have sought to participate in the debate, or to be more precise to incorporate some Indonesian Muslims' views into that debate. In doing so, this study limits its scope to the discussions in the Indonesian context during the past 20 years. It is within this period that lively discussions on interpretive approaches to the Qur'an have taken place in Indonesia.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v14i2.544

Keeping in mind the Indonesian Government's policy regarding legal pluralism, this article will take a closer look at how the Government deals with the existence of both Islamic law and customary law (adat). The adoption of "state law pluralism", especially by the New Order regime since 1970s, has had an evident impact on the way the state handles the institution of adat and Islamic law (shari'ah). The question is what is the motive behind employing this strategy? This is a question that necessitates more a socio-political approach in the study of comparative law, drawing on a number of regulations and acts related to adat and Islamic law as the primary sources.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v14i2.545

This article proposed the term moderate fundamentalism, as a tool in understanding the defining characteristic of the PKS. In short, the term refers to fundamentalism in a moderate perspective, enabling moderate fundamentalists to be involved in political activities adaptively and without resorting to the use of radical means. Using this term, I argue that the PKS is a part of the fundamentalist faction, differentiating it in principle from other modernist groups or parties in Indonesia. Its moderate nature, however, also differentiates it from the radical camps within the fundamentalist faction. The use of the term moderate fundamentalism allows for the observation of diversity within the fundamentalist faction and contributes to new insights into present-day Indonesian Islamic political parties.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v14i3.546

The sudden reappearance of Marxist-Communist literature following the downfall of Soeharto's New Order regime was a concerning development for many Muslim groups in Indonesian, especially those in the so-called Aliansi Anti-Komunis (the Anti-communist Alliance, or AAK). Members of the Alliance reacted by burning Leftist books on April 19, 2001 and demanded that all Marxist-Communist literature found in book shops throughout the country be removed over the following days. Some social groups within Indonesia reacted positively to the book burning arguing that it was in accordance with the constitution, while opponents viewed it as anarchic and extreme. This article discusses the AAK's reaction to the purported Communist threat with particular reference to the burning of the leftist literature.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v14i2.547

Following the demise of the New order Regime in 1998, a period to become known as reformasi (reformation), the demand for the implementation of Islamic shari'ah became louder. Helped by the Regional Autonomy Laws of 1999, a number of regions in Indonesia demanded Islamic law to be implemented. Aceh was most adamant in its demand. At present, the implementation of Islamic shari'ah in Aceh has been provided with a legal basis by Law No. 44, 1999 and Law 18, 2001 on special Autonomy and the implementation of lslamic shari'ah in Aceh. The Regional Government of Nangroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD) has also issued a number of practical Regional Bylaras (Qanun) including the prohibition on drinking alcoholic beverages (khamar), regulated in Qanun No. 12/2003, the prohibition on gambling (maisir) in Qanun No. 13/2003, and the disallowance of illicit sex (khalwat) in Qanun No. 14/2003.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v14i3.548

In 1998 Indonesia entered what has become known as the Reformation era, a period defined by the relative dominance of democratic ideas and practices, both in the socio-political sense and the religious sense. This piece of writing retraces the ideological struggle of prominent Indonesian Muslim figures to bring democracy to lndonesia, a struggle which began in the 1980s. In this way, this article endeavors to respond to the critics and doubters - like Larry Diamond and Juan Linz - who believe that the ideals of democracy conflict with those of Islam and thus argue that the two cannot co-existDOI: 10.15408/sdi.v14i3.549
