Abstract

This article attempts to scrutinize the phenomenon of theological contestation in Indonesia, as represented by the Sunnite and Shi’ite conflict in the region of Sampang, East Java. The conflict has occurred due to Muslims’ inability to withstand the differences among them, so that violence is considered a way of final settlement. In this paper, the author will try, therefore, to analyze theological problems between the Sunnite and the Shi’ite in the region. It has been widely known that the Sunnite and the Shi’ite came out of the basis of similar truth, and, in fact, they share the same spirit of glorifying Islam around the world. In this way, all Muslim communities in the world, including the Sunnite and the Shi’ite, should be able to put their theological differences as God’s graces and the blessing of life, not as the point of conflict and disharmony.

Abstract

This article describes the relation between institutional-affiliated Muslim intellectuals and the government in Indonesia during the period of 1990-2001. By analyzing the interview data and documentary studies, it tries to resketch the historical context of social and institutional relation of Muslim intellectuals. This article finds that pluralism is a notion which can be used to sociologically describe the diversity of Indonesian Muslim intellectuals, occasionally leading them, both with and without an institutional association, to different difficulties to unite each other. It maintains that the way Muslim Intellectuals appear to be close to, or distant from, the government depends heavily on who becomes the president or who is in the centre of power. They tend to be close to the government if the president comes out of their social affiliation. The opposite goes the other way around. The fact that unity and diversity exist in Indonesian Islamic organizations and institutions, it suggests, just follows the need and the demand of their members.

Abstract

This paper describes the plurality of Muslim responses to the modern conce­p­tion of human rights, drawing in particular on Muslim interpretations of key human rights issues in the dis­cour­se of human rights and Islam -women’s rights, reli­gious free­dom and minority rights, and corporal punishment- in Egypt and Indonesia. The case stu­dies of Egypt and Indonesia point to wide range of responses among Muslims to these issues, but also suggest that Islam is not incompatible with the modern conception of human rights. This paper argues that on the issues of human rights, Muslims do not share a single, monolithic stance. Instead, there is a variety of arguments based on various Islamic schools of thought and Islamic reli­gious groups. As a result, the issues of human rights and their implementation have elicited a wide range of responses among Muslims.

Abstract

The blasphemy case of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, known as Ahok, who is a Christian and was Jakarta’s non-Muslim governor, has sparked different reactions among Muslim groups in Indonesia. Reactions of Muslim groups of different persuasion in East Java will be highlighted in this article. Two theological constructions emerged out of this case, namely textual-normative and moderate-substantive construc­tions. This article aims to identify theological construction and social actions as normative propositions and actions of Muslim groups in East Java. To comprehend the concepts and responses through the article, several leaders of the Muslim roups such as FPI (Front Pembela Islam), HTI (Hizb al-Tahrir Indonesia), FUI (Forum Umat Islam), MMI (Majlis Mujahidin Indonesia), Al-Irsyad, FS-LDK (Forum Studi Lembaga Dakwah Kampus), NU (Nahdlatul Ulama) and Muhammadiyah were interviewed. The article finds that moderate and rational theological concept of blasphemy is coined by major Muslim groups especially NU and Muhammadiyah which prioritize greater national interest, whereas other Muslim roups, especially those with literal interpretation, promote political identity vis-à-vis other religious groups.
BETWEEN SOCIAL HUMANISM AND SOCIAL MOBILIZATION: The Dual Role of Madrasah in the Landscape of Indonesian Islamic Education

Abstract

This article analyzes the dual as well as overlapping role of madrasah in the history of Indonesian Islamic education. It argues that madrasah has long been playing the double roles at once; on the one hand it has served as the enlightening process of Indonesian Islam by giving a sense of moderation. It also has paved the way for the accommodation of non-religious subjects within its existing religious ones. In this sense, madrasah has played its social humanism. Madrasah, however, has been an effective means of power struggle as well as social mobilization among Muslims into the center of socio-political spheres. As Indonesian Muslims have long been marginalized by non-Islamic schooling system, madrasah has helped them struggle from their marginality through the emancipation and participation programs launched by madrasah. Muslims have been incessantly fought for their equality in terms of madrasah’s legal status and demanded more equal treatment from the state. In effect, the enactment of the Law No. 2/1989 marks a radical shift in the direction of Islamic education in Indonesia which is celebrated by the community of madrasah as a new era for their autonomy and equal status before the state.

Abstract

Contrary to what happened elsewhere in Indonesia, conversion of Chinese descents to Islam in Wattan Soppeng is considered peaceful and more numerous. While religious conversions sometimes followed by family disputes and often breakup, this article shows the gradual and peaceful conversion to Islam of the Chinese in Watan Soppeng. It also uncovers the origin of the Chinese conversion to Islam, the motives, and the relationship between Chinese Muslim converts and local indigenous people. This study applied three methods to obtain data and information, namely in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation studies. The data and information obtained were verified, classified, integrated, and described. The research results show that the conversion process began in the 1950s and has been lasting for approximately seventy years. This conversion was caused by some reasons, namely the interest in Islamic teachings, the motive of marriage, and the self-awareness to convert to Islam. So far, the native Chinese have maintained good relations with the local Bugis community. Those who embraced Islam enjoyed more intensive social interactions.
PROBLEMS OF PLURALISM IN MODERN INDONESIAN ISLAM

Abstract

Different from Western Europe, in which democracy and pluralism are achieved by eliminating the role of religion in politics and public sphere, religion in Indonesia plays a positive role. However, the main stumbling block of this positive role is the faulty assumptions and suspicions among Indonesian Muslims about the concept of “the other”, be it internally among Muslims or externally with the non-Muslims. Stereotypical terms such as “extreme Islam” (terrorist Islam) and “Christian-Catholic conspiracy” have resulted in disastrous consequences in society and do not at all support positive change towards democracy and pluralism. This article discusses how pluralism is, perceived, understood and practiced in Indonesia by Muslims. The author argues that it is the responsibility of Indonesian Muslim leaders to reexamine the religious system which in essence does not support the realization of a democratic and pluralistic modern society in order to comply with the standard of international law and human rights.
DISCOURSE, LAW, AND DIGITAL COMMUNICATION: Unraveling the Hate Speech in Basuki Tjahaja Purnama’s Case of Religious Blasphemy

Show Abstract | Download Original | Original Source | Check in Google Scholar | DOI: 10.15642/JIIS.2023.17.2.376-402

Abstract

The article examines hate speech, particularly religious insults, and its implications in the case of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama or Ahok, the former Governor of Jakarta. It underscores the complexity of regulating cyberspace expressions, especially on social media, and calls for clear legal regulations to prevent social conflict. It highlights the real-world impact of online hate speech and the role of linguistic analysis in addressing it. The analysis is in three stages. The first is a text and context analysis using the Discourse-Historical Approach (DHA), examining Ahok's speech within historical and discursive contexts. The second focuses on Indonesia's legal frameworks governing hate speech. The third analyzes the court proceedings in Ahok's hate speech case, using both micro and macro linguistic approaches. The article concludes with two main points; the need to analyze the intent behind hate speech and recommends a dual-dimension linguistic analysis model in judicial processes related to hate speech cases, including religious insults. By embedding this component within the legal criteria, it becomes possible to achieve a more holistic and equitable assessment of hate speech cases. Overall, the article provides a nuanced analysis of hate speech, its real-life implications in Ahok's case, and the need for refined legal and judicial approaches to address hate speech.

Abstract

This study aims at identifying the material scope of religious preaching and sermon; and describing the multicultural aspects conveyed in the religious preaching and sermon. As the subject of analysis, it focuses on religious sermons delivered by preachers in Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia. Using content and discourse analysis, this study finds that: the diversity of the society gains little attention by different religious preachers; instead of multicultural values, the religious preaches and sermons contain some anti-multicultural values, such as self-righteousness, prejudices and stereotypes of other groups; the subject of religious preaches and sermons implied the intensity of the purification movement; and the development of Islam implies the tendency of religious radicalism as reflected in the hostility towards the local culture, foreign people, and non-Muslims.
ISLAMIC PARTIES AND THE POLITICS OF CONSTITUTIONALISM IN INDONESIA

Show Abstract | Download Original | Original Source | Check in Google Scholar | DOI: 10.15642/JIIS.2012.6.2.367-390

Abstract

This article examines the relationship between religion and the state in Indonesia by exploring how Islam is used by political parties to shape the politics. The study shows that Islamic politics is a complementary in both nationhood and statehood in Indonesia. From the early days of the new-born nation-state, Muslims in Indonesia had played significant role in shaping the nation; nonetheless, they have never dominated the political power. Fragmentation among Muslims themselves and internal political parties is among the reason why religious (Islamic) parties failed in bringing religious identity to the state arena. Political subordination-inclusion-ignorance-confrontation is the circular game that features Islamic politics in Indonesia. The debatable issue on shari‘ah law, which is frequently used by Islamic parties, always becomes the core problem of the relation between Islam and the state. Even though Islam has played an important role in colouring the Indonesian politics, its existence remains complementary.
