Abstract

The formalization movement of Islamic sharia which is currently prevalent in Indonesia has succeeded in taking advantage of the development of the discourse of strengthening local identity in the Regional Autonomy era. One of the successes of this movement is the issuance of various local regulations with nuances of Islamic sharia in various regions in Indonesia. One area that currently shows such a trend is South Kalimantan. In this area, the starting point of the development of the discourse of affirming local identity is the negative impact of global culture that synergizes with the totalitarianism of the construct of the nation state. Therefore, when the distinctive character developed by the Islamism movement is a counter-ideology towards various modernism and secularism, this movement is able to intertwine with local identity affirmation discourse which also develops an resistance to the nation-state construct tend to be totalitarianism in the style of the New Order which is also a product of modernism. As a result, various local regulations on Islamic sharia are discriminatory, sectarian, corruptive, and intolerant of the diversity of national culture.

Abstract

Indonesia is a country consisting of various ethnicities, religions, and races. Multicolored ethnic groups have inhabited for centuries in the country of Indonesia. The interaction between them for decades also gave birth to a pluralist concept, which is a respectful order among them. Pancasila which has become the basis of the Indonesian State proves the existence of cultural diversity as well as the recognition of Indonesian Islam towards the plurality of cultures in Indonesia. Therefore the revitalization of Pancasila with the life and daily reality of Indonesian society is a necessity. In the future, dialogue between cultures and religions that are more concerned with equality is very important.

Abstract

After the fall of the New Order, ICMI as an organization of Indonesian Muslim Intellectuals established in the New Order era, which was originally close to the government party (Golkar), scattered to look for a more appropriate political channel. Diverse ideologies and backgrounds resulted in ICMI members establishing and joining different political parties. Although, there are still a number of other ICMI members remaining loyal to the Golkar party. However, the results of the 1999 elections disappointed a number of ICMI members who had joined in a number of these parties. The disappointment implies the birth of the "Central Axis" which is driven by Amien Rais. Therefore, it is true to say that ICMI in the New Order was very important because being a political vehicle turned into an 'association' organization which incidentally after the 1999 election encouraged the birth of the Central Axis.

The study in this paper is based largely on literature research, observing religious interactions, and collecting notes and records of religious speeches in Indonesia. In addition to examining the controversy that covers the usefulness of forgiveness and the benefits of the desire for revenge, this paper would like to show that forgiveness is far more beneficial than the desire for revenge, especially in a conflict-prone plural society like Indonesia.

He did so not only with his own colleagues, but also with non- Muslims. It was never his intention to attack his opponents, even though he often found himself in the position of defending Islam.
