Abstract

This paper examines dialogue and dialectic between Islam and local culture in economics as a representation of Indonesian Islam. Islamic teachings in Indonesia have particular characters compared to Islamic tradition in some other Muslim countries. According to many researches, Islam in Indonesia is accommodative – Islam which tends to compromise with situation and condition in Indonesia, particularly social-political condition in a certain time. Dialogue and dialectic between Islam and local culture in economic sector as the representation of Indonesian Islam can be seen from many Islamic economic activities in the society. Some of economic activities practiced in Indonesia are : rejection to the practice of riba, implementation of profit sharing.

Abstract

At the beginning of its formation, MUI showed itself as a religious institution whose fatwas were often supportive of government policies. After the political reformation in 1998, MUI tried to voice its demands and try to get a new role. In this situation, the most ready force was conservative Muslims who started to enter MUI in the late 1990s and then added by the entry of some radical Islamic groups just before the fall of Soeharto in 1998. The inevitable consequence was the changing nature of MUI from an apolitical organization to a political tool played by these Muslim groups. Controlling MUI is one of the strategies of radical-conservative Islamic groups to achieve their political agendas. They use two strategies: non-structural and structural. Non-structural strategies are carried out through demonstrations, intimidation, and attacking people or groups seen as enemies of Islam. Meanwhile, structural strategies are carried out by forming or cooperating with Islamist political parties, alliances with state forces that are considered powerful such as the military, and controlling or controlling semi-state Islamic institutions such as the MUI. Controlling the MUI has given radical Muslim groups two advantages: first, to Islamize Indonesia from within and second, Islamic legitimacy for its various non-structural activities. When radical-conservative Muslims succeed in controlling the MUI, their Islamic views can be easily propagated because their voice has become the voice of the MUI which, in some cases, is claimed to be the official voice of the Indonesian government and Muslims.

Abstract

It appears that the threat or problem of social and national disintegration is an integral part of the process of Indonesian national history. Since 1997, Indonesia still faces various social crises such as corruption, poverty, low or education backwardness, unemployment, crime, illegal logging, ethnic and community problems, religious conflicts and separatism. As a result, these conditions have led to a declining sense of nationalism which then increases the potential for social and national disintegration. For example, when President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono visited Ambon some time ago, we were shocked by the Peak Lele dance performed by supporters of the RMS movement in Ambon. GAM supporters then formed a local political party called the Free Aceh Movement Party. Supporters of the Organization for a Free Papua (OPM) raise the Morning Star flag to signal the existence of the Free Papua Movement. Therefore, all elements of the Indonesian nation should take responsibility and play an active role in strengthening the unity of this nation. Like other elements of the nation, Indonesian Muslims, as the country's majority, are also responsible and must play an active role in strengthening the country's unity and integrity. On this topic, this article focuses on a conceptual analysis of the relationship between Islam and pluralism, and then elaborates on the extent to which Indonesian Muslims play a role in promoting social and ethnic integration in a pluralistic Indonesian society.

Abstract

This article examines the traces of South Sulawesi's maritime culture in Southeast Asia and before the sixteenth century. The choice of a period prior to the 16th century is based on the fact that existing literature on the subject generally mentions the involvement of South Sulawesi merchant seamen in trade in Southeast Asia and even Asia, which occurred in the first half of the 20th century AD 16 century or earliest second half of the 15th century. These writings always refer to the 1512 voyages of the Portuguese navigator Tom Pires, who found merchants from the island of Macassar establishing trade with various parts of Southeast Asia. However, based on the authors' assessment of available external and local sources, it is concluded that their involvement dates back to the first century AD.
