Abstract

This study examines the Religion Twenty (R21) Forum in Indonesia as a case of interfaith dialogue for peacebuilding. Interfaith dialogue represents a facet of religious inclusion in international relations that has historically been ignored due to the preponderance of secular foundations in realist traditions. Since 11 September 2001, interfaith dialogue has increasingly served as a framework for addressing global religious challenges, including in Indonesia. This study is concerned with exploring the narrative of R20 regarding the emergence, initiation, activities, continuation and criticism of the R20 Forum. The study adopts a qualitative approach. The main question guiding the study is whether the R20 is succeeding in its peacebuilding mission. To solve this puzzle, the study uses the paradigm of interfaith dialogue for change as an analytical framework. This paper argues that the R20 has succeeded in bringing the paradigm of interfaith dialogue for peacebuilding to the fore. However, the continuation of R20 in the future is still in doubt. However, it offers a broader understanding of interfaith dialogue for peacebuilding in Indonesia, enriching knowledge that can inform public policy improvements within the country and serve as a reference for the advancement of interfaith dialogue globally.

Abstract

The Indonesian Law No. 5 of 2018 on the Prevention of the Criminal Acts of Terrorism, which is supposed to be the legal protection for every citizen, has generated resistance, resulting in delegitimization. This study aims to analyze the delegitimization of the anti-terrorism law, resulting in public resistance. The data was collected through observation, interviews and documentation studies in the form of the formulation of the anti-terror law. This study shows that the content of the enacted anti-terrorism law indicates a violation of human rights, which leads to delegitimization. The process of formulating the law without the participation of certain parties is considered counterproductive and makes the law less participatory. These things trigger the emergence of community resistance that leads to the failure of the law or the loss of the substance of the purpose of the legislation. As a result, the image of the government in preventing terrorism and extremism deteriorates, which in turn demonstrates the delegitimization of the law. This paper is limited to measuring the potential failure of the enactment of laws that have been passed and does not evaluate the implementation of anti-terrorism policies. Therefore, further studies are needed that focus on testing the effectiveness of the law by involving stakeholders.

Abstract

The #ArewaMeToo movement in Nigeria is a social media-driven campaign against sexual harassment and gender-based violence. The movement has generated controversy and resistance, prompting a closer examination of its emergence, trajectory, impact, and implications. This study, therefore, examines the emergence and trajectory of the movement and how it has used social media platforms such as Twitter (X) and Facebook to raise awareness about sexual harassment and gender-based violence in northern Nigeria. The movement has attracted significant attention and support, particularly from women who identify themselves as survivors of sexual harassment and who seek to challenge dominant approaches to sexual assault and harassment in the region. Drawing on both secondary and primary sources, this qualitative study provides a comprehensive understanding of the #ArewaMeToo movement and its impact. This research finds the controversial factors that contributed to the Nigerian Sultanate Council’s decision to ban the movement, including the influence of Muslim intellectuals and social media influencers. It also reveals the historical context, key actors, and impact of the movement, as well as the effectiveness of online movements in driving social change.

Abstract

This article describes the condition of Parmalim believers in Aceh Singkil who are marginalized and receive discriminatory treatment. This discriminatory treatment has left Parmalim believers in limbo when it comes to practicing their faith. The number of these believers in the area is decreasing day by day as more and more are converting to state-recognized religions. The research method used is the qualitative research method. The informants in this study consisted of key informants such as the village head, the secretariat of the Parmalim sect, the weekly ritual leader, and the Persantian board, as well as supporting informants, namely Parmalim believers who could provide additional information to enrich the data such as farmers, traders and people who are active in social activities in Parmalim. The results show that social activities and interactions between Parmalim believers and community members of other religions continue to run well. However, the phenomenon of discriminatory treatment against Parmalim believers is still ongoing. Proposals to repair places of worship to the Aceh Singkil Regional Government have never been fulfilled. In the field of education, there are no religious lessons or worship practices to strengthen the children of Parmalim followers. The children of Parmalim believers do not dare to reveal their beliefs, because the religious teachers at school only teach Islamic and Christian religious education.

Abstract

This research elucidates religious tolerance in Bandung, as an Indonesian urban context. The research integrates cultural, social, and philosophical insights to uncover the dynamics of tolerance as both a communal practice and an individual ethical commitment. This study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing observation, interviews, and documentation as its primary data collection methods. The key informants for this research are members of the FKUB (Forum Kerukunan Umat Beragama, or Interreligious Harmony Forum), representing the Islamic, Christian, and Confucian traditions. The research employed a descriptive, interpretive, and existential framework to analyze the data and investigate the authenticity and rationality of urban religious tolerance. The study revealed that the Kampung Toleransi (Tolerance Villages) in Bandung were shaped by three key factors: Sundanese cultural roots, urban pluralism, and existential dynamics. From an existentialist perspective, authentic tolerance emerges from conscious and rational choices that transcend societal pressures and conditional acceptance. This phenomenon is consistent with existential principles emphasizing freedom, ethical autonomy, and recognizing life’s resources.

Abstract

This article aims to examine the Salafi commitment to only refer to practices and beliefs based on evidence, which has two consequences at once, namely the potential for conflict and the process of religious literacy. Conducted in the Kampar area, this study uses a qualitative research method and is divided into two periods. The first is from September to December 2016 and the second is in 2022 after Covid-19. The second period focuses on the aspect of deepening and revalidating some important information about Salafism in Kampar through observation. The results of the research show that Salafi renewal includes aspects of beliefs and practices that are categorized as pollutants. The basis of legitimacy in the purification process is the normative argument contained in the Qur’an and authentic hadith. Embracing a religion in this context is a process of literacy, not imitation. In the end, it can be concluded that Salafi has encouraged the process of shifting from a little tradition to a large tradition in the Islamic community in Kampar.

Abstract

This research examines whether religious studies as a school subject effectively cultivate virtues and values as mandated by the curriculum, which reflects national educational goals. The study uses qualitative content analysis to explore the key educational documents, such as the syllabus and summative assessment question papers from both national and school-based evaluations. While Kohlberg’s moral development framework emphasizes reasoning and critical thinking, this research found significant challenges in the religious studies syllabus and assessments including misalignment between the syllabus and curriculum, insufficient focus on values in assessments, and poorly structured questions on values and virtues. The study recommends addressing these issues by bridging the educational disconnect, fostering reflective citizenship, and designing more holistic assessments.

Abstract

This study draws the relationship between the European colonial legal administration and the discourse of Islamic law in Indonesia by focusing on specific historical contexts from the Dutch East Indies to modern-day Indonesia. Particularly, it tries to understand how colonial behavior of anti-miscegenation relates to the modern customary law of endogamy among Indonesian Bā ‘Alawi under kafā‘a doctrine. This study applies qualitative methods to highlight the legal history of Muslim endogamy focused on the Hadhrami-origin ‘Alawiyyīn in Indonesia. The initial section discusses the institution of marriage law in Islamic classical sources and the narrative of particular ethnical-national supremacy. It argues that the colonial regime passed the legislation of anti-miscegenation laws to support endogamic marriage, intensify inter-racial tensions among indigenous people, and dehumanize mixed-blooded children. That legislative enactment is based on certain colonial legal mechanisms passed to maintain order between different ethnicities and races which were then readopted among Hadhrami Muslims to popularize kafā‘a doctrine. Hence the constructed idea of “pernikahan sekufu” or kufū’-based marriage was later associated with the intra-ethnical marriage, especially among the sharīf/sharīfa which withheld the claim of their superior lineage as descendants of the Prophet.

Abstract

This research examines local wisdom as a model for recognizing indigenous religions within the context of interfaith encounters through adat practices. While Indonesia’s diversity of beliefs is a significant cultural asset, it can also become a source of conflict if not properly managed, particularly concerning the recognition of indigenous religions. Indigenous religions serve as guardians of local wisdom and play a crucial role in fostering social cohesion. Therefore, the application of local wisdom through adat practices is vital for facilitating interfaith encounters in everyday life, aligning with the concept of lived religion. The interpretation of local wisdom and the practice of traditional ceremonies—comprising rituals, symbols, and oral narratives—play a pivotal role in acknowledging the existence and value of indigenous religions. By focusing on the case of Marapu, indigenous religion in Sumba, this research highlights the importance of recognizing indigenous religions within the broader Indonesian context. The study employs a qualitative methodology with a critical ethnographic approach, utilizing data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and literature review. The findings reveal that adat, as a lived religious practice among the people of Sumba, serves as a “womb” capable of providing social recognition for Marapu. Within the Christian-Marapu encounter, significant interpenetration occurs during the implementation of adat, emphasizing the deep entwinement of cultural practices and belief systems in sustaining mutual respect and coexistence.

Abstract

This article examines a customary society’s approach to environmental conservation, particularly the indigenous group in Cikondang village, Bandung Regency. This article employs a case study approach to understand their local wisdom toward nature. In addition, this study adopts a perennial philosophy perspective, which considers nature and humanity as integral parts of a divine macro and micro cosmos, necessitating mutual protection and harmony. The study reveals that the Cikondang people adhere to the philosophy of mipit kudu amit, ngala kudu bebeja (picking requires permission, taking must be declared), which underscores not only a prohibition against theft but also an ethical commitment to environmental sustainability. This principle is manifested in the strict protection of sacred areas such as huluwotan (spring sources) and prohibited forests, which are safeguarded against exploitation. The study shows the significance of indigenous beliefs and practices in promoting ecological balance, providing crucial insights for contemporary environmental management.
