Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT As a multicultural country, the opportunities for clashes and conflicts in Indonesia are widely open. The plurality and heterogeneity of Indonesian society is reflected in multiple cultures, religions, and lifestyle diversity. In the national history of Indonesia, various inter-religion conflicts occurred in Poso in 1998 and Ambon in 1999 and others. There are uncountable casualties and material losses in the conflicts. Many conflicts with the religious flags have led Synod of Churches in North and Central Sulawesi to spearhead the Peace Love Movement as an interfaith movement. The Synod Am/SAG houses 13 other churches. The movement pioneer by the Synod Am/SAG later became a pioneer in building public awareness that despite our society is diverse, we are one nation. Therefore, it was initiated the School of Pluralism in 2014, the school that educates the interfaith youth through class encounter classes. It was held one week. This pluralism school is held annually. Based on the above background, the researchers are interested in examining the role of Pluralism School alumni in maintaining religious harmony in North Sulawesi.

  • The Populism of Islamist Preachers in Indonesia's 2019 Presidential
    The Populism of Islamist Preachers in Indonesia’s 2019 Presidential Election Yuka Kayane University of Tsukuba Populism without leadership? he literature on populism in Asian countries over the past two decades has generally featured charismatic and often autocratic leaders, as notably demonstrated elsewhere by the rise (and fall) of Thaksin Shinawatra due to his vehement rhetoric that antago- Tnized political elites in Bangkok, Rodrigo Duterte’s brutal and lawless war on drugs, and the continuous electoral success of Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist government, which prop- agates a divisive rhetoric that alienates Muslim minorities.1 Those analyses and media com- mentaries have highlighted personalistic leaders’ political strategies for seeking or exercising governmental power based on direct, unmediated, un-institutionalized support from large numbers of mostly unorganized followers.2 While the aforementioned top-down populism with powerful leadership has often attracted significant attention, recent studies have shown that there are varieties of other forms of populist mobilization; some take bottom-up forms of social movement, while others have both personalist leadership and social movement.3 In addition, its characteristics substantially depend on local context, such as the ideological bases that are most appealing to the specific society, the figures best positioned to succeed in gaining acceptance as a representative of the people, and how antagonistic oppositions are constructed. The term ‘populism’ was widely used during the 2014 Indonesian presidential election, in which both candidates––Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and Prabowo Subianto––leveraged the 1 Joshua Kurlantzick,“Southeast Asia’s Populism is Different but Also Dangerous,” Council on Foreign Relations, November 1, 2018, https://www.cfr.org/in-brief/​south​east-asias​-popul​ism-diffe​rent-also-dange​ rous, accessed December 12, 2019.

  • Hans Harmakaputra, Interfaith Relations in Contemporary Indonesia
    Key Issues in Religion and World Affairs Interfaith Relations in Contemporary Indonesia: Challenges and Progress Hans Abdiel Harmakaputra PhD Student in Comparative Theology, Boston College I. Introduction In February 2014 Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) published a report concerning the rise of religious intolerance across Indonesia. Entitled Indonesia: Pluralism in Peril,1 this study portrays the problems plaguing interfaith relations in Indonesia, where many religious minorities suffer from persecution and injustice. The report lists five main factors contributing to the rise of religious intolerance: (1) the spread of extremist ideology through media channels, such as the internet, religious pamphlets, DVDs, and other means, funded from inside and outside the country; (2) the attitude of local, provincial, and national authorities; (3) the implementation of discriminatory laws and regulations; (4) weakness of law enforcement on the part of police and the judiciary in cases where religious minorities are victimized; and (5) the unwillingness of a “silent majority” to speak out against intolerance.2 This list of factors shows that the government bears considerable responsibility. Nevertheless, the hope for a better way to manage Indonesia’s diversity was one reason why Joko Widodo was elected president of the Republic of Indonesia in October 2014. Joko Widodo (popularly known as “Jokowi”) is a popular leader with a relatively positive governing record. He was the mayor of Surakarta (Solo) from 2005 to 2012, and then the governor of Jakarta from 2012 to 2014. People had great expectations for Jokowi’s administration, and there have been positive improvements during his term. However, Human Rights Watch (HRW) World Report 2016 presents negative data regarding his record on human rights in the year 2015, including those pertaining to interfaith relations.3 The document 1 The pdf version of the report can be downloaded freely from Christian Solidarity Worldwide, “Indonesia: Pluralism in Peril,” February 14, 2014.

  • The Construction of Mass Organization Publication in Islamic News Portals Dwi Latifatul Fajri1, Agus Triyono2
    ISSN 2685-2403 MEDIO Vol 2, No 1, July 2020, pp. 37-61 The Construction of Mass Organization Publication in Islamic News Portals Dwi Latifatul Fajri1, Agus Triyono2 Abstract The issuance of the Government Regulation in Lieu of Law Number 2, the Year 2017 on the Mass Organization, has gained several pros and cons before its legal verification. One of the most significant applications of the regulation is in the disbandment of Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia without undergoing legal process due to the renewal of regulation, namely the contrario actus principle. The news on mass organization regulation also becomes the highlight of Islamic news portals, namely Eramuslim.com, Nu.or.id, and Hidayatullah.com. The three portals are chosen for the study due to their frequent published news on the mass organization and their position at the top ranks for the most-visited news portal (Alexa.com). Despite being the same Islamic-based media, the three portals have distinctive news framing. This study applied the framing analysis model by Zhongdang Pan and Gerald M. Kosicki. The Nu.or.id reported there was much support for the issuance of the mass organization regulation based on the religious context, and many sides are against the peaceful action of 299. Hidayatullah.com claims that the regulation has discriminated against and limited the freedom of speech of mass organizations. Lastly, Eramuslim.com views regulation as a political tool used by the government. Based on Golding and Murdock, Hidayatullah.com and Nu.or.id have organizational interests to carry on their news; therefore, it shows an apparent tendency to take sides.

  • (Un) Civil Society and Political Change in Indonesia : a Contested Arena / Verena Beittinger-Lee
    (Un)Civil Society and Political Change in Indonesia (Un)Civil Society and Political Change in Indonesia provides a critical ana- lysis of Indonesia’s civil society and its impact on the country’s democratiza- tion efforts that not only takes the classical, pro-democratic actors of civil society into account but also portrays uncivil groups and their growing influ- ence on political processes. Beittinger-Lee offers a revised categorization of civil society, including a model to define the sphere of ‘uncivil society’ more closely and to identify several subcategories of uncivil society. This is the first book to portray various uncivil groups in Indonesia, ranging from vigilantes, militias, paramilitaries, youth groups, civil security task forces and militant Islamic (and other reli- gious) groups, ethnonationalist groups to terrorist organizations and groups belonging to organized crime. Moreover, it provides the reader with an over- view of Indonesia’s history, its political developments after the democratic opening, main improvements under the various presidents since Suharto’s fall, constitutional amendments and key reforms in human rights legislation. This book will be of interest to upper-level undergraduates, postgraduates and academics in political science and Southeast Asian studies. Verena Beittinger-Lee obtained her PhD from the Department of Southeast Asian Studies at the Alexander von Humboldt University in Berlin in 2007 and now works at a law firm in New York. Routledge Studies on Civil Society in Asia Series Editor: Mark Sidel, University of Iowa, USA. Routledge Studies on Civil Society in Asia addresses the role of civil society, nonprofit, philanthropic, NGO, religious and other organizations in their social context both in individual countries and in comparative perspective across East, Southeast, and South Asia.

  • Islamic Radicalism Network in the City of Palu
    Islamic Radicalism Network in The City of Palu Gani Jumat1 {[email protected]} Institut Agama Islam Negeri Palu, Indonesia1 Abstract. This article discusses Islamic radicalism in Palu City, networks and political alliances, as well as people's responses to their existence. This paper is limited to two main problems; first, how radical Islamic political activities and alliances in the city of Palu, second, how the community's response to the radical Islamic network. In network theory there are two important elements that can or can influence a change in society, namely first, culture, and secondly the process of socialization that internalizes norms and values into actors. Normatively, what unites people together is a group of shared ideas. So the position of religious leaders in one community in socio-religious life has never been rivaled, in uniting and building communities in the surrounding environment. In that context, religious issues, religious attitudes are also used as jargon to build practical political alliances. Keywords: Islamic Radicalism, Networks, Political Alliances, Community Response of Palu City 1. Introduction The emergence of radical religious movements is an important phenomenon that has contributed to the image of contemporary Indonesian Islam. The appearance of movement 212 in 2017 which was originally an issue that is driven by religion intention in protest against the blasphemy case then in 2018 switched to political issues as an attitude of "hidden support " in the name of religion for a particular Presidential Election’s candidate in the 2019 Presidential Election, as well as the strong reaction shown by the Hizbut Tahrir group over the case of the "tauhid flag" burning is a phenomenon of radical Islamic political movements under religious cloak that are should not be ignored in Indonesia.
