Islam in Taiwan: History and Educational Relevance Educational Review: International Journal | Vol. 16, No. 2, 2019 p-ISSN 1682-4377 | e-ISSN 0168 2423 ISLAM IN TAIWAN: HISTORY AND EDUCATIONAL RELEVANCE IIS RODIAH Institut Agama Islam Darussalam (IAID), Ciamis, Jawa Barat, Indonesia GOH KENG-HUANG National University of Kaohsiung, Taiwan UJANG ENDANG Institut Agama Islam Darussalam (IAID), Ciamis, Jawa Barat, Indonesia Abstract Islam has been introduced to mainland China since the 7th century AD, then the spread of Islam became more reliable and more widespread when Cheng Ho's fleet from the Ming dynasty arrived in Taiwan in the 16th century. The focus of this research is to examine the history of Islam in Taiwan during the period from the 7th century, dynastic era to the republic era. This research used a qualitative approach to literature study techniques. Islam in Taiwan has gone through a long history, experiencing the ups and downs of political dynamics. Sinicization as an effort to uphold Chinese supremacy by Zhu Yuanzhang and the strong influence of Confucianism is a process of cultural assimilation that has a widespread impact and contributes to the decline of the Muslim community in Taiwan from generation to generation. The progress of Islam in Taiwan currently depends on the increasing number of Taiwanese converts and Muslim immigrants from various countries, including Indonesia, Pakistan, Malaysia, Africa, and Muslim Middle Eastern countries. Keywords: Taiwan, Islamic History, Educational Development Educational Review: International Journal 99 Vol. 16, No. 2, 2019 INTRODUCTION Three critical events largely influence the development of Islam in Taiwan in history. First, that Islam was introduced to China during the Tang Dynasty, around the 7th century by Arab and Persian Muslim traders by taking the silk road and maritime ceramic road. Second, the 16th century was marked by the arrival of general Cheng Ho and his troops from the Ming dynasty on the third island of Formosa in 1949 as Chiang Kai-shek, leader of the Nationalist party, fled to Taiwan after his defeat of the Communist Party in Mainland China. Historically, the spread of Islam to China occurred around the 6th and 7th centuries AD through trade contacts and diplomatic missions between Arabs and Chinese. The Era is more or less the same as the spread of Islam in Indonesia. Ji (2017: 86) states that during the Tang dynasty (618-907), Arab and Persian merchants came to China. Even some of them later married Chinese and settled for the rest of their lives. The spread of Islam through a diplomatic mission occurred when Caliph Uthman sent an envoy to Changan. Ta Sen (2018: 109) states that Islamic scholars and the Chinese accept that the 6th century AD is the beginning of the spread of Islam in China. Unlike the development of Islam in Indonesia, the history of the development of Islam in Taiwan or the Republic of China (ROC) can be said to be quite slow. It can be seen from the population development of ethnic Chinese (Hui) Muslims in Taiwan. Hsiu Ping (2019) states that in the 1950s, around 20,000 - 40,000 Chinese Muslims came to Taiwan along with the transfer of the national government under Chiang Kai-shek's leadership. Ethnic Categories Population Percentage Indonsian Muslims 280,000 96.80% 83.77% Chinese Muslims (Hui) 8,000-53,000 2.77% 15.86% Pakistani Muslims 300 0.10% 0.09% Turkic Muslims 250 0.09% 0.07& Arab Muslims 200 0.07% 0.06% African Muslims 200 0.07% 0.06% Other ethnic Muslims 300 0.10% 0.09% Total 289.250-334.250 100% 100% Table 1. Statistics of the Muslim population in Taiwan by ethnic category (Hsiu Ping, 2019) 100 Educational Review: International Journal Vol. 16, No. 2, 2019 Currently, the Muslim population in Taiwan is only around 53,000, or an increase of about 24.5% over the past five decades. This amount is equivalent to 2.77% -15.86% of the total Muslim population in Taiwan. Most of the Muslim community in Taiwan today are immigrants or foreign nationals who work in Taiwan, as can be seen in the table. Politically, Taiwan or the Republic of China (ROC) was founded in 2012 after the collapse of the Qing dynasty. Tanasaldi (2017: 3) explains that the ROC was controlled by the leader of the nationalist party known as Kuo Min Tang (KMT faced various political and military upheavals. Many enemies tried to control the mainland China. The communist group was one of the biggest enemies who began to gain great influence in 1930 and has the support of most of the Chinese mainland. Finally, on October 1, 1949, the communist party under the leadership of Mao Zedong succeeded in defeating the nationalist party and establishing the People's Republic of China (PRC). Chiang Kai-shek, who was then leading the nationalist party, then fled to Taiwan. Both the ROC and the PRC are implementing the One China Policy, which emphasizes that there is only one Chinese state in the world. The political dynamics of the ROC and the PRC in world relations at the United Nations force Taiwan as a country with two systems or a semi-independent country with limited recognition. Regarding the history of Islam in Taiwan, which is also called island China, however, the Islamic style there has an important timeline related to the development of Islam in mainland China (mainland) in previous times. How are the development of Islam to the present and its direction to the future, it is interesting to examine more deeply. METHOD The research method used to understand the history of Islam in Taiwan is a qualitative approach, using literature study techniques and looking at various library materials, especially those published in the last five years, both in the form of printed and electronic libraries. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Early Spread of Islam in China The history of Islam in Taiwan cannot be separated from the history of the development of Islam in mainland China. As stated by Pelletier, Robert (2014: 23), China is still considered by Waishengren as the place of origin for their cultural traits. They believe that Taiwanese culture is also "Chinese". In other words, Educational Review: International Journal 101 Vol. 16, No. 2, 2019 culturally, there are similarities and links between Taiwan as a nation and China as ethnicity in its history. It is in line with Ta Sen's opinion (2018: 6). He emphasized that the spread of a religion or culture is through the community through several stages, and not from a single event. Furthermore, Ta Sen noted that the spread of religion is a process among a group of people, communities, or tribes over a period. Therefore, to understand the history of Islam in Taiwan, it is also essential to understand the history of development from its roots since the early period of the growth of Islam in China. Chinese civilization emerged and developed from the valley between two major rivers, namely the Yellow and Yangtse rivers. Shaughnessy (20000: 12) in Ta Sen (2018: 23) states that the central plains bordered by these two great rivers are the heart of Chinese civilization. Historians claim it is the original world of China. History records that Confucianism and Taoism are two philosophical pillars that developed and took root in the life of Chinese society. For Chinese people, Confucianism and Atheism, which have existed since 550 Before Christ, are a side of life that must be held. The traditions and culture of Chinese society are almost inseparable from the two values. Although Buddhism was recorded as having entered China in the 1st century AD during the reign of Emperor Ming Di of the Han Dynasty, and Islam entered China in the 7th century AD, however, the values of Confucianism or Taoism were always colored as a form of cultural assimilation. Regarding the entry of Islam in China, Chen Yuan (Shoujiang & Jia: 2017: 1) states that Islam was introduced to China in the second year of Emperor Yonghui of the Tang Dynasty in 651 AD He found Tang historical records and "Cefu Yuangui" (book guide ) which states that Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty received the arrival of the diplomatic envoy of the third Caliph of Arabia Othman (644-656 AD) in Chang'an, the capital of Tang. Ta Sen (2018: 110) states that from 651 to 798 or in 148 years, there were no less than 39 Arabic honorary missions sent to the Tang Palace. Apart from being introduced through the diplomatic mission of the caliph Arabia Othman, Islam was also introduced through trade missions. Ji (2017: 86) mentions that during the Tang Dynasty (618-907), Arab and Persian traders came to China. Many of them chose to live in China for the rest of their lives and married the Chinese (Chinese). Ta Sen (2018: 113) further explains that these pioneering Muslims built settlements in the capital city and trade centers in China. Islam then developed and experienced the most important period in terms of its spread during the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), which was founded by the Mongols. Ta Sen (2018: 119) states that in 1271, China was conquered by the 102 Educational Review: International Journal Vol. 16, No. 2, 2019 Mongol nomadic forces, led by Temujin, who later adopted the title, Genghis Khan. It is an important event in Chinese history. According to him, the Mongols colonized not only China but also Central Asia, West Asia, and Eastern Europe. This established the Mongols as the world's superpower in the 13-14 century. It was under this Mongol government that a massive migration of Muslims from Asia and West Asia took place in China.

  • Salience of Ethnicity Among Burman Muslims: a Study in Identity Formation
    INTELLECTUAL DISCOURSE, 2005 VOL 13, N0 2, 161-179 Salience of Ethnicity among Burman Muslims: A Study in Identity Formation Khin Maung Yin∗ Abstract: Muslims, constituting about thirteen percent of the total population of Myanmar or Burma are not a monolithic group and are unable to provide a united front in their struggle to realize their just demands. They are divided into many groups and their relationship with each other is conflictual. As the cases of Indian and Bamar (Burman) Muslims show, they rely upon ethnicity, rather than religion, for identity formation and self-expression. Burma, known as Myanmar since 1989, is the second largest country in ASEAN or South East Asia.1 It stretches nearly 1500 miles from North to South. With an area of 678,500 square km and a population of about 48 million, it lies at the juncture of three regions of Southeast Asia, South Asia and East Asia. It is situated between two Asian giants, India and China, and shares borders with Bangladesh, Thailand and Laos. Burma is more significant than many other countries in the region as it is surrounded, in the southwest and south, by the Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea. It lies, in the words of Huntington, across the fault lines of the Hindu, Buddhist and Confucian civilisations.2 Burma or Myanmar is a nation with many races and there are about 135 ethnic groups. Its population is nearly 50 million. The majority are Bamar, but the Shan, Kachin, Kayin, Chin, Mon, Rakhine, Burmese Muslims, Indian Muslims, Chinese Muslims and others are prominent minority groups in Burma.

  • Islamic Education in Myanmar: a Case Study
    10: Islamic education in Myanmar: a case study Mohammed Mohiyuddin Mohammed Sulaiman Introduction `Islam', which literally means `peace' in Arabic, has been transformed into a faith interpreted loosely by one group and understood conservatively by another, making it seem as if Islam itself is not well comprehended by its followers. Today, it is the faith of 1.2 billion people across the world; Asia is a home for 60 per cent of these adherents, with Muslims forming an absolute majority in 11 countries (Selth 2003:5). Since the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, international scholars have become increasingly interested in Islam and in Muslims in South-East Asia, where more than 230 million Muslims live (Mutalib 2005:50). These South-East Asian Muslims originally received Islam from Arab traders. History reveals the Arabs as sea-loving people who voyaged around the Indian Ocean (IIAS 2005), including to South-East Asia. The arrival of Arabs has had different degrees of impact on different communities in the region. We find, however, that not much research has been done by today's Arabs on the Arab±South-East Asian connection, as they consider South-East Asia a part of the wider `East', which includes Iran, Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Indeed, the term `South-East Asia' is hardly used in modern Arab literature. For them, anything east of the Middle East and non-Arabic speaking world is considered to be `Asia' (Abaza 2002). According to Myanmar and non-Myanmar sources, Islam reached the shores of Myanmar's Arakan (Rakhine State) as early as 712 AD, via oceangoing merchants, and in the form of Sufism.

    Religions of foreign origin have shaped Chinese cultural history much stronger than generally assumed and continue to have impact on Chinese society in varying regional degrees. The essays collected in the present volume put a special emphasis on these “foreign” and less familiar aspects of Chinese religion. Apart from an introductory article on Daoism (the BKGA 85 BKGA Religion in China proto­typical autochthonous religion of China), the volume reflects China’s encounter with religions of the so-called Western Regions, starting from the adoption of Indian Buddhism to early settlements of religious minorities from the Near East (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) and the early modern debates between Confucians and Christian missionaries. Contemporary Major Concepts and religious minorities, their specific social problems, and their regional diversities are discussed in the cases of Abrahamitic traditions in China.

Along with the traditional religions of China - Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam influenced noticeable impact on the formation of Chinese civilization. The followers of Islam have a significant impact on ethno-religious, political, economic and cultural relations of the Chinese society. Ethno-cultural heterogeneity of Chinese Islam has defined its confessional identity. The peculiarity of Chinese Islam is determined, firstly, with its religious heterogeneity. In China there all three main branches of Islam: Sunnism, Shiism, and Sufism. Secondly, the unique nature of Chinese Islam is defined by close relationship with the traditional religions of China (Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism) and Chinese population folk beliefs. Chinese Islam has incorporated many specific feat ures of the traditional religious culture of China, which heavily influenced on the religious consciousness and religious activities of Chinese Muslims.

  • Indonesian Schools: Shaping the Future of Islam and Democracy in a Democratic Muslim Country
    Journal of International Education and Leadership Volume 5 Issue 1 Spring 2015 http://www.jielusa.org/ ISSN: 2161-7252 Indonesian Schools: Shaping the Future of Islam and Democracy in a Democratic Muslim Country Kathleen E. Woodward University of North Georgia This paper examines the role of schools in slowly Islamizing Indonesian society and politics. Why is this Islamization happening and what does it portend for the future of democracy in Indonesia? The research is mostly qualitative and done through field experience, interviews, and data collection. It is concluded that radical madrasahs are not the main generators of Islamization, but instead the widespread prevalence of moderate Islamic schools are Islamizing Indonesian society and politics. The government began the “mainstreaming” of Islamic elementary and secondary schools, most of which are private, in 1975. This has continued and grown, making them popular options for education today. The government has more recently been increasing the role of state run Islamic universities by expanding their degree offerings to include many non- Islamic disciplines. The use of Islamic schools to educate Indonesians is due to the lack of development of secular public schools and high informal fees charged for the public schools. By making Islamic schools an attractive option that prepares students for success, society has been Islamized slowly as the number of alumni increases and as these alumni play leadership roles in society, business, and government. This Islamization is not of a radical nature, but it is resulting in more Islamic focused public discourse and governing policy, and low levels of tolerance for other faiths and variant Muslim practices.

  • The Rise of Islamic Religious-Political
    Hamid Fahmy Zarkasyi THE RISE OF ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS-POLITICAL MOVEMENTS IN INDONESIA The Background, Present Situation and Future1 Hamid Fahmy Zarkasyi The Institute for Islamic Studies of Darussalam, Gontor Ponorogo, Indonesia Abstract: This paper traces the roots of the emergence of Islamic religious and political movements in Indonesia especially during and after their depoliticization during the New Order regime. There were two important impacts of the depoliticization, first, the emergence of various study groups and student organizations in university campuses. Second, the emergence of Islamic political parties after the fall of Suharto. In addition, political freedom after long oppression also helped create religious groups both radical on the one hand and liberal on the other. These radical and liberal groups were not only intellectual movements but also social and political in nature. Although the present confrontation between liberal and moderate Muslims could lead to serious conflict in the future, and would put the democratic atmosphere at risk, the role of the majority of the moderates remains decisive in determining the course of Islam and politics in Indonesia. Keywords: Islamic religious-political movement, liberal Islam, non-liberal Indonesian Muslims. Introduction The rise of Islamic political parties and Islamic religious movements after the fall of Suharto was not abrupt in manner. The process was gradual, involving numbers of national and global factors. 1 The earlier version of this paper was presented at the conference “Islam and Asia: Revisiting the Socio-Political Dimension of Islam,” jointly organized by Japan Institute of International Affairs (JIIA) and Institute of Islamic Understanding Malaysia (IKIM), 15-16 October, Tokyo.

  • 1 Contemporary Ethnic Identity of Muslim Descendants Along The
    1 Contemporary Ethnic Identity Of Muslim Descendants Along the Chinese Maritime Silk Route Dru C Gladney Anthropology Department University of South Carolina U.S.A At the end of five day's journey, you arrive at the noble-and handsome city of Zaitun [Quanzhoui] which has a port on the sea-coast celebrated for the resort of shipping, loaded with merchandise, that is afterwards distributed through every part of the province .... It is indeed impossible to convey an idea of the concourse of merchants and the accumulation of goods, in this which is held to be one of the largest and most commodious ports in the world. Marco Polo In February 1940, representatives from the China Muslim National Salvation society in Beijing came to the fabled maritime Silk Road city of Quanzhou, Fujian, known to Marco Polo as Zaitun, in order to interview the members of a lineage surnamed "Ding" who resided then and now in Chendai Township, Jinjiang County. In response to a question on his ethnic background, Mr. Ding Deqian answered: "We are Muslims [Huijiao reo], our ancestors were Muslims" (Zhang 1940:1). It was not until 1979, however, that these Muslims became minzu, an ethnic nationality. After attempting to convince the State for years that they belonged to the Hui nationality, they were eventually accepted. The story of the late recognition of the members of the Ding lineage in Chendai Town and the resurgence of their ethnoreligious identity as Hui and as Muslims is a fascinating reminder that there still exist remnants of the ancient connections between Quanzhou and the Western Regions, the origin points of the Silk Road.
