Title of Thesis : The Intellectual Responses to the Establishment of Xkatan Cendekiawan Muslim Indonesia, 1990- 1995 shaken the Indonesian political scene, discussion of the relation and affinity between Islam and the state once again came to the fore. The controversy surrounding KM'S establishment revolved around two basic questions, namely, whet her it was a polit ical @ maneuver by the New Order govemment, or a true manifestation of the Muslim community's aspirations. The resulting situation prompted a large number of responses fiom people of various backgrounds. Support, opposition and neutrality towards KM1 arose during its five year existence (1990-1995). These responses took cognizance of the hidden motives behind the New Order's political support of the organization, as well as the govemment 's new appreciation and accommodation of Islam and Muslim demands. The present thesis will thus note, evaiuate and analyze these responses in light of the specific context surrounding ICMI's establishment, as well as the numerous analyses extended by various political observers. The thesis will dso seek to explain why ICMI became a phenomenon welcomed by most Indonesian Muslims. - - . Auteur : Fuadi Mardatillah Titre du mémoire : Les réponses inteilectuelles à l'établissement du Ikatan Cendekiawan Muslim Indonesia, Département : Institut des Études Islamiques Diplôme : Meseès Arts .- .. - - - . Depuis la création, le 6 décembre 1990, du Ikatan Cendekiawan Muslim hdonesia (ICMI, Association Intellectuelle Musulmane Indonésienne), un évènement qui a bouleversé la scène politique indonésienne, les discussions portant sur les relations et les affinités entre l'Islam et l'état sont à nouveau mises de l'avant. La controverse entourant la création du KM1 s'est développée à partir de deux questions fondamentales, c'est-à- dire si c'était une maneuvre orchestrée par le gouvernement de l'Ordre Nouveau ou encore une manifestation authentique des aspirations de la communauté musulmane. Le résultat de cette situation a suscité un nombre important de réponses diverses de la part d'individus issus de divers milieux. Le soutien, l'opposition et la neutralité à l'égard de l'ICA41 a surgi pendant ses cinq années d'existence. De ces réponses, ont pu être perçus des motifs cachés derrière le soutien politique de l'organisation par l'Ordre Nouveau de même que les considérations et les compromis du gouvernement à l'égard de 1'Islam et des revendications musulmanes. Ce présent mémoire va donc noter, évaluer et analyser ces réponses en considérant le contexte spécifique entourant la création du ICEle, de même que les nombreuse analyses élaborées par les observateurs politiques. Ce mémoire va aussi tenter d'expliquer pourquoi le ICMI est devenu un phénomène bien accueilli par la plupart des musulmans indonésiens. A&tmdulillah, my boundless thanks go to the Omniscient and the Omnipotent God who is the Creator of dl beings. Without the guidance, help, power and health continuously bestowed upon me by Him, this thesis would never have existed.

    Political Science 636: Southeast Asia Office: 2038 Derby Fall 2001 Hours: MW 10:30-12:30 or CL 171, MW 1:30-3:18 by appointment. Professor Liddle INTERPRETING INDONESIAN POLITICS Introduction. The purpose of this course is to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of alternative interpretations of Indonesian political developments since independence in 1945. We begin with basic description of pre-colonial and Dutch colonial history, the experience of Japanese occupation, revolution, and the independence period, divided into subperiods of parliamentary democracy, Guided Democracy, the New Order, and the current reform era. Several alternative interpretations are then examined, beginning with the most popular, culture, and ending with Professor Liddle’s own research emphasis on leadership and agency. There will be a mid-term, worth one-third of the course grade, and a final exam worth two-thirds. Both will be in-class exams, but the exam questions will be handed out several days before the exam date. The mid-term will be on Monday, October 15, the final on Tuesday, December 4 from 11:30AM-1:18PM. Students are expected to read the assigned materials before class, which will be conducted as a seminar to the extent possible. One additional grade level (for example, from B to B+) will be given for regular and effective participation. Book and article availability. Two books will be available for purchase: Benedict Anderson and Audrey Kahin, Interpreting Indonesian Politics: Thirteen Contributions to the Debate, Cornell Modern Indonesia Project, 1982; and Robert Hefner, Civil Islam, Princeton University Press, 2000. Soemarsaid Moertono, State and Statecraft in Old Java, can also be ordered from the publisher if desired.

The Integral Motion of Mohammad Natsir was his attempt to invite several factional leaders in the Indonesian parliament in 1950 to leave the Republic of the United States of Indonesia (RIS). RIS was formed by the Dutch and the head to the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) based on the results of the Indonesian’s proclamation on 17 August, 1945. There were several objectives of the Mohammad Natsir’s Integral Motion. Firstly, the national goal was to strengthen and improve the quality of national integration and unity. Secondly, the state's goal was that to re-establish and strengthen the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI), and thirdly, the religious objectives were that to strengthen and improve the quality of the integrity and unity of Muslims Indonesia. The Islamic ummah and the Indonesian people have lack of knowledge and information about Mohammad Natsir's Integral Motion because of several factors: the Government of Indonesia during the old and new order often linked the pioneers of Mohammad Natsir's Integral Motion with the revolt of the Revolutionary Government of the Republic of Indonesia (PRRI), the exclusion of Mohammad Natsir's Integral Motion material in national history lessons, such as the lack of books on Mohammad Natsir's Integral Motion, and the lack of public awareness and interest in reading the history of Mohammad Natsir's Integral Motion.

  • 2. Against Christianisation
    2. Against Christianisation Like a snowball, the discourse on Christianisation versus religious freedom discussed in the previous chapter continued to build up in the following decades, and the state became more closely involved. In 1967 Muslims in Meulaboh argued that they could not tolerate a newly built Methodist church because the majority of people living there were Mus- lims; then in 1969, the Government issued a decree in which this religious regionalism was accommodated. Lukman Harun’s Parliamentary Questions in 1967 demanded that the Government control foreign aid for religious institutions; and in the same year, during the Inter-religious Consultation, the Muslims argued for the restriction of religious propagation to those out- side the recognised religions. More than a decade later, in 1978, these two Muslim positions were translated into Government decrees. Finally, in 1967 the Muslims in Makassar opposed the General Assembly of the DGI; then in the early 1970s, the Islamic groups opposed the General Assembly of the World Council of Churches (WCC) that was to be held in Jakarta in 1975. In their reactions to these cases, as in 1967, the Christians consistently argued for religious freedom. Besides these continuing problems, a rather different issue emerged in 1981: the Indonesian Council of Ulama (MUI) produced a fatwa prohibiting Muslims from attending common Christmas celebrations. This fatwa eventually resulted in tensions between the Government, the MUI and the Christians. In this chapter, I shall discuss these cases in some detail. 1. The Restriction on Establishing New Places of Worship In September 1968, the Catholic magazine, Peraba, reported that a Protestant church in Asahan, North Sumatra, and a storage room of a Catho- lic school in Samarinda, East Kalimantan, were burned, probably by Mus- lims.

  • Penyelesaian Konflik Dalam Organisasi Masyumi Menanggapi Perjanjian Roem-Royen Tahun 1949
    Penyelesaian Konflik dalam Organisasi Masyumi Menanggapi Perjanjian Roem-Royen Tahun 1949 PENYELESAIAN KONFLIK DALAM ORGANISASI MASYUMI MENANGGAPI PERJANJIAN ROEM-ROYEN TAHUN 1949 Tommy Juliantara STID Al-Hadid, Surabaya [email protected] Abstrak: Konflik dalam suatu organisasi selalu ada dan tidak dapat dihindari. Konflik bisa mengarah pada perilaku menyimpang dari aturan, prosedur kerja, dan mengganggu pencapaian sasaran organisasi bila diabaikan begitu saja. Sehingga, perlu adanya pengelolaan atau penyelesaian secara baik, agar organisasi tetap produktif mencapai sasaran-sasarannya meskipun dilanda konflik. Salah satu penyelesaian konflik yang dapat dijadikan pelajaran, ada pada organisasi Masyumi. Organisasi berbentuk partai politik Islam pertama dan terbesar di masanya ini, pernah mengalami konflik dan melakukan penyelesaian konfliknya dengan baik. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan penyelesaian konflik yang dilakukan oleh organisasi Masyumi menanggapi perjanjian Roem-Royen. Pendekatan yang digunakan studi ini adalah pendekatan manajemen konflik, spesifiknya yang membahas mengenai penyelesaian konflik. Metode studi ini adalah kualitatif dan studi pustaka. Hasil studi ini menunjukkan bahwa setelah perjanjian Roem-Royen menghasilkan kesepakatan antara pihak Indonesia dan Belanda, terjadilah konflik di internal Masyumi yang bersumber dari perbedaan persepsi antara dua pihak. Konflik ini berjenis konflik antar kelompok, penyelesaiannya dilakukan oleh para pimpinan Masyumi secara integratif melalui metode akomodasi dan kompromi, serta kedua pihak pada akhirnya menerima hasil dari perjanjian Roem-Royen. Kata Kunci: Sumber Konflik, Jenis Konflik, Penyelesaian Konflik, Hasil Konflik, Perjanjian Roem-Royen. Conflict Resolution in Organization of Masyumi Regarding to The Roem- Van Roijen Agreement In 1949. Abstract: A conflict in an organization always exists and cannot be avoided. It can lead to behavior deviating from rules, work procedure and disrupt the achievement of an organization if it is ignored.

  • 531 ABSTRACT NII (The Indonesian Islamic State) Called DI (Dar Al-Islam)
    Gerakan Nii KW IX GERAKAN NII KARTOSOEWIRJO (KW IX) Asep Zaenal Ausop ABSTRACT NII (The Indonesian Islamic State) called DI (Dar al-Islam) is an Islamic movement organization (Harakah Islámiyyah) is led by Maridjan Sekarmadji Kartosoewirjo (MSK), a prominent of Masyumi from West Java. This organization has its own soldiers called TII or The Islamic Indonesian Soldiers. They proclaimed "The Indonesian Islamic State ± The Blessing State of Allah (NKA- NII) on August 7th 1949. DI / TII had been destroyed by TNI (The National Military) with the various ways. MSK has been caught on June 4th 1962 and executed on September 5th in the same year. Most of Indonesian people believe that NII was dead. But in 1999, Indonesian people were surprised by encouragence of the new NII identified as NII Commandemant Area IX or called NII KW IX, by the Highest Commander named Abu Toto Abdussalam. This research proved that, after the death of MSK, NII had been separated into many factions including the faction of Abu Toto Abdussalam. Refering to David Krech and Zanden's theory about the factors which influence conflict of human groups, is that one of causes of separation, is the different norms and values of the beliefs. This cause also happened in NII. However, as de facto and de jure, NII KW IX was the development of NII MSK. Although the two organizations ( NII) have the same objective to establish the Indonesian Islamic State, they have many differences in doctrines and movement strategies. keywords : NII, KW IX, Bai‘ah, Al-Kahfi. 1.

    5 The ‘War of the Roses’ The Islamic state and the Pancasila Republic (1949-1962) [The government] should not consider [the Darul Islam] an enemy, rather like a father his son. Regardless of how naughty the son, if taught a lesson he should not be beaten to death, rather given a lecture, or dealt just one blow, drenched in affection. It is similar with a domestic rebellious movement.1 Disillusioned by the Republic’s acquiescence to Dutch demands, under pressure by the TNI’s operations in West Java and let down by Masyumi’s inability to make political Islam relevant in parlia- mentary politics, on 7 August 1949 Kartosuwiryo and the dewan imamah had officially proclaimed the establishment of the Negara Islam Indonesia. As shown in the previous chapter, Masyumi’s political leadership and some elements of the TNI reached out to Kartosuwiryo’s NII in the following months to find a political solution to what had become known as the ‘Darul Islam problem’ (soal Darul Islam). This chapter follows the relationship between the Islamic state and the Indone- sian Republic in the aftermath of the surrender of Dutch sovereignty, focusing in particular on how the transformation from the federal RIS to a unitary state affected NII’s attitude and activities. Diplomacy had dictated the rhythm of Indonesian politics for years, with treaties followed by ceasefires followed by their infringe- ment. Some provinces in the archipelago were slowly warming up to the idea of a federal Republic under the patronage of the House of Orange, but the population of West Java – regardless of its alle- giance to the Islamic state – remained unimpressed by the Roem- Van Royen agreement, which, far from confirming the country’s independence, had established the Negara Pasoendan as an instru- ment of The Hague.

  • History, Memory, and the "1965 Incident" in Indonesia
    HISTORY, MEMORY, AND THE “1965 INCIDENT” IN INDONESIA Mary S. Zurbuchen With the events of 1998 that climaxed in the stunning moment of President Suharto’s resignation, Indonesia embarked on a transi- tion from a tenacious authoritarianism. These changes have prompted re- examination of assumptions and tenets that have shaped the state, its laws and institutions, and the experience of being a citizen. They have also spurred calls for justice and retribution for persistent patterns of violence. Suharto’s New Order is the only government that most Indonesians alive today have ever known, and its passing has sparked notable interest in reviewing and assessing earlier chapters in the national story. This retrospective moment has not been systematic, and there are indications that it may not be sustained under the administration of President Megawati Sukarnoputri. 1 Nonetheless, public discourse continues to spotlight key actors and events from the past, including some that have long been hidden, suppressed, or unmentionable. Among these topics, the killings of 1965–66 are a particularly difficult and dark subject. In this essay, I will discuss some of the recent representations of this particular element of the collective past and offer some thoughts on how “1965” figures in contemporary public discourse, in social and private Mary S.

In this paper, the term "Indonesian coup" is used inter- changeably with "The 30 September Movement ," mainly for the sake of variety. It is technically correct to refer to the events in lndonesia as a "coup" in the literal sense of the word, meaning "a sudden, forceful stroke in politics." To the extent that the word has been accepted in common usage to mean "the sudden and forcible overthrow - of the government ," however, it may be misleading.

  • Sukarno and the Nature of Indonesian Political Society
    Sukarno and the Nature of Indonesian Political Society A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE THE names Indonesia and the Republic of Indonesia have been in our political vocabulary for only three decades. When they were first pro- claimed to the world in 1945. there were violently opposed interpretations of what they betokened. The Indonesian nationalists declared that a new state had been born, with a flag, a government, a territory embracing the islands of the former Dutch East Indies, a national identity, and a place in the hearts of 70 million people. They demanded that the Republic of Indonesia be treated as other states and its sovereign equality accepted by the world. At the other extreme, outraged Dutch politicians and officials, who claimed to know 'the Indies' well, dismissed it as 'a puny form of words'; 'a handful of men who called themselves the "Indonesian Republic" '.' They possessed a radio transmitter, but nothing else that suggested statehood. Only Dutch colonial institutions, these conservative voices argued, had united a variety of peoples with their own diverse but traditional political and religious loyalties. Inevitably it was the first of these views which eventually prevailed in the West. Yet this polarity continued to be reflected in most of the scholarly writing about Indonesia. Should Indonesia be approached through its modern political aspirations, or through its rich and varied cultural tradition? American political science discovered Indonesia after the war and tended to take the first of these courses. Dutch orientalists and anthro- pologists. who had for long had the scholarly field almost to themselves, tended to represent the second.

  • Pemikiran Mohammad Natsir Tentang Hubungan Agama Dan Negara Serta Polemiknya Dengan Soekarno
    PEMIKIRAN MOHAMMAD NATSIR TENTANG HUBUNGAN AGAMA DAN NEGARA SERTA POLEMIKNYA DENGAN SOEKARNO Sri Pajriah 1 Dosen Program Studi Pendidikan Sejarah FKIP-Universitas Galuh Ciamis Jl. R. E. Martadinata No. 150 Ciamis, 46274 Jawa Barat ABSTRAK Tulisan ini berjudul “Pemikiran Mohammdad Natsir Tentang Hubungan Agama dan Negara serta Polemiknya dengan Soekarno”. Tulisan ini berawal dari keinginan sebagian umat Islam era sekarang untuk menjadikan Islam sebagai dasar negara mempunyai landasan historis yang cukup panjang sejak awal kemerdekaan tahun 1945. Mohammad Natsir merupakan salah satu tokoh Islam Indonesia yang paling awal menyuarakan secara terbuka bahwa Islam layak untuk dijadikan dasar negara. Adapun tujuan tulisan ini pertama, untuk memaparkan pemikiran Mohammad Natsir tentang hubungan antara agama (Islam) dan negara serta bagaimana ia menyanggah argumentasi pemikiran Soekarno yang menganut paham pemisahan agama dan negara. Kedua, latar belakang kehidupan Mohammad Natsir serta setting sosial politik yang mempengaruhi pola pikir Mohammad Natsir mengenai hubungan agama dan negara. Metode yang digunakan dalam tulisan ini adalah metode sejarah. Metode ini mencakup empat tahapan kegiatan, yaitu heuristik (pencarian dan pengumpulan sumber tertulis), kritik sumber, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Hasil tulisan ini menunjukkan bahwa Mohammad Natsir menganut paham kesatuan agama dan negara yang merupakan lawan dari sekularisasi. Dalam melaksanakan hukum Islam perintahnya cukup jelas baik dalam Al-Qur`an maupun hadis. Negara bagi Natsir bukan tujuan, tetapi sebatas alat untuk melaksanakan hukum Islam yang merupakan keharusan bagi setiap penganut Islam sebagai konsekwensi dari keimanannya dan syahadatnya. Kata Kunci: Pemikiran Moh. Natsir, agama dan negara, dan polemik ABSTRACT This paper is entitled "Mohammdad Natsir's Thought About Religion and State Relationship With His Polemic with Soekarno".
