Since independence, RSukarno, Indonesia’s rst president, insisted that the role of Islamic education was not only character-building but also nation-building. Islamic religious education is expected to have a stake in building the character of the nation and to participate in actualizing the promises of independence. e objective of Islamic education in Indonesia is not only to create a religious person, but also making a good citizen. e values of piety assume that a person will be a good citizen: tolerant, democratic and respectful of others. However, practically, piety does not guarantee that a person is able to uphold such values of citizenship. Today, religious radicalism which leads to violent behavior and labelling the other as unbeliever (takfīrīyah) is booming in the community. Ironically, the radical ideology inltrates education sector. In Jombang, in March 2015, the Ansor Youth Movement (Gerakan Pemuda Ansor) associated with Nahdlatul Ulama found radical ideology on senior high school worksheets which called for killing people deemed idolatrous; the 625 Studia Islamika, Vol. 23, No. 3, 2016 DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v23i3.4425 626 Document worksheet reads: “only Allah can and should be worshipped, and those who worship anything besides Allah have become idolatrous and should be killed.” As it turned out, this was not only in Jombang; the same materials can be found in Jakarta, Depok and Bandung. In this context, the Center for the Study of Islam and Society (PPIM) UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, in collaboration with the Knowledge Sector Initiative Indonesia, conducted a research project entitled “e Dissemination of Exclusivist Understandings in Islamic Education” in early 2016. is research used case studies in several areas: Jombang, Depok, Jakarta and Bandung. In order to obtain information about the controversy of Islamic education teaching materials containing exclusivist ideas in some schools and some areas, this research worked on a case-by- case basis, visiting the various places with the aim of nding documents and conducting focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with authors, reviewers, principals, Teacher Networks (Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran, MGMP) and officials of the Ministry of Religious Affairs and the Ministry of Education and Culture in locations where controversial teaching materials were quite problematic. is research also used content analysis. is study not only examined cases in every area but also conducted in-depth analysis on the Islamic education textbooks used for elementary schools until senior high school. is study focused on several things: (1) controversial cases surrounding textbooks in each of the areas, (2) the response of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) textbooks to questions of disagreements within Islam, intolerance, and nuances of violence, and (3) policies and politics of the production of IRE textbooks. First, this research sees how Muslim communities, such as NU and Muhammadiyah, respond to the understandings of violence in the textbooks whose violent content is allegedly just copied and pasted from textbooks issued by the Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbud) with no in-depth analysis. en, second, it is necessary to conduct in-depth analysis on how disagreements are presented in IRE textbooks. And, third, how are such IRE textbooks approved and distributed? Departing from the Jombang cases, IRE textbooks are crucial for the continuity of education in Indonesia. It would be very dangerous if religious textbooks were to contain violent contents. Indonesia is a country based on Pancasila, and the 1945 Constitution has always respected the freedom of thought, freedom of belief, and tolerance DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v23i3.4425 Studia Islamika, Vol. 23, No. 3, 2016 Exclusivism and Radicalism in Schools 627 towards differences. us, the national curriculum should respect differences and emphasize unity in diversity. However, the interpretation and implementation at a certain level have usually deviated from this ideal. e national education curriculum was particularly vulnerable to misuse when being translated into teaching materials (textbooks, worksheets, or modules) due to the lack of control by the Ministry of Education and Culture and the Ministry of Religious Affairs. en there is the possibility that this situation has been exploited by an exclusivist group which could have been active in promoting and spreading its religious understanding in schools. Fundamentally, education, curriculum and textbooks are a eld of struggle where different groups vie for inuence, not least Muslim groups in society. Each group affects the orientation and content of education in accordance with their own ideology and interests (Apple, 1990, 2000). In the Indonesian context, Muslims, secularists, Christians,
