Kaptein Islam, Politics and Change lucis series ‘debates on islam and society’ Leiden University Press At present important debates about Islam and society take place both in the West and in the Muslim world itself. Academics have considerable expertise on many of the key issues in these debates, which they would like to make available to a larger audience. In its turn, current scholarly research on Islam and Muslim societies is to a certain extent influenced by debates in society. Leiden University has a long tradition in the study of Islam and Muslim societies, past and present, both from a philological and historical perspective and from a social science approach. Its scholars work in an international context, maintaining close ties with colleagues worldwide.

Introduction Kees van Dijk and Nico J.G. Kaptein Islam in Indonesia has long been praised for its tolerance, at home and abroad, by the general public and in academic circles, and by politicians and heads of state. Among the aspects highlighted are the incorporation of rituals and beliefs that, strictly speaking, do not conform to Islam, and the willingness of Indonesian Muslims to accept in their midst Christians, other non-Muslims, and fellow Muslims who are considered heretics by mainstream Islam. However, this image of tolerance has been challenged in the last ten to 15 years by armed confrontations, if not civil wars, in the Moluccas, Lombok, Poso on Celebes, and Banjarmasin on Borneo, in which religion was one of the motivating factors; by mob violence perpetrated by local Muslims and Islamic vigilante groups of which the fpi (Front Pembela Islam, Front of the Defenders of Islam) is the best known; and by the emergence of terrorist organisations. Initially, terrorism in Indonesia was the work of Jemaah Islamiyah (Islamic Community), a group made up of Indonesians and Malaysians who had close links with al-Qaeda and Islamic insurgents in the Philippines; inspired, if not headed, by one of Indonesia’s most radical clerics, Abu Bakar Baʾasyir, Jemaah Islamiyah was responsible for bombing outrages on Bali (12 October 2002) and other terrorist attacks in the early years of this century. Most of its former leaders and members have now been killed, jailed or executed. Recent reports suggest that Jemaah Islamiyah has been replaced by a number of smaller terrorist groups, less capable of building large bombs like the ones used in Bali, but also, in the absence of one mother organisation, more difficult for the authorities to detect and round up. The ugly side of Islamic radicalism has also come to the fore in the, at times, violent protests by local Muslims against the presence of Christian churches and ordinary houses where congregations meet, and, to a lesser extent, against Chinese temples, often leading to such places being closed down or regular services being discontinued.

  • Gus Dur, As the President Is Usually Called
    Indonesia Briefing Jakarta/Brussels, 21 February 2001 INDONESIA'S PRESIDENTIAL CRISIS The Abdurrahman Wahid presidency was dealt a devastating blow by the Indonesian parliament (DPR) on 1 February 2001 when it voted 393 to 4 to begin proceedings that could end with the impeachment of the president.1 This followed the walk-out of 48 members of Abdurrahman's own National Awakening Party (PKB). Under Indonesia's presidential system, a parliamentary 'no-confidence' motion cannot bring down the government but the recent vote has begun a drawn-out process that could lead to the convening of a Special Session of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) - the body that has the constitutional authority both to elect the president and withdraw the presidential mandate. The most fundamental source of the president's political vulnerability arises from the fact that his party, PKB, won only 13 per cent of the votes in the 1999 national election and holds only 51 seats in the 500-member DPR and 58 in the 695-member MPR. The PKB is based on the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), a traditionalist Muslim organisation that had previously been led by Gus Dur, as the president is usually called. Although the NU's membership is estimated at more than 30 million, the PKB's support is drawn mainly from the rural parts of Java, especially East Java, where it was the leading party in the general election. Gus Dur's election as president occurred in somewhat fortuitous circumstances. The front-runner in the presidential race was Megawati Soekarnoputri, whose secular- nationalist Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) won 34 per cent of the votes in the general election.

  • Staggering Political Career of Jokowi's Running Mate Cleric Ma'ruf Amin
    Staggering Political Career of Jokowi’s Running Mate Cleric Ma’ruf Amin [Antonius Herujiyanto AH0908_090818] Wondering about Jokowi’s decision to choose cleric Ma’ruf Amin as his running mate in the coming Presidential race, many people start to be curious, questioning who the cleric is. Not only is the 75-year-old cleric [he was born on 11 March 1943 in Tangerang, Banten province, Java] the general chairman of the Indonesian Ulema Council [MUI], but he is also the spiritual adviser or Rais Amm to NU [the largest Islamic community organization in the country]. Jokowi seems to expect the cleric to protect him against the criticism that he lacks sufficient Islamic credentials. Having chosen cleric Ma’ruf as his running mate, Jokowi must have thought that he would attract and provide Indonesian voters with his nationalism and cleric Ma’ruf Amin’s Islamism. [It is beside the many “radical” actions conducted by the cleric such as, among others, playing his influential adversary, backing the 2016 massive street protests by conservative Muslims and fuelling a campaign that led to Jokowi’s ally and successor as Jakarta’s governor, Ahok, to be jailed for blaspheming Islam; having pushed behind the scenes for restrictions on homosexuals and minority religious sects while seeking a greater role for Islam in politics.] The cleric was graduated from Tebuireng pesantren [Islamic boarding school] in Jombang, East Java. He earned his bachelor's degree in Islamic philosophy from Ibnu Khaldun University, Bogor, West Java. He was elected as a member of the House of Representatives [DPR], representing the (conservative Islamic) United Development Party or PPP and served as leader of the PPP caucus from 1977 to 1982.

Johnson June 2006 This thesis entitled ISLAMIC STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS AND DEMOCRATIC DEVELOPMENT IN INDONESIA: THREE CASE STUDIES by TROY A. JOHNSON has been approved for the Center of International Studies Elizabeth F. Collins Associate Professor of Classics and World Religions Drew McDaniel Interim Dean, Center for International Studies Abstract JOHNSON, TROY A., M.A., June 2006, International Development Studies ISLAMIC STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS AND DEMOCRATIC DEVELOPMENT IN INDONESIA: THREE CASE STUDIES (83 pp.) Director of Thesis: Elizabeth F. Collins This thesis describes how and to what extent three Islamic student organizations – Muhammadiyah youth groups, Kesatuan Aksi Mahasiswa Muslim Indonesia (KAMMI), and remaja masjid – are developing habits of democracy amongst Indonesia's Muslim youth. It traces Indonesia's history of student activism and the democratic movement of 1998 against the background of youth violence and Islamic radicalism. The paper describes how these organizations have developed democratic habits and values in Muslim youth and the programs that they carry out towards democratic socialization in a nation that still has little understanding of how democratic government works. The thesis uses a theoretical framework for evaluating democratic education developed by Freireian scholar Ira Shor. Finally, it argues that Islamic student organizations are making strides in their efforts to promote inclusive habits of democracy amongst Indonesia's youth. Approved: Elizabeth F. Collins Associate Professor or Classics and World Religions Acknowledgments I would like to thank my friends in Indonesia for all of their openness, guidance, and support.

  • Perkembangan Dan Prospek Partai Politik Lokal Di Propinsi Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Diponegoro University Institutional Repository PERKEMBANGAN DAN PROSPEK PARTAI POLITIK LOKAL DI PROPINSI NANGGROE ACEH DARUSSALAM Usulan Penelitian Untuk Tesis Diajukan sebagai salah satu syarat Untuk meraih gelar Magister Ilmu Politik pada Program Pascasarjana Universitas Diponegoro Disusun oleh : MUHAMMAD JAFAR. AW D 4B 006 070 PROGRAM STUDI MAGISTER ILMU POLITIK PROGRAM PASCASARJANA UNIVERSITAS DIPONEGORO 2009 ABSTRACTION The Development and Prospect of Local Political Party in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam As a consequence of the agreement between the Acehnese Freedom Movement (GAM) and Indonesian government, Aceh Province had a very special autonomy which made this province the only one which was allowed to establish a local political party. This special treatment was actually a privilege for this province in order to persuade the GAM to give up their rebellion and come back as the integral part of Indonesian’s Government. Given this background, this thesis tried to examine the development and prospect of this local political party during and after the 2009 election. The main findings of this research were: first of all, there were six local political party which followed as a contestant of the 2009 election: Prosperous and Safety Party (PAAS), The Aceh Sovereignty Party (PDA), The Independent Voice of Acehnese Party (SIRA), Acehnese Party (PRA), Aceh Party (PA) and Aceh United Party (PBA). Second, there were three parties which had strong influence among the six which are PA, PDA and PRA. PA gained its strong influence since it was established by GAM’s exponent, whereas PDA improved its influence to the Islam’s followers in Aceh while PRA was followed by NGO’s activists and academics community.

  • BAB I PENDAHULUAN A. Latar Belakang Masalah Al-Qur'an Ialah
    BAB I PENDAHULUAN A. Latar Belakang Masalah Al-Qur’an ialah kitab suci yang merupakan sumber utama bagi ajaran Islam. Melalui al-Qur’an sebagai sumber utama ajaran Islam, manusia mendapatkan petunjuk tentang semua ajaran-ajaran agama Islam. Melalui al- Qur’an pula manusia memperoleh petunjuk tentang semua perintah-perintah dan larangan-larangan Allah SWT yang diturunkan kepada nabi Muhammad SAW untuk disampaikan kepada seluruh umat manusia. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa kedudukan al-Qur’an sangat penting bagi umat Islam sebagai sumber utama bagi ajaran yang diturunkan oleh Allh SWT. Berdasarkan definisinya, al-Qur’an memiliki arti sebagai kalam Allah SWT yang diturunkan (diwahyukan) kepada Nabi Muhammad SAW melalui perantaraan malaikat Jibril, yang merupakan mukjizat, diriwayatkan secara mutawatir, ditulis dalam sebuah mushaf, dan membacanya adalah sebuah 1 ibadah. Al-Qur’an merupakan mukjizat bagi Nabi Muhammad SAW yang berisi kalam Allah yang penuh dengan pembelajaran berupa hal-hal yang diperintahkan dan dilarang-Nya. Hal-hal yang diperintahkan Allah termaktub seluruhnya dalam al-Qur’an untuk kemudian kewajiban bagi umat Islam 1 Ahmad Syarifuddin, Mendidik Anak Mambaca, Menulis, dan Mencintai Al-Qur’an,( Jakarta: 2004), hal. 16 1 mengerjakan dan mematuhinya seperti, kewajiban bagi umat Islam untuk melaksanakan shalat, zakat, puasa, dan lain-lain. Larangan-larangan dari Allah juga dijelaskan dalam al-Qur’an sebagai rambu-rambu bagi umat Islam dalam bertindak dan berperilaku dalam kehidupannya selama di dunia ini. Larangan- larangan itu misalnya, diharamkannya minum minuman keras, memakan daging babi, melakukan tindak pembunuhan, perjudian dan lain-lain. Al-Qur’an juga sebagai salah satu rahmat yang tak ada taranya bagi alam semesta, karena di dalamnya terkumpul wahyu Ilahi yang menjadi petunjuk, pedoman dan pelajaran bagi siapa yang mempercayai serta mengamalkannya.
