Relasi Kuasa antara Muslim Ortodoks dan Penghayat Kaweruh Kamanungsan di Banyuwangi dalam Perspektif Ideological State Apparatus Louis Althusser
Full text linkThis article attempts to scrutinize the relation between Orthodox Muslim and the followers of Kaweruh Kamanungsan in Sedoyo, Banyuwangi, East Java. These two religious groups that have two different and opposite ideological perspectives, apparently, have influenced cultural and structural agencies in the village. Having utilized Althusser’s Ideological State Apparatus, the elites of these groups are competing each other to introduce their own ideologies into social institutions like religion, education, family, and legal instruments. As a result, village structures are divided into Muslim and Kaweruh Kamanungsan groups. Evidently, Muslim groups who have vertical link into government and horizontal one into society succeeded to eliminate “deviant†local tradition groups. However, Kaweruh Kamanungsan, as one of local tradition in this village, has survived from the proselytizing program and has successfully built a bridge to eliminate the gap between religious and cultural differences in society
Larangan Aktivitas Jemaat Ahmadiyah Indonesia (JAI) di Jawa Timur dalam Perspektif External Protection dan Internal Restriction Will Kymlicka
Full text linkIn order to protect Ahmadiyah in East Java, the executive body of East Java Province has issued a Degree No. 188/94/KPTS/013/2011 regarding the prohibition of the Ahmadi’s activity in east java. However, it becomes controversial. On one hand, it is considered protecting minority’s right, but on the other hand, it also weakens the position of Ahmadiyah toward majority’s group outside Ahmadiyah. One implication of the degree is the loss of the primer rights of the group in worshiping their belief in accordance with their faith. Combining Kymlicka’s external protection and internal restriction, this article attempts to analyze the implication from the government degree. The basic assumption of this article is that the country is incapable to protect the existence of minority group, Ahmadiyah. The finding shows that the Government of East Java cannot protect the principle rights of Ahmadiyah, especially the right to worship based on their religious belief. As a response to this restriction, Ahmadiyah has applied an internal restriction towards their members that protect themselves from the majority. However, this restriction does not have a penalty so it is considered protecting individual rights of Ahmadiyah group

Full text linkThe encounter between Christianity and Dayak culture since its inception has created a controversy. The main problem is the difficult to separate between religion and culture. The customs indeed have a close relationship with the religious structure of the Dayak people. Their live and mind follow the customs, traditions, and the provisions that have been inherited from their ancestors. Apparently, the Gereja Kalimantan Evangelis (GKE)/The Kalimantan Evangelical Church face this problem in dealing with the practice of marriage in the Ngaju Dayak culture.

[Pertemuan antara Kristen dan Dayak budaya sejak awal telah menciptakan kontroversi. Masalah utama adalah sulitnya memisahkan antara agama dan budaya. Kebiasaan memang memiliki hubungan dekat dengan struktur keagamaan masyarakat Dayak. Mereka hidup dan pikiran mengikuti adat istiadat, tradisi, dan ketentuan yang telah diwarisi dari nenek moyang mereka.

Beberapa kelompok menganggap praktik budaya sebagai dosa terhadap ajaran Kristen, sementara yang lain menganggap bahwa hal itu dapat diterima dalam iman Kristen. Artikel ini menemukan bahwa teologi kontekstual memungkinkan GKE mengakomodasi praktik adat Dayak dalam konteks teologi Kristen. Kebiasaan pernikahan orang Dayak Ngaju telah berakar dari tradisi mereka tetapi makna di balik proses mengacu pada nilai-nilai Kriste
Kritik terhadap Relasi Antagonistis Timur-Barat
Full text linkThe seeds of the clash of thought between the East and the West have become a pin point on the valuable literature of the classical west to take a part on such issues. In short, Hegel’s claim on the philosophical history, Darwinism on the evolutional theory and Marxism on the capitalism join in this complex debate. Those three figures play a role in formulating the existence of west civilization with its hegemonic characteristic. The prosperous study on looking another civilization in black-white discourse takes part in growing animosity among civilization. Civilization is a total number of material achievements and thoughts from many generations. Civilization cannot appear from few people for it is a spontaneous design of human being. This article attempts to explore two leading civilizations in the world, Islam and the West. When Islam, which is identical with the East, has tried to observe the West by using Occidentalism as its epistemological approach, polemic and debate become apparent. The tension between the West and the East takes another new volume. This article attempts to elucidate the antagonistic-relationship between the East and the West, the Occidentalism, and epistemological efforts to build the dialogue of civilization

The Violent Verses of the Qur’an in Comparison between the Classical and Modern Interpretations
Full text linkSalah satu tantangan sarjana Muslim ketika berbicara perdamaian dalam Islam adalah terkait ayat-ayat yang terlihat mendukung kekerasan dalam Alquran.

Memahami Bid‘ah dalam Perspektif Majelis Tarjih Alquran (MTA)
Full text linkFalsehood (bid‘ah) becomes an interesting study for Moslem scholars especially on the matters of worship and ritual practices. The committee of tarjîh al-Qur’ân justifies falsehood by referring to H{adith used as the guide and method. The interpretative result toward the h}adith causes different perspective among Moslem scholars. There are three important points that will be elucidated in this article: first what method uses MTA in conceiving h}adith in relation with falsehood, second how MTA perspective of bid‘ah, and third is re-construction the h}adith bid‘ah according to MTA. MTA explains that what is called bid‘ah in prophet’s h}adith is bid‘ah in the matter of religion (worship) that certainly misleading. Yet, the falsehood in relation with worldly matter for MTA must be given a space to branch out as long as it gives positive impact and push people creativity in general meaning. It is suitable with prophet’s h}adith said that “man sanna sunnah h}asanah..... man sanna sunnah sayyiah...â€. In this condition, MTA indirectly admits the variant of the bid‘ah. But the ordinary classification differs with the ulama’s classification either in terms of mutaqadimîn or muta’akhirîn, in general point of view, otherwise the classification is in contrary with the religious matters and worldly matters
The Movement of Islamic Defenders Front and Its Socio Political Influence on Indonesian Society
Full text linkArtikel ini mendiskusikan gerakan Front Pembela Islam (FPI) di Indonesia dengan menyorot pada beberapa poin: 1) faktor dan konteks geopolitik yang mempengaruhi munculnya FPI; 2) ideologi kelompok FPI; dan 3) perkembangan FPI di Indonesia. Dalam perkembangannya, gerakan FPI sering kali menimbulkan kontroversi. Mereka mengklaim dirinya sebagai representasi kaum Muslim yang bertugas untuk memantau sekaligus memerintahkan umat Muslim untuk berbuat baik dan melarang mereka dari berbuat jahat (al-amr bi al-ma’rûf wa al-nahy ‘an al-munkar). Namun dalam praktiknya, mereka menjustifikasi langkah-langkah yang tidak konstitusional (seperti aksi kekerasan) demi menegakkan jargon tersebut. Di sisi lain, FPI tidak hanya keberatan terhadap kebobrokan sosial, tapi juga menentang eksistensi kelompok minoritas seperti Syi’ah dan Ahmadiyah. Dengan model gerakan takfiri, FPI secara konstan beranjak untuk mengembangkan budaya takut dalam masyarakat. Hal ini tentu menjadi tantangan serius bagi masyarakat Indonesia yang mendambakan kedamaian dan harmoni sosial. Pemerintah dalam hal ini perlu mengambil sikap yang tegas untuk melawan tindakan-tindakan intoleran melalui penegakan hukum yang serius, sekaligus menyebarkan pesan-pesan perdamaian. Jika tidak, kekuatan-kekuatan tak beradab itu akan terus berkembang dengan aksi-aksi teror yang meresahkan masyarakat
