Denial, Trivialization and Relegation of Pluralism: The Challenges of Managing Diversity in Multi–religious Malaysia and Indonesia
No full textThis article attempts to discuss the various societal responses to religious diversity and pluralism in Malaysia and Indonesia. Its focus is on the Muslim–majority nations of Indonesia and Malaysia, where the idea of religious pluralism among Muslims has taken various shapes. While the state’s management of pluralism is so far characterized by politics of expediency and accommodation to ensure stability, law and order, and harmony, it is the societal or community responses that matter most. Advancing and nurturing the ideas of religious pluralism in social and religious discourse requires commitment in persistency and planning. This, in turn, calls for the need to know how the ideas of pluralism and religious diversity have been understood in society. The challenge of nurturing a substantive pluralism in society warrants recognition and support. This can be made in the realms of theological discourse, political will, educative approach, as well as institutional supportDOI: 10.15408/sdi.v19i3.355

Jadwal A‘māl al-Aḥzāb al-Islāmīyah fī Indonesia al-Mu‘āṣirah: Bayn al-Sharī‘ah wa al-Dīmūqratīyah
No full textThis article discusses the responses of the proponents of political Islam toward the downfall of New Order regime and in creating political power at grassroots level. This trend has been marked by the demand to include those ‘seven words’ of the Jakarta Chapter of 1945 into the constitution. This aspiration has been represented by three major Islamic parties: United Development Party (PPP); the Crescent Star Party (PBB); and the Justice Party (PK). However, this political Islam aspiration has also been expressed by Muslim–based parties, namely the Nation’s Awakening Party (PKB) and the National Mandate Party (PAN). These two parties represent Indonesia’s largest Muslim organisations, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah respectively. PKB and PAN do not have agendas to implement Islamic sharī‘ah. The two parties consider that, theoretically, a relation between Islam and politics exists but not in the formal sense of a governmental system.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v20i1.351
Transformasi Sistem Pendidikan Islam: Pergulatan Identitas Muslim Melayu-Patani
No full textThe book attempts to explain the dynamics of the Islamic education system in Patani, Thailand, from its beginning up to the time when the Malay world, to which Patani belongs, was modernized.

In the context of education, Islam-including the Islam developed in Malay-Patani areas-has played a significant, even a dominant, role. It is the driving force behind the establishment, the development, and the enforcement of educational institutions. Here pondok, pesantren, meunasah, surau and other traditional institutions of education must be mentioned for-in the Malay-Nusantara context they have been instrumental in the whole intellectual renaissance in the region. Rich Islamic traditions were studied and socialized intensively in those institutions and this, in turn, enabled the local ulamas to produce important works in the field of Islamic studies.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v8i1.69
