CURRENT DEBATES IN THE POSTSOEHARTO INDONESIAN ISLAM: Examining the Intellectual Base of Liberal and Anti-liberal Islamic Movement
Get PDFThis article discusses intensively the current debate between those who support and against liberalism within pluralized Indonesian Muslims. The two groups are represented by JIL (Jaringan Islam Liberal) and MD (Media Dakwah). The author compares three fundamental aspects of religious interpretations: epistemological assumptions, methodological framework, and subject-matter. Epistemological assumptions deal with philosophical foundations that are employed by JIL and MD as principles to understand Islam. Methodological framework means the way the two groups understand and interpret Islam and its teaching based on their philosophical foundations. In terms of subject-matter, the author discusses six issues, namely (1) ijtihad; (2) approaches to text; (3) the meaning of truth; (4) the minority and the oppressed; (5) freedom of religion; and (6) mundane and spiritual authority. From the three fundamental aspects of religious interpretations that are compared, the author concludes that JIL is a group of Muslims who understand Islam by implementing liberalism, while MD (DDII) represents a group of Muslim who promote conservatism, purification, and anti-liberalism within Indonesian Islam.</em

Islamic Radicalism in Southeast Asia: With Special Reference to the Alleged Terrorist Organization, Jamā'ah Islāmiyah
Get PDFPemboman WTC 11 September 2001 telah melahirkan sebuah stigma
terhadap Islam, yaitu teroris dan al-Qaeda sebagai tertaduh. Di Asia
Tenggara, kasus bom Bali juga mengidentifikasi adanya jaringan al-Qaeda
yang kemudian dikenal dengan nama Jama'ah Islamiyah. Banyak teori yang
dikemukakan oleh ilmuwan-ilmuwan di berbagai belahan dunia tentang
fenomena radikalisme Islam ini. Di antara teori tersebut mengatakan
bahwa radikalisme agama yang terjadi di berbagai belahan dunia
merupakan resistensi agama terhadap lsu modernisasi dunia. Di Asia
Tenggara, munculnya radikalisme Islam lebib dipicu oleh sikap sikap
permerintah terhadap umat Islam. Walaupun demikian, Jama'ah Islamiyah
tetap merupakan misteri; eksistensinya tidak bisa dibuktikan, namun
fenomenanya ada di mana-mana. Banyak pihak akhirnya mengaitkan
keberadaan Jama'ah Islamiyah dengan keberadaan berbagai pesantren
garis keras di Indonesia. Artikel ini berusaha untuk mengidentifikasi
hubungan antara keberadaan organisasi Jama'ab Islamiyab dengat
kelompok-kelompok teroris yang akhir-akhir ini telah memperburuk citra
Islam
ADVANCING LARGER DEMOCRACY IN INDONESIA THROUGH ISLAMIC PRINT MEDIA
Get PDFOver the past one decade, Indonesia has been renowned for its achievement in consolidating and establishing democracy after having experienced thirty two year political authoritarianism. The power is now step by step leased back to the people. In the least form, people are little by little getting access to the processes of policy-making. Their aspirations, instead of being undermined, are considered to be as gradually important as those of political elites. This paper is an attempt to examine the role of print media in enhancing the democratisation processes through the analysis of the production of Islamic ideas within print media publication. For the purpose of simplification, print media publication can be regarded as part of the essential translation of the press, a pillar of democracy. As a focus of analysis, this paper deals with print publications, in the form of both Islamic books and magazines, produced by Muslim scholars or activists in Indonesia. Islamic books are presented by those produced by publishers, such as Mizan, Gema Insani Press, and Wihdah Press. Islamic magazines are presented by Sabili, Hidayah, and Jihadmagz. [Lebih dari satu dekade terakhir, Indonesia dikenal sebagai negara yang berhasil melakukan konsolidasi demokrasi setelah mengalami tiga puluh dua tahun otoritarianisme Orde Baru. Kekuatan politik secara perlahan dikembalikan ke rakyat. Setidaknya, rakyat sedikit demi sedikit semakin memiliki akses atas pembuatan kebijakan. Aspirasi mereka kemudian diperhitungkan dan dianggap penting seperti aspirasi elit politik. Artikel ini mendiskusikan peran media-cetak dalam proses demokratisasi, yaitu dengan mengalisis produksi gagasan-gagasan tentang Islam yang dimuat dalam media cetak. Secara umum, media cetak merupakan salah satu bentuk pers yang menjadi salah satu pilar demokrasi. Pembahasan dalam artikel ini difokuskan pada buku dan majalah yang diterbitkan oleh ulama atau aktifis di Indonesia. Mizan, Gema Insani Press, dan Wihdah mewakili penerbit buku, sementara Sabili, Hidayah dan Jihadmagz mewakili kelompok majalah.
THE ROOTS, STRATEGIES, AND POPULAR PERCEPTION OF ISLAMIC RADICALISM IN INDONESIA
Get PDFThis paper examines Islamic radicalism particularly in Indonesia in terms of its roots and strategies of action. While focusing on the Jama’ah Islamiyah (JI, lit. “Islamic Community”) as the larger subject of discussion, it takes Ar Rahmah Media Network with its print publication of Jihad Magazine (Jihadmagz) in particular as the case of study. The paper argues that the emergence of Islamic radicalism is mainly triggered by the combination of the ruling regime’s political repression, crucial socio-economic deprivation, globalisation, and Arabia support. Also, it further argues that there is a shift of strategies among activists of radical Muslims in delivering their messages as well as in conducting their radical actions
TRANSMITTING ISLAM THROUGH STORIES: The Sociology of Production and Consumption of Islam in Novel Literature
Get PDFIslamic novel literature has become a new commodity in Indonesia. This paper examines the Islamic creative and cultural industry in recent development in Indonesia, exploring the Islamic publication through its exploitation of storytelling method as a means of production and consumption of Islamic commodities. As an object of analysis, it focuses on Islamic novel Ayat-Ayat Cinta. It particularly argues that Islamic publication has extended its capacity as a medium for transmitting religious ideas to producing and consuming economic commodities. It further argues that storytelling appears to be an effective method for both the transmission of Islamic teaching and the production and consumption of Islamic commodities. It maintains that positive responses from the market are not only in the form of purchasing the product of Islamic novel literature, but also in the form of following up the essence of cases in life exploited in stories developed in such an Islamic novel literature
