Deradikalisasi Pemahaman Keagamaan di Indonesia (Mempertimbangkan Wacana Islam Moderat dan Islam Nusantara)

Abstract

Islam normatively teaches harmony and peace, in reality, religious understanding is not always synonymous with coherence. So far, there have been various radical religious understandings that have worsened the image of Islam.  Furthermore, several discourses on Islamic understanding emerged as an effort to reduce radical Islamic understanding. This article seeks to discuss the de-radicalization of religious understanding in Indonesia that is offered through the discourse of moderate Islam and Nusantara Islam. To elaborate on these two discourses, this article conducts a literature review using the discourse analysis method.  In conclusion, Moderate Islam is understood as an intermediate Islamic understanding that lies between two extremes, fundamentalism and liberalism. Meanwhile, Islam Nusantara is an interpretation of the understanding of Islam based on Indonesian culture and locality, such as being tolerant, polite, friendly in a diverse frame. These two discourses are theoretically quite important as an effort to radicalize religious understanding, but at the practical level these two discourses are difficult to accept among socio-religious groups that are vulnerable to radicalism
