Pengalaman Muhammadiyah Membumikan Nilai-nilai Pluralisme
Abstract: This article deals
with the issue of religious pluralism in the view of the leading authorities
within Muhammadiyah. The paper argues that the scholars of the organization
develop a unique view of religious pluralism in line with the vision of the
founding fathers. Apart from some “discursive distortion” that these scholars
might have undergone in the process of developing the discourse, their view
deserves some appreciation for its depth and originality. The paper tries to
show that there is indeed a tension between the cadres of the organization on
the problem at hand. To dwell into this tension, the paper distinguishes
between two major groups within the organization, namely that which accepts the
notion of religious pluralism, and that which rejects it. The former includes
such well-known scholars as Syafii Maarif, Amin Abdullah, Abdul Munir Mulkhan,
and Moeslim Abdurrahman, whereas the latter includes the preachers and
mosque-activists. Apart from these two groups, the paper will also look at the
particular role that the Muhammadiyah’s Youth Movement has played in
discourse-development among the members of the organization. Hence, the areas
that the paper will cover include those that have been well-represented by the
most admitted elements of the organization.
