Melacak Akar Radikalisme Islam di Indonesia
Abstract: Radicalism nowadays
becomes a popular discourse in Indonesia. The fall of Soeharto in 1998 was also
followed by the rise of some groups which enroots their ideology and value with
the ideology of Islamic political movement in Middle East. Many authors even
connect this phenomenon to terrorism. By those points of view, they try to
encounter terrorism by de-radicalizing people and promoting the empowerment of
moderate society. But this point of view is argued by some authors who think
that terrorism differs from radicalism. It is structural problem –poverty,
oppression, political authoritarianism— which implies violence and terror. It
leads us to a question: What cause radicalism? This article attempts to analyze
the historical and political-economic root of Radical Islam group in Indonesia.
By analyzing those problems, we will elaborate the problem of Islamic
radicalism in structural perspective of post-New Order Indonesia.
