NEW PROPHET VERSUS THE STATE: A Study of the Phenomenon of New Religious Streams in Indonesia
Abstract: This paper elaborates a phenomenon of the new Prophet
in Indonesia. The
New prophet of community
is left (separated/heretic) by
Majlis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) because
such community is
considered to perform
heresy in religious mainstream (Islam).
Why does this
grow? What is
simultaneous aspect within social
ills, such as
state failure in
managing plurality in
Indonesia, or is
that connected with religious mission (Dakwah) in this contemporary
phenomenon? This paper
introduces state failure
on dakwah/mission in
Islam, pluralism management, and
destructed national politics and economic growth. In this paper I describe
mass destructive on
sect (heresy) community
by MUI. This
paper presents religious sociological
perspective as religion
is looked as
a social reality, not
as religious dogma
and state preposition.
The New Prophet
is at a diametrical position to the state (new
prophet vis a vis state).
