DERADIKALISASI PEMAHAMAN AJARAN ISLAM
ABSTRACT: We have nowadays
witnessed a growing trend of the rising of radical religious thoughts amongst
Muslims. They are fanatical people who claim to have correctly understood Islam
more than others. Even they blame others who do not follow their way as
unbelievers. How do such radical views rise? And how can such views be
de-radicalized? Radical views initially
come out and gradually develop because of exclusive religious outlooks. Since
outward attitudes reflect one’s deep mind and worldview, one best way to soften
radicalism should begin from de-radicalization of one’s ideology and way of
thinking. There should be transformation of Islamic religious thoughts from
particularistic to rational-imperative, from exclusive to inclusive, from formalistic
to perennial, from mono-cultural to multicultural. De-radicalization needs
participation from the government, people and academia. Furthermore,
de-radicalization must be a context-based effort, paying great attention to
socio-historical contexts where this effort is formulated to avoid rising
another form of radicalism.
