MENIMBANG KEMBALI KONSEP DAN GERAKAN FUNDAMENTALISME ISLAM DI INDONESIA
ABSTRACT: Studies on religious
fundamentalism has re-drawn a serious attention from scholars after the
ascalation of a series of religious violence in the name of religion, including
in Indonesia. Several theories of political radicalization have been
formulated. These theories ironically exert serious implication of
stigmatization and over-generalization to Muslims in many parts of the world
who have nothing to do with fundamentalist and radical Islam. This article
attempts to problematize those theories and concepts of Islamic fundamentalism
in Indonesia. This article argues that the definition of Islamic fundamentalism
that many scholars have formulated do not work properly. The Indonesian
discourses show that Islamic fundamentalism is often seen as movements or thoughts
that respond and criticize the ideology of Islamic modernism. A common theory
of Islamic fundamentalism in Indonesia divides Islamic fundamentalism into two
kinds, namely radical fundamentalism such as Front Pembela Islam, and soft
fundamentalism such as Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia and Majelis Mujahidin Indonesia.
However, similarities between these two kinds of movement in terms of their
views on secularization and democracy are ample so that such s definion is
misleading.
