MODERASI KHAWARIJ IBADIYAH
ABSTRACT: Generally many
historians depict Kharijite sect with negative image as a group that has an
extreme religious ideas and nonconformist political attitudes. Furthermore
Kharijite sect was regarded as an extremist faction and radical terrorist who
prefers violence against any goverment that has deviated from Islamic doctrine
according to Kharijite perspective. Similar to many religious sects, Kharijite
sect also separated into many factions. This separation is usually caused by
difference views that frequently arouse a dispute and conflict among them. In
addition, they occasionally consider another faction as an unbeliever and
infidel group. Because of this schism, the Kharijite sect became very weak so
that can be destroyed easily. One of the Kharijite factions is Ibadite faction
that is assessed by scholars as the closest faction to Sunnite sect because
the Ibadites have moderate views so that can survive and exist until now
whereas almost Kharijite factions tend to have extreme views and perform
violent actions to achieve their aims. The successful indoctrination and
thorough strategy might cause this moderation attitude.
