Unsur-Unsur Sekular Dalam Parti Politik Islam di Indonesia: Kajian Terhadap Partai Amanat Nasional (PAN)
Abstract: Political secularism
is an interesting ideology that deserves thorough academic attention. Set
within the context of Indonesian politics where the Muslim community
constitutes the majority of the population, this article seeks to critically
analyze the secular elements of an Indonesian Islamic political party, namely
the Partai Amanat Nasional (PAN). The party is renown, not only because it was
established as a result of the processes of Reformasi, but also of its
historical and cultural ties with the Muhammadiyah; the second largest Muslim
organization in Indonesia. Employing both a political sociology approach and
the theory of secularization advanced by Donald Eugene Smith, this qualitative
research has identified the secular elements of the PAN. The partyÂ’s
prevailing alignment towards nationalism, at the expense of the fading away of
Islam as both political identity and legitimacy of the party, serves to
strengthen its secular elements.
