Issues of violence and radicalism in Indonesia increasingly prevalent. Various acts of anarchism and terrorism seem to be mushrooming in this country that has a lot of diversity. Actions that harm the public and even the religion is not rare background against the understanding of the holy verses of the Koran. The Qur'an is understood as a revelation that legalizes these actions. Then, is it true that the revelation of the Qur'an permits acts of violence that would harm many people? this article attempts to interpret the verses of the Koran that are justified as supporting verses of the above mentioned actions. Through the historical review of the verse (asbab an-nuzul), in fact none of the Qur'anic verses permit violence, terrorism and radicalism. As a revelation coming from the Lord of the universe, indeed the verses of the Koran precisely require creating peace for the whole of nature, not least the nature of Indonesia.Abstrak: Isu-isu kekerasan dan radikalisme di Indonesia kian hari kian marak. Berbagai tindakan anarkhis dan teroris seakan menjamur di negeri yang memiliki banyak keragaman ini. Tindakan-tindakan yang merugikan publik dan bahkan agama tersebut tidak jarang dilatar belakangi terhadap pemahaman ayatayat suci al-Quran. Al-Quran dipahami sebagai wahyu yang melegalkan aksi-aksi tersebut. Lalu, benarkah sesungguhnya wahyu al-Quran membolehkan aksi kekerasan yang justru merugikan banyak orang tersebut? tulisan ini mencoba mereinterpretasikan ayat-ayat al-Quran yang dijustifikasi sebagai ayat-ayat pendukung tindakan-tindakan tersebut di atas. Melalui tinjauan historisitas ayat (asbab an-nuzul), sesungguhnya tidak ada satu pun ayat al-Quran yang mengizinkan kekerasan, terorisme dan radikalisme. Sebagai wahyu yang datang dari Tuhan semesta alam, sungguh ayat-ayat al-Quran justru mengharuskan menciptakan perdamaian bagi seluruh alam, tidak terkecuali alam Indonesia.

This paper discusses the urgency of reconstructing idea on the formalization of Islamic sharia and the future of Indonesia. Formalization of Islamic law which is proposed by Islamic fundamentalist group as the solution of the various problems faced by the people living in the nation-state context needed should be contextualized with the reality of Indonesia as the plural country. By using critical analysis approach on the various argument of the fundamentalist group, which then contextualize with the reality of diversity in Indonesia, revealed that formalization of Islamic sharia is not a solution. Khilafah system will not be able to be forced to be implemented in Indonesia. Interpretation of the text about politics and government must be taken serious attention to be reviewed. In the history of the implementation of Islamic government and Islamic ideology as implemented by the Prophet Muhammad PbUH in Arab is really different with the Indonesian background which is plural.

Diversity is a fact that is often denied by some who do not want to be responsible, so often assume others who disagree and not the same as himself as the culprit of mistakes, and he is the most correct among others. They forget the history of the plurality of the country. This has actually hurt the already grounded culture in the archipelago that this nation was born into a culture of diversity. Unfortunately, the person who is reluctant to take responsibility often makes the verses of the Quran justify his behavior. Consequently, the moral spiritual of Qur'an is often politicized for the benefit of the individual, or even his group by putting aside the cultural heritage mentioned above. Yet the essence of holy revelation [al-Quran] always tells us to uphold the truth in diversity culture. The culture of multiculturalism is indeed embodied and legalized in the spiritual of Qur'an. This is in accordance with the mission of the Koran itself as a revelation that saalih likulli time wa al-meal that has long confirmed the legality of difference and diversity.
