“…Terrorism and radicalism often start with a misunderstanding in understanding religious texts, so anticipatory approaches are to justify their understanding of religious texts. Deradicalization approaches as a soft power approach have proven to be effective in Negeria in tackling the terrorist group Boko Haram (Ehiane, 2019;Tella, 2018). The hard power approach with military operations against the Boko Haram terrorist movement is seen as ineffective (Ugwueze & Onuoha, 2020).…”

The government continues to carry out various de-radicalization efforts in responding to the phenomenon of terrorism and acts of religious-based extremism that have occurred in Indonesia in the last two decades. One of the deradicalization efforts is carried out through the application of the anti-terrorism law, although many parties are still debating the effectiveness of its enforcement. On the other hand, efforts to deradicalize the government through Islamic educational institutions need to be continued because this aspect is considered the most likely to moderate the understanding of the younger generation of Muslims. This study uses a qualitative approach, with a case study method that examines the views of religious leaders (lecturers and activist of Islamic religious organizations) on the role of Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia in the process of deradicalization and counter-terrorism. Clearly, this study reveals the need for the involvement of Islamic educational institutions in encouraging religious deradicalization programs, particularly on several aspects such as character building, moderate meaning of Islamic doctrine, understanding of the diversity of Islamic history and Fiqh, creation of comparative thought narratives, and taking appropriate action initiatives. good. Thus, this research concludes that the government needs to strengthen efforts to deradicalize through Islamic educational institutions and evaluate the effectiveness of implementing anti-terrorism laws.

“…The deradicalization program identified several inherent challenges, such as early warning of the need for comprehensive deradicalization of ex-combatants as significant to prevent high recidivism. For example, the Government of Nigeria adopted a deradicalization approach in arresting and imprisoning Boko Haram, a terrorist group and those who voluntarily disarmed and surrendered to security forces (Ehiane, 2019). In dealing with convicted terrorists in Indonesian prisons, a prison-based deradicalization program has been instituted by the Indonesian authorities.…”

“…The deradicalization program discovered a number of inherent problems, among them the significance of early warning of the necessity for comprehensive deradicalization of former combatants in preventing high recidivism. For instance, the Nigerian government employed a deradicalization technique to apprehend and arrest members of the terrorist group Boko Haram as well as those who voluntarily surrendered to law enforcement and gave up their weapons (Ehiane, 2019;Zaidan, 2017).…”
