“…Since then, Indonesia has amended its anti-terrorism laws, leading to the arrest of militant suspects (Goh, 2008). Indonesia has also developed "deradicalization" programs, where Muslim scholars and instructors are sent to conflict zones to counter radical ideologies (Muhammad & Hiariej, 2021). The government has recruited rehabilitated radicals to cooperate with law enforcement and encouraged hardline groups to distance themselves from violence.…”

To address this pressing issue, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has taken a proactive approach by establishing the ASEAN Counter Terrorism and Peacekeeping Task Force. This research aims to explore the formation of this task force, with a specific focus on Indonesia's key role in cooperation with the United States, and assess its impact on strengthening regional security. The main objective of this research is to examine the reasons behind the establishment of the ASEAN Counter Terrorism and Peacekeeping Task Force and understand the factors that underlie Indonesia's selection as the leading sector. Using qualitative research methods, this study seeks to gather insights into the motivations, strategies, and goals of this collaborative effort. The research findings will elucidate the importance of the ASEAN Counter Terrorism and Peacekeeping Task Force, where Indonesia plays a crucial role as the leading sector in maintaining regional security stability in ASEAN, collaborating with the United States.

“…Children in kindergarten are not taught to distinguish between Muslims and non-Muslims because it will result in gaps and distances among them. 57 To summarize, tolerance is a critical component of religious deradicalization, since tolerance may serve as a basis for comprehending differences. This tolerant mindset must be instilled in children from an early age.…”

Tackling religious radicalism is a challenge in Indonesia. This study aims to explore the perceptions of Islamic scholars in Yogyakarta regarding the deradicalization of religion and the role of social media in religious deradicalization. This research uses a case study method which is part of qualitative research. Researchers collected data by conducting in-depth interviews via offline or online interviews via the Zoom application. Participants consisted of 16 male and female Islamic scholars coming from various backgrounds of Islamic organizations, such as Muhammadiyah, Nahdlatul Ulama, the Indonesian Islamic Da’wah Institute, Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia, and the Qur’an Tafsir Council. The location of this research is Yogyakarta Special Region. Interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis methods. This study of religious deradicalization found four major themes, namely strengthening awareness of being Indonesian, prioritizing an inclusive approach as a soft approach in fighting radicalism, promoting a deep understanding of Islam, and utilizing social media. This research can contribute to the government, religious leaders, educational institutions, and BNPT (National Counter-Terrorism Agency) where religious deradicalization programs need to be focused on a soft approach, involving the use of social media, targeting blind spot areas such as study programs of medical, engineering, and pharmacy at universities and ensuring mosques uncontrolled by radical groups.

“…The Islamic radicalism movement or Islamic da'wah with violence gives the impression that Islam in Indonesia no longer upholds national values that are polite, friendly, and love peace (Muhammad & Hiariej, 2021). Even though many Islamic leaders in the past had a very strong spirit of nationalism, without forgetting the teachings of Islam as a way of life (Bayani & Serajzadeh, 2021;Schmidt, 2021).…”

The emergence of the National Defense character education curriculum which is always integrated into every subject certainly cannot be separated from various problems. The government's concern for the character of the younger generation, which has indicated mental decline, is the main factor in implementing this curriculum. The sense of nationalism of the younger generation which is increasingly declining is in the main spotlight. The feeling of nationalism which has recently faded has become one of the impacts of the decline in character education for the younger generation to defend the State. The current trend is that the younger generation does not understand the difficulty of seizing independence from the colonialists. One of the essence of human beings as a nation and state is to love their own nation and country, because as a good citizen, they should not have any reason not to love their nation. The Indonesian people have local wisdom and rich distinctive values so that they can be used to live as a nation and state. The method used in this research is to use research and development methods. The purpose of this research is to raise the attitude of defending the country by filling it through positive activities which are almost faded and lost among teenagers.
