“…The involvement of the state and local government in the Sunni-Shia conflict, together with major religious groups such as Nahdatul Ulama, has significantly shaped the context of this intra-faith conflict (and associated collective violence). This response by local government state and major religious group (s) to the conflict and their stance vis-à-vis Shi`as communities seems to have become a model for the political approach to sectarianism and intra-faith conflict relationships in Indonesia (Formichi 2014;Schafer 2015). This appears to reflect Van Dijk's arguments that communal violence in Indonesia, particularly religious clashes, often involve military and social group, including political parties or social organizations that are closely affiliated with religious identities (Islam, for instance) and social class (Dijk 2002).…”

This article explores expressions in how the local Shi'as Muslim women refugees define and interpret their religious identity and gender citizenship in post-authoritarian Indonesia. This article discusses the cases of Shias women from the Sampang Regency, East Java, Indonesia, in the aftermath of the 2012 conflict that made them internally displaced persons (IDPs, Indonesian: pengungsi). This study argues that religious identity and gender citizenship are constructed by these displaced Shias women concerning their belief as to what is considered 'true' in Islam, acquired from the 'Islamic traditions' of their local Islamic teacher (s). Their loyalty to a religious belief does not arise from any independent search for the 'true Islam' but rather from the doctrine of the teachers/spiritual leaders. Enforced loyalty to Shi'as in their everyday communal ritual practices has influenced the formation of these displaced women's religious identity as Shi'ias.

“…Selain itu, perdebatan seputar kebebasan beragama dan undang-undang penistaan agama menyoroti keseimbangan yang rumit antara menjunjung tinggi hak asasi manusia dan menghormati kepekaan agama (Hasani & Halili, 2022). Negosiasi ulang sekularisme melalui diskusi tentang minoritas agama seperti komunitas Ahmadiyah dan Syiah mencerminkan dialog yang sedang berlangsung di Indonesia tentang pluralisme dan toleransi agama (Schäfer, 2015).…”

Evolusi arsitektur keagamaan di Indonesia mencerminkan perjalanan yang panjang dan dinamis, dari masa prasejarah hingga era modern. Pada periode awal, kepercayaan animisme dan politeisme tercermin dalam struktur megalitik, sementara pengaruh Hindu-Buddha terlihat jelas dalam keagungan candi-candi seperti Borobudur dan Prambanan. Kedatangan Islam membawa transformasi besar, memperkenalkan masjid-masjid yang memadukan elemen arsitektur lokal dan prinsip Islam, seperti yang terlihat pada Masjid Agung Demak dan Masjid Menara Kudus. Era kolonial membawa pengaruh arsitektur Eropa yang berbaur dengan tradisi lokal, menghasilkan bentuk-bentuk hibrida yang unik. Di era modern, arsitektur keagamaan di Indonesia terus berkembang dengan mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai keberlanjutan dan efisiensi sambil tetap menghormati warisan budaya dan spiritual yang kaya. Selain itu, Indonesia juga mempromosikan moderasi beragama melalui pendidikan dan kebijakan sosial untuk menjaga kerukunan dalam masyarakat yang multikultural. Bangunan keagamaan di Indonesia berfungsi tidak hanya sebagai tempat ibadah tetapi juga sebagai simbol integrasi budaya dan inovasi modern. Secara keseluruhan, arsitektur keagamaan di Indonesia mencerminkan interaksi harmonis antara pengaruh eksternal dan kekayaan lokal, menjadikannya cerminan dari dinamika sejarah dan budaya yang kaya di Indonesia.

“…This might takes the form of institutional decree, suppression, religious legitimacy, and so on. The ambiguous role of religion in the Indonesian political sphere enables this to happen by conferring those organizations the opportunity to shape their social authority in vying with political institutions (Schäfer, 2015).…”

Citizenship is among the notions mostly contested after the collapse of a long-standing authoritarian regime in 1998. The reform era – after 1998 - radically transformed Indonesia into a democratic country and brought many other issues including minority issues into the forefront. Unlike other countries that draw their citizenship on a clear formula between religious and secular paradigm, Indonesia, due to ambivalence of its religion-state relation, exhibits fuzzy color of citizenship that leaves space for majority domination over the minority. In consequence, the status of Ahmadiyya for instance, as one of an Islamic minority group, is publicly questioned both politically and theologically. Capitalized by two Indonesian prominent scholars, Burhani (2014) and Sudibyo (2019), I conducted approximately one-month field research in Tasikmalaya and found that what has been experienced by Ahmadiyya resembles Homo Sacer in a sense that while recognised legally through constitutional laws, those who violate their rights are immune to legal charges. This leads to nothing but emboldening the latter to persistently minoritise the former in any possible ways.
