“…The law, which is expected to safeguard and ensure order in society, has metamorphosed into a tool to disrupt the harmony among fellow citizens or society (Crouch, 2012). This is extremely dangerous because the diverse population of Indonesia with varied religious and cultural backgrounds has a significant chance of violating this provision, thus turning the comfort of expressing opinions into something terrifying due to the ambiguous blasphemy law (Lintang et al, 2021).…”

The urgency lies in the ambiguous definition, which allows this article to be interpreted in various ways and potentially forces anyone into the realm of criminal law. This is found in Article 156a, which states that anyone who deliberately expresses sentiments or performs acts essentially hostile, abusive, or blasphemous against a religion practiced in Indonesia shall be punished with imprisonment for a maximum of 5 years in public. The phrase "in public" is the subject of debate and could render the article ambiguous, allowing it to be used to target anyone desired to fulfill the criteria. The purpose of this research is to prevent the continued use of this ambiguous article for personal or group interests, and to stop the criminalization of speakers using this provision.

“…Cases of blasphemy in Indonesia often get public attention. Blasphemy cases in Indonesia are widely discussed, especially after the blasphemy case carried out by the former governor of Jakarta, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, in 2016 (Lintang et al, 2021). Moreover, cases of hate speech-including cases of blasphemy-are increasingly getting public attention nationally and internationally, along with the increasing concern for human rights (Cox, 2020;Hasani & Halili, 2022).…”

This study aimed to analyze the linguistic features that allegedly contained elements of blasphemy in Jenderal Dudung Abdurrachman's (JDA) speech. The analysis was carried out using a forensic linguistic perspective. This research data is in the form of JDA utterances delivered in a broadcast conducted with Deddy Corbuzier (DC). Based on a forensic linguistic analysis of the text of JDA's conversation with DC on Deddy Corbuzier's podcast, it can be concluded that JDA's linguistic evidence does not support blasphemy but a lack of knowledge in religion, especially in matters of faith. Due to the lack of knowledge of religion, JDA interprets religion and personifies God according to his understanding. In JDA's speech, there is also no intention to tarnish religion because the controversial JDA's speech cannot be interpreted partially but can be interpreted with other speeches. If it is related to other utterances, it can be concluded that there is no intention of JDA to tarnish religion. However, there are efforts by JDA to invite audiences to follow JDA's understanding and interpretation of religion.Dugaan kasus penodaan agama di podcast: Analisis linguistik forensikTujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis fitur kebahasaan yang diduga memuat unsur penodaan agama dalam tuturan Jenderal Dudung Abdurrachman (JDA). Analisis dilakukan dengan menggunakan perspektif linguistik forensik. Data penelitian ini berupa tuturan JDA yang disampaikan dalam siniar yang dilakukan bersama Deddy Corbuzier. Berdasarkan analisis linguistik forensik atas teks perbincangan JDA dengan DC di siniar DC, dapat disimpulkan bahwa tuturan JDA bukti-bukti kebahasaan tidak mendukung adanya penodaan agama, melainkan kurangnya pengetahuan dalam beragama, terutama dalam hal akidah. Akibat kurangnya pengetahuan dalam beragama tersebut, JDA menafsirkan agama dan mempersonifikasi Tuhan sesuai dengan pemahamannya. Dalam tuturan JDA juga tidak terdapat niat untuk menodai agama karena tuturan JDA yang kontroversial tersebut tidak dapat dimaknai secara parsial, melainkan dimaknai secara menyeluruh dengan tuturan-tuturan lain. Jika dikaitkan dengan tuturan yang lain, dapat disimpulkan bahwa tidak ada niat JDA untuk menodai agama. Meski demikian, terdapat upaya JDA untuk mengajak audiens agar mengikuti pemahaman dan penafsiran JDA tentang agama.

“…argue that it infringes upon fundamental human rights, including the rights to freedom of thought, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion. (Lintang, Martufi, and Ouwerker 2020) According to data from Komnas HAM, there have been over 200 instances of religious blasphemy in Indonesia since the implementation of the initial statute on the subject. (Lintang, Martufi, and Ouwerker 2020) These instances have sparked concerns that the Blasphemy Law has been implemented and understood in a broad manner, resulting in the criminalization of religious disparities and the infringement of the constitutional entitlement to religious freedom.…”

The objective of this study is to ascertain the comparative analysis of religious blasphemy legislation in Egypt and Indonesia. This study also elucidates the implementation of religious blasphemy legislation in Egypt and Indonesia. This study involves comparative legal research. Comparative research was conducted to gather additional insights on the blasphemy laws in Egypt and Indonesia. This study employs library research methodology to gather both primary and secondary data. The findings of this study indicate that the legislation governing religious blasphemy in Indonesia is law number. 1/ PNPS/1965, but in Egypt it is article 98 of the Egyptian Penal Code. Additionally, this study discovered parallels in the implementation of religious blasphemy legislation in Egypt and Indonesia. The implementation of anti-blasphemy legislation in both nations frequently subjects defendants to a succession of grave human rights infringements perpetrated by both private individuals and government agents
