“…To achieve this end, that is, to establish an Islamic state, recent development shows that some Muslim radicals in Indonesia have fought through cultural movements, whereas others have fought violently through religious persecutions and even acts of terrorism (Jones, 2013). Besides non-Muslim minorities (Beech & Suhartono, 2021), Muslims themselves often become victims of the violent actions by Muslim radicals in Indonesia (Mashuri et al, 2017). Intragroup violence denoting acts of persecutions or terrorism by Muslim radicals that victimise other Muslims is hence of high relevance to the Indonesian context.…”

This study proposed victimisation-by-ingroup consciousness as a novel concept, which denotes that intragroup violence or wrongdoings by some group members victimise other members of the same group and may elicit sense of physical, material, cultural and psychological sufferings among the victim members. Applying this concept to the context of religious radicalism, this study revealed that among a sample of Indonesian Muslims ( N = 810), the perceptions of physical, material and cultural sufferings positively predicted psychological suffering. This sense of psychological suffering turned out to motivate participants to perceive intragroup violence as illegitimate. This perceived illegitimacy of intragroup violence ultimately facilitated participants to report less emotional, attitudinal and intentional radical tendencies to support terrorists. Finally, we found as expected that Islamic blind patriotism negatively predicted, but constructive Islamic patriotism positively predicted participants’ victimisation-by-ingroup consciousness. These empirical findings broadly suggest that accepting the deficiency of the ingroup may be beneficial for tackling Muslims’ radical tendencies, but this prospect depends on modes of Muslims’ emotional attachment to their own group. We close by discussing the theoretical and practical implications of those empirical findings, as well as limitations and practical implications of this study.

“…As well as being examples of boundary-work, these arguments reveal details of religious knowledge-production among European Muslims and of the implicit ideas they have about gender, sexuality and marriage more broadly. Second, by working within a social psychological framework, I hope to contribute to the use of psychological and social psychological approaches in the study of Sunni-Shiʿa relations specifically and in Islamic Studies more generally (see also Ameli and Molaei, 2012;Mashuri et al, 2017). Third, I propose that rhetorical boundary-work can be linked with social identity theory through the concept of meta-contrast.…”

Identity construction involves drawing a rhetorical boundary between one’s own group and others. Using data gathered from a Finnish online forum for Muslims, I study how the practice of temporary (mutʿa) marriage is used to mark a boundary between Sunni and Shiʿa Muslims. Here, I examine the rhetorical devices used by Sunni and Shiʿa Muslims, combining the principle of meta-contrast with the concept of boundary-markers to propose a general model of intergroup boundary dynamics.
