In the context of the right to religious freedom. Minority groups have not received serious attention from the upper class, this is evident in the many minority rights that must be fought for. Minority groups are often overlooked or underrepresented in the media, most minority groups play less of a role in television programs. Minority groups are often misinterpreted through prejudices held by the majority. The position of the Indonesian mass media as a social institution in relation to society is very important, where the position of the media has a very power that can be considered to make a better living society. The wahabi movement is sometimes also associated with salafist groups referring to salafist clerics (earlier Ulama), Wahabi or Salafi marking the movement of Islamic conservatism. This movement is associated by some circles with various radical movements, considering that its approach is often to fictionalize or silence others, so the term Wahabi as a pejorative form, a term that contains negative meanings. The study aims to find out relations of media and minority groups to the existence of Wahhabism in Indonesia. Library research method is used in this study. From the findings in this article which uses a literature study, the relationship between media and minority groups in the existence of Wahabi, it can be seen that the media has experienced media success in partiality towards minority groups. Wahabi who feel part of a minority group, by building and establishing relationships with the media, succeed in bringing about new changes, through the media, their guidance as a minority group their rights are successfully fulfilled.

“…During this period, the Druze as a small minority was reluctant of taking part in the Palestinian great revolt and opted to maintain neutrality. Yet, persistent attacks by Palestinian insurgents against Druze residents raised the possibility of the latter's transfer to the Druze Mount in Syria ( [10], p. 8). In return for purchasing all Druze land in Palestine, the Zionist movement was ready to purchase land for the Druze residents in the Swaida district and help them in their transfer to Syria.…”

This article seeks to compare the experiences and features of the three post-Islam tiny religious communities in the Middle East: Bahai, Druze and Yazidis. Each one of these communities had encountered an existential threat to its survival or genocide at one point or more throughout its history, and all of them are considered heretic movements by radical Islamist groups. Among these three religions, only the Druze is considered a militaristic community that was always ready to use arms in order to defend itself. In contrast to the Druze and Yazidis, the Bahai community is a proselytizing religion that accepts new believers, while its followers in general live in urban centres and belong to the upper middle class. The article also refers to the international law regarding minority rights and highlights the shortcomings in this set of laws in protecting these minorities.
