A compelling account of the struggle for the soul of Indonesian Islam.
Leading scholars discuss how 'Islam' and 'liberalism' have been entwined historically and politically and how Muslims have thought about this longstanding relationship.
The process of radicalization reaches not only the common people, but also the campus. The campus life is vulnerably infiltrated by radicalism. The vulnerability is seen not only from a psycho-social angle alone, but also in the aspect of the instrument or media that the spread of hatred and violence has been designed with the pattern and lifestyle of the campus. Some of the ways the radicalisms penetrate into the campus life are such as through books, magazines, bulletins, and, the most massive and effective, internet and social media networks. This book talks about radicalism, especially the traces of radicalism in the world of education. Several studies conducted on Indonesian students several years ago found that there was a potential for radicalism among students studying abroad.
While many books have probed the role of Islam in political and social change in Southeast Asia over the past three decades, few have focused on the power of the religious discourse itself in shaping this transformation. Contemporary Islamic Discourse in the Malay–Indonesian World captures the interplay between religion and social thought in comparative case studies from Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Drawing on a critical sociology of knowledge and a profound understanding of historical contexts, the central focus is on Muslim intellectuals who have grappled with the impact of modernity in these societies, between those seeking to reform Islam’s role and those who take a hardline de...
This book brings together international scholars of Islamic philosophy, theology and politics to examine these current major questions: What is the place of pluralism in the Islamic founding texts? How have sacred and prophetic texts been interpreted throughout major Islamic intellectual history by the Sunnis and Shi‘a? How does contemporary Islamic thought treat religious and political diversity in modern nation states and in societies in transition? How is pluralism dealt with in modern major and minor Islamic contexts? How does modern political Islam deal with pluralism in the public sphere? And what are the major internal and external challenges to pluralism in Islamic contexts?

Case studies cover Egypt, Turkey, Indonesia, and Thailand, besides various internal references to other contexts.
Penulis memandang bahwa penilaian tentang warna atau corak pemikiran orang, baik itu dikatagorikan liberal, tradisionalis, konservatif, radikal dan sebagainya, bila hanya disandarkan kepada salah satu atau beberapa pemikiran, bukan pemikiran secara utuh orang yang bersangkutan terkesan tidak adil dan objektif, sehingga sulit dipertanggung jawabkan secara ilmiah dan akademis. Karena menurut hamat penulis bahwa setiap pemikiran yang lahir dan tercetus dari diri seseorang itu tidak harus sewarna dalam segala hal atau permasalahan yang disikapi dan dipikirkannya, karena boleh jadi dalam satu hal seseorang berwarna liberal tetapi dalam hal lain bercorak tradisionalis, sehingga tidak bisa juga kem...
