I do acknowledge the sad state of how the dominant reading of Islam in Indonesia has become increasingly intolerant towards opposing views and practices. My own academic and ideological position is reflected in your arguments.

One is the fear of political secessionism, most clearly seen in the rigid, doctrinaire approach to separatism in Aceh and now in Papua. Indonesians have made the "harga mati" of territorial integrity into a demi-god. The other one is the fear of religious secessionism, the fear of apostasy.

I treated the article as holding a certain role (public sphere), because I think in the current context, mediation moderates radicalism. I'm fully aware of the dominant view and how marginalising it is towards 'others'. But I decided my personality does not extend to 'fighting fire with fire'Inaya Rakhmanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03970983737636872692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28531491.post-88985749096517458252011-10-03T14:51:25.474+07:002011-10-03T14:51:25.474+07:00As someone who didn't see the film, I should r...As someone who didn't see the film, I should refrain from an opinion on it. But I can say your great article is illuminating. And upbeat and positive in the stride :).<br /><br />I ( of course!) do agree with you that a number of hotheaded individuals and some relatively small groups of vigilantes should not dominate the discourse, like the way they sometimes seem to do - thanks to the media colsonhttp://www.pelopor.nlnoreply@blogger.com
