“…On the other hand, Mohamed Nawab Mohamed Osman`s work on Hizb ut-Tahrir particularly focused in South East Asian countries, Indonesian and Malaysia (Osman, 2009). Muhammad Iqbal Ahnaf (2009) analyzed the changing of HTI revolutionary character to be more moderate using the concept of refolution -combination between revolution and reformation (Ahnaf, 2009).…”

As a global Islamic political group, Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT) has experienced many kinds of state coercive responses due its ideas that considered radical and threatening the existing modern political systems. In many places, this group has been rejected and criminalized by regimes either in Muslim majority states or in the Western states. The same experience has also been faced by HT in Indonesia that went through the change of state policy from accommodating to repressive approach. This study will focus to elaborate the response of the Indonesian government toward HTI from the lens of social movement studies by using state repression concept. This article uses the explanatory method analysis and collects data mainly from literature. This article argues that the state has used several methods to repress HT such as issuing an extraordinary law in dissolving HTI; intimidating HTI`s supporters and activists and stigmatizing or discrediting HTI image. As the result, in 2017 Indonesian government dissolved HTI, then HTI became one of forbidden organizations in Indonesia.

“…FPI and other organizations are making attempts to fight for Islam comprehensively so that Islam becomes the basis of state law, the state's foundation and the political system with an orientation focused on Salafi practices (Zada 2002). FPI encourages the development of Sharia law in Indonesia, and HTI strongly believes that the implementation of Sharia law must be carried out in conjunction with re-establishing the caliphate (Ahnaf 2009, Muhtadi 2009, Munabari 2017. Almost the Islamic organizations in this period supported the implementation of Sharia law in Indonesia that was assumed to solve the financial crisis in Asia that had been ongoing since 1997.…”

The discourse of NKRI (The Unitary State Republic of Indonesia) and caliphate in the Indonesian context

This study’s primary focus is to examine the discourse of the NKRI (Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia) and that of the caliphate that has been developing on social media. It involves essential issues because Indonesia’s state and religion have had a dynamic relationship since the New Order era. The debatable issue related to the state and religion shows that religion is a crucial subject used to maintain the state. As a state, Indonesia emphasizes multicultural values; however, some people or organizations have an intolerance of Indonesia’s plurality promoted on social media. Using Foucault’s theory on discourse, power, and knowledge, this study was conducted by applying big data to Social Network Analysis (SNA) through the netlytic program. Big data is a new method developed to analyze the social phenomena that happen in the digital era. This study examines the assumption that the discourse of the NKRI is not a single discourse in the Indonesian context. It is in addition to the caliphate’s discourse, although the NKRI is still the dominant discourse. The debatable issue within the discourse of the NKRI and the caliphate is related to dynamic religious organizations that are not based on cultural values. They tend to be either puritan (seeking to purify the doctrine) or radical. This situation is also related to the political context where the caliphate’s discourse is developing related to Jakarta’s local election. There is also the issue of the religious defamation conducted by Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok). This situation explains the increase in Islamic political roles that are not affected by the sociological context. The roles are more impacted by political elites who are using religion as a political vehicle.

“…Some of these movements, including Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI, or the Indonesian Party of Liberation), Front Pembela Islam (FPI, or Islamic Defenders Front), Majelis Mujahidin Indonesia (MMI, or the Council of Indonesian Holy Warriors), and Forum Umat Islam (FUI, or the Forum of Islamic Society), remain active today. While much has been written about HTI (Salim, 2005; Arifin, 2005; Rahmat, 2005; Fealy, 2007; Muhtadi, 2009; Ward, 2009; Ahnaf, 2009; Osman, 2010a, 2010b; Munabari, 2010), FPI (Fealy, 2004: 114–115; Hefner, 2005: 284–286; Ng, 2005; Wilson, 2006, 2008; Jahroni, 2008; Rosadi, 2008; Woodward et al, 2014), and MMI (Van Bruinessen, 2002; Fealy, 2004), FUI has so far been insufficiently studied. This is unfortunate because, like the other movements mentioned above, FUI has been actively engaging in various forms of collective action such as mass protests, public gatherings, media statements, and so forth, since it came out in the open in 2005.…”

“…This is attributable to differences in understanding of the concept of sharia between each of these movements, which is anchored in their respective ideologies and socio-religious platform. For instance, while HTI strongly believes that the implementation of sharia must be executed in conjunction with the reestablishment of the caliphate (Muhtadi, 2009; Ahnaf, 2009; Osman, 2010a; Munabari, 2010), FPI disagrees with such a concept and argues that there is no need to establish an Islamic state in Indonesia (Ng, 2005; Jahroni, 2008).…”

This study attempts to examine the ideologies and framing strategies of an active yet insufficiently studied Islamic revivalist movement in Indonesia that seeks to implement sharia (Islamic law) called Forum Umat Islam (FUI, or the Indonesian Forum of Islamic Society). Research in Islamic revivalist movements that emerged after the demise of the authoritarian Suharto regime in 1998 has been largely focused upon movements such as Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI, or the Indonesian Party of Liberation), Forum Pembela Islam (FPI,or Islamic Defenders Front), and Majelis Mujahidin Indonesia (MMI, or the Council of Indonesian Holy Warriors). This is unfortunate because since its emergence in 2005, FUI has been playing an active role in social movement activities such as mass protests, public gatherings, media statements, and so forth. The study analyzes the ideology and framing strategies of FUI as it engages in a contestation of meaning in the country’s contemporary socio-political milieu. Based upon qualitative fieldwork in Indonesia, this study suggests that the manner in which FUI frames its pro- sharia issues is deliberately oriented toward convincing the Indonesian public that its pro- sharia programs and agendas are indeed for the betterment of the Republic of Indonesia—“NKRI” (Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia which is The Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia). This is done through, for example, reinterpreting and redefining Pancasila (Five Principles), which serves as the basic philosophy of the Republic of Indonesia.
