The community development activity (PPM) aims to build an inclusive society, increase tolerance and prevent radicalism in Subdistrict of Tempuran, Regency of Karawang. Achieving this goal, we introduce democratic values based on Western political philosophy and Islam and explore participants' understanding of radicalism. We engage participants to observe local values in the community at the location of the activity and then explore this relevance to Islamic values. The methods of PPM use the Problem Based Learning and Community Based Research (CBR) in the formulation of an idea that suits the needs of the community in solving the problem. The PPM concluded that there is an increase in scores of knowledge before and after training by 21%, which is the most participants understood Islamic democracy as an inherent part of social life.

ISIS and Al-Qaeda are now recruiting women to join terrorism groups. These two large terrorist groups even show the real use of women as suicide bombers in terrorist acts. This is certainly controversial since women have a close relationship with peace. It indicates a shift in traditional feminist thinking saying that women are identical with peace. The involvement of women in terrorism can also be traced in Indonesia. In December 2016, Indonesia was shocked by the arrest of a prospective suicide bomber with her husband. The phenomenon occurred along with female Chechen suicide bombers, Black Widows, who blew themselves up to avenge their husbands’ death. This paper aims to explain the involvement of women in the world of terrorism and any reason taken by women to commit suicide bombings. The result of this research revealed that women were involved in terrorism because of patriarchal culture and personal factors that was based on religion by doctrinization in Indonesia.

“…This point of view is concerned with distinguishing 'good' Muslims (Mamdani 2002: 766) from 'deviants' who use religion for unsavoury political purposes. This is reflected in analyses of Indonesia too -even those imbued with otherwise commendable historical and cultural sensitivity (Fealy 2004;Barton 2004).…”

Indonesian Political Islam: Capitalist Development and the Legacies of the Cold War

This article explores the genesis of Indonesian political Islam and its interactions with the nationalist secular state in the immediate post-colonial era while examining some of the origins of the ‘radical’ stream that has garnered much attention in the current post-authoritarian period. It puts forward the idea that, rather than an outcome of Indonesian democratisation, this stream was in fact the product of authoritarian New Order rule. The article also considers some parallels in the trajectories of political Islam more generally in Indonesia, the Middle East and North Africa, especially as a kind of populist response to the tensions and contradictions of global capitalism. It addresses the city of Surakarta (Solo) as a case study and highlights the importance of Cold War politics in moulding political Islam in Indonesia and elsewhere. The approach emphasises historical and sociological factors shaping political Islam that have tended to be relegated to the background in prevalent security-oriented analyses concerned with issues of terrorism and violence.
