“…This kind of threat among some Muslims presumably emanates from their perception that Islamic ways of life are incompatible with Western ways of life. This group incompatibility contributes to the Muslims' perception that Western ways of life in the form of the current globalization dominates Islamic ways of life (Nurullah, 2008;Stone, 2006;Waters, 2001). In the lens of these arguments, we subsequently predicted that competitive victimhood would mediate the effect of Moslems' perceived group incompatibility on belief in the theory that Western people have conspired to create terrorism in Indonesia (Hypothesis 3).…”

“…The reason is that Western identity and ways of life in this era of globalization dominate Islamic Muslims' identity and ways of life (Nurullah, 2008;Stone, 2006;Waters, 2001). Therefore, we argue that through this perceived loss of agency, Muslims' see their ways of life as incompatible with Western ways of life which then can provoke competitive victimhood.…”

We believe in your conspiracy if we distrust you: the role of intergroup distrust in structuring the effect of Islamic identication, competitive victimhood, and group incompatibility on belief in a conspiracy This study examined how distrust towards an out-group believed to be an actor of a conspiracy theory moderates the role of Islamic identification, group incompatibility and competitive victimhood in explaining belief in said conspiracy. The contextual background we used to verify this idea is the belief in a conspiracy theory among Indonesian Muslims about the involvement of Western countries behind terrorism in Indonesia. More precisely, we found only among Muslim participants with high distrust towards Western people that Islamic identification and group incompatibility positively predicted the perception that Muslims, more than other religious groups, are the victim of the Western people and the belief in a theory that these people have conspired to create terrorism in Indonesia. We also hypothesized and found that competitive victimhood significantly mediated the effects of Islamic identification and group incompatibility on the belief in a conspiracy theory. However, in line with the prediction, these mediation roles of victimhood were obtained only among participants with high distrust. We discussed these findings with reference to theoretical and practical implications.

The pollution of the oceans by plastic waste is a growing threat to marine life, ecosystems, livelihoods of coastal communities and the health of human beings in general. Indonesia is the world’s second largest source of marine plastic pollution. As an island state, plastic litter is regularly flushed into the sea. In this study we explore some behavioural and cultural reasons for the high consumption and pollution by plastic bags on Bali and locally adapted solutions. The data was collected from interviews and surveys with shop owners and customers, religious leaders, students, lecturers and activists during 3 years of research in the region. The analysis is structured in three parts: first, understanding the relevant concepts that inform Balinese perception of the natural environment; second, analysing the popularity and aversions among local Balinese in regard to plastic bags; third, investigating a local initiative working towards a ban of plastic bags. Based on these three parts we identified promising approaches that can effectively support local initiatives and awareness campaigns.
