“…In the field of Islamic education in Indonesia, the issues pertinent to Islamic radicalism are becoming a hot and important learning material at the level of tertiary education. This case stems from Indonesian political discourses which continuously address Islamic radicalism issues (Suyanto, Sirry, & Sugihartati, 2019;van Bruinessen, 2002). The term Islamic radicalism, albeit having no definite consensus and tending to be concerned with a mere political judgment, is associated with Islamic groups that do not agree with democracy and make efforts to change Indonesia into a caliphate (Hadiz, 2008).…”

“…The Islamic groups as such commonly perceive that Islamic teachings must literally rest upon Qur'an and Sunnah without any interpretation regardless of any condition, and these groups will negatively react to the generally agreed Islamic teachings that pervade amid Indonesian people (Fealy, 2004). Although the existence of Islamic radicalism in Indonesia does not clearly seem to represent violent acts, the so-called pseudoradicalism or Islamic radical ideologies seem to spread vastly amongst Indonesian youth especially in the circle of universities (Suyanto et al, 2019).…”

A wide range of studies have examined the impact of collaborative learning (CL) on critical thinking skills in various learning subjects. However, very few of them are conducted in the field of Islamic education. Thus, the current study aimed at examining the impact of CL on learners' critical thinking skills in addressing Islamic radicalism as well as their critical thinking retention. Subsequently, this study also investigated learners' perspectives on CL. A mixed method approach was applied. 40 learners, 18 male and 22 female learners, from an Islamic education department at a university in Bengkulu, Indonesia, were engaged as the samples of experimentation, and 9 of them were purposively selected to be the participants for the purpose of a qualitative investigation. The quantitative data were analyzed using paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test, and the qualitative data were analyzed using an interactive model of analysis. The findings revealed that CL had a positive and significant impact on learners' critical thinking skills. CL also supported the retention of their critical thinking skills. Subsequently, the learners perceived that CL was contributive to their emotional awareness, learning motivation, cognitive development, and broad-mindedness. Grounded in the current findings, further studies can proceed to construct a theoretical CL model which incorporates components such as critical thinking, learning motivation, cognitive development, and social competence.

“…The final limitation has to do with research participants that are confined to Muslim university students. We selected this convenience sample because, as some surveys reported, there has been growing concern over radicalism among Muslim university students in Indonesia (Suyanto et al, 2019). Investigating religious radicalism among Muslim university students in Indonesia hence is a relevant and timely topic.…”

Islamic moderateness is said to be one of the key factors that contribute to the promotion of peace in Muslim societies. We present an empirical study conducted in Indonesia ( N = 299) that assessed Islamic political moderateness and examined its role in explaining Muslims’ tolerance towards non-Muslims, as well as the first group’s support for making reconciliation with the latter group. We found as hypothesised that Islamic political moderateness was a positive predictor of outgroup tolerance, because of the role it had in positively predicting the sense of national identity as a higher order identity vis-à-vis Islamic identity (i.e. higher order nested identity). Outgroup tolerance positively predicted and, in turn, fully mediated the positive association between Islamic political moderateness and Muslims’ reconciliatory tendencies, including feelings of collective guilt and shame, intergroup trust and perspective-taking, intergroup cooperation, willingness to apologise, as well as support for intergroup empowerment and reparative actions. These findings suggest the benefit of Islamic political moderateness to drive Muslims to appreciate the existence of non-Muslims. We discuss these empirical findings in terms of theoretical implications, research limitations and practical implications.

“…Interestingly, young generation is also involved in radicalism acts such as those that occurred in Hong Kong, where there was a great spike of activism and radicalism among university students (Wong et al, 2019). Them some research results also showed that young generation is involved in a radicalism network namely: the occurrence of the increase of the intensity of the radicalism discourse among youth in Aceh in 2017 (Ilyas et al, 2020); the influence of technology and globalization through the online media and a radical narration which may effectively influence and recruit young generation (Suyanto et al, 2019); active radicalism found among the youth in Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa (Norman, 2019); a lot of youths who are not multicultural anymore in the society and who possess a narrow ideology due to the exposure of radicalism (Widyawati & Albino, 2020).…”

Radicalism is an important issue in Indonesia and it starts penetrating into higher education institutions. Young generation becomes a proper target to spread such radicalism. This present research is aimed at analyzing the radicalism attitude tendency among university students. The instrument employed is the results of the adaptation and modification from the Activism-Radicalism Intention Scale (ARIS) and the University Students’ Attitude Tendency. Then, an analysis of the causing factors and the dynamics of such radicalism attitude is also discussed in this present research. It was found that 44.5% university students tended to have a low radicalism attitude tendency, 5.6% high, and 11.3% very high. Their age ranged from 16-26 years. Interestingly, the low rate of the radicalism attitude tendency is predicted to be higher, if no preventive action is immediately taken. This prediction is that the results of analysis using Bandura’s social cognitive theory namely behavior, environment, and person would greatly contribute to the formation of the radicalism attitude. The contribution of this present research to the literature is made by providing innovative ways to detect the radicalism attitude tendency among university students, the causing factors, and the dynamic of the formation of such attitude.
