Islam in Post-Reformasi Indonesia: The End of Tolerance? Re-Negotiating the Relations between State, Religion, and Society
Aim of the conference
The conference aims to bring together scholars from different disciplines as well as people from civil society, media and government. We hope to get a better insight into current developments in Indonesia since the re-negotiation of the relation between Islam, pluralism and democracy. This is also an important point of reference for ongoing discussion in other Muslim societies.
Often taken as a role-model for a successful synthesis of Islam and pluralism in the past, Indonesia’s image of a tolerant country has been tarnished in recent years. Religious minorities like Ahmadis and Shiites, human rights activists and people of non-binary gender identity became Targets of fundamentalist groups.
The state often failed to ensure the rights and safety of the threatened. Rather, politics and the state became also influenced by a new conservativism, most often by applying religion as political capital. Inthe course of the trial against the former Christian governor of Jakarta and huge demonstrations carried out by Islamist groups, the national motto of "Unity in Diversity" (Bhinekka Tunggal Ika) has again become a subject of debates.
