As a country with the largest Muslims population in the world, Indonesia has an overwhelming number of communities with different religions, such as Protestant, Catholic, Buddhist, Hindu, Confucianism and other local religions from ancestors that influence various Indonesian people's beliefs. This situation can raise the tendency of conflicts between the majority groups of certain religions and other minority religions in Indonesia. This paper aims to explore the conditions of ethnic communities in Alor District, East Nusa Tenggara Province, who live harmoniously among different religions such as Muslims and Christians. Alor District has obtained a trophy of 'Harmony Award' 2017 from the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia. This paper uses an ethnophilosophy perspective to find out why Alor custom or 'adat' can establish harmony among the diverse religious communities. Their custom or 'adat' as a relic of Indonesian's ancestors can play a role in avoiding the recent inter-religious conflicts that have recently sprouted in urban areas. Alors custom (adat) is one of the identity traits that had survived from the time of the ancestors of Alor people who had their local religion and before Islam and Christian became the major religions of Alor Society

Religious Problems

Activities to religion are generally carried out by all religious communities in the world without limiting an activity in the process, because it can disrupt the worship process. But in its implementation, especially in Indonesia, the public is less aware of the importance of tolerating religious freedom in order to prevent religious conflicts in the concept of Human Rights. Historically, religious problems are a social problem because they involve the lives of people who cannot be separated from the study of social sciences. Therefore, the religious sciences are essentially parts of Sociology, Psychology and Anthropology. Whereas the issue of religious intolerance in Indonesia is a crucial problem, because these problems can divide the Indonesian people, even though religious problems are a problem that does not need to be exaggerated because in essence every religion teaches good things so that the issue of religious freedom of others is in vain. So from that a country needs to have a law to regulate the existing government system, one of which is to regulate religion in Indonesia. Religion in Indonesia itself has been regulated in chapter XI of Religion in Article 29 paragraph (2) where the State guarantees the independence of each resident to embrace their respective religion and to worship according to that belief. Not only about religious freedom, the context of violations concerning religion in Indonesia has also been regulated in law, but the public still underestimates the law because they themselves are also taboo on the laws that apply in Indonesia. Problems concerning religious intolerance can be prevented through counseling on vulnerable areas that will cause religious commotion, so that the pillars of nationality contained in the Pancasila can still survive and run as they should. This study analyzes the Protection of Religious Freedom in Indonesia in the perspective of Human Rights in Indonesia.  Keywords : Agama, intoleransi, konflik, kebebasan, perlindungan hukum.

Abstract Religious tolerance has always been an interesting topic of study. The relations between religions in various parts of the world make the study has an important position. Many religious leaders try to explain the meaning of tolerance based on the verses of the Koran. The contemporary scholar who gives serious attention to tolerance is Wahbah al-Zuhayli. Methodologically, his interpretation tends to follow the approach of classical Ulema scholars. The problem of tolerance that he explained is based on the current social reality of religious communities. The idea of tolerance offered by al-Zuhayli begins with an explanation of the concept of wasatiyyah al-Islam. Furthermore, the interpretation of al-Zuhayli's tolerance has four main points: First, the union of Islam with the Abrahamic Religion. The existence of several roots of the same teachings in Abrahamic Religion is a way to form a moderate and tolerant attitude. Second, the principle of freedom in choosing a religion. Third, the prohibition of spreading hatred and terror. Fourth, the recommendations prioritizing justice. Al-Zuhayli's interpretation revealed a pattern of harmonious and tolerant relations between religious communities. This is, at the same time, a scientific criticism of the doctrines of violence that are echoed by radical groups. Keywords: Religious tolerance, Wahbah al-Zuhayli, Wasathiyyah al-Islam (Islamic moderations).   Abstrak Tema toleransi agama selalu menjadi topik yang menarik untuk dikaji. Pasangsurut hubungan antar umat beragama di berbagai belahan dunia, tak terkecuali di Indonesia, membuat kajian ini memiliki posisi yang penting dalam studi agama. Banyak agamawan, khususnya para ulama tafsir yang bersaha menjelaskan makna toleransi secara normatif berdasarkan ayat-ayat Al-Qurán. Ulama kontemporer yang memberi perhatian serius tentang toleransi adalah Wahbah al-Zuhayli. Meski secara metolodolgis penafsiran al-Zuhayli cenderung mengikuti pendekatan nas ulama klasik. Namun, problem toleransi yang ia jelaskan berdasarkan realitas sosial umat beragama saat ini. Gagasan toleransi yang ditawarkan oleh al-Zuhayli diawali dengan penjelasannya tentang konsep wasatiyyah al-Islam (moderasi Islam). Selanjutnya, al-Zuhayli mengelompokan empat hal pokok tema toleransi yang dijelaskan al-Qur’an. Pertama, relasi antar Agama Samawi. Adanya beberapa akar ajaran yang sama dalam agama samawi merupakan jalan untuk membentuk sikap moderat dan toleran. Kedua, asas kebebasaan dalam memilih agama. Poin ini menegaskan prinsip Ri’ayah al-Din yang diusung syari’at Islam. Ketiga, larangan menebar kebencian. Dan ke-empat Larangan tindakan teror serta anjuran mengutamakan keadilan. Setiap manusia berhak mendapatkan perlindungan atas kemerdekaan jiwanya. Penafsiran al-Zuhayli mengungkap adanya pola hubungan harmonis dan toleran antar umat beragama. Hal ini sekaligus merupakan kritik ilmiah atas doktrin-doktrin kekerasan yang sering dikumandangkan kelompok radikal. Kata Kunci: Toleransi agama, Wahbah al-Zuhayli, Wasathiyyah al-Islam (moderasi Islam).

With their cultural and historical contents, cities have always attracted tourists, thus contributing to creating a new kind of tourism - city tourism. The potentials of cities have contributed to creating other types of tourism such as fair, cultural, congressional, sports, religious tourism, etc. City breaks have become a contemporary trend and a phenomenon in world tourism, which an increasing number of tourists is becoming more interested in, and these tourists want to spend their short breaks, holidays or weekends in them. Comprehensive and short visits to major cities offer an opportunity to discover their tourist values such as ambience, architecture, culture, art, people, customs, etc. Basically, urban tourism is an activity that takes place in urban areas. City break is the third most important type of tourism in international tourism and the third most important type of vacation and traveling in Europe after ―sun and beach‖ and ―tour‖. In the last three decades, tourism in the world has been witnessing a constant growth of city break. The growth of this type of tourism is associated with the growth of the urban population in the world. City break tourism gives an impetus to the revitalization of urban areas. Historic cores of cities and pedestrian zones are urban spaces that appeal to visitors and are always attractive places visited by most tourists in all seasons. One of the most common activities of city break is seeing the sights of a city, its attractions, museums, galleries and historical landmarks, most often with a special open-type bus with a tour guide.

The history of conflict among religious believers in Indonesia has existed since theexistence of religion itself. This conflict does not only happen between differentreligions, but also between people in the same religion. Indonesia is a multi-religiouscountry. All the major religions of the world grow and flourish in Indonesia. Not tomention the existence of local religions scattered in various regions. Such conditionslead to high levels of possible inter-religious conflicts in the country. This conflict isquite difficult to stop if there is no concept that can mediate. Pancasila as the basicideology and philosophy of the Indonesian state is considered as an ideal mediatorconcept for the people of Indonesia. Pancasila is not only able tomediate thedifferences that exist because of the diversity of religions, but also the diversity interms of race, ethnicity, language and culture. This research uses a qualitativeapproach and literature study method that aims to find out the paradigm ofthoughtand practice of religious organizations that accept and reject Pancasila againstefforts to strengthen nationalism and harmony of religious communities in Indonesiawith Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) .

Therefore, HTI also did not make efforts in theframework of strengthening nationalism because its ideology is contrary to theconcept of nationalism ofthe Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. HTI is alsoseen as lacking in building interfaith harmony in Indonesia.Key Words: Pancasila, Nationalism, Harmony of Religious, NU, HTI

One of the problems that disturb the harmony between religious communities is a lack of understanding of the majority (mainstream) religion about the local religion, and vice versa. This article aims to develop such inter-religious understanding by comparing between Islam and the religion of Adam, a local religion of Samin community. The comparative study was made within the scope of the concept of God in both religions. This study found that the understanding between Islam the religion of Adam about the concept of God is essential in common. God called Allah (in Islam) and Yai (in the religion of Adam) are equally perceived as condescendent, an only single power, and the Almighty. Both communities also share Adam as the first man in the world. So, it is not proportional if the public ridicule Samin community with atheist stigma.

Tolerance Model

Tolerance between religious communities is an important issue to be discussed. This is because in recent years various acts of radicalism and tolerance in the name of religion have increasingly occurred in various parts of the world. This study aims to analyze the inter-religious tolerance model practiced by the Prophet Muhammad in Medina. Using a qualitative method with a literature review approach, this research found that the tolerance built by the Prophet in Medina was dominant with the positive-active tolerance model. This study also found that the reality of tolerance in Medina is basically relevant to the plurality of religions in Indonesia. Therefore, the tolerance model developed by the Prophet in Medina is relevant to be implemented in Indonesia. Of course, the implementation of the tolerance model is by adjusting the sociocultural construction of today's society.

Communal Organization

This paper shows how solidarity is one of the founding principles in Thomas More's Utopia (1516). In the fictional republic of Utopia described in Book II, solidarity has a political and a moral function. The principle is at the center of the communal organization of Utopian society, exemplified in a number of practices such as the sharing of farm work, the management of surplus crops, or the democratic elections of the governor and the priests. Not only does solidarity benefit the individual Utopian, but it is a prerequisite to ensure the prosperity of the island of Utopia and its moral preeminence over its neighboring countries. However, a limit to this principle is drawn when the republic of Utopia faces specific social difficulties, and also deals with the rest of the world. In order for the principle of solidarity to function perfectly, it is necessary to apply it exclusively within the island or the republic would be at risk. War is not out of the question then, and compassion does not apply to all human beings. This conception of solidarity, summed up as “Utopia first!,” could be dubbed a Machiavellian strategy, devised to ensure the durability of the republic. We will show how some of the recommendations of Realpolitik made by Machiavelli in The Prince (1532) correspond to the Utopian policy enforced to protect their commonwealth.

Northern Ireland’s Troubles conflict, like many complex conflicts through the world, has often been conceived as considerably motivated by religious differences. This paper demonstrates that religion was often integrated into an ethno-religious identity that fueled sectarian conflict between Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland during the Troubles period. Instead of being a religious-based conflict, the conflict derived from historical divides of power, land ownership, and civil and political rights in Ireland over several centuries. It relies on 12 interviews, six Protestants and six Catholics, to measure their use of religious references when referring to their religious other. The paper concludes that in the overwhelming majority of cases, both groups did not use religious references, supporting the hypothesis on the integrated nature of ethnicity and religion during the Troubles. It offers grounding for looking into the complex nature of sectarian and seemingly religious conflicts throughout the world, including cases in which religion acts as more of a veneer to deeply rooted identities and historical narratives.

The Impact

The process of globalization, which many times is considered as new world order is affecting all spheres of modern society but also the media. In this paper specifically we will see the impact of globalization because we see changing the media access to global problems in general being listed on these processes. We will see that the greatest difficulties will have small media as such because the process is moving in the direction of creating mega media which thanks to new technology are reaching to deliver news and information at the time of their occurrence through choked the small media. So it is fair to conclude that the rapid economic development and especially the technology have made the world seem "too small" to the human eyes, because for real-time we will communicate with the world with the only one Internet connection, and also all the information are take for the development of events in the four corners of the world and direct from the places when the events happen. Even Albanian space has not left out of this process because the media in the Republic of Albania and the Republic of Kosovo are adapted to the new conditions under the influence of the globalization process. This fact is proven powerful through creating new television packages, written the websites and newspapers in their possession.
