Abstrak Ketika terjadi konflik antar umat beragama di Indonesia, tindakan penyelesaian yang diambil oleh pemerintah tentunya harus mengacu pada Pancasila dan UUD 1945. Sebab, jika pemerintah tidak mengacu pada kedua dasar itu, yang terjadi adalah tindakan diskriminasi, seperti tindakan pemerintah dalam menyelesaikan persoalan konflik Jemaat Ahmadiyah Indonesia (JAI). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui penerapan prinsip sekularisasi dalam menangani konflik keagamaan Jemaat Ahmadiyah di Kuningan. Metodologi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan etnografi. Data diperoleh melalui observasi, dokumentasi, dan wawancara dengan tokoh Ahmadiyah, pemerintah, dan Ormas Islam yang berpengaruh di Kabupaten Kuningan. Studi ini menemukan bahwa prinsip sekularisasi tidak berjalan dengan baik di Kabupaten Kuningan di mana pemerintah Kabupaten Kuningan beritndak cukup diskriminatif terhadap pemenuhan layanan dasar Jemaat Ahmadiyah di Manislor dengan mennangguhkan e-KTP yang berdampak pada pencatatan nikah.   Abstract When there is a conflict between religious communities in Indonesia, the resolution taken by the government should refer to Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution. If the government does not refer to these two principles, it can trigger the acts of discrimination, such as the government’s decisions in resolving the conflict of the Ahmadiyah Community of Indonesia (JAI). This study aims to determine the implementation of the principle of secularization in dealing with religious conflicts of the Ahmadiyya Community in Kuningan. The methodology used in this research is qualitative with an ethnographic approach. The data were obtained through observation, documentation, and interviews with influential Ahmadiyah figures, officials from the government and leaders of Islamic organizations in Kuningan District. This study found that the principle of secularization did not work well in Kuningan District where the Kuningan Regency government was discriminatory towards the fulfillment of basic services of the Ahmadiyah Community in Manislor by suspending e-ID Card which had some serious impacts including on the marriage registration.

The world today is becoming more violent than ever before. Sometimes, the violence can be political, ethnic, economic and or religious. In most cases, distinguishing the main cause of such violence from other causes might be difficult. The factors could be a combination of two issues viz: ethnoreligious conflicts or politico-religious conflicts. The religious experience in Nigeria today, as a multi-religious society so far has proven contrary to the general belief and the widespread expectation of people about religion as an institution that promotes social integration. Christian-Muslim relations in Nigeria today (though being the dominant religions in Nigeria) is standing on shaky ground. The relationship is highly characterized by mutual suspicion, mistrust and distrust. In understanding this characterized reality in their interactions, this work interrogated the ambivalence roles played by religious leaders in Nigeria. And in doing this, the ethnographic research method was adopted. As part of its findings, it was discovered that there is a high level of intolerance among Christians and Muslims in Nigeria occasioned by unguarded utterances and abuse of freedom of speech by many uncensored religious leaders. Thus, setting the stage for avoidable and constant religious confrontations among the adherents of the two religious communities in Nigeria. The study recommends that peaceful co-existence can be possible if the government is responsible and responsive enough to address the basic needs of her masses which would reduce largely the manipulation of religion by clerics for personal gain. Furthermore, the place of meaningful dialogue should be embraced by religious leaders across different religious divides.

The Impact

Often the government and the non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are criticised for their poor performances in delivering services particularly in rural areas. However, there has been limited research on the assessment of their relative performances in service delivery as well as on the perceptions of people on the quality of such service delivery. This study examines the relative performances of NGOs and the governmental development interventions that provide basic services including public health, education, drinking water and sanitation. The study explains the impact of agricultural extension services and infrastructure such as access to roads and markets on the rural people and measures the satisfaction level of the rural community. For this purpose, 225 households (HHs) in 8 villages of Phalia Tehsil, district Mandi Bahauddin, Punjab, Pakistan were first surveyed in 2010 and then in 2014 using a structured questionnaire. The findings reveal different satisfaction levels of HHs, with most of them expressing less satisfaction on government service delivery compared with NGOs. They reveal satisfaction over the performance of NGOs in health, drinking water supplies and agriculture extension services. Further, the study shows an increasing satisfaction of people on access to road, transport, agri-market and price of agri-commodities by the government.

<p>The disparity of determining the early month of Qamariyah in Indonesia is a common phenomenon every year. Therefore, the government, through Ministry of Religious Affairs tries to find a solution for the problem. The focus of this study is to discuss the government’s authority in determining the early month of Qamariyah based on Yusuf Qardhawi’s Political Fiqh Perspective. As a result, the study shows that the government, the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Indonesia, has an authority in determining the early month of Qamariyah. Meanwhile, Islamic organizations or other mass organizations have no authority at all. But, they deserve in announcing after receiving the information from government. Furthermore, the government’s decision is considered as an obligation which has to be obeyed for those having no ability in determining the early month of Qamariyah (independent-ijtihad).</p> <p> </p> <p>Perbedaan penetapan awal bulan Qamariyah di Indonesia menjadi sebuah fenomena dalam setiap tahun. Guna menjembatani perbedaan tersebut, pemerintah mengambil langkah solutif untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan tersebut. Fokus penelitian ini adalah untuk mendiskusikan otoritas pemerintah dalam penetapan awal bulan Qamariyah perspektif fiqh siyâsah Yusuf Qardhawi. Dari hasil penelitian, diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa pemerintah dalam hal ini Kementerian Agama RI mempunyai otoritas dalam menetapkan (itsbât) awal bulan Qamariyah. Sedangkan organisasi ataupun ormas Islam di luar pemerintah pada hakikatnya tidak mempunyai otoritas dalam menetapkan awal bulan Qamariyah, akan tetapi hanya sekedar mengumumkan (ikhbâr) terkait dengan awal bulan qamariyah. Selanjutnya mengenai keputusan pemerintah, pada dasarnya wajib diikuti bagi mereka yang tidak mempunyai kemampuan untuk melakukan ijtihad sendiri dalam menentukan awal bulan Qamariyah.</p> <p> </p>

Although it barely registered in social media and current news in North America, the Shanghai 2010 World Expo was the most expensive urban reconstruction project in Chinese history and also caused the largest human relocation project in Shanghai history. To make way for the Expo, over18 000 families- an estimated 55 000 people- were relocated to the outskirts of Shanghai, away from their homes, communities, social connections and basic services. Of these residents, 25 000 were relocated to Pujiang new town: a brand new town constructed for this occasion by the Shanghai government. Although the government and contracted urban planners built the town, it is the relocated residents who are building the community. Using personal interviews that I and my Shanghainese partner conducted with the residents of Pujiang new town, we aimed to find out how residents are regaining the “social capital” that was lost during their forced relocation, and how their “individual and collective agency” prevents them from being seen as victims of a strong centralized government. In order to understand how this unique case of urban development was created, I will also be explaining the historical causes of the project, and it’s social and political consequences. However, it is the overarching question of “how does China see urban development, and why?” that I wish to answer

The article analyzes the causes and consequences of the split in the evangelical-Baptist environment in the 1960s; found that one of the main causes of the split in the bosom of evangelical Baptist Christians was the destructive influence of state authorities on religion in general, and Christian denominations in particular when initiated by state bodies of the union of Protestant religious communities under the auspices of the All-Union Baptist Council Church for organization under control of special services bodies; it has been proved that the conflicts between the leadership of the Verkhovna Rada and the Council of Churches were artificial. The confrontations among the believers were mainly provoked by SSC agents and secret services, and were only in the hands of the Communist Party regime, which helped him control events, pacify some and repress others; it is proved that under the influence of the movement for the independence of the church from the state headed by «initiators», the regime has been operating since the second half of the 1960s. gradually began to ease the pressure on officially registered communities of evangelical Baptist Christians. Prayer meetings began to be attended by teens, and ordinary members and members of other congregations were allowed to preach. As a result of these changes and some easing of tensions between the church and the government, many believers and congregations began to return to the official union governed by the ACEBC, without wishing further confrontation; it is shown that the internal church events of the 60's of the twentieth century, which were provoked by the SSC special services and led to the split of the EBC community, reflected on the position and activities of the EBC Church and in the period of independence of Ukraine, the higher leadership of the split community (the ACEBC and the Church Council) and could not reconcile and unite in a united union. This significantly weakens their spiritual position in today's globalized world, where cohesion and competitiveness play an important role.

This article discusses the pillars that are at the root of maintaining harmony among religious communities in North Sulawesi Province. When in several cities in Indonesia riots and conflicts occurred only in the City of Manado (North Sulawesi Province) there were no riots and conflicts, whereas when viewed from demographic status that is similar to cities that occurred riots, Manado City has the potential for conflict. However, there are three pillars that make conflict and riots not occur, although it cannot be denied that there are always events that are related to the issue of SARA (Suku, Agama, Ras, dan Antar Golongan; Stands for Ethnic, Religion, Race and Intergroups) that can be the cause of riots in North Sulawesi Province. However, it can always be handled well so that riots and conflicts do not occur. The method used in this study is a qualitative method using anthropological and sociological approaches. The three pillars are the pillar of culture, pillar of religious leaders and the choice of government. The first pillar is culture to be one of the pillars of harmony in North Sulawesi Province because of the existence of mapalus culture. The second pillar, namely religious leaders, becomes a mobilizer in the community and plays a role in calling for sovereignty. The third breakdown is the government in which the government takes an important role by collaborating with religious leaders to safeguard harmony in North Sulawesi Province.Artikel ini membahas mengenai pilar-pilar yang menjadi akar dari terjaganya kerukunan antar umat beragama di Provinsi Sulawesi Utara. Ketika di beberapa kota di Indonesia terjadi kerusuhan dan konflik hanya di Kota Manado  (Provinsi Sulawesi Utara) tidak terjadi kerusuhan dan konflik, padahal jika dilihat dari status demografi yang mirip dengan kota-kota yang terjadi kerusuhan, Kota Manado berpotensi untuk terjadi konflik. Namun terdapat tiga pilar yang membuat konflik dan kerusuhan tidak terjadi meskipun tidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa selalu saja muncul kejadian yang berkaitan dengan isu sara yang dapat menjadi pemantik kerusuhan di Provinsi Sulawesi Utara. Akantetapi, selalu saja dapat diatasi dengan baik sehingga tidak terjadi kerusuhan dan konflik. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode pendekatan antropologis dan sosiologis. Tiga pilar tersebut yaitu pilar budaya, pilar tokoh agama dan pilar pemerintah. Pilar pertama yaitu kebudayaan menjadi salah satu penopang kerukunan di Provinsi Sulawesi Utara karena adanya budaya “mapalus”. Pilar kedua yaitu tokoh agama menjadi penggerak disalam masyarakat dan berperan dalam menyerukan kedaiman. Pilar ketiga yaitu pemerintahan dimana pemerintah mengambil peran penting dengan bekerjasama dengan tokoh agama untuk menjaaga kerukuanan di Provinsi Sulawesi Utara.

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar as potencialidades da utilização de um documento eclesiástico como fonte de reflexões para temática das sensibilidades religiosas brasileiras oitocentistas. Para tal, utilizo uma correspondência, enviada em 1851, assinada pelo Padre Católico Secular: João Batista da Mota Veloso (1818 – 1882), destinada ao Governo da Província do Rio Grande do Sul. A investigação seguiu modelos metodológicos da História Social, recorrendo ao método da busca onomástica, a reconstrução de micro-trajetórias, e aos jogos de escala. Assim, devido ao ineditismo deste tipo de aporte teórico-metodológico e documental, leremos uma microanálise do “texto-chave” da correspondência. O resultado da investigação, por fim, fomenta discussões sobre alguns conceitos e contextos que se referem à história religiosa brasileira oitocentista.Palavras-chave: João Batista da Mota Veloso; Sensibilidades; Conflitos religiosos; Cachoeira do Sul. AbstractThis paper intends to analyze the potential uses of an ecclesiastical document as a source of reflections on the theme of 19th-century Brazilian religious sensibilities. To this aim, I use a correspondence, sent in 1851, signed by the Secular Catholic Father: João Batista da Mota Veloso (1818 - 1882), addressed to the Government of the Province of Rio Grande do Sul. The investigation followed theoretical and methodological models of Social History, using the method of onomastic search, the reconstruction of micro-trajectories, and games of scale. Thus, due to the unprecedented nature of this type of theoretical, methodological, and documentary contribution, we will read a microanalysis of the “key text” of correspondence. The result of the investigation, finally, fosters discussions about some concepts and contexts concerning to 19th-century Brazilian religious history.Keywords: João Batista da Mota Veloso; Sensibilities; Religious conflicts; Cachoeira do Sul.

Active Flow

In the 20th century, in the midst of the active flow of communication technology, which is increasingly active, it provides many conveniences and benefits to the community, especially when accessing information related to religion and da'wah that anyone wants to access. This phenomenon has an impact on various religious understandings by some sects and religious organizations in Indonesia. As we know, there are some of the largest religious organizations that have existed in this country for a long time, namely, Nahdatul Ulama', Muhammadiyah, etc. With the many religious notions that are studied and embraced by some Indonesians, it gives a lot of influence in understanding the religious concept of difference. This can lead to conflict between communities and religious organizations because they have diverse and different religious understandings. Intolerance is a scourge that is very difficult to eliminate in this democratic country. It is proven by the many cases of intolerance that often occur in our country. In recent years, religious issues have become the object of discussion to cause inter-religious conflicts that are spread through social media. with the existence of the Indonesian Gusdurian Network community, it has a very significant influence in countering and also educating the social media world about tolerance between religious communities. Social media is the main tool to provide education and also the importance of understanding differences in diversity with the spirit of maintaining tolerance between religious communities.

This study discusses how the Serang City Square as a public open space is abused by prostitution as a place for approval of prostitution transactions. These conditions make the City Government of Serang do various ways to allow the condition of the City Square of Serang which has been abused by parties related to prostitution. When the government has not been able to deal with the problem of prostitution itself, then to facilitate the handling of prostitution, the government collaborates with other parties, namely Islamic Organizations that are considered capable of assisting the City Government of Serang in eradicating prostitution in Serang City Square. However, at the time of the collaboration between the Serang City Government and the Islamic Organizations, it had not been running optimally because there were some collaborations between one of them which was not going well with good communication between the best institutions and the Islamic Organizations in eradicating prostitution. This is because the government considers that Islamic Organizations do not have the authority to eradicate prostitution. Indeed, the role of Islamic Organizations is only as a companion and to remind the government.
