posted on 2020-12-18, 23:42 authored by Heri Kusmanto, Mif Rohim Noyo SarkunThis article briefly discusses the accommodative politic of Indonesia's Islamic civil society from the perspective of
ideological background, society and role point of views during the period of New Order regime. During that time, Muslims
was the group of societies that mostly experienced suppressions by the regime.
To keep their existence, the Islamic civil society used a political approach that was accommodative to encounter the regime’s policy and diffuse within the
government. Surprisingly, this ideological politic remained useful and grew during the New Order
regime period, leading the main element in triggering the democratization
process. The findings of this study show that the peoples’ social
background and level of understanding on ideology, politic and sociological
reality contributed to the effectiveness of the accommodative
politic implementation. Furthermore, the Islamic society played a vital role as “driving” force in the
democratization process in Indonesia, indicating that Islamic ideology is
apparently in agreement with Democracy
