Islamic schools, especially madrasahs, have been viewed as sites of
indoctrination for Muslim students and militants. Some educators
and parents in the United States have also regarded introductory
courses on Islam in some public schools as indoctrinatory. But what
do we mean by "indoctrination"? And is Islamic education
indoctrinatory? This book critically discusses the concept of
indoctrination in the context of Islamic education. It explains
that indoctrination occurs when a person holds to a type of beliefs
known as control beliefs that result in ideological totalism. Using
Indonesia as an illustrative case study, the book expounds on the
conditions for an indoctrinatory tradition to exist and thrive.
Examples include the Islamic school co-founded by Abu Bakar
Ba'asyir and the militant organisation Jemaah Islamiyah. The book
further proposes ways to counter and avoid indoctrination through
formal, non-formal, and informal education. It argues for the
creation and promotion of educative traditions that are underpinned
by religious pluralism, strong rationality, and strong autonomy.
Examples of such educative Muslim traditions in Indonesia will be
highlighted. Combining philosophical inquiry with empirical
research, this book is a timely contribution to the study of
contemporary and often controversial issues in Islamic education.
