Understanding and managing inter-religious relations, particularly
between Muslims and Christians, presents a challenge for states
around the world. This book investigates legal disputes between
religious communities in the world's largest majority-Muslim,
democratic country, Indonesia. It considers how the interaction
between state and religion has influenced relations between
religious communities in the transition to democracy. The book
presents original case studies based on empirical field research of
court disputes in West Java, a majority-Muslim province with a
history of radical Islam. These include criminal court cases, as
well as cases of judicial review, relating to disputes concerning
religious education, permits for religious buildings and the crime
of blasphemy. The book argues that the democratic law reform
process has been influenced by radical Islamists because of the
politicization of religion under democracy and the persistence of
fears of Christianization. It finds that disputes have been
localized through the decentralization of power and exacerbated by
the central government's ambivalent attitude towards radical
Islamists who disregard the rule of law. Examining the challenge
facing governments to accommodate minorities and manage religious
pluralism, the book furthers understanding of state-religion
relations in the Muslim world. This accessible and engaging book is
of interest to students and scholars of law and society in
Southeast Asia, was well as Islam and the state, and the legal
regulation of religious diversity.
