Jihad For Whom? The Radicalization of Religion as a Response to Political Oppresion: From Turkish to Indonesian Islam Olaf Schumann Primary Author mixed material bibliography Bag.Serial Journal Of Indonesian Islam ind Indonesia Sumber artikel:Jurnal. Halaman: 240-266 The confrontation with Western colonialism has become part of the Islamic history since the nineteenth century. This paper is an attempt to investigate the radicalization of religion in several parts of the Islamic world. It focuses however on the review of the history of the caliphate and its adjunct notions like pan-Islamism or rule over all Muslims and jihad to fight for it. Having assessed the attempts made by Muslim in several parts of the Islamic world in dealing with Western colonialism the paper then reflects the manifestation of Islamic politics in Indonesia. The paper argues that the majority of Muslims whenever they have a chance to voice their aspirations do not support a radicalization or even militarization of their religion. Muslims in Indonesia in particular had this chance to opt for their political or societal aspirations in several general elections and the large majority of them voted for politicians and parties who pursue an inclusive policy reflecting the plural composition of their society. 1.
