AND ISLAMIC POLITICAL PARTIES:
The Case of West Sumatera ProvinceThe aim of this paper is to explain the apparent paradox between political
Islam and Islamic political parties in Indonesia. On one hand, the support for
Islamic political parties is in decline, while, on the other religious intolerance
and the implementation of local regulations based on the shari’ah laws have
increased in many provinces. This paper argues that political Islam and Islamic
political parties are not synonymous. Moreover, the aim of achieving an ideal
society according to an Islamist’s vision and their religious interpretations does
not only by adopt a top-down strategic model through participation in formal
politics but also by using bottom-up strategic model by focusing on the societal
level. By adopting gradualist approaches, hardliner Islamist ideas disseminate
peacefully in Indonesia today. This study will focus on West-Sumatra as a
case study, considering West Sumatra is one of the most widely province issued
the shari’ah laws in Indonesia. This article will shed light on local and often
underestimated dynamics.
[Artikel ini menjelaskan paradoks antara Islam politik dan partai politik
Islam di Indonesia. Jika pada satu sisi, dukungan terhadap partai politik
Islam menurun, namun pada sisi berbeda tingkat intoleransi dan angka
peraturan daerah berbasiskan syariah meningkat. Karena itu, artikel ini
berargumen bahwa Islam politik dan partai politik Islam tidak selalu sejalan.
Selain itu, cita-cita untuk mewujudkan masyarakat yang Islami tidak melulu harus diwujudkan dari atas-ke-bawah melalui partisipasi politik, namun juga
dari bawah-ke-atas, yakni menitikberatkan pada level masyarakat. Dengan
strategi gradual -perlahan-lahan-, gagasan fundamentalis Islam tanpa sadar
kasus persoalan di atas. Pilihan Sumatra Barat berdasarkan pada realitas
bahwa di propinsi inilah, perda shari’ah paling banyak diberlakukan.
Artikel ini akan berkontribusi pada diskusi mengenai politik lokal dan
