"In this paper we explore the ways in which the Indonesian Front Pembela Islam\r\n(Islamic Defenders Front–FPI) uses hate speech and demonization to legitimize violent\r\nattacks on organizations and individuals it considers to be sinful or religiously deviant,\r\nand civil discourse to establish credibility and respectability.1We argue that the use of a\r\ndiscursive frame established by fatwa (legal opinions) issued by the semi-official\r\nMajelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI–Indonesian Council of Muslim Scholars) and tacit\r\nsupport from powerful political factions enable FPI to conduct campaigns of demonization\r\nand violence with near impunity and to avoid being labeled as a terrorist\r\norganization. We elaborate on a distinction between what the Center for Religious\r\nand Cross-Cultural Studies (CRCS) at Gadjah Mada University calls the two faces of\r\nFPI (Bagir et al. 2010a). The CRCS report distinguishes between civil and uncivil\r\nmodes of FPI discourse and praxis. The civil mode seeks to establish the organization’s\r\ncredibility in the public sphere. It presents FPI as the ally of authorities in attempts to\r\ncontrol deviance and assisting those in need, especially victims of natural disasters. The uncivil mode uses demonizing rhetoric to build and maintain a base for violently\r\nconfronting, brutalizing and sometimes killing those it deems deviant.2 We show that\r\nFPI has not two, but three faces: one civil; a second that dehumanizes and demonizes\r\nenemies; and a third explicitly calling on members and supporters to attack and kill\r\nthem. FPI discourse becomes increasingly violent as the audience they are engaging\r\nchanges from the general public to in-group religious gatherings. While it demonizes\r\nnearly all of its opponents, FPI targets for physical violence only those who lack official\r\nstatus and protection. Factions within the government and police are reluctant to curb\r\nFPI violence for fear of appearing “un-Islamic,” or because they sympathize with the\r\ngroup’s goals despite their criminality. Collusion between elements of the security\r\nforces and FPI is a significant factor contributing to the seeming disconnect between\r\nofficial discourse that condemns violence and practices that accommodate or even\r\nfacilitate it."^^ .
