abstract: In explaining sectarian violence and conflict in Indonesia, some
scholars have highlighted the crucial role played by key political
actors. Taking online Salafi rivalries as its point of departure, this
contribution aims to further advance the discussion on the sectarianisation
thesis offered by Hashemi and Postel, which argues that
one of the key factors in religious sectarianism is not theology but
authoritarianism. Unlike the thesis, this contribution argues that
Salafi sectarianism is facilitated by Indonesia’s democratic atmosphere
rather than by authoritarianism. However, this contribution
agrees with the thesis that theology is not a determining aspect in
Salafi sectarianism. Although framed in theological terms, Salafi
rivalries are driven by competing to demonstrate their religious
identity, authority, and ‘good’ citizenship.
