With regard to the controversial religious freedom debate, it summarises what actors are involved in the discussion and how their positions are presented in the mainstream media. Several examples from articles show what strategies are employed in the discourse, such as the rhetoric of fear and crisis and the constant emphasis of racial and other supposedly separating categories. The close linkage of the categories ethnicity and religion, which is manifested legally as well as politically, is perpetuated linguistically. Especially important in this context is the construction of a Muslim-Malay identity. date: 2009-11-12 date_type: published publication: /Jurnal/Al-Jamiah/Al-Jamiah Vol. 47 No.1/ publisher: Jurnal Al Jamiah UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta refereed: TRUE referencetext: update terakhir : 2009-11-12 10:43:05 ; nama file diserver lama : digilib-uinsuka--saskialoui-3025-1-racialis-n.pdf ; letak file diserver lama : ./files/disk1/61/digilib-uinsuka--saskialoui-3025-1-racialis-n.pdf ; url download server lama : /download.php?id=3443 ; nama file lama : RACIALISING RELIGION.pdf ; format file : application/pdf ; besar file : 169624 ; Copyright (c) 2009 by Perpustakaan Digital UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta.
