THE COUNTRY • CONSISTS OF ABOUT 17.OOO ISLANDS • CONSISTS OF MANY TRIBES AND ETHNIC GROUPS WITH ABOUT 500 LANGUAGES • CONSISTS OF SIX LEGAL RELIGIONS (ISLAM, CATHOLIC, CHRISTIAN, HINDU, BUDDHA) AND MANY INDIGENOUS BELIEVES
ETHNICITY THE MAJORITY IS JAVANESSE FROM THE FIVE BIGGEST ISLANDS IN INDONESIA, JAVA IS ONLY THE FIFTH. BUT THE POPULATION IS THE BIGGEST. MANY JAVANESSE BECOME PUBLIC OFFICER, EVEN IN OTHER ISLANDS ALTOUGH IT’S CLAIMED THAT NO DISCRIMINATION, THERE IS. ESPECIALLY FOR CHINESSE AND “EX-COMMUNIST” ONES
RELIGION • THE MAJORITY IS ISLAM (CLAIMED MORE THAN 90%) • EVERY PLACE HAVE THEIR OWN MAJORITY: • NORTH SUMATRA, SULAWESI, AND EAST PART OF INDONESIA: CHRISTIAN • BALI: HINDU • OTHER: ISLAM
CHARACTERIZE • CHRISTIAN • A LOT OF DENOMINATION. • INDONESIAN CHURCH COMMUNION: ECUMENIST ONES • TWO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS: EVANGELIST ONES
CHARACTERIZE • MOSLEM • NAHDLATUL ULAMA: MODERATE, BASED ON VILLAGE COMMUNITY, PLURALIST • MUHAMMADIYAH: MODERATE, BASED ON INTELECTUALLIST, RATHER PLURALIST, MORE PURITANT • RADIKAL MOSLEM (SALAFIAH AND WAHABIAH) LDII, FPI, PKS (POLITICAL PARTY)
CONNECTED WITH ETHNICITY ISSUE • AFTER REFORMATION CHAOS (1998) MANY CHINESSE WOMEN BEING RAPED ONLY BECAUSE THEY ARE CHINESSE. AT THAT TIME MANY PEOPLE HAVE NO ENOUGH MONEY TO LIVE. THEY THINK THAT EVERY CHINESSE IS RICH AND STOLE INDONESIAN RICHNESS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ORIGINAL INDONESIAN
CONNECTED WITH RELIGION ISSUE • POSO (CENTRAL SULAWESI) AND AMBON (MALUKU) BEGIN WITH PERSONAL OR INTER VILLAGE PROBLEM, BUT BECAUSE THEY HAVE DIFFERENT RELIGION THEN BECOME OPENED CONFLICT BETWEEN CHRISTIANS AND MOSLEMS
HKBP/LUTHERAN BATAK’S CHURCH (2010) SOME CONGREGATION MEMBER WALK TO THEIR WORSHIP PLACE AND SOME PEOPLE ATTACK THEM THEY DON’T GET PERMITION TO BUILD CHURCH AT THEIR LAND
MANY CHURCHES IN WEST PART OF INDONESIA (ESPECIALLY IN JAVA) GET TROUBLE WHEN THEY WANT TO BUILD OR REBUILD CHURCH BUILDING. • SOMETIMES THE ALREADY BUILT ONES ARE BURNED
YMCA EXPERIENCE - REFUSAL • YMCA YOGYAKARTA 2006 AT THE END OF AFTER EARTHQUAKE CHILDREN REHABILITATION PROGRAMME IN GENENG VILLAGE, SOME PEOPLE THAT CLAIMED THEIRSELF AS MOSLEM STOP THE PROGRAMME AFTER ABOUT FIVE MONTHS.
YMCA YOGYAKARTA 2009 SOME PEOPLE THAT CLAIMED THEIRSELF AS PART OF ONE OF RADICAL MOSLEM ORGANIZATION PROHIBIT US TO HOLD YOUTH WORK CAMP AT GAMELAN VILLAGE (WHICH MAJORITY CATHOLIC). ALTOUGH 2007 AND 2008 THEY ALSO BECOME HOST VILLAGE.
YMCA INDONESIA 2010 WHEN YMCA INDONESIA PLAN TO HOLD AFTER EARTHQUAKE CHILDREN REHABILITATION PROGRAM IN PADANG, SOME ORGANIZATIONS REFUSE US. IN THIS CASE, THE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS (EVEN THE ONE THAT INVOLVED SINCE EMERGENCY TIME) ALSO BEING REFUSED. NOTE: PADANG IS VERY MOSLEM
YMCA’S EXPERIENCE - ACCEPTANCE YMCA YOGYAKARTA 1.ONE OF THE VILLAGE THAT WE SERVED AFTER EARHTQUAKE IS 100% MOSLEM. AT FIRST, THE RELIGIOUS LEADER REFUSED US. BUT THE COMMUNITY MEMBER PUSHED HIM TO ACCEPT US BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ORGANIZATION CAME TO THAT VILLAGE
2.TWO OF OUR YOUTH WORK CAMP PLACE ARE ALMOST ALL MOSLEM, BUT THEY ACCEPT US. EVEN THE BINTARAN VILLAGE IS TWICE.
ANALYZIS • IN THE ORDINARY PEOPLE LEVEL, THERE NO PROBLEM TO LIVE IN A PLURAL COMMUNITY. ESPECIALLY JAVA, BECAUSE JAVANESSE ARE VERY OPEN TO NEW OR DIFFERENT THINGS. • THE FUNDAMENTALIST (CHRISTIAN AND MOSLEM) IS ONLY LITTLE PART OF COMMUNITIES. BUT THEY HAVE LOUD VOICE AND VERY MILITANT
IN MANY CASE, THE FUNDAMENTALIST ONES ARE NOT ORIGIN FROM A PLACE. MOST OF THEM ARE NEW PEOPLE IN A COMMUNITY. • IN MANY CASE, GOVERNMENT IS SILENT, DO NOTHING. • ETHNIC AND RELIGION (INCLUDE THE HISTORY OF EACH) EASILY BEING USED AS TRIGGER OF CONFLICT BY SOME PARTIES/GROUP
