【演講摘要】
Almost 90% of Indonesia’s 270 million people follow Islam, making it the country with the largest Muslim population in the world. However, Indonesia is not an Islamic country. Its government officially recognizes five other religions in addition to Islam, namely Protestantism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism.
Despite this official recognition, the discrimination against members of minority religions by Islamic conservative groups is at the centre of Indonesia’s politics. This talk examines the ambiguity between the constitutional embrace of “religious freedom” and the discriminatory practices of Islamic conservative groups.
Ideally, “citizenship” pertains to the institutionalized rules binding the state and its citizens. In practice however, it goes beyond these unproblematized relations. It is political, involving competition and conflicts. “Citizenship” should therefore be examined through its extent (inclusion/exclusion), content (rights/responsibility), and depth (perceived relations to the political community).
By examining the blasphemy sentence against the Chinese-Christian governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (or Ahok), the blasphemy sentence against a Chinese-Buddhist woman, and the persecution of the Ahmadis and Shias, I argue that Islamic conservative groups are practicing “segregated citizenship,” prioritizing the interests of the majority religion against those of the officially recognized and the unrecognized minorities.
