Ismail, Faisal (1995) Islam in Indonesian Politics: A Study of Muslim Response to and acceptance of thePancasila. Doktor thesis, Universitas Brawijaya.
Abstract
The main objective of this study is to analyze three major Indonesian Muslim responses to the Pancasila, the state ideology of Indonesia. The first Muslim response occurred when the Secular Nationalists proposed,shortly before Indonesia' sindependence in 1945 and again later in the Constituent Assembly debates(1956-1959), that the Pancasila be the basis of state. The second Muslim response to the Pancasila took place in 1978 when the New Order government proposed that the P 4 (Guidelines for Understanding and Practicing the Pancasila) be legalized.The Muslims atfirst objected to both the proposal of thePancasila as the foundation of the state and that of the P 4, but finally acquiesced. Each stage in this process was marked by debate over the role of Islam in Indonesian society and politics, which often led to antagonism between the government and the Muslim community. When the government proposed in 1982 that the Pancasila serve as the sole basis for all political and mass organizations, the third Muslim response occurred. The Muslims acceptance of this policy marked the end of the government s application of severe policiestowardsthem and has resulted in the former being allowed to play an even greater role in Indonesian politicsthan had previously been the case.
