Isi artikel

The author offers a discourse analysis of inter-religious relations during the New Order (1965-1998) in Indonesia. The relations between the Muslim majority and Christian minority were tense in this period. Muslims and Christian disagreed on how to interpret the law concerning freedom of religion and tolerance. Muslims claimed that Christians used foreign aid for 'Christianization' and 'Westernization. Christians, on the other hand, claimed that Muslims curtailed the freedom of religion of Christians by acts of intolerance and violence. Meanwhile, then president Suharto tried to be seen as impartial, for he considered economic prosperity more important than religion.
