Editor's Notes

  1. Muslims in Indonesia can be categorised in terms of two orientations: "modernists" who closely adhere to orthodox theology while embracing modern learning, and "traditionalists," who tend to follow the interpretations of local religious leaders and religious teachers at Islamic boarding schools (pesantren). Anthony reid
  2. There is no written record of who built the Borobudur or of its intended purpose.[21] The construction time has been estimated by comparison between carved reliefs on the temple's hidden foot and the inscriptions commonly used in royal charters during the 8th and 9th centuries. Borobudur was likely founded around 800 CE.[21] This corresponds to the period between 760 and 830 CE, the peak of the Sailendra dynasty rule of Mataram kingdom in central Java,[22] when it was under the influence of the Srivijayan Empire. The construction has been estimated to have taken 75 years and was completed during the reign of Samaratungga in 825.
  3. The Prambanan temple is the largest Hindu temple of ancient Java, and the first building was completed in the mid-9th century. It was likely started by Rakai Pikatan as the Hindu Sanjaya Dynasty's answer to the Buddhist Sailendra Dynasty's Borobudur and Sewu temples nearby. Historians suggest that the construction of Prambanan probably was meant to mark the return of the Hindu Sanjaya Dynasty to power in Central Java after almost a century of Buddhist Sailendra Dynasty domination. The construction of this massive Hindu temple signifies that the Medang court had shifted its patronage from Mahayana Buddhism to Shaivite Hinduism. A temple was first built at the site around 850 CE by Rakai Pikatan and expanded extensively by King Lokapala and Balitung Maha Sambu the Sanjaya king of the Mataram Kingdom. According to the Shivagrha inscription of 856 CE, the temple was built to honor Lord Shiva, and its original name was Shiva-grha (the House of Shiva) or Shiva-laya (the Realm of Shiva).[6] According to the Shivagrha inscription, a public water project to change the course of a river near Shivagrha Temple was undertaken during the construction of the temple. The river, identified as the Opak River, now runs north to south on the western side of the Prambanan temple compound. Historians suggest that originally the river was curved further to east and was deemed too near to the main temple.[citation needed] The project was done by cutting the river along a north to south axis along the outer wall of the Shivagrha Temple compound. The former river course was filled in and made level to create a wider space for the temple expansion, the space for rows of pervara (complementary) temples.
  4. 90% of the Indonesian population are Muslims (191,7 mio.), which makes it the country in the world with the largest population of Muslims. Since Indonesia got its independence in 1945, there has been Muslim leaders and Islamic parties, struggling for the adaptation of Shari’a into the Indonesian Constitution. So far they have not succeeded. Instead the secularist led by Sukarno, came to power and promoted the Five Principles (Pancasila). -Belief in the one and only God - Universal humanity that is just and civilized -The unity of Indonesia -Democracy guided by the inner wisdom in the unanimity arising out of deliberations amongst representatives -Social justice for all of the people of Indonesia
  5. Saint Joseph's Roman Catholic Church, Denpasar, Bali
  6. Masjid ini ada di Komplek Rumah Sakit Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang.
  7. Long long ago, people still confused about the concept of God. Is he really exist? Because their confusion, they thought a simple thing, “We came from our parents, we came from our ancestors”. And the Animism’s born. Many people believed in it, especially in the Kingdom Era. But some people also have it until now. Usually people in the small village, still doing it. Village chief commonly present to lead the ceremonies. Animism still exists in some parts of Indonesia. However, this belief is not accepted as Indonesia's official religion as the Pancasila states the belief in the supreme deity, or monotheism.[50] Animism, on the other hand, does not believe in a particular god. The government of Indonesia often views indigenous beliefs as adat (custom) rather that agama (religion) or as a variant of a recognised religion.[51] Because the government do not recognise animism indigenous tribal belief systems as official religion, as a result followers of various native animistic religions such as Dayak Kaharingan have identified themselves as Hindu to avoid pressure to convert to Islam or Christianity. Several native tribal beliefs such as Sundanese Sunda Wiwitan, Torajan Aluk To Dolo, and Batak Malim — although different from Indian influenced Balinese Hinduism — might seek affiliation with Hinduism to survive, while at the same time also preserving their distinction from mainstream Indonesian Hinduism dominated by Balinese. In many cases, some of the followers of these native beliefs might convert to Christianity or Islam, at least registered as such on their Indonesian identity card (KTP), but still uphold and perform their native beliefs.
  8. The tendensies in Islamic policy have changed since the 1950s and up till now. It has gone from Islamic parties, working for the incorporation of Shari’a into the Constitution, build on a foundation of Islamic philosophies, till Islam-friendly parties, working with some Islamic values, but not Shari’a, and build on a more pragmatic foundation. The Islamic inspired parties are now representing a more diverse group of people, because they have both secular and Islamic values in their politics.
