Abstract

This article focuses on the roots of radicalism as can be seen in young Muslims in NTT Province. The majority of the population of this province are either Protestant or Catholic Christians. Nationally, NTT has a reputation for being a province which is coloured by religious tolerance. People of different religions live side by side peacefully. A probable reason for this is the fact that family and friendship relationships tend to cross religious boundaries. However, in recent times religious harmony has been impacted by radical  thinking among tertiary Muslim students. These seeds can be seen in their understanding of, and attitude to, radical Islamism. At the level of understanding, they do not differentiate between Islam as a religion and Islam as an ideology. At times they identify radical Islamism as the teaching of Islam. Attitude-wise, this article points out that a considerable number of respondents hold certain convictions which are in line with the ideology of radical Islamism. Keywords: Radical Islamism, fundamentalism, radical Islam, Islamic student, ideology of a Islam, terror, terrorism.

Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the theological significance of the traditional religious practice of the Manggaraians in Flores, eastern Indonesia called the Kélah Ritual. It is an aspect of the traditional religion of the Manggaraians. The authorities of the Catholic Church in Manggarai have been very tolerant toward the ritual and provide enough space for the Catholics to practice it. The  Church, however, does not have a sufficient understanding of its theological significance due to insufficient previous studies on the subject. This paper demonstrates that the ritual has a deep theological significance. This study employed direct observation, direct participation in the Kélah Ritual in several places in Manggarai, focus group discussions, key informant interviews and questionnaires.  The results of this research indicate that this ritual is a rite of passage about the human soul departing from this world to heaven conducted a few days or months after the body’s interment. It was on the day of the soul’s ascension to heaven where all of the family ancestors meet with God eternally. This research concludes that, with its theological meaning, the ritual conforms with the Catholic faith doctrine regarding the gradual departure of the human soul to heaven after its corporal death – purgatory. No soul goes right away to heaven when it is not 100% holy. The ritual, therefore, could be valued and officially incorporated into the Catholic faith tradition  in order to enrich its worship to God.

Abstract

This article aims to investigate the communication between the ghosts of the dead and the living. It is quite commonthat the living talk to the ghosts of the dead through different rituals in the tradional religions. On the contrary, the studyabout communication between the ghost of the dead with the living is not very common. Therefore, a question in thisresearch is: “Is there any experience that the ghost of the dead talks to the living?” The assumption is that: there iscommunication between the ghost of the dead and the living. Using descriptive-qualitative method of research, the result ofthis study shows that there is communication between the ghosts of the dead and the living. The communication takes placethrough the medium of the paranormal in which the paranormal man or woman invites the ghost of the dead to talk to his orher family through paranormal man or woman or simply to get the message from the ghost. The communication also takesplace through dreams, and later on the message or messages that iare delivered in the dream become real or reallyhappened. Then, the communication of the ghost of the dead and the living is analyzed using postmodernism, fenomenology,and ethnometodology perspectives. Each perspective argues that the communication between the dead and the living isunderstandable and academically acceptable.Keywords: communication, dead, living, dream, paranormal, post modernism, fenomenolgy, and ethnomethodology.
