Abstract

The arrival of immigrants from various countries and continents to America has become part of a very long history for this country. In fact, the United States was founded by group of immigrants. History accounts the arrival of Muslim immigrants in America in several waves; nonetheless, Islam and Muslims remained foreign for American people. For Muslim Immigrants, the tragedy of September 11 (2001) had profoundly impacted them. They endure prejudices, discrimination, verbal abuse, and hate crimes due to the increasing Islamophobia among American society. The study highlights a group of young Muslims known as Mipsterz (Muslim Hipsters) and examines how Mipsterz becomes a site for negotiating identity as a Muslim American. Started as a small group of Muslim youngsters from New York City in 2012, Mipsterz develops into a space for minorities to speak up and define themselves through their creative works. Unluckily, along with the growing number of white supremacists, Islamophobia and negative stereotypes are keep growing and felt by Muslim Americans, even among American-born Muslim generations. Mipsterz aims to keep producing stories and marginalized voices to the fore front of American public, as its members do not want to be identified either Muslims or Americans; they are Muslim Americans.

Abstract

Students are the intellectual generation who will perform the future social transformation. Thus, it is necessary to provide them with Islamic Education as a foundation and initial step in carrying out their role. Even though living in the Covid-19 pandemic era, students feel that the presence of muállims who intensively guide and motivate them to deepen their religious knowledge bring them a good influence. This research has two aims: to know the process of Islamic Education Development and to determine the influence of Islamic Education Development on the students' religious sensitivity. In conducting the research, the researchers employ a mixed method, i.e., qualitative, and quantitative methods. By quantitative, this research takes 168 respondents of new students of the academic year 2020/2021 who have conducted an online Islamic Education Development program during the Covid-19 pandemic. The respondents are taken with random sampling by distributing questionnaires through Google Forms. The results of the questionnaires were inputted into excel tables and processed with linear regression in SPSS 25. By qualitative, the researchers conduct naturalistic observation interviews with students and muállims. The results show a significant influence of the Islamic Education Development program (variable X) on the students' religious sensitivity (variable Y) as much as 81.7 %. In comparison, the rest, 18.3 %, are influenced by other factors outside the variable X. The Islamic Education Development program during the Covid-19 pandemic is an internalization of religious values effectively and efficiently. Besides, this internalization is a way to achieve the University of Islam Indonesia's goal, namely, to create students who will disseminate the Islamic message of Rahmatan lilálamin.
