Abstract

Religious diversity in a country is prone to tensions between groups, especially if there is a very wide disparity between the minority and the majority. Domination by the majority over the minority may lead into discrimination and intolerance. This paper describes how the Islamic discourses of the Muslim majority in Indonesia, represented by Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah as the largest Islamic mass organizations in Indonesia, perceive the Shia community. This paper utilizes the concept of communal tolerance developed by Jeremy Menchik to analyze how intolerance is still inherent in amongst the majority groups. Through a descriptive method, this paper refers to many relevant literature reviewed with an intra-religious dialogue approach. Considering the importance of intra-Muslim dialogue as part of attempts to redefine tolerance, discriminatory actions should be no longer experienced by minority groups.

Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic has been impacted many aspects of people’s lives especially in social and cultural matters. Reports on hate crimes including racism, discrimination, and stigmatization continue to increase, especially those involving violence both physically and verbally. The worst incident occurred in America, with a number of reports of attacks by white Americans against Asian Americans. The rise of anti-Asian hate crimes is allegedly related to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, historically, the negative stigma against Asia has been going on for a long time due to the development of orientalism in the West. This paper examines how racial discrimination towards Asians is linked to the idea of orientalism and not only as part of the COVID-19 outbreaks. To obtain data, this paper uses publicly accessible data that has been recorded since the beginning of the pandemic and a text in social media as a trigger to be analyzed. Using literature review and discourse analysis, this paper will focus on the dynamics of orientalism in the Western World and the rise of Anti-Asian hate crimes in COVID-19. Study found that the internalized orientalism is still attached to Western people and it causing some of them to perpetrate racial discriminatory behavior and hate crimes toward Asians. This paper also includes the global response to Anti-Asian hate crimes that occurred in several Western countries during the pandemic of COVID-19 especially in rising awareness on ceasing racial discrimination.
