During the last 5 years the secular left in Indonesia has experienced radicalization. They are increasingly intolerant of Islamic groups in this country by accusing them of being intolerant, anti-NKRI and even anti-Pancasila.
This was stated by Professor of the Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS) Prof. Daniel Mohammad Rosyid in an article entitled "Radicalization of the Secular Left in Indonesia"
According to Daniel, this secular leftist group also calls Islam an imported religion from Arabia, dividing the nation and making a lot of trouble. "Apart from being driven by political lust, stomach and under the stomach, this radicalization takes advantage of two international agendas that have shaped the regional geopolitical environment for at least the last 10 years," he said.
Daniel said, the resurrection of this secular leftist group took advantage of the Bush War on Terror agenda, which in practice means the War on Islam which is still being continued by Trump. Only dumb naive nuns believe that ISIS, al Qaeda and the Jihadist Movement are not intelligence operations of the radical right secularists who have ruled the West Wing especially since Obama came to power.
The Huntingtonian discourse on the clash of civilizations is a menu that these inhabitants of the West Wing have so greedily devoured. This was agreed with loud voices full of devotion by the secular leftist nationalists in this country.
He said the project of secularization as well as mass support through forced mass schooling since the New Order had caused the people of this country to be historically blind and critical of their power dull. As a result, the community becomes an easy food for paid influencers to lie on social media.
"The most passionate bad influencers are actually played by the biggest Islamic mass organization elite in this country. Now many public officials are bold enough to say that political life must be cleansed from religion. Even religion is made the biggest enemy of Pancasila. That statement can only be uttered by the secular radical left, "he explained.
Strengthening the secular left, said Daniel, it was seen that a director of a BUMN was dismissed because he was holding recitation by inviting speakers accused of being radical preachers.
"The removal of the board of directors is clearly unconstitutional as well as a major crime which, if left unchecked, will increasingly damage the nationalities of this very diverse country," he said.
The radicalization of the secular left by riding the war on Islam West Wing and China's OBOR agenda. As said by the Deputy Chairperson of MUI KH Anwar Abbas, Muslims need to protest very hard at KH Ma'ruf Amin who is silent about the arbitrariness and abuses of the constitution.
"Even the Radical Islam observer, Sidney Jones, is astonished by the current government's obsession to criminalize FPI," he concluded.
