The real threat to the Republic of Indonesia in the next 4 years is the Radical movement, this is because the movement is contrary to the Republic of Indonesia and there is no term NKRI to be sharia in the context of the Pancasila State. Synergy is needed for all elements of society to reject and be aware of the anti-Pancasila understanding.
The Head of the Ministry of Interior’s Information Center, Bahtiar said, the Government’s attitude will remain firm against mass organizations that are contrary to the ideology of Pancasila. CBOs can stay alive but don’t become enemies of the state.
At present nationalism in Indonesia must be interpreted as nationalism which shapes the value of the unity and integrity of the Indonesian nation. According to him, Pancasila needs to be translated into daily life.
We also cannot close our eyes that Pancasila is increasingly undermined by radical movements. As if the campaign about radicalism on social media is far more intense than the movement to build a sense of unity.
The thin feeling of nationalism is also one of the causes of the spread of radicalism that is anti-Pancasila, anti-NKRI, anti-1945, and no less dangerous is the attitude of fond of disbelieving other people.
Therefore, coaching and validation of CSOs is very important to be carried out by the state. It aims to find out the extent of active organizations and their movements.
The spirit of nationalism must be maintained by all citizens, in an effort to maintain Pancasila as the basis of the state. And to maintain the sovereignty and integrity of the Unitary Republic of Indonesia from various kinds of threats, challenges and disturbances.
The development of increasingly sophisticated technology, has become a trend for radicals to spread their ideology, through video, articles and status on social media that is still easily found.
If left unchecked, of course this radical group will be very easy in recruiting new members. Of course this clearly shows that radicalism is a real threat that needs to be watched out together.
The government’s effort to overcome radicalism in Indonesia is to build awareness that human differences are the nature of God’s creation. In addition, it is also necessary to ground the Pancasila.
Democracy in Indonesia is considered to be open and able to provide space for differences of opinion. It was none other than aimed at refreshing the spirit of the community in the nation.
The enormity of radicalism we have seen clearly, where currently there are 600 Indonesian people in Syria who decided to rip their passports, of course this is an irony of its own, but the government also cannot repatriate them, because they consciously left their homeland to live with radical organizations.
Of course it is not easy to cure former Indonesian citizens in Syria to recognize the Republic of Indonesia and Pancasila. BNPT alone requires almost 3 years to make efforts to deradicalize someone who has joined ISIS.
This is enough to explain how to prevent radicalism from entering Indonesia. Because if that happens and is still entrenched in the archipelago, it can be predicted that the entire Indonesian nation will surely suffer.
Indonesian people from various ethnic groups must be united in rejecting radical ideas which are clearly detrimental to many parties. Pancasila as the basis of the state is final and cannot be contested by any ideology.
So do not let narrow religious interpretations be exploited for certain interests such as hitting Pancasila values. For example, radical groups who consider Pancasila as a tagut or idol.
The birth of Pancasila as the basis of the Indonesian state was the fruit of the thinking of the founders of the nation which was squeezed from cultural values and religious teachings. Therefore, religion is not at all contradictory and cannot be contrasted with Pancasila.
For this reason, it is necessary to strengthen the harmonious relations of religion and Pancasila in an effort to explicitly reject groups that want to contrast them.
Though the correlation between religion and Pancasila is actually a very positive correlation because it has their respective positions.
Religion regulates mankind which is certainly not only in Indonesia, but also outside Indonesia. While Pancasila regulates human beings in Indonesia, which consists of various tribes and religions. These two things certainly support each other and buksan cancel each other out.
Therefore, it is important to spread the spirit of Pancasila in various elements of society as an effort to stem the threat of radicalism in the Republic of Indonesia.
