Beginning in 2020, radicalism apparently has come to the attention of the government because it is considered very unsettling the community. The Radikala Islamic Movement is flourishing in a political context. The ideology seemed to try to rise up against the nation state by making Islam a shield, both on a global scale such as the Khilafah Islamiyah and on a national scale such as Daulah Islamiyah.
Radical movements in Indonesia are often in the name of religion and this has been going on since the Middle Ages. In the case of terrorism, for example. Because the perpetrators are Muslim, a stigma arises in society that terrorism is synonymous with Islam. But actually the stigma is wrong, because Islam does not teach violence let alone hurt all.
Region III Inspector General Inspector General of the Ministry of Religion Hilmi Muhammadiyah explained that radicalism in Indonesia actually continues to roll like a ball. Its presence seems to continue to undermine the sense of nationalism, unity and unity, and cause unrest in society.
So that radicalism does not continue to spread, all elements of society must block this understanding so that it is not misled. Because not only the general public is prone to radicalism, there are not a few followers of this understanding from the educated circles. This certainly must be a particular concern for educators in order to always provide understanding about national insight.
Anti-radicalism activist Haidar Alwi said that in Indonesia, there are 3 types of radicalism. First is radicalism in faith. Radicalism like this is someone who always values others as infidels.
Such radicalism often provides judgment or judgment that someone will go to hell unless his group / group.
The second type of radicalism is action. In this type, Haidar gave an example like the Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD) group. The result of his observations is, JAD is a group that always justifies any means, including carrying out murders in the name of religion.
Of course radicalism is still a serious threat to the survival of the life of the nation and state. Deputy V Presidential Chief of Staff (KSP) Jaleswari Pramodhawardani acknowledged that the problem of radicalism in Indonesia had begun to increase in the last 10 years.
According to him, over the past 10 years the alarm of radicalism in Indonesia has actually sounded, including when Indonesia is conducting an election agenda that is often accompanied by increased intolerance in Indonesia.

Not infrequently these acts of violence can cause casualties and leave a very deep sorrow.
When viewed from a religious point of view, the word radicalism can be interpreted as a religious understanding that refers to a very high religious foundation, so that not infrequently adherents of that understanding / sect use violence to people of different understandings / radicals to actualize the religious understanding that is embraced and trusted for forcefully accepted.
Those who think radically, will assume that acts such as bomb terror, attacking the authorities or destroying houses of worship of other religions are part of jihad.
Even if some of its members die, the radical group will consider the deceased as someone who longs for heaven.
Economic problems turned out to also be a cause for a person to immediately believe in radical figures because they are considered to be able to bring drastic changes to life. In addition, the education or teaching of religion which is wrong by educators by giving wrong teachings is also a source of cause for people to become radical.
Suoaya understands that radicalism does not continue to spread, so all elements of society must block this understanding so that it is not misled. Because not only the general public is prone to radicalism, there are not a few followers of this understanding from the educated circles.
If radicals teach violence, it is certainly not in accordance with the teachings of Islam in Indonesia, because iIslamslam has the meaning of peace, and Islamic Da’wah aims to spread love and kindness, not an attitude of mutual hatred and hurt.
