"INTOLERANCE IN SOCIAL LIFE"

Abdul Rahman Prakoso

The social problems that exist in society today are not merely economic spheres but are related to everything in people's lives. If the first community in general just for how to tomorrow to survive. But in the current era of social progress concerning all aspects of life, including religious life and security within the community.

According to Jimly Asshiddiqie in the national dialogue paper on religious tolerance, In the internal religious community, more and moreevolved strange flow that grows free and dynamic uncontrollably. The muballighs who appear on television more and more by adjusting to the 'rating' and mixed with humor and comedy, while in the society of the assemblies of dhikr and assembly ta'lim develop with schools and schools of their own thoughts,including those from the influence of transnational groups from the Middle East,Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan and Bangladesh, Sudan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and even Turkey. On the other hand, the phenomenon of terrorist groups also continues to emerge, even though they have been crushed, continue to appear again, as if broken-grew, disappearing.

According to the Great Indonesian Dictionary, Religion is a system that regulates the faith and worship to God Almighty and the rules related to the interaction of man and man and the environment. Religion as the foundation of life that governs the social order of society as well as to provide the right way according to the guidance of God.

Any religion regulates the way of life in the community side by side with different religious beliefs. In Indonesia alone, there are six religions recognized by the government, Islam, Christian, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhist, Khong Hu Chu coupled with the flow of Belief or Confidence. Based on the 2010 population census data conducted by the Central Bureau of Statistics, Islam is ranked first among the largest religious leaders, with a total adherent of 207 million more followers of Islam than a total of more than 237 million.

According to Jimly Asshiddiqie in a national dialogue on religious tolerance, the Report by the end of 2013, along with the approach of the 2014 election year, it does not show an increase in reports and complaints about cases of violations of the right to freedom of religion. However, these cases, many of which are not reported at all to National Committee on Human Rights, as the focus of public attention is turning to electoral issues. In addition, the cases handled by National Committee on Human Rights themselves as official institutions, nor did they end with a thorough completion, related to the responsibilities of relevant government agencies for their follow-up.

The conflict of religious freedom intolerance in the community is of particular concern in the second quarter of 2018. There are so many stories that mention the terrorist acts committed by terrorists. Whether done in places of worship as well as public facilities public, even in places of government agencies or law enforcement agencies themselves.

The security of worship according to religion or religious belief each becomes important, because worship requires kekhusyu'an to ask God or communicate to God. The domain of Religion is now a good political communication material to approach the Election of Head of Region in 2018 and Presidential Election Year 2019.

The social dynamics of society today that are being shaken by security and conduciveness caused by bombing action because society feel insecure again in doing life routine. Although law enforcers make the statement that the condition of the community is safe, the community remains anxious. Especially in the era of communication progress at this time that many news lie, not sure the truth makes the society meras not safe anymore.

Terrorism does not represent any religion, but people often know that terrorists are in the name of Islamic religion. Yet such perceptions should be omitted from the thinking of the people by providing information that is truly in accordance with the facts. Terrorists just make noise in people's lives, never benefit any party. This action is just a fear to the community to do activities of life.

According to Casram in the journal Scientific Religion and Social Culture, the emergence of awareness among religious people embodied in tolerance can suppress or minimize clashes between them. Moto agree in disagreement becomes a strong social capital in religious tolerance. The developed religious tolerance not only rewards the theology and faith of individual religions and religious people, but also understands and respects the culture of the faithful. Religious tolerance can provide support for the formation of civil society inspired by supernatural values.

In the book "Religious Tolerance in conflict prone areas" published by ICRR, Tolerance and intolerance cannot be separated from the internal and external factors of the religious community. Internal are religious figures, religious broadcasting materials, and religious institutions. When these three components agree to jointly build tolerance, it becomes the motor for tolerance. Clear and public rules are the elements of reducing and even eliminating conflict. The rules concerning the establishment of houses of worship, the rules of religious broadcasting, etc. that are known by all parties to be a reference in guiding the community to stand parallel to the law.

The educational institution is where the spirit of harmony exists. Educational institutions that synergize with educational institutions of other faiths or contain and teach the value of tolerance is a good example in maintaining togetherness among religions. The role of educational institutions to give knowledge to students to determine the thinking of future learners. Building tolerance in the life of society is not only done by the community itself but also must be done together with the government. The government should hold the protection of the people to create a sense of security in social life. Communities as subjects in life must be able to recognize whatever causes social conflict.
