UIN Jakarta academic discourse on religion and democracy
Overview
Academics at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta have addressed the relationship between religion and democratic practice in Indonesia. During professorial inaugurations, Professor Idris Thaha argued that religion should act as a moral force to correct power rather than serving as a ‘stamp of legitimacy’ for political figures.
Additionally, Professor Bakir Ihsan highlighted a gap between the values of Pancasila and the pragmatic, transactional nature of current political practices, noting that routine elections have not resulted in substantive democratic strengthening.
