What is Islamic Religiosity and Social Tolerance?
Islamic Religiosity and Social Tolerance examines correlations between Islamic religiosity dimensions like orthodoxy, orthopraxy, and experiential aspects and attitudes toward social tolerance, primarily through surveys and quantitative models in multicultural Indonesia.
Researchers analyze how piety levels influence pluralism and multiculturalism attitudes among Indonesian Muslims. Studies employ survey data and statistical modeling to link religiosity with tolerance outcomes (Subchi et al., 2022, 127 citations). Over 10 key papers from 2005-2022 explore these dynamics, with foundational works addressing radicalism's role (Lim, 2005, 68 citations).
Why It Matters
This subtopic informs policies countering religious intolerance in Indonesia's diverse society, where moderate Islam serves as a national strategy against radicalism (Subchi et al., 2022). It guides Islamic education reforms to foster pluralism, as seen in school-based moderation programs (Husna and Thohir, 2020). Insights shape global understanding of religion-state relations, highlighting Muhammadiyah's liberal outlook amid homogenization pressures (Burhani, 2018; Makin, 2017).
Key Research Challenges
Measuring Religiosity Dimensions
Distinguishing orthodoxy, orthopraxy, and experiential religiosity requires validated scales amid cultural variations in Indonesia. Surveys often face response biases in sensitive tolerance questions (Subchi et al., 2022). Longitudinal data scarcity hinders causality assessments (Machmudi, 2008).
Quantifying Tolerance Attitudes
Social tolerance metrics vary across multiculturalism, liberalism, and anti-radicalism contexts, complicating cross-study comparisons. Indonesian surveys link religiosity inversely to tolerance under radical influences (Lim, 2005). Standardized models remain underdeveloped (Burhani, 2018).
Contextualizing Radicalism Effects
Internet propagation and political Islam like PKS intensify religiosity-tolerance tensions, demanding mixed-method approaches. Persecution cases reveal homogenization risks (Makin, 2017). Integrating local traditions with global Islam poses analytical hurdles (Ali, 2011).
