Islamophobia and Counter-Terrorism Policies in Indonesia
Abstract
This research aims to develop the comprehension of the presence of an Islamophobic outlook in counter-terrorism measures in Indonesia. This outlook affects both the process of formulating and implementing counter-terrorism policies. This undergoes a process of institutionalization by interpreting terrorism in statutory regulations because it crept through a formal structure while formulating the policy. By using a qualitative approach, and content and critical analysis, this research investigates three cases of the implementation of the counter-terrorism policies: the screening of Muhammad and Ali’s names at Soekarno Hatta airport, contradiction in the status of the bomber by Leopard at the Taman Anggrek Mall, and the identification of Siyono as an extreme Islamic activist. We argue that the implementation of counter-terrorism policies encounters accountability issues, especially regarding the emergence of authority abuse and double standards during implementation. It confirms the public perception that the counter-terrorism policy is imbued with hostility towards Islam.
