Indonesia is one of countries that has over population in the world. According to minister of domestic affair, Indonesia has 279 people in 2011. Because of that, religion has an important role to socialize. The element of religion also showed in the first order of Pancasila: the belief in God Almighty. However, there are five religion recognized in Indonesia: Islam, Protestant, Catholic, Buddha and Hindu that collectively effected in politic, economy and culture case in Indonesia. The 5 recognized religions and various religious sect in Indonesia often made conflicts among religious communities effected by SARA happened. The main cause of the conflict is the lack understanding of the first order of Pancasila. The lack senses of tolerance among human being in Indonesia is one of reasons caused the conflict. So, we need to act in order to create a civil society by virtue of Pancasila.
Pancasila is a basic moral value in the Indonesian social life. It means that every activity of Indonesian as to socialize and nationalize regulated by Pancasila because it is as a basic measurer of moral value and norm in Indonesia.
The first order in Pancasila is “The belief in God Almighty”. This sentence has religious values:
-
It is a form of faith what is the most right owned by human as a creatures of the Lord.
-
Indonesia guarantees a freedom to each people to do their religious service based on their faith.
-
The government not allowed its peoples becomes an Atheis, not has a faith and belief.
-
The government developing a good relation among religious society to make harmonious situation.
The belief in God Almightly can be described into some important point, commonly called the particle of Pancasila:
-
Indonesian expresses their belief and faith into the God Almighty.
-
Indonesian believes of the God based on each of their faith according to their humanity that is just and civilized.
-
Pancasila develops attitudes of respect and cooperate among religious community although they have different faith.
-
Pancasila build harmony life inter-religious communities.
-
Religion and belief about God is a personal matter between people and their God.
-
It also gives a freedom to people to doing their religious service according to their beliefe.
-
Pancasila didn’t force someone to determine their belief.
Although in Indonesia has Pancasila as its ideology, conflicts and clashes among religious communities still happened. The factor of the clashes and the conflicts are:
-
The absence of efficacy of Pancasila and UUD 1945, the foundation of Republik of Indonesia. In addition, we also easily loose only because the amendments of UUD 45 and the effort to change our ideology to a particular religion.
-
The lack of respect among religious community and a fellow religion in Indonesia.
-
There arises a misunderstanding among religious community and a fellow religion because a miscommunication.
-
The distinction of tribes and races and also the difference of religion become strong reasons that invite a division.
One example of conflicts is a different opinion among Islamic groups as FPI (Islamic Defender Sector) and Muhammadiyah, although both of them based on the same sources: Al-Qur’an and Hadits. Another example is when the case about Yasmin Church in Bogor established, it is invite a division among religious society, particularly between Islam and Christian. Conflict about religion more heavy on hand compared with other conflict because it can leave a deep mark, no one could be neutral fronting the conflict. Whereas, tribes conflict can be solve by a regulation and politic conflict can be solve only by giving a concession. Both of the conflict can be solve quickly without cause a deep mark, except a conflict about religion.
From the explanation above, we can conclude that a split between religious communities in Indonesia caused by many factors. Hence, best solutions to fight the conflict are:
-
Society have to improve their understanding about the first order of Pancasila:
-
They belief and faith with the God Almighty, suitably with the belief of each of them according to their humanity that is just and civilized.
-
They create a respect and collaboration among religious communities.
-
Every one respect the other believes to do their own religious service.
-
Every one isn’t force someone to follow their beliefe.
-
A dialogue among religious communities,
-
Religious communities in Indonesia has to increase their sense of tolerance,
-
They are also has to grow their awareness of pluralism,
-
That has to make a good relationship among religious communities,
-
Social gap in religion should be destroy as soon as possible,
-
Government can’t stand in one religion side, they have to fair to the other religion.
