DINAMIKA RELASI SOSIAL-KEAGAMAAN MASYARAKAT AHMADIYAH DAN NON-AHMADIYAH

Abstract

Religious sentiment is often called as primary factor behind the many cases of violent conflict in Indonesia. Nevertheless, many contemporary studies on conflict and peace showed that trigger variables of conflict are not only varied but also layered and unique. This article reveals about the relational model and management between JAI (Jemaat Ahmadiyah Indonesia/Indonesian Ahmadiyya Community) and non-JAI in the rural Manislor. By phenomenology, this study looked at the depth of relations, perceptions, and conceptions of both groups; and by genetic structuralism of Bourdieu, this study revealed the relationships that unite and integrate of these two groups. Some of the findings appeared that besides the theological factor, the variables such as group sentiments, space separation, identity polemic, economical jealousy, political jealousy and elite interference, contribute to the segregation and conflict between them. Thus, this is the the strengthening of social bonding such as local habituations and local wisdoms is an urgent matter to build a suistainable peace. As well as the agents of civil society, with their own way, must be readily to care and control the mechanisms of conflict resolution.
