Dimensions of Inclusive Interactions as a Response to the Existence of the Indonesian Ahmadiyah Community

Abstract

The article seeks to reveal the inclusive interactions in a pluralist community based on the interactional case study between Indonesian Ahmadiyah Congregation (JAI) and Muhammadiyah Mubaligh as well as Nahdhatul Ulama (NU) Board in Bandung. The facts indicate that most of Islamic organizations in Indonesia agree with the fatwa of MUI (Indonesian Law-Making Agency) that Ahmadiyyah is a heretical sect. Nevertheless, the actualized interaction between JAI and Muhammadiyah Mubaligh as well as NU Board in Bandung reflects the inclusive interaction that was built naturally, so that its dimensions were able to be formulated. The inclusive interaction had dimensions built on understanding among the actors who interact in interpreting the assurance of constitutional protection, the construction of a conducive state policy, and the basic principles and values of a community.The assurance of constitutional protection meets the principles of the internal freedom protection, external freedom, and corporate freedom and legal status. Such a conducive state policy construction was developed to meet the character and strength with high cohesion, facilitative, and non-discriminative. The massive social principles and values was developed to meet the values of enhancing trust, compassion, justice, and tolerance. In this case, the basic principles and values of a community is the determinant factor of inclusive interaction strength.
