Some time we ask, why terorism arise recently, after event of WTC destruction. Whereas, terorism may arise before. I think it has any relationship with George Bush statement after WTC destruction, that the crusade has begined. So, what is the source of radicalismin Islam ?
If we note some recently event, some people (expert) try to look for what is the main reason of radicalism in Indonesia. They discuss this popular theme in several conference, and the conclusion is, the source of radicalism in Indonesia is material teaching in pesantren, that include islamic ideology and exlusive doctrine. The solution of this problem is change the fuction of pesantren, that at first as spreader of ideology to only as educator of islamic material not islamic ideology and the pioneer of economical growing.
If we back to about 1300 years ago and later, at this time, Islamic caliphate became the central of culture and civilization in the world, especially in Fatimid. In this era, all of religion free to worship to each their God. So with the islamic sect, they are free to do their sect, only in field of law, they have to follow Shia concept. Moreover, there are public officials with christian religion, but they expert in it fields. In this period, all people feel safe, properous, and the nation grow up in all field, politic, economy, knowledge, agriculture and other. There is no radicalism from Islam as majority people to other. We know, that islamic ideology hold strongly by Shia. But it is not become a reason of arise ofradicalism. So, islamic ideology not one of a reason of radicalism.
If we note to the event later. There is much effort from several person/community to excommunicate Islam. Something that avoid in Islam, done by them, like making caricature of the prophet, burning of al-Quran, spread insult film like �innocent of Islam�, and the other. Of course, this deeds, make moslems in the world angry, and motivate them to provide resistence. In the other case, moslems always be considered wrong when moslems try to guide the purity of Islam. When there are some people who claim to be a prophet after Muhammad, then moslems try to avoid this, because has tarnish of purity of Islam doctrine that state there is not prophet after Muhammad, the moslems will be judged wrong, because they have against the expression freedom. Let we think. What will we do if some people insult our family ?, just quiet or defend our family. Likewise, some case, rise the movement that named himself as Islam, but the doctrine so far from real Islam, like Lia Eden, Ahmadiah, and other. This movement can make Islam doctrine not clear. The moslems feel have obligation to guide the purity of Islam, and it be called as radicalism in Islam by other group.
The conclusion of this analysis is, the source of radicalism in Islam is not the islamic ideology its self, but the source of radicalism in Islam is intolerant from other group, that deliberate ignite the angry of moslems. If all of people in this world have the same thought, to secure the world, there is no will to distrube the other, and effort all of interest with justice way, we sure there is radicalism in the world.
