«Изобретенные традиции» индонезийского либерального ислама 2000-х – первой половины 2010-х годов

Abstract

The author analyzes the problems of the ideology of liberal Islam as a political invented tradition of modern Indonesia. Liberal Islam became one of the marginal trends in recent Indo-nesian history. Its genesis became the result of the politicization of Islam as a form of ideologi-cal opposition in the period of the new order and the accelerated democratization that began in the late 1990s. Secularization gave an impetus to the emergence of liberal Islam. The artificial character of liberal Islam is actualized through its marginality. Ideologues of Indonesian Islam tried to popularize the invented political traditions of human rights, freedom, democracy, and tolerance. The political message of liberal Islam was not understood by society because liberal Muslims used Western cultural code. Therefore, liberal Indonesian Islam existed as an invented tradition that became a radical attempt to transplant Western values into post-colonial society.
