Abstract
Some Islamic groups think that Islam should be the foundation of the state, and that the system/form of state compatible with Islam is khilafah (an Islamic state encompassing the whole world) and enforcing sharia (Islamic laws) as the constitution. This study aims to test theoretical model about attitude toward khilafah establishment (political attitude) in three Islamic fundamentalist groups. Based on social identity theory, system justification theory and social cognitive motivation approach, this study tries to understand how psychological needs (thee need of uncertainty avoidance and the need of threat management), Islamic ideologies (salafi ideology and daula Islam ideology), and group identification influence attitude toward khilafah establishment and sharia enforcement. Analyses of data from 384 members of JAT (Jamaah Anshoru Tauhid), MMI (Majelis Mujahidin Indonesia) and HTI (Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia) who participated in the research showed a fit in each group between the proposed model and data. Each group showed variability in strength of structural relationshop between variables. Results of this study give theoretical and empirical implications about political attitudes of spme Islamic fundamentalist groups in Indonesia.
