Revisiting Indonesian public reactions against Danish cartoons depicting prophet Muhammad
This paper revisits the case of cartoon controversy in 2006, particularly focusing on the way in which the Indonesian public reacted against the twelve Muhammad Danish cartoons by the Jylands-Posten published in September 30,2005. The study remains relevant as the case reflects not only Muslims’ reac-
tion against the blasphemy theologically but it also mirrors the new face of Indonesian Islam in the reform era which has given birth to a new free public space in which new differing ideologies emerged and were propagated in vari ous media. This study particularly focuses on the selected thirteen op-ed pieces
and one interview published by the Indonesian online media in January 2006—three pieces published by Hidayatullah, one posted in a personal website, two published by Kompas, two by The Jakarta Post, one by Gatra, three by Tempo one op-ed and one interview by JIL (Islamic Liberal Network). My analysis of
these works reveals two groups with different arguments: radical and conserva tive return to their theological foundation to retaliate the cartoonists who committed blasphemy against their prophet, whereas liberals and progressive Indonesians rely on reasoning and draw cultural values in expressing their appraisals of the vilifying images.
