Abstract

This study discusses the moderation of the Islamic movement in efforts to implement peace between the Government of the Republic of the Philippines and the Moro Nations in the southern Philippines. In this study, the authors use the Moderation Inclusion theory from Schwedler, the Social Movement theory from Sidney Tarrow, and the Wasathiyah Islamic theory. The authors will raise the actors who play a role in the Islamic movement and the factors that cause changes in the pattern of the movement. This research begins with an overview of the prolonged conflict that began with the arrival of the Spanish and Portuguese colonialists in the context of gold, glory, and gospel. The conflict continued after the independence of the Philippines in 1946. The economic gap to discrimination between Catholics in the northern Philippines and Muslims in the southern Philippines was one of the reasons for the continuing conflict. There were changes in the pattern of movements that occurred from the beginning fundamentally by taking up arms and turning into a diplomatic movement, at least caused by two main factors: first, about the paradigm shift that emerged from internal, and second, there was intervention from external, especially the international Islamic world.

Bahasa Abstract

Penelitian ini membahas tentang moderasi gerakan Islam dalam upaya implementasi perdamaian antara Pemerintah Filipina dengan Bangsa Moro di Filipina selatan. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis menggunakan teori Inklusi Moderasi dari Schwedler, teori Gerakan Sosial dari Sidney Tarrow, dan teori Islam Wasathiyah. Penulis akan mengangkat aktor yang berperan dalam gerakan Islam dan faktor yang menyebabkan perubahan pola gerakan tersebut. Penelitian ini dimulai dengan gambaran konflik berkepanjangan yang diawali dengan kedatangan kolonialis Spanyol dan Portugis dalam rangka gold, glory, and gospel. Konflik terus berlangsung pasca kemerdekaan Filipina pada 1946. Kesenjangan ekonomi hingga diskriminasi antara masyarakat Katolik di Filipina utara dan Muslim di Filipina selatan menjadi salah satu penyebab konflik berlanjut. Perubahan pola gerakan yang terjadi dari semula fundamental dengan mengangkat senjata dan berubah menjadi gerakan diplomasi, setidaknya disebabkan oleh dua faktor utama: pertama tentang perubahan paradigma yang muncul dari internal, dan kedua adanya intervensi dari eksternal, khususnya dunia Islam internasional.
