One fact is indisputable in the history of Indonesia is the existence of Christian and secular understanding the spread in this country. Survey Central Statistics Agency (BPS) in 2005 mentioned, the number of people affiliated with Protestant Christians in Indonesia reached 12.96 million, while the Catholic ranged from approximately 6.94 million, 208.82 million people Indonesia. When dipersentase, the amount is not less than 10 percent. This amount was ranked second and third largest after Islam as the religious affiliation of the population of Indonesia. Behind the new follow Hinduism and Buddhism in smaller quantities.
The fact of the existence of these religions, especially Catholic and Protestant, made matters of inter-religious relations become very serious business in this country. In fact, whenever there are public policies that are considered in favor of the majority of people, get a barrage of cliches about the diversity argument (plurality) religion in this country. As there will be ratified at the National Education Law of 2003 and the bill as a tax deduction of Zakat, the Islamic finance bill, and so on. Kick to hit him has never changed: "in this country live also other religions," even though the amount is not significant.
One other moment that is often used is, they consider Islam to have no political power in this country, as evidenced by the defeat of labeled Islamic parties in elections. This fact is immediately used as the premise to support their conclusion that Islam did not have the power so it does not need to be taken into account. Strange logic indeed because at the time of defending the interests of religious minorities, which is calculated is the number of adherents, while speaking of Islam will find precisely the acquisition of his voice. This is likely to be to play down the existence and role of Islam in this country.
Stranger still when looking at text books in circulation history lesson. Anyone who wants to know to come and the development of Christianity and Catholicism in Indonesia will bite the finger that will not find in textbooks history lesson at school. In fact, the explanation of the spread of other religions (Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism), can easily be found there even if not always balanced and proportionate. Call it the latest curriculum of history textbooks for high school Class XI semester 1, will be found the story about Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam, but until the end of the discussion, none of them found the story of Christianity in Indonesia.
It could be that this is the fruit simalakama of Indonesia-centric view of history. Because want to make history from the perspective of Indonesia, but ruled out the fact that Islam is a living became a fad majority of Indonesia-centric view is anti to the Dutch (colonial). In the formula "hero" too, anyone who is anti-Dutch and fought against the Dutch will be considered a hero. In contrast, supported and pro-Dutch considered the enemy, without considering the complexity of historical fact melatarinya. Sultan Hasanuddin in Makassar considered a "hero" Aru sementaran Palaka considered "enemy" because of assisted VOC, even though both are at war not necessarily because of support or reject the Netherlands.
This is what might make the framers of the history curriculum in the country difficult to put the position of Christians in this country. Historical facts very clearly demonstrate that there is a positive correlation between dantangnya since the colonial Portuguese, Spanish, to the Netherlands with the spread of Christianity and Catholicism in this country. Meanwhile, on the other side of colonialism is considered as an "enemy". When a naked Christian history is taught as part of the story of colonialism, then there will be the impression of "hostility" toward Christianity. Christian cornered and is considered to have no right to live in this country. Options like this will certainly not desired by the state.
However, let the Christian position "no story" was not a good option. It just keep coal in the husk of Islamic-Christian hostility in many places. When many people know that Christianization is part of colonialism will be easily ignited to antagonize the public "official enemy state". Instead of the bhinekaan can be maintained, it could potentially cause turbulence that can not be controlled because it was born out of frustration over the "official lie" of the state.
Surprisingly again, the choice falls on precisely the state ideology of secularism bhinekaan to accommodate all the religions in this country even though there was never an official text of laws that recognize this. Secularism is not an ideology that comes with no history in this country. Like Christianity, secularism is actually the biological child of colonialism. When the choice fell to it, actually committed suicide because the country was in favor of what he regards as "the enemy". (The facts about Christianity and secularism can be seen in the book History of the National Indonesia New Perspectives, Vol. 2).
Blunders and lack of clarity about the Indonesia-centric conception of historical writing in Indonesian society eventually led to difficulty in perceiving the "Indonesian-ness" it. Because, with the perspective of history "confused" as it is then teaches in schools through the state's official curriculum. Naturally, when the then citizens of this nation can never be clearly demonstrated its identity as "Indonesia". Problems Reog Ponorogo dance and batik sued, then became a big issue to threaten Indonesia-Malaysia bilateral relations and offending perpotensi national and regional stability. This is a sign of how shallow understanding of the citizens of this nation over the meanings of "to-Indonesiaan her".
Countries should be honest and transparent in revealing facts and reality of history if you want to lay a solid foundation in interfaith relations in this country. Countries also need to be more wise and courageous peace with the fact that the value system and life of the nation is built firmly on the ground to Islamization. By digging "Islam" as the basis of nationality, the country will have a fundamental force in maintaining inter-religious relations. Therefore, Islam provides a set of rules covering all aspects of human life, including ordinances relating to the adherents of different religions and beliefs.
