Erfina Fuadatul Khilmi’s Public Defence Examination
[KALIURANG]; Saturday (10/08), at 10.00 WIB, the Erfina Fuadatul Khlimi’s Public Defense Examination for Doctoral Promotion was held by the doctoral study program in law (PSHPD) Faculty of Law (FH) Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) with a dissertation entitled “Reconceptualization of Content Material Regarding Interfaith Harmony in the Regional Regulation of East Java Province Number 8 of 2018 Concerning the Implementation of Tolerance in Community Life.”
Erfina Fuadatul Khilmi present that the East Java Provincial Tolerance Regulation was formed as an instrument that is expected to facilitate the provincial government in dialogue and reconciliation to prevent intolerant and discriminatory attitudes towards fundamental issues of East Java society (related to diversity of ethnicity, race, religion, class and socio-economic). However, the use of regional authority in the content of this Tolerance Regulation has caused excessive euphoria of regional autonomy regarding the maintenance of interfaith harmony.
The doctoral candidate continued, that the Article 1 section (5) of the East Java Provincial Tolerance Regulation defines tolerance as a willingness to recognize and respect the civil rights of the Community in accepting differences in religious, cultural, and social diversity as well as special conditions in community, national and state life. The term “special conditions” in the material content of the Regulation is full of the risk of being misunderstood because the benchmark used is the mainstreaming of individual rights as demanded within liberal boundaries, so that it is not limited by the values of civilized tolerance in local community life, especially in East Java Province.
So it is important to reconceptualize the material content regarding religious harmony in the East Java Provincial Tolerance Regulation to realize civilized tolerance. There are at least two formulations of the problem raised by the doctoral candidate, namely: Why is the material content of the East Java Provincial Regulation Number 8 of 2018 concerning the Implementation of Tolerance in Community Life regarding the protection of religious harmony not in accordance with the laws and regulations above it; How is the reconceptualization of the content of religious harmony in the Regional Regulation of East Java Province Number 8 of 2018 concerning the Implementation of Tolerance in Community Life based on Pancasila.
