This is believed to be important because our social and religious life is increasingly colored by the strengthening of divisive identity politics, intolerance, the weakening of the ideology of the nation and the like. Various elements of society are exposed to destructive radicalism. Not only ordinary people, there are also many state civil servants (ASN) who are infected with radicalism. Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu even said that there are 3 percent of TNI (Indonesian Military) members who are exposed to radicalism (19/6/2019). If the TNI as a state fortress is exposed, we can clearly imagine how strong this radicalism current is.

Finance Minister Sri Mulyani has also dared to speak out loudly to his ranks not to become exclusive leaders, voice hatred, and become parasites for the state and society (17/6/2019). Several ministries also have the same anxiety and there is even a confusing condition as to how to deal with civil servants who are starting to be affected by the radical teaching. Researches and surveys conducted by various institutions, both from the campuses and NGOs, have provided adequate data that radicalism and intolerance continue to surge in our social life. The joints of national life continue to be shaken.
