The importance of government groups and non-governmental organizations to sow and strengthen moderate Islam through education, whether formal, informal, or non-formal. Muhammadiyah and NU, which were labeled as moderate Islam from the start, are likely to play an important role in empowering moderate Islam in Indonesia. It is time for moderate religious mass organizations, such as NU and Muhammadiyah, to direct religious groups to channel their religious militancy through wisdom, not terror and bloodshed.
