Abstract
This article depicts the reality of de-radicalization programmes for former terrorists in Indonesia. The article aims to clarify the central advocates for, and content of, the programmes. There are several institutions that are engaged in de-radicalizing former terrorists, including both government and non-government organizations. The government is represented by the National Counter Terrorism Agency or Badan Nasional Penanggalangan Terorism (BNPT). This article also examines how these institutions play a role in the process of de-radicalization. The actual voices of former terrorists obtained through fieldwork will also be analysed with regard to how they came to regret their actions in order to scrutinize the process of their religious metamorphosis. The concept of forgiveness in Islam will also be discussed. As some might believe that Islam is a religion of punishment, it is worth analysing the merciful side of Islam.
期刊介绍：
Fieldwork in Religion (FIR) is a peer reviewed, interdisciplinary journal seeking engagement between scholars carrying out empirical research in religion. It will consider articles from established scholars and research students. The purpose of Fieldwork in Religion is to promote critical investigation into all aspects of the empirical study of contemporary religion. The journal is interdisciplinary in that it is not limited to the fields of anthropology and ethnography. Fieldwork in Religion seeks to promote empirical study of religion in all disciplines: religious studies, anthropology, ethnography, sociology, psychology, folklore, or cultural studies. A further important aim of Fieldwork in Religion is to encourage the discussion of methodology in fieldwork either through discrete articles on issues of methodology or by publishing fieldwork case studies that include methodological challenges and the impact of methodology on the results of empirical research.
