Abstract
This article explores contemporary development of a minority of Muslim in the largest Muslim country Indonesia. It closely examines the minority Muslim Papuan and looks at the construction and the institutionalisation of Muslim identity in post-special autonomy (otonomi khusus) of Papua. Through a series of fieldwork in Jayapura, the capital of the Papua Province, in 2016 and reviews of documents, the article argues that the Council of Papuan Muslim (Majelis Muslim Papua/MMP) serves not only a the association of minority Muslim Papuan but also as a political instrument for the minority to fight for equality in Papuan public sphere. Importantly, the Muslim Papuan try reconcile the popular, but contradicted, notion of Muslim -and Islam- as newcomer -if not to mention as the colonial- in Papua and the presence of Muslim as a symbolic expectation for progress of the Papuan in general. Thus, the institutionalization of Islam, through the establishment of The Majelis Muslim Papua in Papua resorts as an ample case where multiculturalism is tested in contemporary Indonesia.
这篇文章探讨了最大的穆斯林国家印度尼西亚穆斯林少数民族的当代发展。它仔细研究了巴布亚的少数民族穆斯林,并着眼于在巴布亚的特殊自治(otonomi khusus)后穆斯林身份的建构和制度化。透过2016年在巴布亚省首府查亚普拉(Jayapura)的一系列田野调查及文献检视,本文认为巴布亚穆斯林理事会(Majelis Muslim Papua/MMP)不仅是巴布亚穆斯林少数族群的协会,也是巴布亚少数族群争取公共领域平等的政治工具。重要的是,穆斯林巴布亚人试图调和穆斯林和伊斯兰教作为巴布亚的新来者(更不用说作为殖民地)的流行但相互矛盾的观念,以及穆斯林作为巴布亚整体进步的象征期望的存在。因此,伊斯兰教的制度化,通过在巴布亚建立Majelis穆斯林巴布亚,作为多元文化主义在当代印度尼西亚受到考验的一个例子。
