ISLAMISME DAN KONSTRUKSI GERAKAN POLITIK PARTAI KEADILAN SEJAHTERA DAN HIZB TAHRIR INDONESIA DI SULAWESI SELATAN

Abstract

In the scheme of organization, Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) and Hizb Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) are historically and ideologically bound in a solid emotional relationship. The two organizations are basically rooted in a transnational Islamic movement although in later devel- opment they ultimately develop their movements in different spheres; PKS focuses at the level of intra parliamentary with a formal political label whereas HTI concentrates at the level of extra parliamentary as a non-formal organizational movement. HTI, which openly refuses the system of democracy, as a matter of fact benefits significantly from de- mocracy in Indonesia as a “political blessing.” HTI strongly criticizes the system of democracy in Indonesia and as a substitute proposes the system of Khilafah. Ironically, HTI gains freedom to perform its move- ment, to speak, and to campaign as Indonesia applies democracy.
