Abstract
This article investigates the Wahhabi movement in three Saudi-funded schools in the world’s most populous Muslim nation of Indonesia. Wahhabism is a reformist Sunni Islamic movement established in Nejd, Saudi Arabia in the 18th Century that underpins Saudi state ideology and law. Its ideology, rooted in puritanism, has been exported to non-Muslim nations around the world with a reformist agenda. In looking at the phenomena of exporting reformation, agenda directed the article to examine how Wahhabi scholars in Indonesia work to negotiate the local cultural practices of Muslim community; that is, how they seek to cleanse Islam from cultural influence, and as a result, often end up producing social violence in communities. Further, the article explores responses to Wahhabi deculturalization discourses and how local people negotiate their religious identities as they are transformed and influenced by Wahhabi teachings and ideology. In doing so, I look at the role of Wahhabi discourses in shaping radicalism and how individuals who identify as Wahhabi understand and engage radical practices their striving towards the establishment of an Islamic and sharia state.
