Abstract:
This study responded to nationalism issue, which has been criticized by radical groups that are deemed discordant with Islam. Indonesian nationalism ideology is the result of national compromise through conflicting interest. Timothy's theory stated that the competitive nature is striving to be synergy, reciprocal and complementary without any victory or defeat. Therefore, Indonesian nationalism is an ideology that is competitive but being complementary, so that Islamic groups and secular nationalists have no winner or loser. This competitiveness gets a meeting point in Pancasila (kalimah sawa'), in which it is as a prismatic ideology with a middle ground (wasathiyah), so both of them cannot be dichotomized. For the nationalist group, Pancasila is a form of a religious nation. Muslim groups assume that Pancasila is a portrait of a state nation based on monotheism. In this case, nationalism is in tune with Islam because it has been enclosed in maqashid shari'a. Without nationalism ideology, it will cause in various aspects of life. The radical Islamic group stated Indonesia as infidel country because Islamic law does not applied perfectly, such as stoning, hudud and qishash. However, these forms of law can be reduced through its benefit or maqashid shari'a.
