NU Must Deal with Members' Persecution of Minorities

Abstract

Since a few months ago, Islam Nusantara or Islam of the Indonesian archipelago, which is the theme of the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) congress this year, has stirred controversy. Even though some NU leaders have stated that the concept is not a new Islamic school of thought, some members and non-NU Muslims, especially those of more conservative views, have accused this term as being misleading.
