Renegotiating Indonesian secularism through debates on Ahmadiyya and Shia
Philosophy and Social Criticism 1–12

Abstract
Commentators have mainly viewed the Ahmadiyya debate in Indonesia either as a controversy over heterodoxy or as an episode raising questions about the human rights of ‘religious minorities’. Instead, I suggest viewing these debates as a field of normative questions of secularism in which the claims of religious are renegotiated in response to the fragmentation of religious and political authority brought on by a diversification of the use of media and a loss of trust in the Indonesian post-Suharto democracy, and between normative questions of secularism.
Keywords: Ahmadiyya, heresy, Indonesia, Islam, secularism
