Abstract

This paper discusses one example of an effort to respond to the widespread understanding of radicalism among young Indonesians. This study is considered important because there have not been many efforts made by various groups that target young people. Al-Fatâ Bulletin (Muslim Muda Indonesia) is the result of a collaboration between The Political Literaracy Institute, Convey Indonesia and PPIM UIN Jakarta on August 25, 2017. The purpose of this publication is to convey the peaceful messages of Islam. Using descriptive analysis, the authors discusses how Al- Fata bulletin which is published on every Friday relates its content to tolerance and nationalism in the emergence of religious radicalism in the country.This study finds that the management of al-Fata deploys four steps in present the content of the bulletin, first, by describing the sources of Islam, such as the Qur'an and Hadith and citing several interpretations and traditions of the hadith according to the theme raised. Secondly, by describing the current issues and some social realities faced by society today. Third, by discussing the dimensions of tolerance and nationalism with relevant religious messages. Finally, by providing religious messages in achieving peace for the reader. By applying these four steps, they are able to send peaceful messages of Islam (rahmatan lil alamin) in the frame of Tolerance and Nationalism. In other words, they send the messages that are opposed to religious radicalism.
