Aceh has its own privileges
IndonesiaSince tens of years ago I was born in aceh
**Aceh was the first province in the western part of Indonesia, and what happened there after the signing of the Helsinki MoU in 2005 became very iconic in the context of the multiculturalism problem in Indonesia. **
Because recently, in the easternmost regions of Indonesia, namely in the province of West Papua, also has begun to appear a push toward the formalization of religion through the controversy about what
Seeing Indonesia from Aceh will give us an interesting picture of the Indonesian state after the Suharto era.
In contrast to some assumptions about the weakening of the people's state after the New Order's authorized regime of authorization collapsed, the formalization of Aceh has shown that the state is still very powerful in determining the fate of its people.
As a way to dampen conflict or as a space where the clerical elite regain its traditional role and status in the changing society of Aceh, the central state plays a decisive role. Through the formalization initiative, the central government has created a socio-political condition that makes Aceh's elite and people mired in what has been historically claimed as Aceh's identity almost exclusively: Islam. In another phrase, the busyness of the elite and the people of Aceh with the formalization of Islamic Sharia is nothing else
is the process of political deradicalization precisely by bringing the role and status of ulama back to the center of local political discourse and practice in Aceh.
The recognition of the specialties of the Special Territory of Aceh is based on the constitutional journey of the Republic of Indonesia which places Aceh as a special and special regional government unit, linked to the distinctive character of the Acehnese people's struggle and endurance history. Resilience and high fighting power is sourced from a view of life based on Islamic shari'ah that gave birth to a strong Islamic culture, so that Aceh became one of the areas of capital for the struggle in seizing and maintaining the independence of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia
