RADICALISM IN RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Higher education is increasingly vulnerable to being exposed to various ideologies. As a result, it becomes a fertile and promising field for radicalism. This is because most tertiary institutions have not fortified and equipped their students with the spirit of nationalism to filter all kinds of incoming ideologies.

The ideological factor is complicated to eradicate in the short term and requires careful planning because it believes in solid religious emotions. However, this factor can only be destroyed permanently through the entrance to education (gentle treatment) utilizing evolutionary deradicalization involving all elements.

The problem of radicalization has spread in several areas, including universities. However, radical understanding has experienced a lot of camouflage according to the place and condition; these ideas have infiltrated the skin through student activities by providing funding for good reception and big smiles. This condition indicates that students are vulnerable to radicalism, influenced by religious, psychological, and socio-political attitudes.
