520 |a The discourse of religious pluralism and its development in Indonesia has opened a remarkable new chapter in 2005 since the issuance of MUI's fatwa on secularism, pluralism and liberalism and the death of Nurcholish Madjid. The two events caused the clash between the successors of Nurcholish who continued to promote religious pluralism and the opponents of religious pluralism who support the issuance of the fatwā. Nurcholish Madjid also known as Cak Nur (1939-2005) was a well-known scholar in Indonesia. He had tremendous influence in the development of contemporary discourse on religious pluralism in Indonesia. According to Nurcholish, religious pluralism is sunnat Allāh (law of Allah) that is impossible to be denied. Consequently, religious diversity has to be acknowledged and accepted. This study investigates the continuation of the discourse on religious pluralism and Nurcholish's influence on its development after his death. This research seeks to explicate Nurcholish's views and arguments on religious pluralism and to examine the developments of contemporary discourse on religious pluralism in Indonesia after him. It attempts to show his contribution to the successive discourse of the proponents of religious pluralism. Another primary focus of this research is to evaluate the main arguments presented by the opponents of religious pluralism in Indonesia, led by MUI and followed by Muslim intellectuals with special reference to the doctrines of the ultimate Reality, absolute truth claims, chosenness and salvation. The findings of this study indicate that religious pluralism discourse in Indonesia is still rampant and has great influence on Indonesian society—with negative implications—despite facing great opposition from mainstream Muslims. Although, this humble research has limitations in term of its scope, hopefully it would be able to contribute to the body of knowledge on religious pluralism and provoke further discussion on it.
