Abstract

The development of popular Islamic media in the digital era, associated with an authority shift from traditional to popular religion, has enhanced peoples’ ways of thinking. Ironically, conservative and radical Islamic models have dominated the digital space. Therefore, in response to this phenomenon, this research examines how the mainstreaming strategy of religious moderation is carried out by moderate groups, specifically a non-affiliated Islamic portal called Islami.co, with the tagline “Enlightening and Friendly Islamic Media.” This research also analyzed articles, concepts, and perspectives to determine whether they are in the moderate category using the Jürgen Habermas’ theory of communicative rationality. Furthermore, the essays in the islami.co were analyzed according to three kinds of validity claims, namely truth, accuracy, and honesty. This study concluded that mainstreaming religious moderation through this islami.co’s media significantly impacts the community as a filter from news content or thoughts that do not reflect the Islamic value of mercy to all mankind. Islami.co’s writers continuously endeavor to test conservative-radical Islamic narratives that develop in a society with logical (aqli) and religious (naqli) arguments presented with brief and uncomplicated explanations. The strategy of popular Islamic portals such as islami.co is quite acceptable to middle-class Muslims, as often preached by the fundamentalist groups. Therefore, it is very appropriate to direct islami.co’s target audience to readers from the general public. Keywords: Religious moderation, digital space, Islami.co, communicative rationality, religious authority.
数字空间中宗教节制的主流化:对伊斯兰教的审视。哈贝马斯交往理性视角下的门户网站
数字时代伊斯兰大众媒体的发展,伴随着传统宗教向大众宗教的权威转移,增强了人们的思维方式。具有讽刺意味的是,保守和激进的伊斯兰模式主导了数字空间。因此,针对这一现象,本研究考察了温和派团体,特别是一个名为Islami的非附属伊斯兰门户网站是如何实施宗教温和派的主流化战略的。该网站的标语是“开明友好的伊斯兰媒体”。本研究还运用哈贝马斯的交往理性理论对文章、概念和观点进行了分析,以确定它们是否属于适度范畴。此外,伊斯兰教的文章。根据三种效度要求,即真理、准确性和诚实度来分析。这项研究的结论是,通过这种伊斯兰教,将宗教节制主流化。伊斯兰教的媒体对社会产生了重大影响,过滤掉不符合伊斯兰教仁慈全人类价值观的新闻内容或思想。Islami。柯的作家们不断努力检验保守激进的伊斯兰叙事,这些叙事在一个逻辑(aqli)和宗教(naqli)的社会中发展,并给出了简短而简单的解释。流行的伊斯兰门户网站如islami的策略。正如原教旨主义团体经常鼓吹的那样,中产阶级穆斯林完全可以接受。因此,指导伊斯兰教是非常合适的。公司的目标读者为普通大众读者。关键词:宗教节制,数字空间,伊斯兰教交际理性,宗教权威。
