Abstract
In Indonesian national system of education, Islamic religious education is compulsory for all levels of formal education. Taking into account such a position, Islamic religious education is potentially strategic in responding to some of the main issues in religious life. One issue examined in this paper is radicalism that continues to overshadow the dynamics of religious life in Indonesia. Although numerous attempts (mainly security approach) to eradicate radicalism have been taken, radicalism is still a prominent problem in Indonesia. This paper argues that Islamic religious education should be empowered in order to reduce the spread of radicalism. In order to bring these ideas into reality, this paper further offers Living Values E education (LVE) as a theoretical framework to develop Islamic religious education which is compatible with this goal.
