Violence emerged in 1998 in the post-Suharto era when some Muslim groups, such as Front Pembela Islam (FPI), claimed that Ahmadiyah is a deviant group according to Islamic orthodoxy. This writing tries to understand why and how Ahmadiyah became a target of violent attacks by some Muslim groups in the post-Suharto era by considering the rise of Islamic fundamentalist groups during this time of new-found religious freedom. Therefore, the next question is how politics, economy and Islamic theology emerged as significant factors that contributed to the attack. Through identifying particular case studies of attacks in cities across Java and Lombok, the author also explores how government creates the policy to find the best solution and how far the effectiveness of this policy to solve the problem.indWith permission of the license/copyright holderAhmadiyahViolencePoliticState PolicyPolitical ethicsGovernance and ethicsDevelopment ethicsCultural ethicsCultural/intercultural ethicsReligious ethicsSpirituality and ethicsMethods of ethicsGeneral and historicalTheological ethicsCommunity ethicsLifestyle ethicsMinority ethicsJournal volume
