1 Islam, Identity, and the Organizational Roots of Political Tolerance Jeremy Menchik (Boston University) Thomas Pepinsky (Cornell University) September 1, 2018

2 Tolerance Matters Putting up with difference is essential for democracy, peace, and development in plural societies OUR CONTRIBUTION 1. Situational conception of tolerance 2. Organizational roots of tolerance 3. Organizational identities, not membership, shape attitudes

3 Background Existing research on tolerance tends to be - Individualistic - Decontextual - Focused on beliefs Existing research on identity tends to be - Nationalistic OR - Particularistic

4 Our View Tolerance is situational: Do you tolerate X doing Y? Tolerance is social: shaped organizational affiliations Organizational effects are complex: membership is distinct from identity

5 The Indonesian Context Lots of Muslims, lots of non-muslims to tolerate Three main Muslim mass organizations 1. Nahdlatul Ulama (Reawakening of the Ulama): traditionalist 2. Muhammadiyah: modernist 3. Persis (Islamic Union): Islamist Before you ask: none of these is less religious than the others

6 Measuring Tolerance Original survey of 1000 religious elites 21 questions about Christians in specific social situations Variable chts chtis chtp chtmp chtms chg chgj chgm chga chgp chd chdg chdm chda chc chcj chca chn chds chk thc Situation Christians should be prohibited from teaching in public schools. Christians should be prohibited from teaching Quranic exegesis at public schools. Christians should be prohibited from teaching in Islamic schools. Christians should be prohibited from teaching math at Islamic schools Christians should be prohibited from teaching math at public schools Christians should be prohibited from holding government office. Christians should be prohibited from becoming the mayor in Jakarta. Christians should be prohibited from becoming the mayor in Manado, North Sulawesi. Christians should be prohibited from becoming the mayor in Banda Aceh. Christians should be prohibited from becoming the president of Indonesia. Christians should be prohibited from holding public demonstrations. Christians should be prohibited from demonstrating in Jakarta about the price of gasoline. Christians should be prohibited from demonstrating in Jakarta in favor of interfaith marriage Christians should be prohibited from demonstrating in Jakarta against the Shariah bylaws in Aceh. I would not want a new Christian church to be built in my neighborhood. New Christian churches should be prohibited in Jakarta. New Christian churches should be prohibited in Banda Aceh. I would not want to live next door to a Christian. I would not want to live in the same village as a Christian. I would not want to live in the same city as a Christian. The behavior Christians threatens my way of life.

8 Measuring Tolerance We find that there are conceptually distinct, situationally-derived dimensions within these data 1. Political tolerance (Christians as politicians in Muslim-majority areas) 2. Tolerance in public life (teaching, demonstrating) 3. Residential tolerance (living near Christians) 4. Tolerance for demonstrations on religious issues (Christians demonstrating about religious laws) 5. Educational tolerance (Christians teaching Islamic subjects, or in Islamic schools) 6. Religious tolerance (Christians constructing churches)

11 Conclusion and Next Steps Evidence of tolerance as multifaceted, situational, and shaped by both organization and identity What about tolerance of other groups, e.g., Ahmadis, communists? What about secondary and tertiary identities?
