Hubbul Waton Minal Iman as Reinforcement Theorem of State Defense in the Context of Terrorism Prevention in Indonesia

A series of suicide bombing terror in Surabaya and Sidoarjo a few days ago drew public attention. It was because the perpetrator was a family. After being investigated, the motive of the suicide bomber was based on false religious doctrine. According to the confession of the perpetrator’s children who survived, they had been indoctrinated by religious doctrine and living in a closed environment. Terrorism uses the teachings of Islam as justification for its actions. Therefore, the policy for the prevention of terrorism should also include the Islamic values. The main cause of radicalism effect development is the faded sense of nationalism and love of the country. State defense approach is considered appropriate as a form of prevention against terrorism. The state defense values can enhance the sense of nationalism and love of the country. However, state defense approach will not be effective without involving religious approach because the root of terrorism issues in Indonesia is based on the mistakes in understanding religion, therefore, the most appropriate way is integrating state defense approach with a religious approach based on the spirit of hubbul waton minal iman. Spirit hubbul wathon minal iman can be the antithesis on the meaning of mujahid.
