PEMIKIRAN NURCHOLISH MADJID TENTANG AGAMA DAN NEGARA

Abstract

Thought of Islamic state or Islamic as a state has caused the
form of apologetic. A state claims its self as an Islamic state but the content is not Islamic, or in other words that Moslem is not compulsory to  develop  an  Islamic  state,  but  is  compulsory  to  carry  out  Islamic values including through the government in a state. Democracy is the only  political  choice  for  Indonesian  people.  Hence,  the  democracy values fully objective and there is nothing that opposites to the religion norm. In the application they must feed each other, especially that the religion can give ethic power, moral, and spiritual for the development of  democratization  and  the  existence  of  national state  is  not  being a problem.Hence, nationalism as a life principle that is centrally clear can  not  be  accepted,  but  it  is  not  a  problem  that  a  moslem  being nationalist. Islam is opposed fascism not nationalism.

Key words: Nurcholish Madjid, religion, state
