security apparatus that has authority to do necessary legal action for recovering situation. he omission on situation of law violating that
is performed by the government, justifying the society or communal group to perform inconstitutional actions by violating another group’s
rights. For sure, this is a portrait of no attention of violation on citizen’s rights.
Several such narrations show that the law enforcement along the leadership tenure of SBY became a very brittle point in protection
on freedom of religionbelief as the constitutional rights of citizens. Government of SBY has no power to mobilisize the law enforcement
administrator under his authority to ensure protection on freedom of religionbelief.
D. Subjected to the Agent of behind the Name of Religion Violence
One of another ways performed by SBY to maintain stagnation and intolerance of freedom of religionbelief in Indonesia during his
leadership tenure is about the tendency to put the violence agents on the state law regulations.
hat such submission is shown by, such as; irst, giving
accommodation space for the group that obviously questioned by the society because oten perform the attitude of violence usage. One of the
samples of government’s attitude is on FPI Islam Defender Front.
FPI in many case happened in Indonesia, oten perform the anarchy, violence, and communal arrogance and interest as well by
shelter behind the religion. Whatever the reason, many involvement of FPI in many cases obtain justiication and defense, because the optional
witnesses are they who promoting violence.
he people’s attitude on FPI, such as, which was relected by Kendal public uprising over vigilante FPI. Although in some degree to
remain must be said that in a democracy violence is not the right way to face violence, but what is shown is a form of public Kendal a sample of
rejecting action on FPI actions.
Another example is the number of anti-FPI action. Indonesia Movement Peace Without FPI as social movements in virtual world
or on way action shows how the aspirations of the people against the violence that is oten exhibited by FPI. But the government is not

sensitive and deliberately gives privilege space to the intolerance group. he accommodationist attitude against them shown by SBY, and
exhibited vurgarly in front of the public.
One of excessive accommodationist expression of SBY, is presented by his Ministry of Internal Afairs, who raised the FPI
position as one of the important elements in the life of the nation. he Minister of International Afairs, Gamawan Fauzi in his statement on
hursday, October 24, 2013, as quoted by so many national media, calling for local governments to cooperate with FPI. he way of SBY’s
government treats FPI actually strengthen and appreciate the use of violent that performed by other mass organization or social groups
behind the name of everything. It obviously will enrich the practice of intolerance in Indonesia.
hat government behavior on FPI shows that Ministry of Internal Afairs and SBY’s government in general, prefer to do capitalization
on FPI for certain goal and political interest, than do articulation and aspiration aggregation and society interest in general, for the national
interest as well in order to constitutionalize the democracy, peace and civility.
If the reason of government, particularly Gamawan, is because of his authority as Ministry of Internal Afairs to develop mass
organizations, FPI should not be treated prefentially. he favoritism on FPI that shown by Gamawan is in contrary with the mainstream
that demanding all of violence practice of FPI should be answered in front of the law. In the context of democracy, FPI indeed has same
rights with another mass organization, but the kondite of FPI as the anarchy organization should be considered morally and ethically by
Ministry of Internal Afairs. his calling will strengthen the role of FRI as the vigilante organization under the pretext of cooperation with
local government to create ‘social order’ through various operations that violates basic human rights and citizen constitutional rights. hat
calling just will enrich the practice of intolerance.

Second , by not asking legal responsibility on various intolerance
acts that performed by minority groups. In many cases of violence on mystical beliefs that misleaded, the case of church sealing in Aceh Singkil,
the government not taking adequate steps to ask legal responsibility to intolerance groups on their violence act and criminal acts.

hird, demanding the light punishment charge to the violence
agents. he tragedy of Cikesik, Temanggung and Sampang, as explained as previous point in this chapter, showing those facts that indicates
about ‘subject’ to the violence agents.
Fourth, by using the intololerance group’s violence to criminalize
and to sentence minority group that even becoming the victims. What was perfomed by SBY, either through the police department or attorney
that strengthened by the court, in the context of Syi’ah Sampang case, is a vulgar spectacle about the repression of violence agents is above
the power of repression of state instruments. So that, instead of to repress the violence agents on their disobedience on state social order,
that repression of that violence agent is used as justifying instrument to criminalize the victims.
