Islamic values in the world today – Indonesia and the Islamic world

Abstract: The present paper is dedicated to answer the question on how Islamic values
contribute to today’s multicultural societies. In this context, Indonesia is a good
example with its basic tenets of Indonesian state ideology. I argue that this state
ideology is coined by Islamic values, but the Indonesian state does not fully live up
to these values, because there is no proper input of Islam. Learning from the
Indonesian model, I am sure that Islam is not only fully compatible with democracy
and a multicultural society, it is also the religion which, if applied in its true sense,
can best deal with multicultural and multi religious societies as was stated in the
Bhineka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity) principle
