Abstract

This paper describes the role of Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama in the making of the Perda syariah number 12/2009 in the City of Tasikmalaya. Data is collected by document study and interview with key persons of both organizations. The study reveals that, as the mainstream mass organization, Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama tend to reject the implementation of the Sharia Law in local regulation, which was in contrast to those of non-mainstream Islamic mass organizations such Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI), Front Pembela Islam (FPI), Laskar Thaliban, Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) and PKPPSI (Presidium Komite Perjuangan Penegakan Syatiat Islam/Presidium of the Islamic Sharia Enforcement Struggle Committee). In this case, the research highlights four roles of these organizations such as guardian of religious moderation, providing religious legitimacy, guardian of democracy, and pressure group.
