Jerusalem is a city of controversy. This paper attempts to describe the views of Indonesian Muslim student activists, who are studying in two different categories of university, namely secular and religious-based, on Jerusalem and the Jews. The choice of students of different organizations and universities is meant to give a more comprehensive perspective, and is based on the assumption that the students from the Islamic university will have different perspectives on these issues compared to those of secular universities. Five students from each category were interviewed. The interviews were not recorded but transcribed so that the interviewees could speak freely. These interviews however do not reflect the opinions of student organizations and the universities. It reflects the students’ own perspectives.

This chapter describes the student organizations where fieldwork was conducted and the data collection methods used, and introduces some of the student activists whose stories recur throughout the book. Dominant historical narratives portray such youths as key agents of Indonesian nationalism, which is why young people in Indonesia have long been permitted to feel a sense of tremblingness, or that quivering, can’t-hold-back, impatient desire to change their society and nation. This enduring youthful capacity for tremblingness propels contemporary acts of religious improvisation.

This study aimed to provide evidence regarding how gratitude and positive reframing serve as predictors on student activists’ levels of sense of coherence in a private university in Tangerang. Data was collected from a sample of 140 students who were active members of student organizations.

The result exhibited a significant contribution of gratitude and positive reframing toward student activist’s level of sense of coherence and all its dimensions. Other findings related to these variables, limitations of the study, and future research directions are also discussed.

The phenomena of Islamic Defence Action (ABI) has been raising two argumentations: Firstly, the strengthening of religious conservatism. Secondly, ABI is better organized by conservative group and Muslim middle class such as Muslim student activist. One of the agenda is propagating ABI’s ideas at various regions in Indonesia which used to campaign a slogan “It’s time for Muslims resurgence”, such as in Solo, Aceh, Medan, Yogyakarta, Palembang and other areas. This article argues that ABI at Islamic student activists becomes plasticity as a religious discourse but instability as a common identity to shape a new Islamic social movement agenda in Pontianak. This research focuses on how to understand the forms of engagement and resistance to ABI in context of strengthening pluralism and religious tolerance in Pontianak.
