報告１

Converts and death: Muslim–Buddhist relations in a southern Thai village
Ryoko Nishii（ILCAA）
In many villages on the west coast in southern Thailand, Muslims and Buddhists liveside by side. One thing that sharply differentiates people who follow these religions istheir attitude and behavior towards corpses. The touching of those who are dead or
dying seems of critical significance in local Muslim–Buddhist relations. Indeed,religious converts in the villages often cite religious rules surrounding death as a reason
for conversion; in particular, who the religious rules allow to “touch [torng]” a deceased
person. How people behave when faced with the imminent death of those dear to themis critically linked to the dynamics of their personal relationships with that individual.
In his seminal work on anthropology at death, Robert Hertz emphasized theimportance of the body at the point of death. He argued that the critical nature of thedeath transformation revealed the deepest ideals of villagers, which were also
immanent in the ordinary course of living. The evolving relationships between dead andliving matched the transformative process of decomposition (Hertz, 1907). Here we cansee that the dead–dying transition affects the world of the living. Hertz only discussed
the body after life in terms of the ritualistic process.
This presentation will describe how the materiality of the body at the point of deathaffects surviving relatives. I will examine how relationships that are demonstrated indaily life motivate a person’s decisions with regard to death. This perspective will clarify
the actual dynamics inherent in Muslim–Buddhist co-existence in the southern
Thailand village that I studied.

報告２Force and Discourse: Justifying and Performing Violence towards Ahmadiyah inIndonesia
Ahmad Najib Burhani（Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI)/ ISEAS – Yusof Ishak
Institute/ ILCAA Joint Researcher）
Besides providing new blood for the existing militia groups like the Front Pembela
Islam (FPI – Front for the Defense of Islam), the controversy over Ahmadiyah has also
prompted the emergence of a number of religious militias in almost all districts inIndonesia. Their main activities are to attack Ahmadiyah offices and homes, seal off orburn down Ahmadiyah mosques, halt any religious activities of the Ahmadis, and rally
demanding the dissolution of Ahmadiyah. Instead of feeling guilty, the actors of thisfaith-based violence often felt that they just fulfilled a good deed. This paper intends toaddress this issue by answering the following questions: What is the theologicaljustification for becoming religious militia and, subsequently, for attacking Ahmadiyah?
Why do they appoint themselves to be ‘religious police’ on theological matters, not juston matters of morality and behavior? How do they cope with the conflict between divine
law that ‘commands’ them to attack Ahmadiyah and human/state law that forbids themto do so? This paper argues that religion-motivated violence is different from otherviolence done by regular thugs or gangsters. Committing violence to religious groups
deemed heretics like Ahmadiyah is believed to be part of al-amr bi al-ma`rūf wa al-nahy`an al-munkar (commanding right and forbidding wrong). Furthermore, because of thebelief that state/human law is hierarchically lower that divine law, attacking

Ahmadiyah is a transgression of human law for the sake of upholding divine view.

報告３‘Islamisation of Malaysia’ or ‘Modernisation of Islam in Malaysia’: Conflict andCoexistence, an exploratory reflection based on the case of Al-Arqam
Shamsul A. B.（Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia/ ILCAA Joint Researcher）
This brief exploratory paper aims to achieve two major tasks: first, conceptual andsecond empirical, and subsequently weave these two into a mutually inclusive analysis
on what seems to be opposing phenomena or trends that is taking place among
Malaysians and in particular Malaysian Muslims by revisiting the now defunctAl-Arqam. The discussion also takes into consideration the macro situation in Malaysia
relating to the two phenomena. Examples of cases around the globe are useful to givethe present narrative and analysis an informed comparative perspective. It is also theintention of this paper is to expose the epistemological, ontological and methodologicalflaw of such a rendition of Islamisation, with research-based evidence, and how
necessary it is to also take note of the ‘mental construct’ that comes with Islamisation,that is ‘modernisation’ that, in turn, has to be located with the complexities of ‘conflictand consensus.’
