Hutahaean, a Christian who converted to Islam, was sentenced to five months in prison in Jakarta for tweeting “Your Allah is weak.”241 In 2023, TikTok star Lina Mukherjee was arrested under the blasphemy law for posting a video of herself eating pork after an Islamic prayer. In September, she was sentenced to two years in prison by the Palembang district court.242 Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) – one of the world’s largest Islamic organizations, and prominent in Indonesia, with over 95 million members in 2021 – championed “Islam Nusantara,” a brand of ‘moderate’ Islam.’243 Since 2014, the NU’s Bayt Ar-Rahmah based in the US and LibForAll, a nonprofit organization co-founded by long-time Indonesian resident C. Holland Taylor, who serves as a Special Advisor for International Affairs to the Chairman of NU,244 have promoted this vision. The youth wing of NU, GP Ansor, has advanced the idea of “Humanitarian Islam” since 2017, opposing the Caliphate and promoting ‘moderate values’.245 This vision of ‘moderate Islam’ has garnered unexpected backing from far-right figures like India’s Ram Madhav and Hungary’s President Viktor Orbán,246 who are both repurposing the concept to serve their own antiMuslim political agendas under the guise of anti-radical Islam. Ram Madhav is an Indian politician, writer, and former National General Secretary of the BJP. Madhav has been instrumental in shaping the BJP’s policies and strategies and is known for his efforts to promote Hindu nationalist ideologies. Madhav has built strong ties with NU leaders, especially Yahya Cholil Staquf, through his connections with the National Awakening Party (PKB), which is described as a nationalist Muslim party that promotes nationalist principles. These ties have solidified his support for the G20 Religious Forum (R20), a three day event held in Java, where the NU was initially founded. In February 2022, Madhav wrote an article defending a hijab ban in Karnataka, advocating for Indian Muslims to emulate Indonesian Islam.247 241 Republika. (2022).
