ROHIS: DARI PENCARIAN IDENTITAS KE IDEOLOGISASI AGAMA

Abstract

ROHIS stands for Rohani (Spirit) Islam. It is school organization for religious (Islamic) activities (to develop self­potential, creativity, religious experiences and strengthen the faith) which will be useful for the next future life. In this point, ROHIS constitutes as a new identity for Islamic students at general school. As new identity, ROHIS raised many problems. Recently, a number of intolerant behaviors in some non­religious­based and religiousbased schools were apparently due to ROHIS. Finally, ROHIS was also suspected as the vehicle to spread the radicalism teachings. Surprisingly, the abuse of Rohis has been a trend and it should be investigated because of involvement of religion teacher, head master and adviser of Rohis. This article discusses this problem and confers recommendation to solve it
