Agama dan Kekerasan Massa
Abstract
This paper discusses sociologically the phenomenon of mass violence. It will then focus on religion as one of the important variables that need to be seen in any violent incident. Although violence is not solely triggered by religion, it is often used to legitimize religion. This kind of opinion immediately invites discourse because it reflects the reality of paradox with the mission carried by religion. Hence in this context, it seems necessary to emphasize the sociological place, so that it can easily be described as a religious link to violence. In this case, values and morals can be used as a worldview for human society, but on the other hand religion can sometimes be a trigger of conflict that in a sequence may lead to widespread violence or dispute. Although in some respects, the dispute itself has a positive and negative value. Conflict theory in religious sociology tends to emphasize the role of self-interest in human behavior, including religious behavior. Therefore, by optimizing the role of religion, violence and conflicts within society can in itself be eliminated or minimized and even eliminated.
