Abstract
This article analyzes the influence of the NII (Negara Islam Indonesia / Islamic State of Indonesia) separatist movement on Indonesian democracy and national ideology. NII is an Indonesian Islamic militant organization that has existed since the post-independence period, founded on August 7, 1946, under the leadership of S.M. Kartosoewiryo, aiming to replace the Indonesian state ideology of Pancasila with an Islamic caliphate system based on the Quran. This study uses a qualitative research method with a post-positivist paradigm, combining library research and an in-depth interview with JP, a former NII member from West Sumatra. Social Constructivism theory is employed as the theoretical framework to analyze how radical ideologies are constructed and disseminated. The findings reveal that the NII movement poses a significant threat to national integrity and Indonesian democracy through radical indoctrination, closed structural recruitment, and activities that are contrary to the constitutional foundations of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI). This research concludes that state authority and a constructive approach toward radical ideologies are essential to safeguard the continuity of Indonesian democracy.
