Abstract

Islamic moderateness is said to be one of the key factors that contribute to the promotion of peace in Muslim societies. We present an empirical study conducted in Indonesia (N = 299) that assessed Islamic political moderateness and examined its role in fostering Muslims’ tolerance towards non-Muslims, as well as the first group’s support for making reconciliation with the latter group. We found as predicted that Islamic political moderateness was a positive predictor of outgroup tolerance, because of the role it had in enhancing the sense of national identity as a higher order identity vis-à-vis Islamic identity (i.e., higher order nested identity). Outgroup tolerance positively predicted and, in turn, mediated the role of Islamic political moderateness in enhancing Muslims’ reconciliatory tendencies, inncluding feelings of collective guilt and shame, intergroup trust and perspectivetaking, intergroup cooperation, willingness to apologise, as well as support for intergroup empowerment and reparative actions. These findings suggest the benefit of Islamic political moderateness to drive Muslims to appreciate the existence of non-Muslims. We discuss these empirical findings in terms of theoretical implications, research limitations and practical implications.
