Abstract

Giving “misguided” label to a group whose different religious ideology from the mainstream ideology is not free from political interests, economic and cultural image of the competition. Based on the case in Gampoeng (village) Jambo DalamPlimbang, Bireuen district, this study wanted to show the comprehensive reality behind the violence in the name of religion against the group that was labeled misled. This qualitative study found that mass anarchism reaction against Tengku Aiyub group that was labeled misguided in Jambo Dalam village, Bireuen district is not just motivated misguided issues alone. This reality is triggered by the conflict between Tengku Aiyub and some village apparatus leaders and the competition of building cultural image between Tengku Aiyub with local traditional martial arts. Critical attitudes of Tengku Aiyub toward financial management which is considered not transparent make some apparatus village leaders feel upset. Meanwhile, the image of Tengku Aiyub as a traditional martial arts master in Aceh had challenged other hero to increase number of students. The failure of local government in preventing and anticipating this case contributes to the birth of an unplanned collaboration between the parties whose their existence threatened because of Tengku Aiyubuntil finally the tragedy of mass anarchism happened which took the life of Tengku Aiyub and one of his followers.
