DISKRIMINASI MUSLIM DALAM BIROKRASI STUDI PADA PEMERINTAHAN KOTA JAYAPURA
Abstract
This article explains the phenomena of discrimination of Papuan Muslims in the local
government in Jayapura Municipality of Papua. In the practice of bureaucracy
especially the determination of officials, Papuan Muslims are not involved, even though
they are indigenous Papuans. Conditions provide an explanation that there are
problems that accompany Muslim travel in Jayapura. This study finds out that of the
total 43 units of Regional Working Units (SKPD) which 5 are led by Muslims, while
non-Muslims lead others. This composition is unequal of the population in this region,
which has a 45% proportion of Protestants and, 41% of Muslims. This paper
emphasizes three important points: first, special autonomy for Papua not only affects
how regional sentiments are strengthened, but also impacts the treatment of particular
groups, especially Muslims. Second, the determination of office in the government is
strongly influenced by the similarity of primordial identity, especially ethnicity and
religion. Third, from some positions held by Muslims, none of them are from Papuan
Muslims.
