Abstract

The dress code which shows the identity of any believes today becomes interesting issue to debate in many countries. As in Indonesia, this country is known as the biggest “Muslim” country in the world which calculates as much as 87 percent of the total population. Nevertheless, this number does not show the quality of “Muslim” itself. It can be proved by looking at the prohibitions and the number of suspicions on woman wearing “Niqab”. Today, one of media electronic released the news that sounds about the ban of wearing “Niqab” in one big Muslim institution in Yogyakarta for reasons of preventing radicalism. Therefore, this paper will reveal people believes in the “Radical” word by showing the true meaning in “Muslim” perspective through critical discourse analysis. CDA is used to criticize many media electronics that trades “radical” word into negative meaning and re-up woman position in wearing “Niqab” as a form of obedience to religious orders. The data of this paper was taken from electronic news. The significance of this paper is the incorporation of marginalization theory by Leeuweun and Mills. The theory of Leeuweun will be used in general perspective, while Mils will be devoted to marginalization of women. As the result, it can be identified that electronic media offer “radical” word in order to popularize news given becomes more interesting, and marginalize the good image of woman wearing “Niqab” into negative image.
