Abstract

This study aims to find out whether Muslims in Jakarta acknowledge the success of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama or Ahok as the Governor of DKI Jakarta for the period 2014 - 2017? Ahok is a Christian of Chinese descent. Research pays attention to Muslims who recognize Ahok’s success. In the case of success being recognized but refusing to vote again is an indication of non-tolerant attitudes and clash of civilization as Samuel Huntington’s (2009) thesis. But if they choose then it shows a tolerant attitude. The research method used is a survey with a questionnaire accompanied by structured interviews. A sample of 503 respondents who reside in Jakarta was chosen purposively with the criteria of educated religious Muslim women. The results showed that 48.7 percent of respondents said they would not vote for Ahok as Governor in the DKI Jakarta Regional Election in 2017, and thus the number of religious Muslim women who experienced a clash of civilizations was 48.7% which meant showing a moderate clash level.
