This study uses a historical approach, by understanding the chronology and the process of the emergence of Islamic radicalism in the post-New Order West Sumatra. The writer argues that the emergence of Islamic radicalism is open even wider when it generated with the desire to repeat the period of Islamic glory without a comprehensive assessment of Islam and Muslim society.
