Abstract
Radical ideology is a latent danger that could arise any moment. The ideology is globally spread and directed to students who are members of Muslim student organizations.Students’ openness towards new things, critical, and passionate nature are being used by various terrorist organizations to spread their ideology. Students who were already embedded by the radical ideology would easily do various acts of terror such as murder, kidnapping, robbery, and bombing.
This study aims to determine the role of parents – children effective communication, peer group and self-concept in neutralizing the radical ideology embraced by students. In the short term this research is expected to result in a radical ideology handling model based on parents – children effective communication, peer group and self-concept. In the long term it is expected that the model will be able to prevent and neutralize the radical ideology embracedby the younger generation so that they could give the highest contribution for the nation. This study will begin by collecting information about students who became memberof Muslim student organizations at several campuses in the city, observing the pattern of recruitment, organizational doctrine, and understanding of organizational ideology. Furthermore,the next step of the research will beobtaining a model of effective communication that will be a guide for parents, government and the community at large to overcome the ideological radicalization.
