Abstract

This paper attempts to see the historical roots of the radicalism movement that led to terrorism in Bukittinggi - West Sumatra. The cause of the emergence of radicalism in Bukittinggi comes from internal and external issues. Internal problems stem from a narrow and textual understanding of diversity. Understanding the verses of the gods textually and only take the verse in accordance with the interests of the group to make the flow of this radicalism thrives among grassroots. Then from the external side caused by the high western hegemony against Islam. The traditionalist Islamic group felt the existence of Islam is threatened, and then the intention to break the western hegemony. In counteracting the growing ideology of radicalism and terrorism there are several steps to be taken. First, optimizing the role of FKUB, secondly, optimizing the role of boarding school, third, running the values of local wisdom Bukittinggi West Sumatra, namely custom and religion.
