Nahdlatul Ulama does not intend to export Islam Nusantara to other world’s regions but invite Moslem communities to remember to the beauty and dynamics that flourish from the meetings of history, combination between spirit and teachings of Islam with local cultures in the whole world, which bring out great civilization, as in Nusantara or Indonesia Archipelago.

3. Islam Nusantara is not religion nor new schools but the practice of Islam which develops naturally in the middle of Nusantara culture and does not offense with Islamic Shari’a as understood, taught and practiced by Ahlussunnah wal Jamaah or Sunni followers in the world.

4. In the view of Islam Nusantara, there is dispute between religion and nationalism. Hubbul wathan minal iman; “love country is part of faith”. Those who do not have nationality will not have homeland. Those who do not have homeland will not have history.

5. In the view of Islam Nusantara, Islam does not command its beholders to conquer the world, but push them to promote good behavior (akhlaqul karimah), because it is the only way Islam becomes mercy to the universe (rahmatan lil’alamin).

6. Islam Nusantara unswervingly follows and lives basic Islamic teachings and values, including tawassuth (moderate), tawazun (harmony), tasammuh (grace, affection not violence and coercion) and i’tidal (justice).

Those countries hunt for soft power (opinion influence) and hard power (political, economy, military influence) also export their conflict to entire world. The sectarian propagandas purposefully support religious extremism and push the spreading of terrorism to the world).

10. Religious spreading extremism and terrorism create the wave of Islamophobia within non-Moslem).

11. Some governments in the Middle East build their political legitimacy from religious interpretation to support religious extremism and terrors. The threat of religious extremism and terrors can be overcome only if those governments want to open their mind and build alternative sources for their political legitimacy.
