Abstract

The principle of democracy upholds the rights of every citizen in terms of freedom of expression. Muslim has rights and even has to think and argue. The right to freedom of expression should not violate the rights of other people because basically, every citizen has the right to freedom of opinion which has the same position. Freedom of opinion must also prioritize unity because the Indonesian nation is a nation that is diverse and rich in culture. This freedom of opinion must be used to spread good, and not for spreading evil and injustice. A person may express their opinion freely, as long as they do not violate the law, such as blasphemy, slander, against the truth, insulting other people's beliefs, or by following their own will. The understanding of freedom of opinion in religious moderation must be understood contextually because Indonesia has many cultures, and customs. Moderate in Islamic thought is to promote a tolerant attitude towards differences and openness to accept diversity
