Abstract
The development of statehood lately is colored with issues about the state of the Khilafah, the dissolution of Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia, the spread of ISIS in Southeast Asia. As well as an indication of the strengthening views of the people of Indonesia who agree with the issues of Islamic countries. Similar issues were attempting to raise again to enliven the already completed religious and state discourses in BPUPKI and PPKI forums. This research attempts to discuss the birth of the phenomenon of the Islamic Caliphate and Islamic Movement of Indonesia in the decade of the 2000s until now. Movements that bring religious sentiments try to be banged with the construction of thinking Pancasila. And on the other hand, discussing the phenomenon of the emergence of a moderate class of Muslim intellectuals who seek to compensate. These moderate Muslim intellectuals are those who understand religion and nationality very well. The research method used is a comparative history approach. By comparing the mindset of the exponents of todays movement with the patterns that the founders of the nation built when meeting in the Constituent Assembly, BPUPKI, PPKI. This research yields a thesis that civic education requires a new approach formula. This new formula consists of a mixture of nationality history education and religious education. So that learners are able to understand the build character process well from various sides.
