This article study discusses a portrait of religious insights among students and teachers in high
schools in South Kalimantan. However, the conducted research is based on the background that the spread of
radical ideology can be channeled through education, in which high school students are targeted by radical

wisdom may encounter radicalism among Islamic education students and teachers. This article study finds
that: Firstly, there are three categorizations can be mapped related to religious ideas emerging, namely: (1)
Respondents whose militancy and radicalism narratives tend to dominate; (2) Some respondents also have
moderation narration that dominates; and (3) some others have an equal narration of militancy and
radicalism and moderation. Secondly: the locality of recitation through religious institutions of the majelis
taklim with the content of Sufism-based recitation has a significant role for the students and teachers in
responding to each religious issue based on moderation narration
