Violence in the name of religion can occur anywhere and anytime, both involving Muslims and non-Muslims. That is, religious radicalism is actually a phenomenon that commonly appears in any religion. Higher education institutions are very likely to become clusters of spreading seeds of radicalism. Not a few students become special targets of recruitment of terrorist and radical groups. Therefore, a religious deradicalization program is needed through multicultural education.

Deradicalization is a solution to straighten out radical understanding in religion in order to create a society that is tolerant, inclusive, humanist, plural and democratic. Multicultural education is a tool to realize deradicalization in religion.
