During Indonesia's 2019 presidential election, significant religious and ethnic contestations occurred using hatred and stigma in expressing support for favored candidates. This article focuses on the case of West Kalimantan Province which has a divided society and memories of ethnic-based bloody communal violence in the early 2000s. This article notifies that wherein ethnic Dayak, Javanese, and Chinese voters tended to support Joko Widodo (Jokowi)-Ma'ruf Amin, while ethnic Malay, Madurese, and Buginese voters tended to back Prabowo Subianto-Sandiaga Uno up in the election. However, such ethnic and religious contestations in West Kalimantan did not generate violent conflicts during the election. Instead, voters continued to interact peacefully and harmoniously among different ethnic and religious groups. This contestation coincided with the emergence of political awareness among the Dayaks, Chinese, and Malays of West Kalimantan, which further contributed to Jokowi's electoral victory. Nevertheless, this political contestation produced the political identity.

In this digital era, it is very important to have various strategic policies to counter terrorism in many aspects, including from linguistic point of view. It is a fact that the world is multilingual and the multilingualism management constitutes a problem to be overcome (Calvet 1998), especially how to prevent the spirit of terrorism from affecting the language use of Indonesian multilingual communities. A language policy (Spolsky 2009) includes diverse domains such as education, family, government, etc. From some studies that I have done regarding language policy in Indonesia there has never been a policy related to how linguistic strategies to counter terrorism. Based on that condition, my study is very significant to give contribution for peace Indonesia. This study was done by using secondary and primary data. This paper tries to explain how is the strategy to overcome terrorism from lingusitic point of view. It seems that the language policy in Indonesia has not accommodated strategic steps how to linguistically deal with terrorism both in the regulatory aspects and at the level of implementation in the community so that it is necessary to immediately revise the existing language regulations both at national and local levels.
