a tolerant, inclusive and multicultural life. Deradicalization is a concrete step to fortify religious radicalism
by harmonizing religion. This research is a qualitative descriptive study with interviews with research
subjects and supplemented with supporting literature. The result of this study is FKUB Pekalongan City as
one of the organizations that can be a peace spreader among young people, women, and the smallest structure

Pancasila and being united in diversity.
