It analyses how they have played a role in the Salafi dakwah (Islamic proselytization) movement. It focuses on the internal dynamism of the movement. Characterized by the absence of a central authority, the movement has suffered from fracture into groups, as represented by three radio stations, Suara Quran FM, Al-Madinah FM, and Darussalaf FM. They have competed in gaining legitimacy for their position within the Salafi dakwah movement. Each group has tried to become representative of the “true Salafi” (salafi sejati). Each group has attempted to attract the support of the highest Salafi authorities in the Middle East countries, especially Saudi Arabia and Yemen. This article investigates how Salafi dakwah radio stations in Surakarta have become an important medium for such contestation of authority. Cet article traite des stations de radios salafies à Surakarta, Java Central. Il analyse le rôle qu’elles ont joué dans le mouvement de prosélytisme salafi. L’accent est mis tout particulièrement sur la dynamique interne du mouvement. Caractérisé par l’absence d’autorité centrale, le mouvement a souffert de dissensions, comme le montrent les trois stations de radio, Suara Quran FM, Al-Madinah FM et Darussalaf FM. Elles ont été en concurrence pour gagner en légitimité sur leur position dans le mouvement prosélytisme salafi. Chaque groupe a cherché à se présenter comme le représentant du « vrai Salafi » (salafi sejati) et s’est efforcé de s’assurer le soutien des plus hautes autorités salafies au Moyen-Orient, tout particulièrement en Arabie Saoudite et au Yemen. Cet article montre comment les stations de radios de prosélytisme salafi de Surakarta sont devenues un support important dans cette lutte pour l’autorité.
