FPI (Front Pembela Islam) merupakan organisasi kemasyarakatan yang secara konsisten menempatkan diri sebagai oposisi sejak reformasi. Namun, pada masa pemerintahan Joko Widodo (Jokowi) sikap oposisi FPI lebih dominan dibandingkan dengan masa pemerintahan sebelumnya. Dengan landasan berpikir Habib Rizieq Syihab selaku pendiri FPI terkait demokrasi, serta metode kualitatif, penelitian ini ingin melihat alasan FPI memposisikan diri sebagai oposisi terhadap pemerintahan Jokowi. Hasil penelitian ini memperlihatkan bahwa landasan sikap oposisi FPI dibedakan menjadi dua latar belakang, yakni ideologis dan politis. Secara ideologis, sikap oposisi FPI disebabkan oleh democrazy sistem, democrazy ekonomi dan democrazy hukum yang terjadi di Indonesia. Kemudian, latar belakang politis diakibatkan oleh berbagai konflik antara FPI dengan pemerintahan Jokowi, yaitu kriminalisasi ulama, polemik kepulangan HRS ke Indonesia, penembakan Laskar FPI, pembubaran FPI dan penangkapan anggota FPI.Kata Kunci: FPI, demokrasi, oposisi, pemerintahan Jokowi.
