  • Abstract - This research discusses about the discourse of pluralism in religion by Abdurrahman Wahid. The focus of this research is the construction of the idea of pluralism in religion marked by the choice of words and arrangement of texts. So, if we observe it more deeply, it will look what actually wants to be communicated by the author. The theoretical basis refers to the Critical Discourse Analysis of Teun A. van Dijk (1988 and 2008). The method used is a qualitative. The data were taken from the article entitled "Islamic Cassette with Its Noise." The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results of this study indicate that there are three structures of discourse analysis found in the article, namely macro (thematic), super structure (schematic), and micro structure (semantics-detailed elements and intent elements). The main theme that wants to be revealed by Gus Dur is the tolerance in religion. Schematically, there are two sequential and interrelated activities. First, mosque guards who do tarhim and turn on the Quran resitation (usually in the form of cassette sound) which is sounded with a loud volume. Second, people who live near the mosque are usually disturbed by both activities in the mosque. Semantically, Gus Dur wants to invite to readers to be more aware of activities in the name of religion, whereas if viewed more deeply, these activities contain many losses rather than benefits.
