description The propagation of hoaxes may be associated with individuals or groups secretly planning certain objectives. The propagation of hoaxes during the COVID-19 pandemic became interesting as hoaxes became a significant part of the political movement. In Indonesia, radical Islamic groups have been growing and are distinct from other Islamic groups, and they want to change the administration system of the Indonesian state based on Islam or the caliphate. To achieve their political objectives, this group carries out political movements with various activities, such as propaganda, Da'wah, and mastery of education. Therefore, the aim of this study will be to uncover hoaxes as a radical Islamic political movement in mobilizing opinions and support. Framing analysis is an approach to analyzing hoax frames as a political movement, and deep interviews to uncover the resonance of hoax frames. The study findings helped identify the causes of COVID- 19, radical Islamic groups have framing political discrimination and conspiracy to propagate COVID-19. In a prognostic setting, radical Islamic groups say that applying Islamic law will help them avoid COVID-19. Meanwhile, by mobilizing collective action or motivation frames, China is depicted as a murderer and an attempt to marginalize Islam. A further conclusion is that hoax frames are capable of resonating with the public, such as the cause of COVID-19 is a conspiracy, the implementation of Islamic law has a way to prevent COVID-19, and China with a vaccine that seeks to dominate Indonesia. The implication of this research is to contribute knowledge about radical Islamic political movements in the digital era by using hoaxes as a means of mobilizing opinions and collective action.
