As the forces of globalisation and modernisation buffet Islam and
other world religions, Indonesia's 200 million Muslims are
expressing their faith in ever more complex ways. Celebrity
television preachers, internet fatwa services, mass religious
rallies in soccer stadiums, glossy jihadist magazines, Islamic
medical treatments, alms giving via mobile phone and electronic
sharia banking services are just some of the manifestations of a
more consumer-oriented approach to Islam which interact with and
sometimes replace other, more traditional expressions of the faith.
This book examines some of the myriad ways in which Islam is being
expressed in contemporary Indonesian life and politics. Authored by
leading authorities on Indonesian Islam, it gives fascinating
insights into such topics as the marketisation of Islam,
contemporary pilgrimage, the rise of mass preachers, gender and
Islamic politics, online fatwa, current trends among Islamist
vigilante and criminal groups, and recent developments in Islamic
banking and microfinance.
