More recent studies of the conservative turn in the region have noted the differences in the religious orientation, modes of activism, and agendas of the different actors in the country (e.g. work on Front Pembela Islam [FPI], Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia [HTI], Salafis, Traditionalists). This article shows different articulations of Islamisation in Indonesia infiltrating the media after the fall of Soeharto. It seeks to examine new mediums of Islamic propagation promoted by different Islamic actors who use film, radio, and social media, all of which have different social implications in Indonesia’s Muslim society. Discussions of media in this article are intertwined with popular culture studies, a field of important scholarly inquiry often overlooked in political and social studies. The development of Islam-based media—in which Islamic pop culture also thrives—is a form of bottom-up Islamisation in Indonesia, which reflects resistance from the various layers of Indonesia’s Muslim society towards the Western-led process of globalisation. As apparent in this article, the Islamisation trend in the Indonesian media plays a key role both in pluralising the various discourses of Islam and normalising religious conservatism.","PeriodicalId":252085,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religious and Political Practice","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121742367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An examination of recent religious deviancy restrictions on two examples from these groups termed broadly in this paper as non-mainstream Muslims (NMM) shows that both arms of the Malaysian state—politicians in the UMNO-led government and the religious bureaucracy—used the same public order and social cohesion concerns to characterise the NMM as threats sufficiently dangerous that restrictive means were required to quell them. With the state’s use of the public order and social cohesion concerns, the paper argues that the way in which the NMM were labelled as deviant and securitised was dependent on the local political and social contexts and not solely tied to theological reasoning. Lastly, the paper puts forth a comprehensive argument that accounts for the different interests and motivations of both the politicians and the religious bureaucracy in the securitisation of the NMM, the roots of which lie in the processes of progressive Islamisation.","PeriodicalId":252085,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religious and Political Practice","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115463949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Just what these trends entail for citizenship and social recognition, as well as the varied meanings of ‘Islamisation’ itself, are the questions at the heart of this article. The article begins by sketching a theoretical framework for how to understand the forms and meanings of Islamisation. The approach emphasises that Islamisation is always socially contingent, epistemologically heterogeneous, and varied in its impact on citizenship and social recognition. The article then reviews trends in Islamisation and public ethics in modern Indonesia, devoting primary attention to developments since 1998. It emphasises that Islamisation’s long term implications for citizenship and public recognition will depend on which variety of Islamisation achieves political and public-ethical hegemony. It also emphasises, however, that the Islamisation projects currently underway in Indonesia have already had profound effects on gender practices and ethnoreligious relations. The article ends by highlighting the political and moral complexity of Islamisation in Reformasi Indonesia by comparing several rival Islamisation projects, each with different implications for politics, citizenship, gender, and the practice of Islam.","PeriodicalId":252085,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religious and Political Practice","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115538626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using Shahab Ahmad’s conceptualisation of Islam as a language (Islam/ic), the paper investigates the plurality of meanings grassroots actors attach to common Islamic signifiers. In the case of Malaysia, the sociopolitical context of the Islamisation race between PAS and UMNO and the institutionalisation of Islamic piety, along with the global Islamist revival, provided the platform for the emergence of fragmented new Islamic ontologies. Among these, the paper focused on ISIS supporters and sympathisers expressing claims to self-actualisation and righteousness as conservative demands for the establishment an Islamic State, implementation of Shari’a and hudud. In India, the political context of an allegedly oppressing Hindu numerical majority, the prevalence of anti-Muslim biases and socially institutionalised discrimination, and the failures of Indian secularism, provided the platform for the emergence of new Islamic ontologies. With a focus on SIMI, the paper sketched out how Islam communicates calls for justice and recognition, a re-imagination also assisted by growing international prevalence of calls for justice framed in radical Islamic terms.","PeriodicalId":252085,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religious and Political Practice","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116684056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper analyses the relationship between religion, law, and politics in Malaysia, which has been contentious since independence. There is no political consensus as to how this relationship should conceptualised. In recent years there has been an increasing trend towards the Islamisation of law and politics in Malaysia. This trend had far-reaching consequences illustrated in the discourses surrounding unilateral conversion of children and, of course, the implementation of hudud (Islamic criminal law) to name a few. Yet the pertinent question is whether this trend will change with the new political coalition in power since May 2018. Given the current political, social, and religious climate in Malaysia, this paper argues that a consensus on the definite role that Islam plays in Malaysia is unlikely to be reached. The positions between the defenders of secularism and the advocates for an increased role of Islam in the state have become more entrenched.","PeriodicalId":252085,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religious and Political Practice","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126043174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
