| Abstract
|
:
|
Globalization and the communications revolution have allowed vastly increased flows of ideas and people across the Islamic world, generating new social forms. As is well known, these include transnational social movements and organizations originating in the Middle East and now stretching across the globe, as far as East and Southeast Asia. Indonesia, as the country with the largest Muslim majority, has attracted Islamic activists from other parts of the world. What is little known is that some of the most active transnational Islamic movements in Indonesia in recent years originate from Turkey. Unlike Islamic revival movements of Arab and Persian origins, which since the 1970s have been predominantly fundamentalist, the new-comer Turkish-origin movements take a different approach to Islamic revival. They are more ‘moderate’ than many of the movements from the Middle East and are proving to be easily accepted in Southeast Asia, not only by Muslim communities there but by the governments of the region.
