this potential. Never<strong>the</strong>less, people’s power is but <strong>on</strong>e<br />

aspect of a power equati<strong>on</strong> that can be ruthlessly crushed<br />

by a violent state apparatus and <strong>the</strong> intrigues of <strong>the</strong><br />

ruling elite. In a country where transparency is still just<br />

a c<strong>on</strong>cept, <strong>the</strong> state may find it especially tempting to<br />

curb <strong>the</strong> possible advance of Islam. Historically, Islam<br />

in Ind<strong>on</strong>esia is seen as a threat to <strong>the</strong> powers-that-be.<br />

From Soekarno to Suharto, Islamic parties have never<br />

had <strong>the</strong> freedom <strong>the</strong>y so desire. Not until <strong>the</strong> euphoria<br />

of Reformasi was Islamic parties allowed to mushroom<br />

and find <strong>the</strong>ir own levels in a reality which is suspicious<br />

of Islam, where many see it as pr<strong>on</strong>e to c<strong>on</strong>servatism.<br />

To be viable as a leading political ideology Islam in<br />

Ind<strong>on</strong>esia must transform itself to suit a modernity that<br />

is evolving at breakneck speeds or be left behind as a<br />

pers<strong>on</strong>al faith c<strong>on</strong>fined to domesticity.<br />
