| description | Islam and Muslims in Southeast Asia have often been described using
two sets of very contradictory terms. On the one hand, Islam in the
region is imagined as being Sufistic, syncretistic and localized, and
Southeast Asian Muslims are thought to be very different from their
counterparts in the Middle East, who are considered to be orthodox
and 'fanatical'. On the other hand, after the 9/11 attacks and especially
after the October 2002 Bali bombing in Indonesia, the danger of radical
Islam was emphasized and Southeast Asia suddenly became the 'second
front' in the global'war on terrorism' (Conboy 2006). Some Muslims in
Southeast Asia themselves shared this concern and even warned of the
influences of 'transnational' Islamic movements. |
