Funded Activity Summary

Counter-Radical Revival: Indonesia's New-Style Islamic Prayer Rallies. This project is the first systematic investigation of a new type of counter-radical religious mobilisation in Muslim Southeast Asia: mass prayer rallies attended by tens of thousands of people and led by charismatic preachers of Hadhrami Arab descent. While transnational Islamist movements promoting an Islamic state have identified 'true Islam' with Arab practices, Hadhrami leaders of the new-style prayer rallies publicly resist such claims, promoting religious rituals beloved in Indonesian local Islam. This project seeks to document the scope and impact of the new-style prayer rallies and understand them as new religious forms responsive to the late-modern social changes affecting not just the West, but also Islamic Southeast Asia.
