Challenging The Secular State Examines Muslim Efforts To Incorporate Sharia (Religious Law) Into Modern Indonesias Legal System From The Time Of Independence In 1945 To The Present. The Author Argues That Attempts To Formally Implement Sharia In Indonesia, The Worlds Most Populous Muslim State, Have Always Been Marked By Tensions Between The Political Aspirations Of Proponents And Opponents Of Sharia And By Resistance From The National Government. As A Result, Although Prosharia Movements Have Made Significant Progress In Recent Years, Sharia Remains Tightly Confined Within Indonesias Secular Legal System.The Author First Places Developments In Indonesia Within A Broad Historical And Geographic Context, Offering A Provocative Analysis Of The Ottoman Empires Millet System And Thoughtful Comparisons Of Different Approaches To Prosharia Movements In Other Muslim Countries (Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan). He Then Describes Early Aspirations For The Formal Implementation Of Sharia In Indonesia In The Context Of Modern Understandings Of Religious Law As Conflicting With The Idea Of The Nationstate.Later Chapters Explore The Efforts Of Islamic Parties In Indonesia To Include Sharia In National Law. Salim Offers A Detailed Analysis Of Debates Over The Constitution And Possible Amendments To It Concerning The Obligation Of Indonesian Muslims To Follow Islamic Law. A Study Of The Zakat Law Illustrates The Complicated Relationship Between The Religious Duties Of Muslim Citizens And The Nonreligious Character Of The Modern Nationstate. Chapters Look At How Islamization Has Deepened With The Enactment Of The Zakat Law And Demonstrate The Incongruities That Have Emerged From Its Implementation. The Efforts Of Local Muslims To Apply Sharia In Particular Regions Are Also Discussed. Attempts At The Islamization Of Laws In Aceh Are Especially Significant Because It Is The Only Province In Indonesia That Has Been Allowed To Move Toward A Shariabased System. The Book Concludes With A Review Of The Profound Conflicts And Tensions Found In The Motivations Behind Islamization.
