Dakwah and Democracy: The Significance of Partai Keadilan and Hizbut Tahrir in Indonesia.

Organizations established by dakwah activists in their effort to reshape Islam in Indonesia include the Indonesian Muslim Student Action Union (Kesatuan Aksi Mahasiswa Muslim Indonesia or KAMMI), HAMMAS, a more radical Association of Inter-Campus Muslim Student Activists, the Justice Party (Partai Keadilan or PK) and Hizbut Tahrir, a movement to establish a global Islamic state or khilafa (caliphate) to rule all Muslims. These organizations represent a younger generation of Islamist activists disillusioned with the promise of the secular nation state to bring prosperity and greater social and economic justice. Their slogan, derived from the Muslim Brotherhood is ‘Islam is the solution.’ [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
