More about the book

The book explores the internal conflict within Muhammadiyah, a modern Indonesian Islamic movement, highlighting the struggle between conservative and progressive factions. While historically known for its rational approach to Islam, recent trends show a shift towards conservatism, prompting progressives to advocate for innovative Islamic thought. This tension has evolved from open debate to a more hegemonic and punitive environment for progressives, who find themselves marginalized by conservative power structures that attract a broader audience, leaving them vulnerable within the organization.
