Modulations of active piety : professors and televangelists as promoters of Indonesian 'Sufisme'

![CDATA[A distinctive and remarkable feature of Indonesia's recent Islamic revival has been the upsurge of popular interest in Islam's mystical and devotional tradition, tasawwuf (Sufism). The resurgence of Sufism, especially among urbanites, during Indonesia's Islamic revival runs counter to the powerful current of scripturalist Islamic modernism that has been hostile to Sufism for most of the past century. Modernist reformers, prominent in cities in organisations such as Muhammadiyah, commonly thought that tasawwuf encouraged violations of the core doctrine of the oneness of God through excessive adulation of the masters (syekh) of the Sufi religious orders (tarekat).]]
