Review
"Islam and the State in Indonesia is an authoritative and thoughtful contribution on Indonesian Islamic politics" (Inside Indonesia).
"[the author] concludes that the 'majority of Muslims (politicians) ... accept the significance of sharia and are obliged to implement Islamic teachings in all aspects of life. Yet they differ greatly with regard to how sharia is to be understood, interpreted, and implemented. They do not believe that Islamic sharia should be adopted in its entirety and serve as the positive law of the land. Instead, they share the idea that certain elements of Islamic sharia can be formulated into legally binding law'. But this model of restricted Shariah application was a legacy of the Dutch colonial period, so the question still facing Indonesia, therefore, is how to apply Shariah in its entirety. All in all, Effendy's book is worth reading" (The Muslim World Book Review).
