%X Since democratization, Islamists in Indonesia have had a surprisingly large influence. While scholars  once believed that Islamist movements were marginal and losing influence, the mass mobilizations of  December 2016 and Islamists’ centrality to the 2019 Presidential election has forced scholars to  reconsider the power and place of Islamism in Indonesia. However, existing studies seemed to be  constrained by uncritical assumption of Islamism as ideology that directly influences behaviors. This  article suggests that one way to move the literature forward is to take Islamism as mental models,  which helps to clinically distinguish it from Islam as a religion, and to better understand the  structure of Islamist behaviors. This article finds three pattern of bahviors among contemporary  Islamist movements, i.e. vigilante idealism of FPI, multivocal pragmatism of PKS, and complacence  opportunism of PBB, which are better to be explain by differences of their mental models rather  than their religious interpretations or their commitments to Islamist agenda
