abstract: 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
