N2  - Perhaps one of the most important findings from this study concerns the way 
many Indonesian youths have never felt that holding firm to an Islamic identity 
means rejecting participation in modern society or a modern identity. Instead, 
despite Indonesia?s uncertain future, its young Muslims have been seeking 
modernity not by embracing variants of secular humanism but by synthesizing 
Islam and global values. The struggle of Indonesian youths to claim their space 
and negotiate their identities has also frequently led them to the issue of the 
public good. They have been fashioning their identities by voicing some of the 
concerns and interests of the general public and speaking out for social change. 
Born into a social environment that has become more Islam-friendly but also in 
some cases where it is ?funky? to be Muslim, most see Islam as a primary source 
for their vision of the future.
Some of these youths participate in da?wa activities in the belief that it is the 
one way to save society from being swept away by waves of secularization and 
Westernization. Others reject the route offered by Islamists, choosing instead to 
channel their desire to implement democratic ideals through NGOs. Many traditional Islamic leaders in Kebumen admire the techniques of the Islamists in 
spreading the precepts of Islam, but they mostly give their support to the efforts 
of NGO activists. The different visions held by youth of a future imbued with 
morality and prosperity and the differing support they receive from traditional 
religious figures are still in a state of flux. However, youth activism has already 
influenced the ongoing dialogue between Islam and democracy in Indonesia
