abstract: During Soeharto’s New Order, Muslim politics was 
virtually banned from any political activities in Indonesia. Yet, 
after the fall of Soeharto Muslims are free to speak, to establish a 
political party, and even to adopt Islam as their political ideology. 
The political climate has also considerably changed from an 
authoritarian to democratic system. In line with this 
democratization and liberalization, various Muslim groups with 
different approaches and agenda also emerge. It is not surprising 
that many Islamic radical groups have also emerged since that 
time. This paper endeavors to examine what caused the Muslim 
politics to greatly gain momentum in the post Soeharto period 
and whether it has a link to previous Islamic movement of 
parliamentary democracy in the 1950s. It shows that on the one 
hand the declining number of Islamic party voters indicates the 
weakening of “politik aliran” (ideology-based party) within 
moderate Islamic groups. However, another phenomenon 
emerges in form of the rise of radical Islamic groups in Indonesia.
