Abstract
Islamization in Indonesia has accompanied modernization and urbanization. Since the end of the nineteenth century, Islam has been taught in the modern school system and Islamic activities have been organized under modern organizations and political parties. As the end of the twentieth century approached, Islamization became more obvious. Tens of thousands of mosques, prayer places and religious schools were built, and more women wore the Islamic veil (called jilbab in Indonesia). More people greeted each other with the Arabic Assalamu’alaikum (Peace be upon you).
