As the forces of globalisation and modernisation buffet Islam and other world religions, Indonesia's 200 million Muslims are expressing their faith in ever more complex ways. Celebrity television preachers, internet fatwa services, mass religious rallies in soccer stadiums, glossy jihadist magazines, Islamic medical treatments, alms giving via mobile phone and electronic sharia banking services are just some of the manifestations of a more consumer-oriented approach to Islam which interact with and sometimes replace other, more traditional expressions of the faith.This book examines some of the myriad ways in which Islam is being expressed in contemporary Indonesian life and politics. Authored by leading authorities on Indonesian Islam, it gives fascinating insights into such topics as the marketisation of Islam, contemporary pilgrimage, the rise of mass preachers, gender and Islamic politics, online fatwa, current trends among Islamist vigilante and criminal groups, and recent developments in Islamic banking and microfinance.

This story explores the challenges Sally faced with the medical profession and alternative therapies and details the way she managed a lifethreatening illness in the context of family life with courage and the unwavering support of those around her.

In May 2008, she met Dr Charlie Teo, an internationally renowned neurosurgeon, who challenged her to seek a second opinion and created hope through minimally invasive surgery that has allowed her to get on with living, not just surviving.
