Last August, I was invited to Indonesia by my friends in the Islamic Research and Pluralism Centre in Jakarta to speak on the topic of progressive Islam and the future of the Islamisation movement in the Malay archipelago

From Palembang to Jakarta, from Cirebon to Jogja, from Solo to Moluccas, I went back and forth to speak (I was worn out at the end!) and the same question arose repeatedly: What is progressive Islam? And what is likely to happen to the progressive Islamisation movement in this region?

This article is a compilation of the speeches I delivered. I hope it will answer several questions and doubts which have arisen.
