During these 3 decades, a dual regimes were identical in viewing Islam as a large challenge. However, a strategies they employed to deal with it were different. President Suharto followed a two-pronged plan of promoting informative Islam as well as during a same time, emasculating domestic Islam. Meanwhile, a UMNO leadership embarked upon their comprehensive Islamization project. As a result, Islam as a social as well as informative force grew tremendously in Indonesia as well as Malaysia. Yet in inhabitant politics, Suharto pushed Islam from core to periphery, afterwards since mid-1980s he courted Islam as well as pulled it out of a periphery again. In Malaysia, a Islamization competition in between UMNO as well as PAS changed Islam from a border to a core of mainstream politics. The work concludes which Islam was systematically manipulated by both regimes in a period of 1965-1998, as well as a dual strategies led to a presentation of dual different models of Islamization in dual countries: a "think-tank" focused plan in Malaysia as well as a bottom-up routine in Indonesia.
