Islamic Populism is a authoritarian and economically ambiguous ideology that incorporates Islam into populism. It believes in using religious and populist rhetoric in order to achieve either Islamic Democracy or Islamic Theocracy.

History

Islamic Populism is currently in power in Indonesia, Pakistan and some Middle Eastern Countries.

Indonesia

Islamic populism in Indonesia refers to a political phenomenon where politicians or parties employ populist strategies and rhetoric with a particular emphasis on Islamic identity and issues to gain support and mobilize the electorate. Joko Widodo, commonly known as Jokowi, the current President of Indonesia, can be seen as an example of a leader who has effectively utilized elements of Islamic populism in his political approach.

Jokowi, a former furniture businessman and Jakarta governor, rose to prominence as a political outsider who appealed to the aspirations and grievances of the common people. While not explicitly an Islamic leader himself, Jokowi has embraced Islamic symbolism and incorporated Islamic themes into his political campaigns to resonate with the predominantly Muslim population of Indonesia.

One way in which Jokowi has utilized Islamic populism is by adopting a more visibly Islamic image. For instance, he has been seen wearing Islamic attire during religious events and visiting Islamic religious leaders, which has helped him project an image of being connected to the Islamic community and understanding their concerns.

Jokowi has also made efforts to address issues important to Islamic constituencies. For example, he has implemented policies aimed at improving religious education, supporting Islamic-based organizations, and promoting Islamic finance. These actions have appealed to voters who prioritize their Islamic identity and have positioned Jokowi as someone who prioritizes Islamic values and interests.

Furthermore, Jokowi has actively courted the support of influential Islamic groups and figures. By forming alliances with prominent Islamic organizations and securing their endorsement, he has been able to tap into their networks and gain legitimacy among conservative Islamic voters. This strategy has helped him broaden his support base and consolidate his political power.
