Thus, the exceptionality of the 1979 Iranian Revolution emphasizes the influence of religion and its role and contribution in revolutions and revolutionary ideology. The oppressed majority of Iranians, consist of mainly of Shiites, may well sympathize with Shariati’s form of Shiism which defined the religion as, “the struggle for justice against foreign rule, tyranny, feudalism, and exploitation (Brandis, 2009).” Also, the U.S.-Iranian relations went downhill after the revolution. In fact, Khomeini accused the U.S. of exploiting Iran’s resources.

However, many fail to recognize the positive Islamic contributions that have been made to Western civilizations and encourage to the ignorance that unnecessarily surrounds their culture (In class). By recognizing such knowledge and impact that the Islamic culture has had on globalization, conflict would decrease and would allow for mutual respect and an understanding of coexistence (In class). The discoveries and advancements that their culture has made to our world is significant and thus should not be forgotten when trying to convert those who associate themselves with the stigma surrounding these stereotypes (In class).

One of the things Muslims must know is the outfit rule, which changed when the Islamic faith reached Indonesia. In the past, people would hardly cover themselves with clothes. Some women would go around with bare chest. Today, Muslim women must cover themselves with hijab (Badawi). In some ways, Islam also changed people’s behavior.
Even in modern times, Islamisation is still on the rise. Due to the power Islam potentially holds, it is important to understand the relationship between Islam and politics. As Indonesia is home to the largest Muslim population in the world, it would be suitable for use as a key example.
