Political Islam's changing face in South-east Asia
With exclusivist sentiments seeping into the region's
majority-Muslim countries, there is an urgent need to preserve

urgent because of the dearth of credible voices that have emerged
to outrightly oppose and condemn such moves that threaten to fray
the multi-religious fabric of South-east Asian society.
