Defense Factors of Islamic Political Parties in Election: Comparative study of Malaysian Islamic Parties (PAS) in Malaysia 2013 and the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) di Indonesia 2014

摘要

The dominance of Muslims in a country does not guarantee that they can also dominate in political power. It indicates that political participation of Muslims has decreased, or secularism has become increasingly strong in the political arena in the country. In this problem there are factors that influence the low political vote of Muslims society in predominantly Muslim country. PAS and PKS grow in a country that has a large Islamic community base, but these two Islamic political parties can't prevail. Different systems of government and elections in Indonesia and Malaysia have no impact on the defeat of Islamic parties in both countries, because until the 2013 elections in Malaysia and 2014 in Indonesia, the existence of Islamic parties remained under nationalist parties. There are factors underlying the phenomenon, including internal and external factors from both parties.
