Indonesian power is what causes the emergence of a new flow of Islamic middle class. Muslims who are open to develop themselves in the arts, encouraging participation itself in regard to others so that state policy does not only affect their own group but to others compatriots. Religion is at once establish the benefit to other people and the nation. Strength of Indonesian Muslims is to be hopeful about the way a new view in the United States associated with Islam and Politics, said Hefner whose knowledge capacities are being shared now around the world as he faciltates researches on Islam with scholars from differents countries. Indonesia could play a major role in influencing world opinion related to Islam and Politics for the role of civil organizations that are there. In the United States, after 11 September, Muslims in America began to organize themselves in several national associations such as the ISNA and ICNA. But these associations do not build the cadre mechanism as is done in Indonesia, where through two major organizations that NU and Muhammadiah as the two biggest moslem organizations in the world have carried out to transfer of knowledge and build awareness of expediency in Islamic response to the world. Hefner considers that the September 11 tragedy should not be exaggerated but it also can not be underestimated. It turns out the tragedy was brought to the interrelationship between the nations with religious and cultural background of each. The fact that the world is there much of a difference does not mean people can not accept each other. Efforts to reach out to each other must continue until each arrived at the meeting point of disagreement which can be built a tool to develop a negotiation mechanism . Citizenship became a very serious issue because at the level of values, it crosses the borders of nation and country to touch fundamental aspects of the rights to life of the individual as a human being. Islam and Muslims in Indonesia could be a pioneer for other brothers embrace different religions as part of the basic teachings of Islam allow such efforts.
