In the last few years Indonesia has been experiencing a Muslim religious revival. In addition to the growing popularity of conservative and even radical Muslim ideologies such as Wahhabism and Salafism, a de facto multi-religious society is facing a strong trend of religious segregation. Indonesians are looking for new forms of their religious manifestation and expression of their piety. One of the most vivid examples of Muslim separation from other religions are perumahan syariah - a new form of gated communities in Indonesia.

Secondly, I deepen the definition of gated communities in the context of perumahan syariah as well as controversies linked to the topic. In conlusion, I briefly present possible implications on the social life in Indonesia.
