Islamic teaching in Indonesia comes from NU and Muhammadiyah interpretation.If any one see Islamic conservatism bring backward to nation, it is due to the nation culture, not Islamic real teaching.
Islam in essence will bring modernity, tolerance to any society who follow it in its true essence
NU stresses more on spiritualism (Tasawuf) and Muhammadiyah with free thingking (obligate the follower to read meaning of Quran and urge the ability to interpret it independently - moving away in so called Mullah must be followed teaching).
Most Ulama comes from Madrasah but most of them go to university ( Islamic Universities) where both NU and Muhammadiyah has stake on it.
Modern Education system in Indonesia traditionally since Soeharto era is hold by Muhammadiyah while Madrasah is hold by NU. Madrasah is financed by Religious Ministry who is NU dominated.
