Abstract	In this article, the author describes three distinct but interrelated currents in the process of Islamization: the evolution of the "integrated" madrasah, the growth of the Jema'at al Tabligh as a form of nonformal Islamic education for adults, and the effort by the Department of Education in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) to Islamize public education through Project Madrasa Education (PME). He analyzes the conception of Islamic education common to all three developments as a reflection of local needs and aspirations and explore their possible consequences. He argues that, rather than constituting an argument against decentralization, this case offers an argument for greater understanding of and openness to moderate Islamization as a potentially more effective bulwark against radicalizing Islamic education than government-enforced secularization. A historical context of Muslim Mindanao is presented and Islamic education as existential sustenance in Muslim Mindanao is discussed, as well as Islamization of education as democratic educational reform.
