This study aims to consider the process of the negotiation among various relations over a religion or religious practices through a case of Islam in southern part of Vietnam. About 67,000 muslims in Vietnam are composed of various ethnicities such as the Cham and the immigrants from India etc. This study examine how negotiations have been performed over Islamness and ethnic elements through the case of the Cham Muslim who are the majority group of people among Muslims in Vietnam. In this case, I will focus on three kinds of relations; relation among the Cham, relation between the Cham Muslim and the other Muslim, and relation between Nation state and religious group or ethnic group. The first focus is applied to the religious practice of Cham Bani, who is one type of “Muslim” in Vietnam. Then, I will examine a Islamic movement among Cham Bani occurred from 1960’s — when the Cham based Islam organization established in Saigon (present Ho Chi Minh City) — until now. And then, I will examine how the Cham or Muslim have been located under the state policy on religion. Finally, how “Islamness” in Vietnam today formed through those relations and negotiations will be discussed.
