#1 sounds like good and important news. Secular democracy consolidating in the most populous Muslim country. 86% of voters opposing Sharia.
Here are your moderate muslims, people.

#2 It's always good to spend some time here at the Rantburg School of Continuing Studies in Political Sciences. It's even better when you can read some good news now and then. It's great to see a growing number of contributers, and a greater variety of original posts. The "tuition" is reasonable, and the company exceptional.

The only problem is, when is someone going to do the same thing for several other areas, such as US/European relations, relations with Latin America, and internal US problems and discussions? And the pay for visiting professors is waaaayyy too low! 8^)

#3 Indonesia actually has a pretty hindu-ized form of Islam, since that was the predominant religion before Islam. Also, Indonesia has a large Christian population, but that is a fact the government does not want publicized. IMHO The fanatic Islamofascist types really became a problem after they started getting shipped over from Iran, after the Shah was deposed.
