East Timor? (Which was especially friendly to us during WW2).
I was thinking Celebes mainly, but I have heard elsewhere too.
Many islands in the eastern parts of the archipelagos are traditionally Christian, like Ambon, and others are very mixed. (Indonesia has a ridiculous number of islands and geographic complications that should drive their elementary school kids insane).
East Timor
Funny you should mention that....
as how strange that Obama’s mother just happened to be called away to East Timor
I still maintain that she was working in some way with intelligence
East Timor ceased to be part of Indonesia 16 years ago and the oppression they suffered was as a result of the hyper-nationalism of the Indonesian army rather than as a result of Islamism (which the army also stamped hard on in Aceh).
Indeed many of the key Indonesian generals and officials behind the persecution were Christians themselves. The Indonesian government built a big statue of Christ the Redeemer in Dili and welcomed the pope, so whatever else was behind the problems of East Timor it wasn’t an Islamist thing.
