It’s amazing the amount of ignorance there is about Indonesia.
It’s the fourth largest country in the world and the third largest democracy, has less of a Muslim terrorist problem than France or many other European countries, gets along well with its neighbours and has been a good friend of the US and the west for the past half century but you’d swear it was the ultimate in dark menacing terror if you read comments here and in other forums.
It’s actually a credit to the left who never forgave Indonesia for wiping out the Communists so successfully and who have demonised the country ever since to such an extent that it’s simply part of the mental picture of anyone who hasn’t much knowledge of the country that Indonesia remains a dangerous “Archipelago of Fear” as one Communist writer recently described it.
“It’s the fourth largest country in the world and the third largest democracy - - “
You are joking, right?
The Indonesian military has a large amount of Christians in it. You can easily tell the difference when it comes to names. Their military is one of the best in SE Asia.
Just sayin'.
it is also home to millions of moderate Muslims
FRee Republic doctrine is completely un aware Indonesia exists
