There's millions of Christians in Indonesia - it's about 10% of the population and it's a pretty large population.
The Indonesians are getting better and better at this religious freedom thing too - the country is majority Moslem but is actually reasonably free in terms of worship - if there's an example of a Moslem nation that might really make it into the modern world, I think it's Indonesia.

You might be correct. My friend had worked at a large "steaming operation" at the Duri oil field on Sumatra. The oil patch may not be representative fo conditions in other parts fo the country. The Americans there kept (or were kept) pretty much to themselves.
Let's hope you are right!

But there are still gangs of Moslems going to predominantly Christian areas--especially some outlying islands--and killing ALL the locals--often with the army looking the other way.
