My kind of Islam - good article about Indonesia

Postby Markit on Fri Jan 11, 2008 12:18 pm

Seems to be a well thought out and balanced article on Indonesia's form of Islam and gives hope for the future.

Who can be scared of radicals that look like RyanAir flight attendants?

Excellent article. I was especially gratified to read the reigning in of the pornography law which could well have affected Bali and its Hindu traditions.

Is there a Hindu tradition for porn? :lol:

Gosh, went to Kajhuraho (temple city by Agra) but only looked at the top bits :oops:

Yes. Perhaps I did not express myself correctly and should have quoted from the article to make it clearer. :-(

Jimbo - we understood every word.

A little friendly leg-pulling didn't hurt too bad did it?

It does sometimes seems to go amiss here on the forum, though. :evil:
