Insecure, much?

This is actually slightly surprising given the number of people sentenced (and that it's on Jawa rather than a more obscure/smaller island). Usually Indonesia's Muslim community would at least make an effort to appear tolerant on public level.

Via Dhimmi Watch: Indonesia sentences 41 Christians to five years in prison for proselytizing

But I guess it's true that things have been sliding more into sharia law these days. I won't say that it's more radicalized--churches have been burned and Christians either killed or jailed from way back, but it had all been done "quietly." Now, the radical Muslims just come out and say/do it outright.

There have been tons of Crusades done in Indonesia (attended a few of them myself), many pretty high profile, but it seems that once you mention anything unpleasant about Islam the radical Muslims throw a hissy-fit.
