Once again, in your zeal to discredit what I say...
(1) You overlook the fact that Indonesia does not recognize itself as an Islamic state.
(2) I believe there are six recognized religions that live more or less in harmony in Indonesia, although Muslims make up the largest group.
(3) Indonesia is not located in the Middle East, and not populated by Arabic-Muslims.
(4) Indonesia was a strict dictatorship till the late 1990s, and is still struggling with internal strife. It is a unitary presidential republic.
Someone has to present a counter balance to the left-of-cent atmosphere here. My political opinions are actually quite centrist. Then again, when measured with those that many here in the forum profess, they appear far to the right.
There are also many ways of ordering data. There are many possible explanations and outcomes. When posting, I tend to use some sources which even I find questionable (World News Daily for example), yet it is no more biased than "The Daily Beast", Fox News is no more biased than MSNBC.. if you really think about it.
Most people that post here, do not even bother with sources. Why? Because they profess left-of-center opinions which they know will not be questioned. Which they know will be widely supported.
There are two sides to every blade and at least that many to every argument. Just look how easy if was to upset "Fast Eddie" by ridiculing Barrack and Michelle Obama - yet he doesn't think twice (reading his posts) about ridiculing people himself. He has launched a series of vicious personal attacks against me, and doesn't like it when someone then targets him. Imagine that! LOL
I do appreciate you not proclaiming me a troll. Personally, I would not (except under the most extreme circumstances) label anyone as a troll. Here it is obviously quite easy to get that designation if you do not have the proper opinions
