coming up on the. question of.

welcome to. it's good to have you with us indonesia one day away from electing its next president the largest muslim nation in the world needs to decide between president your call we dawdle and. probably will be. bold faced off against each other five years back and this time around both try to appeal to conservative voters but instance york over dodos vice presidential pick. who. gave use and. so how crucial will islam be in this election here's more from. in jakarta.

more muslims call indonesia home and than any other country on earth. now the young democracy is at a crossroads as its tradition of religious tolerance is put to the test by this year's election just bite the tensions indonesians are excited to go to the polls. for me the most important thing is security without chaos to choose a president who carries out the people's will. no one should refuse to pull up. people carry out their duties and go to the polls i appeal to the people of indonesia to go to the polling station and nobody should not for. this coming election is important because one vote can determine the fate of the nation. this year islamic identity has been at the center of how candidates compete especially in the conversation taking place behind the scenes president joko widodo and his

sole competitor. ran against each other five years ago but this election is much more than just a rematch in the last few years islamist groups that used to be considered fringe have come into the mainstream and this election will be a test of how much religion based politics has come to shape indonesia election watchers say religion has played a central role in the campaign the president has been attacked by conservative opponents for not being muslim enough. real muslim. is a joke. or. being the discussable the islamic being a basis to that's the profiling. some activists are unhappy with both of their options for president they say the entire system is corrupt

that's given rise to a small but vocal protest movement called cya go put or i'm not voting that's refusing to go to the polls we are so defied you. we no longer even trust our neighbor we have new friends. political option and we refuse we simply don't do not press those who have a different political choice. for those who do vote their choice may well determine whether the country's traditional religious freedom will be overpowered by the rise of islamic groups and lead indonesia down the road of religious intolerance. for more let's head to jakarta and its you know graph from an indonesian service is following developments for us it's good to see you now both presidential candidates have tried to reach out to conservative islamic voters is it fair to say that in the end it could be islam that's the deciding factor in this election.

but islam surely plays major role in this election and both candidates try to get more votes by. showing they are. mr. true sir mr michael so i mean this is from his first adventure candidates he left mr trouble so beyond that we've got other choice other than seeking support from radical islamic groups. i only used as individuals both of the candidates has very moderate religious fuels. thirty six for politico dentition. mr jordan we do it on their last election if you still to this cabinet with women and and radical islamic groups that calls for sharia law to replace into democracy and the same goes to probably comes from very christian and here then what has happened in five years of joke or do those rules that political islam is

brings us an important role in the elections this time round. well i think the root of the conflict lies long time ago it has been a long standing struggle between modernise and traditional islam since the fall of soeharto ninety ninety eight both of the both groups tried to influence indonesia's politics. lection. and in two thousand and four and two thousand and nine they failed to do good at and but they gain the momentum in two thousand and fourteen when radical islamist groups use mr joko allegedly like office let me credentials to attack him and those force him to seek political. support from the lama for example a large islamic organization which is the moderate in terms of their islamic teachings but also very very conservative in terms of individual rights and

freedoms they think it's possible he how important is this issue amongst ordinary voters. well for many i think economy still plays major all still the far more far more important thing to decide election but there are many many people who things. really just ideology off their press even before. the election of the christian governor in two thousand and fourteen inject. has only hardened the segregation and segmentation of the society you know many people things that. the leaders should be in line with their own ideology right of self religion and also politic you know rob from indonesia service. thank you so much for that. to afghanistan backs were renewed hostilities between the taliban and the government have broken out following the start of the taliban's spring
