a rule in islam that. the easiest. business in our culture has used against our islam but will also. do what we will keep fighting until there is justice in indonesia. god willing so. unfortunately indonesia is not immune from this global trend of pricing intolerance and yes there is a rising intolerance. going to. want to.

again it me. without embark on an investigative journey through indonesia home to 270000000 people. more muslims live here than in the entire middle east in fact it's the most populous muslim country in the world. indonesia is also the largest island nation on the planet with hundreds of different languages and cultures it's a true melting pot of people and religions. following 3 decades of dictatorship in their nature is you know westerners proof that islam and democracy are compatible. the western media have likened the current president yoko we doto to former u.s. president barack obama but indonesia like other muslim countries is struggling with

the role of islam in modern society islam is forces are intent on turning a country of diversity into a theocracy. to date terrorist attacks are primarily targeted the christian minority several 100 indonesians have joined this self-styled islamic state. but we want to know is will the country withstand the pressure of the fundamentalists where is indonesia heading. up to a province is located on the island of sumatra it's the only province of indonesia where islamic law known as shari'ah isn't focused shari'a law is based on the koran and the teachings of the prophet mohammed's. 5th.

this is of the way heat one of the leading figures in the islamist movement in a chain. we don't pray our soul will not be happy. because we're not expressing our gratitude to the creator which of course we wouldn't exist without someone there to create us so nothing is more important than to be grateful to our creator. this is why praying is one more important than anything else. even than our own lives but even then our children and family and the and i'm not. probably what he does leader of the tree branch of the islamic defenders front.

mission warred the hardline organization is believed to have around 200000 active members. who have been responsible for repeated attacks on religious minorities as far as abi what he does concerned indonesia should be ruled by a religious head of state ok. my side of the caliphate was the pinnacle of islam in fact it was at its height during that period of islamic law. so it would be ideal if we returned to the islamic system so want that iommi everyone is protected nobody has addressed one of the 2nd world war after the caliphate when the world was not ruled by muslims there were wars and there was slaughter everywhere. that's. good. to.

know that the central government in jakarta is wary of branding the islamic defenders front of the widespread grassroots support for its populist propaganda i'll be working as proud of his group and its supporters for managing to bring down a high profile politician. in a venue 2016 the islamic defenders front led mass protests that turned violent in jakarta. demonstrations vented a period against al hakim then the governor off to college and a christian with chinese roots. and was accused of having insulted the qur'an he was removed from office and given it

to use sentence for blasphemy president we don't all fail to take action to support his old political ally. and. why did we protest against a hawk. hawk defamed the qur'an. well . we didn't go to the rally because he is of chinese descent or because he was christian or. that we went because he insulted our qur'an which is the holy book of islam. that is why we are against a hock we will fight against anybody who insults our religion acknowledged.

after evening prayers on the war he takes us to one of his qur'an schools in addition to religious studies the pupils here are subjected to political preaching i i i i. know he didn't form says young charges that the palestinians for example have the right to conduct a holy war against israel i miss seeing god is great before he refused to i i i i heard. her i was moved i i. i i i i i.

the next morning we accompany up the way he did as he brings the 2 oldest of his 6 children to the much asa and islamic school. kid to the curriculum focuses on the koran. and the teachings of the prophet. back at his home his wife davey hostess 14 the couple got married in 2006. davies says abi is the man she'd always dreamed of. 6 started wearing the niqab a couple of years ago for herself and her husband. of being in the theatre but. i also want to become like one of our profits wives. they were the full.

name of my idolized the wife of the prophet as the leaders of all muslim women. thing and by following their lead we will go to heaven because they went to heaven . by following their exam will be in heaven with them and will also become angels i must go but if they are mine yet then. the couple speaks openly to us. we ask about their personal stance on polygamy. yeah. in my opinion polygamy is permitted by the qur'an and islam. and with good reason. i don't really know how to put this on the many things how

can we all know that. there are men with sexual desire. that's why islam provides this rule. so in order to avoid adultery islam recommends polygamy. and now it does. recorded with perhaps. we'll ski whether she would really tolerate i'll be having a 2nd wife. dresses around her directly to hear. if if you have a strong reason go ahead no problem and. this is long as i'm still able to give you what you want you should think hard about it and i mean. i can't say you know i can only say i'm not ready yet.

so. my mother might. be $100.00 shows us his gallery of heroes including to dictate his moammar gadhafi of libya and saddam hussein of iraq. in his eyes righteous champions of islam. he also idealizes the militant palestinian group hamas in a home with pictures of radical islamists adorn the walls we probably shouldn't expect a friend political discussion. the only is. honest is the real terrorists in the world. there would be and yes was formed by zionist israel to cause conflict amongst muslims to create a war within islam but only the islamic defenders front exists to act against all

the slanders against islam. this is beyond the archery capital of the province. not so long ago everything here lay in ruins after the tsunami of december 2004 wiped away entire communities across southeast asia. played . in indonesia it struck a region that already been plagued for decades by a bloody civil war involving a separatist group seeking independence for such problems.

that tsunami killed almost 130000 people in our province alone. we meet up with human rights activists reiher $53.00 on a stranded ship this tsunami had swept this 2 and a half 1000 ton vessel 3 kilometers inland but tsunami also had a huge political impact helping to put an end to the war for independence but it also introduced children to the province. and this is the code but again it's because. doing so so to go one on one often a shia thing this so often. so they give them so they one gift. a prayer. the people of.

freedom again. much it was an independent muslim sultan it came to 19 o 3 has always been more conservative than most of the provinces constituting indonesia. here a majority approves of sharing your law. rather than. public whipping surf now become commonplace with only a few people opposing the practice. every other it is not good to show the. foul up to keep it so we'll bring them to thing like that and this is a public space and it's not good because. this is not our culture it is not just against human rights this is. a gear our islam but also.

98 percent of the population of such a province are muslims. islam has always been the primary companies for life here but the increasingly strict interpretation and implementation of sharia law has made everyday life difficult especially for women. the woman cannot sit in the coffee shop at the wedding and i think they said. they will ation . they control the woman because they won. i think to call for the i believe. to perform the good. will fair

there's a point where we have another. policy and acting like whole thing and education and everything and another not talk what the one because the thing while money. become popular useful. we experience a friendly curious reception from the locals at the same time we notice how sensitive they are when it comes to issues of religion and freedom.

the few 1000 christians among the population feeling creasing lay marginalized and tend to keep to themselves. we now take a ferry from banda to sub on a small group of islands off the coast of sumatra. we've heard that life there is more relaxed compared to the rest of us check. out america. the indonesian government would like to attract more waste and tourists to the

largely untouched islands of our check. how close to daughter is the hotel owner and a survivor of the tsunami. the tidal wave she says has left deep scones here too. after tsunami people changed. because the thing is that punishment that god punished them because they misbehave they did pray you know they didn't be following the rules enough. society has become more conservative since the tsunami for barker's the opposite was the case she broke with religious

customs and suffered for it was hard for me. to be myself and judge and i get a bit depressed you know because the worst. i have to to do what i don't want to do. i have to. please others. and then i don't place myself. it's not easy. because takes us to away. she stands out despite the headscarf but she is wearing just be ok she.

said thing i am a bad girl missing out if you know. i'm a bad influence i discard it after i get to know the world that it's not good and that my fellow. i just don't like the magnetic force. hated. me and when someone forced me to think i let it out from my heart when i want to break free when i want to work i'm not hurt but i don't like i'm stubborn as somebody disagrees with.

the aftermath of the tsunami also so the arrival of various international aid organizations in the region thanks to his english speaking skills not his soon found worth. that contact with foreign is ended up changing her life. she fell in love with a disaster aid worker from switzerland they got married and had a child. today the woman who once attended an islamic school as a child sees herself as a citizen of the world she divides her time between subang and switzerland and between shari'a law and western abundance. back home she runs a hotel that has won many awards most of her guests are foreigners while most of

her employees all single women. so many women suffer and in my place especially where we can kind of and talk i can't even make decision about my own marriage i cannot even make a decision of my study because we are a woman everything we said is a no no and i think i am extreme in this because i have been pushed down any been hiding he didn't under the under the cupboard or under the like a dead case you know but i want to open it up now because i think it's so important that i could help other woman to feel like. they are not alone you know and they are not wrong and they are good enough.

barker says she hasn't turned her back on islam only on the version of it propagated as the right and only one by the fundamentalists there is a lot of tolerance in the koran so i shared that with my friends here it's a choice also and it's not a religion it's a problem the problem is that people yeah. that you only have the president. yet. almost. we arrange a meeting with the islamic religious police. their job is guardians of moral order is to protect virtues and punish brice from consumption of alcohol to gambling and inappropriate physical intimacy such as extramarital sex and same sex relationships

all of which are considered violations of choose sharia laws the men seem suspicious of our questions especially when we ask about their duties. there are aware of critical coverage in the western media. but they do ultimately allow us to join them on patrol. they complain to us that the hotel run by bulk has to dottie has been under observation for some time. but today they checking educations known to be frequented by now this ask landis time meeting place and.

the time that they're going to let on that. it is forbidden for a couple who are not married to be together. that there is debris within islam. they sometimes seek an opportunity to violate shari'a law because. if they have sex they could flood. but it's only kissing that they don't and then we only issue a warning we bring them to the office we call the parents and explain what happened and ask the parents to take care of their children so that they don't repeat the scene of the stakes the money. i don't. know what he and his colleagues go out on patrol 3 times a day most of the tip offs come from the population. nate is friends and strangers who feel resentful and.

they're proud of my work even if we only get a modest income we don't expect a big salary i believe that what i'm doing will be rewarded by god. feel. lik. province and board a plane to the capital. jakarta today is a sprawling metropolis with a population of over 30000000 it's the center of indonesia's political and economic activity.

preparations are underway for national heroes day a celebration of the men and women who fought for indonesia's independence from the dutch colonial occupation in the mid 19th 40. among those commemorated is the kind of the 1st president and founding father of modern indonesia. after the 2nd world war he declared his support for democracy and the separation of religion and state. in 1960 find the only offices so how to seize power which resulted in a campaign of mass killings so hard to overthrow a $998.00 was seen as a liberation for pro-democracy advocates and is the mists unlike. those in other parts of the country the influence of islam is also on the rise in the capital.

these women are lawyers doctors and entrepreneurs by profession they call themselves the niqab squad. sometimes i feel like i'm in feels overwhelming you know many people cannot see what i can see all. their lives i feel like and it's make me safe you know it's makes them more comfortable safe as a woman everywhere i go i like not. i no longer feel like the center of attention the more a woman learns and emotional learn to avoid being judged by her parents at every one of those she's at risk of being a temptation 110 and of that if we didn't someone in the us my conduct got a leg up and if you and you've. endured are a minute i am do you founded the niqab squad or in 2016. formerly worked in the glamour of the fashion industry. her 1st marriage was to

a comedian her 2nd through an actor. but after both marriages fail she says she embraced god and. when we are all wearing makeup. while we were home i saw someone said it's so and we do it is we get more we work i have had so many say and so i need mari what and i wear this so. i hope a lot of the gifts mori was far from for me. and her interpretation of the sooner the islamic code of behavior includes the face veil even though it's not traditional in indonesia the nick of squad wanted to be more widely accepted in society.

do women focus on the poorest. they see themselves as benefactors on behalf of a lone. twice a week. they bring food parcels to garbage collectors who live under a bridge. and the 1st night they're free. but we do it right it's up nicely and the mission of this spot is that the how many people to be better mostly we might down to 3. and there was somebody in the room but. it would need not just the next process to be the bigger. the contrast with our next appointment couldn't be more striking here we meet a woman whose life has been constantly shaped by political developments. jani why he is the daughter of the 1st president after the suharto dictatorship her

grandfather was the country's 1st minister of religious affairs and her great grandfather the founder of the world's largest islamic association it's very important for me to connect with people so that i can convey my a message that it is possible for us muslims in the media to the dear to us and we just believe but at the same time. being progressive in our in our conduct in life . anyway it is usually busy rushing from one appointment to the next she's held another of political posts and has been repeatedly toted as a future president of indonesia. right now however her 3 young daughters take precedence. in the i'm in the.

let me. her next appointment is. at the national women's forum uni where he had issues us the future is female. is he. doesn't disappear. on stage she addresses the central issue in her life in the asia's diversity and how it can benefit the country you know. thank you. we understand that there's a diversity that forms the backbone of this country and that diversity has to be respected and the e.u. them if we adopt an islamic state as our. measure my identity then there will be

a discrimination against non muslim then there versity within the mean nothing so we respect that we respect that history our great grandfather our founding fathers they already chose wisely that the platform for this country has to be a secular platform that will allow similar treatment to all citizens regardless of their religious where grounds all of the ethnic backgrounds. so this is something that we are going to fight until the last day. you know where he is generally adored by mainstream media but you're also faces hostile voices from political rivals is not just. i feel like my my religion is being walked off of its secret teachings by people who. articulate their way of looking at the religion on the negative way and

the god that i believe is a god but is loving a god that will forgive you no matter what your sin is. a god that wants the best for humanity. you know a god that is all encompassing and all kind. anyway he adds criticism of indonesian society is not solely directed at religious extremists. the ruling class at the political and economic level she tells us is also to blame for growing intolerance. which she would do if you could change one thing. paf the problem will be gone like that corruption. corruption they see the source of all

evil in this country corruption makes. people in really dismantle powerful. corruption makes secular people then dawning with a dismantles because they are corrupt because they want to control resources. so corruption makes people forget about the plight of the poor people. behind the friendly and tolerant facade of indonesia it seems tension is growing including in the cosmopolitan capital. in the field of 2019 parliament attempted to disempower the anti corruption all

thought she also cost strict tomorrow legislation the move triggered the biggest student protests since the end of the dictatorship in the 1998. i. injure carter the resulting clashes left several days and hundreds injured i i i. i i. our next stop is dr carter this university city is the country's center of culture around the heart of the protest movement. the indonesian population is relatively young around 40 percent are under 25 years old under looking for their place in a society that is changing at a rapid pace. in

that we meet with students whose resistance led to the president's suspension of plans for tighter regulations resembling sharia law as well as plans to disempower the. anticorruption authorities. say. i have the right to be angry as a citizen because i pay taxes because the government has meddled in private affairs and the fact is my privacy. and my life has been affected by the government's policies. and by corruption. i hear people who have power of course they drive public are being in by rising intolerance. i don't know to make certain regulation goes. they don't really care about what happens in the grass was

a society what kind of what kind of disaster that will happen because of their political interests they don't really care about that. the students are determined to remain vigilant. they accuse their politicians of taking a populist stance and of making common cause with islamists and big business in order to stay in power. just. to. get me to leave the issue or else they will return to the streets they're proud of their public protest against corruption and nepotism against concessions to islamists either to restrict freedoms against intolerance and the growing gap between the rich and poor. i saw last get there to sum up and yeah. i saw people sleeping on the streets. and

poor people's work for very low wages which leads to the per living conditions and . we need a government to act more to change their lives. and get the hottest we need to unite to dismantle. political rot in the parliament and at the presidential palace and you know that if they want to destroy our nation and we have to unite against them stop them allowing yourself well the. the the the good the the. the. 6 the yeah the. protest song sung

by muslims and non muslims just like in 1998 when indonesia rid itself of the dictators who are. as we say are fair worlds the students recommend a visit to border would do or one of the largest food as temples in the world just outside georgia carter. this nation is created by many people come from many big rounds so when you go to those herrick they don't just go there and enjoy the scenery. but make it as a reminder for you that our nation is very diverse. and in order to make our nation a long last you have to maintain the diversity by. promoting tolerance. and. that i
