Osama and 'Islam Bukan Teroris'

Spotted on a bakso mee seller.



Osama and the slogan which proclaims that Islam is not terrorism.
Go figure what the message that it tries to bring forth.

Even in Indonesia, the country with the largest Muslim
population, the struggle between moderate and radical Islam is still an
issue across the strata of society. On 13 August, it was reported that
Hizbut Tahrir, an Islamic group inIndoneisa, has blamed democracy
for the country's woes. Questioning secular policies and referring as
being against sharia (Islamic Law), the group insisted that " the
establishment of an Islamic caliphate would help solve this
country's problems and increase development".

This has made me wonder if Indonesia will succumb to the pressures of
these Islamic groups over time for the establishment of Islamic law 
within the country. If these groups are to use political parties and
mechanisms to garner support in a democratic way through electoral
means, fine and well. What is important is for the Indonesian people
to decide for themselves what they want but they will have to be
responsible for the outcome.
