Democracy nearly dead

Indonesia is moving towards a theocratic Muslim state. Democracy is nearly dead - even before it had a chance to live. Why?

Because the majority of people in Indonesia are Muslims - they belong to a totalitarian religion.

Indonesia will soon become another failed Muslim state under an oppressive regime.

It would be interesting to ask SBY if he really believes democracy is suitable for Indonesians. Or ask any other politicians. I am convinced they nearly all have reservations.

The bottom line is this - you have here a society based on submission. What you need is a society based on partnership - which implies equality and respect for human rights based on natural law.

Not much chance of that in Indonesia sadly.
