”In Indonesia, the drive is now to implement Islamist doctrines via legislation-and the current Indonesian debate on the bill against pornography is indicative of this. If the bill prevails, Indonesia will not only stop being a "secular" state, but will also have to deal with possible disintegration. Regions like Bali, with no Muslim majority, will not be happy to belong to an Islamicized Republic.“ - Goenawan Mohamad
