Sorry for a bit of a delay in publishing this article 'coz there's quite a bit of writing here. Commentaries that has to do with the aftermath of Sept. 11 especially since this is Indonesia, a country deemed as harboring Islamic militancy.

Anyway, this is a continuation of my long presentation on Indonesia. It follows the previous article titled: "Medan -1 of Indonesia's port of entry." Hope you like the pics & this article. Thanks:)

*Indonesia is not purely Islamic 'coz there's X-tian, Hindu Buddhist, Animism, [& etc.] here. Inshort, it's a very DIVERSE nation! However, it still can't escape the distinction as "the most populous Islamic state" 'coz +80% of the 200 million population are Muslims. Now that's +160 million muslims versus the most populous Islamic country in the Mid-East which only has 60-70 million people. But the difference is, the Islamic countries of the Mid-East are purely Islamic unlike Indonesia which has a variety of religions. Still, Indonesia gets dubbed as "the most populous Islamic state" which unfortunately has some underlying negative tone in the West. Also, Islam here is really lax [in general] unlike in the Mid-East or neighboring Malaysia. (But Malaysia doesn't end-up in the news 'coz it's thinly-populated.)
