Extremism in SE Asia

Post by Typhoon »

Le Figaro | Philippines To Indonesia, Wahhabism Is Spreading In Asia
In the 1970s, on Java, there were extremely few veiled women. Now, almost all of them are. In the Aceh province, on the northwest tip of Sumatra Island, the authorities demolished churches in 2015 for fear they might be torched by Islamist groups. Many Indonesian students have been offered free studies in universities in the petromonarchies of the Arabian Gulf. They often go back to their homelands to become teachers and, naturally, they preach a Wahhabi doctrine.
May the gods preserve and defend me from self-righteous altruists; I can defend myself from my enemies and my friends.
