 | | Indonesia: Defending Islam against itself By Bill Guerin Asia Times, October 9 2002 Al-Habib Muhammad Rizieq bin Hussein Syihab, leader of the pro-Suharto radical Muslim group FPI (Defenders of Islam), and his storm troopers may, after two years of apparent immunity from the process of law and order, be about to be brought to account. |
 | | It is, though, a dangerous fallacy to say that political parties or members of the old Suharto crowd intent on destabilizing the capital and the country manipulate the FPI or to dismiss them as "Rent-a-Jihad", fanatics for hire by the police and the military. |
 | | There is little of more fundamental importance to Indonesia than the attainment of religious harmony in these multiracial, secular states, whose people find their spiritual strength in various religions and live amid such a diverse cultural tradition. |
