Indonesia Capitulates To Intolerance In The Islamic world

     Is it a crime to state that someone is lying when they claim the Quran says Muslims should not vote for non Muslims to rule them?  Ahok, the former Christian mayor of Jakarta, recently elected out of office in an election some claim was ripe with fraud, was just sentenced to two years in prison for blasphemy for saying that about some of his political opponents.
     Indonesia has the world's largest Muslim population, and a reputation for moderation. There are also a number of vulnerable religious minorities. If Indonesia follows the general trend in the Islamic world of greater intolerance, more hatred, increased cruelty, violence and terror against all things considered non Muslim, it will truly be a dark age for the minorities and Muslim moderates of Indonesia and for the world.
