Indonesia Rejecting Sharia?

It's interesting to note that many Muslim countries living under secular authoritarians are turning toward Islamism and the imposition of sharia law to save them. But wherever sharia is in place, Muslims see the ruling clerics as the problem. In Iran, for instance, the movement is toward secularism. In Egypt, towards the Islamist vision.

Trading in one form of totalitarianism for another is no solution.
