Go to Town Topic burgers and have one for me, would you? Feeling homesick. Or…go to Ponaks and order the excellent nachos.

What it is, is ALL of reactionary Islam (I originally wrote fundamentalist, but that’s not right – Islam doesn’t mandate what these people are doing, any more than Christianity mandates what the Spanish Inquisition did). Certainly not limited to Indonesia, although as you imply many people don’t realise how widespread that is in Indonesia, unless they’re trying to keep track of how many Christians have been murdered, churches burnt (often with the congregations locked inside), houses of Christians ditto, etc.
