Indonesia is secular thanks to Sukarno. Compared to Tunku of Malaysia who choose racism, Sukarno chose the path of socialism. During Sukarno's time, Indonesia was more progressive than today.
Indonesia out side seems to be quite secular, but actually we are not inside...recent survey by US research like Pew and others reveal the true of my country. Even my Moslem people pray more than the people of Egypt and Iran based on the western institution research center. In Indonesia, even the biggest secular party which is PDI-P support the idea to lift the restriction of Hijab uniform use in our police women (out side Aceh/ because Aceh province uses Islamic Syariah), Soeharto who put the restriction before.Turkey on the other hand is still quite different, when Erdogan has so much opposition to allow state officer to use Hijab ( this small religious thing can be so complicated and big in Turkey politics)
