INDONESIA A DIFFERENT KIND OF MUSLIM NATION

摘要

When Barack Obama arrives in Indonesia later this month, he'll find a country very different from the one he lived in as a boy. When he moved there at age 6, in 1967, Indonesia's economy was sliding toward bankruptcy, strongman Suharto had just started his 32-year-long iron-fisted reign, and millions of people embraced an inclusive type of Islam tinted with animism. Today Indonesia is a thriving democracy, an emerging economic powerhouse-and far more rigorously Muslim in character.
