Could turn ugly
INDONESIAN President Widodo has thrown former friend Governor Ahok under the proverbial bus.
Indonesia, ostensibly a democracy for the past 20 years, not so if you outrage Muslims by saying you may vote for whomever of whatever religion.
So free speech and freedom of religion apparently does not rate in Indonesia's brand of democracy.
Christianity is more and more being threatened in our world.
With millions of Muslim Indonesians in their massive population, this has the possibility of turning very ugly.
