"........In recent months, small bands of militants hoping to turn the secular nation of 237 million into an Islamic state have shifted their focus to local "enemies."

They've gone after police, members of a minority Islamic sect deemed "deviant," Christians and moderate Muslim leaders............."

&

".............Ninety percent of Indonesians are Muslim, though most practice a moderate form of the faith and abhor violence. A small, extremist fringe has become more vocal, and violent, in recent years................"

Just another one of those "trending" stories.
