An inside look at how a fledgling democracy is struggling to
control the rise of religious extremism.
This episode explores Indonesia's long history of moderation
in its practice of Islam, and how Islamist radicals have made the
country a flash point in the global war on terror. The film
provides an inside look at how this fledgling democracy, with its
moderate Muslim majority that practices Islam markedly differently
from that in the Middle East, is struggling to control the rise of
religious extremism. A potential model for Muslim democracy
emerges, if Indonesia can succeed in containing the terrorist
threat.
