Is Indonesia Still A Bastion Of Moderate Islam & Diversity? | Insight | Full Episode

Earlier in the year, Nahdlatul Ulama, the largest Islamic organisation in the world, celebrated its 100th Anniversary. At its Centennial, it called for Muslims to anchor their faith on the nation-state, rather than a universal caliphate. NU reiterated a need for moderate Islam, in line with Indonesia's secular political identity, eschewing radicalisation.

Meanwhile, anti-Israel protests have led to the cancellation of the U-20 World Cup in Indonesia. Some fear that the politicisation of religion has already begun as the Presidential election approaches. Can Indonesia’s unique brand of religion, known as Islam Nusantara, prevent a repeat of the religious riots in 2019?
