Devout Muslims in Indonesia are currently waging a political campaign to outlaw all sexual activity outside the bounds of legally sanctioned marriage. Citing the holy Koran as their authority, they want to stamp out prostitution, adultery, sexual promiscuity, premarital sex, homosexuality and pornography. The ultimate aim of the devout Muslims is to transform Indonesia into a Islamic caliphate that enforces sharia law and punishes all those who dare to question the supreme authority of the Koran.Jack Falworth's latest book is a carefully researched study of the above campaign to impose Islam's strict moral code upon the Indonesian population. The topics covered in his book include: (a) Closure of official brothel complexes throughout Indonesia; (b) Vigilante action by the Islamic Defenders Front; (c) Enforcement of Sharia Law in Aceh Province; and (d) Submission of a Bill to outlaw sex outside marriage.As well as describing the activities of the devout Muslims, the book also describes the strong opposition that these activities have encountered among more liberal-minded Indonesians.
