"Islam is by far the most common religion in Jakarta, accounting for almost 86% of the population according to data from the 2010 Census. This is followed by Protestantism (7.5%), Buddhism (3.3%), Catholicism (3.15%), Hinduism (0.21%) and Confucianism (0.06%)."

Jakarta is a fascinatingly large city, the most cosmopolitan, and arguably one of Asia's best nightlife cities up on par with Bangkok and Manila.

But we also read about Hardline Islam and influence from radical Middle East groups. The opposition to a recent Mayor being a case in point.

That being said, it is still 14% non-Muslim, 86% Muslim. Of those that are Muslim, many are not radicalized at all. But when you have a metro population region of nearly 30 million people, you have all kinds. We've also been reading about how the hijab has become a strong fashion statement among young women, and all things Arabic-related is popular with the young as well.

So, what do you think? Is Jakarta a Muslim city, or not one? And why do you think so?

Muslim city? Maybe not.
But conservatism toward Islam is growing lately. Jakarta, Banten, West Java are 3 most conservative provinces in Java Island to begin with. So not a surprise.

I've read that maybe 10-15 years ago, it was much more secular. Now the hijab is much more common, particularly with the youth.

Well it depends on how you view Islamic city. There is an obvious non-Muslim minority and the city does not force Islamic law upon all, but it's clearly dominated by Islam.

Kuala Lumpur is somewhat in the same boat, where the multiculturalism is obvious to see and on full display, yet the government clearly pushes for Islam and portrays the nation as such.

Science is one way for sure. There have been some Malays and Indonesians who have questioned the long term validity of Islam and wondered at the relevance of importing a foreign religion. The same could be said of the Philippines in many ways. Duterte, was mocking Christianity not too long ago.

But, i'm not going to divulge into that, as it's probably off topic.

I think indonesia, malaysia, and the phillipines need to reunite and cast off the ways of the bedoiun, papalism, and communism and go back to ways of the garuda like the Majapahit. Malaysia needs to drive on the other side of the road.


Durterte has some good ideas for the phillipines like renaming it instead keeping it named after a spanish king and getting away from papalism. But he's crazier than trump. He'll sell out the country out to people's republic of china. He also seems sympathetic to the bedoiun cause.
