Video: Jakarta Governor Defends Himself at Trial
Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, the governor of Jakarta, as his blasphemy trial opened on Tuesday in Indonesia, denied that he had intended to insult the Koran.http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2016/12/14/world/asia/ap-as-indonesia-radicalism.html

protests demanding his arrest have challenged the image of Indonesia as
practicing a moderate form of Islam and shaken the secular government.
The blasphemy furor has also given a national stage to the Islamic
Defenders Front, previously better known as a morals vigilante group
with members involved in protection rackets.
Its
leader, Rizieq Shihab, told a Dec. 2 protest in Jakarta that Indonesia
would be peaceful if there was no blasphemy and other problems such as
gays."
