As Indonesia debates Islam's role, U.S. stays out

I found this article the other day and it gives a good overview of the role and impact of Islam in Indonesia and the different elements working through society under the name of Islam.

I agree that Indonesia has plenty of other issues such as corruption and the rule of law that need help and trying to influence Indonesian religious beliefs so directly can only increase the US's reputation for meddling and targeting Islam when there are more appropriate issues to help fix.
