Indonesia is the biggest Muslim country in the world with 200 million Muslims. In Indonesia, church and state are strictly separated and the constitution firmly declares freedom of all religions. However, bombs went off at a number of Christian buildings throughout the country on Christmas night of 2000. Radical Islamic groups are trying to violently turn the society towards Islam ever since then. To them, there is no place for non-Muslims in Indonesia.
