Indonesia , Turky and Muslims


Goutham Kondapavuluri Indonesia is a very bad example here. Indonesian constitution don't recognize all religion is secular sense The government recognizes only six official religions (Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Confucianism).[4][5][6] Although based on data collected by the Indonesian Conference on Religion and Peace (ICRP), there are about 245 non-official religions in Indonesia

The constitution of Indonesia don't recognize any religion until they proclaim that they believe in monotheism. If some people or religion have belief in polytheism than it is not recognized in Indonesia. For that reason Animists are bound to declare themselves as Hindus [Hindu priests there have declared Hinduism to be Monotheistic belief]

Buddhists are mandated to declare themselves as Monotheists 
Buddhism is a non theistic religion but for the sake of recognition they also have to declare themselves as Monotheists. See the following extract from Wiki 

"Following the downfall of President Sukarno in the mid-1960s, Pancasila was reasserted as the official Indonesian policy on religion to only recognise monotheism .[40] As a result, founder of Perbuddhi (Indonesian Buddhists Organisation), Bhikku Ashin Jinarakkhita, proposed that there was a single supreme deity, Sang Hyang Adi Buddha."

For some years in between Indonesia banned Chinese religions and Atheism is not recognized. Ahmaddiyahs as usual are discriminated. 

Salafis are now entering Indonesia and it will not be long before they radicalize the general liberal outlook of Indonesians and arabize the Indian languages sounding names of malls, streets etc

Only good example I can think of is Turkey and the main credit goes to great "Mustafa Kemel Atraturk"
