Alinsky counsels making 'em live up to their own rules.
[Breitbart] Imam Habib Rizieq Shihab, the leader of the Shariah promotion group the Islam Defenders Front (FPI) is facing criminal charges of violating Indonesia’s laws against blasphemy after a Catholic group accused him of mocking the birth of Jesus Christ.
[Breitbart] An Indonesian court will prosecute Jakarta’s Christian governor who has been accused of blasphemy against the Qur’an, a judge announced on Tuesday.
A panel of judges rejected a petition by the legal defense team of governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, known by his nickname "Ahok," to throw out the case because it had violated the politician’s human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... and disregarded procedural protocol.
As a Christian and an ethnic Chinese, Mr. Purnama has two strikes against him in the world’s most Moslem country and hardline Islamic groups have protested his rule ever since he was elected in 2014.
Last month, Islamic conservatives rose up against Ahok accusing the governor of having manipulated a verse from the Qur’an to support his claim that it is permissible for Moslems to be governed by non-Moslems. On November 4, a mob of 150,000 Islamic protesters staged a massive march in the capital city of Jakarta, demanding a death sentence for Ahok. Similar demonstrations took place in other cities throughout Indonesia.
On Tuesday morning, hundreds more protesters dressed in white gathered outside the courthouse in north Jakarta chanting "Allahu Akbar" (God is great) and calling for the governor to be incarcerated Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! .
The lead judge on the panel, Dwiyarso Budi Santiarto, said the defense could appeal to a higher court if they did not agree with the decision to move forward with the case. After consulting his lawyers, Ahok told the court he would "think about it."

all Muslim societies eventually tend towards theocracy and that's why they end up either under secular dictatorship or sharia
Indonesia has only been out of dictatorship since the 1990s. In another 20 years it will be a theocracy or another dictatorship
that's because the problem with Islam is not just in the interpretation but also in the texts
so given a liberal democracy the theocrats use their freedom to grow their religitarded power base, and because they accurately quote holy books of islam to support their position, they gain ground
it happens everywhere. Look at the 56 Islamic nations: how many democracies? And of those are they moving towards theocracy? Yes. Even Turkey requires periodic secular army coups to beat back the Islamotards - and Erdogan prevented that this cycle.
