I get the impression that he thinks religious freedom means freedom for Christians to do whatever they want – including killing Muslims.

Most of what you are telling me about Indonesia might as well be in Greek, as you probably know. I am clueless about the area.

Madame Chang died this week, age 105. That brings back a lot of memories. I had an aunt who was a Christian Missionary in Hong Kong for a Holy Roller Southern sect. Very sweet lady. She went over in the 20's and went totally native. Got imprisoned during WWII. By the 60s, she could pass for a Chinese. Every time she came back on a Sabbatical, She would make the rounds of her Churches, telling them how she was bringing God to the Heathen.

We had thousands of people like her going to the Far East, starting around 1800. Everybody knows about the ones here in the Islands, due to Michener, but most were in China and Southeast Asia. The Roosevelt family had a lot of relatives over there.

So our whole picture of the area is colored by the tales of the put upon Christians suffering under the lash of other Religions. Big reason Chiang married Madame Chiang was to get in with the Chinese Christians.

OTOH, Mohammadism is a "Barrack's Religion." It was founded and spread by a Warrior.
