Indonesia: One In Ten Muslims Support Violent Jihad

That's about 18 million Muslims.

Indonesia, with 220 million people, has the largest population of Muslims in any nation. It has 187 million Muslims, 85% of the total demographic. A survey was released yesterday, carried out by the Indonesian Survey Institute (LSI).

In a statement, the report's authors state: "Jihad that has been understood partially and practised with violence is justified by around one in 10 Indonesian Muslims. They approved the bombings conducted...in Bali with the excuse of defending Islam."
