'Us' and 'Them.' (Muslim activists in Indonesia seek economic power)
Article Abstract:
There is growing support in Indonesia for the view that the 87% Muslim majority in the country should take control of the economy from the ethnic-Chinese minority, which accounts for only 3% of the population. This stance is creating concern among foreign investors, who fear that growing opposition to Indonesia's mainly Catholic- and Buddhist-Chinese entrepreneurs would have a negative impact on economic recovery and on the value of the rupiah. It remains uncertain how far Muslim economic nationalism will progress.

Article Abstract:
Indonesian Muslims hope to raise their profile and improve communications via an internet site. The site, at http://www.inkom.lipi.go.id./muslim.html, provides information on various aspects of Islamic life and the ability to communicate with e-mail. Users cannot talk directly because there is no moderator to filter inflammatory communications. The intent of the site is to help heal long-standing religious disagreements and to improve Indonesian Muslim lives through information on education and business skills.
