Indonesia poll result challenged
Source: BBC

One of the defeated candidates in Indonesia's presidential election is to challenge the result, a spokesman says.

Former president Megawati Sukarnoputri believed that there were "unresolved legal issues" over the vote, said her party spokesman Gayus Lumbuun.

Mrs Megawati secured 26.8% of the vote, compared to incumbent President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's 60.8%.

A spokesman for the third candidate, Vice-President Jusuf Kalla, has said he will challenge the voter lists.

Apparently there were some votes from beyond the grave, among other irregularities.

Is Indonesia turning red?

Disputed Indonesia Poll

Indonesian Democracy: not a mode for Islamic world



Today, the non-Islamic world, led by the anti-Islamic global outfits, has equated their regimes as democratic ones and Muslim regimes are counter posed to the democracy values and have successfully managed to project Muslim world, especially Arab nations, anti-democratic because they are ruled by Muslims and don’t let non-Muslims to rule over their nations. This attitude presupposes that Christian and Jewish world is being ruled by Muslims and the anti-Islamic democrats let the Muslims control them and their resources.



Islamic Indonesia, essentially ruled by Christian leaders, is being spotted by the western criminal democracies as the best democracy of the world, because non-Muslims have managed to rule an Islamic country. Western anti-Islamic media hawks recommend Indonesia for all Muslim nations, including the Arab world, to enable the Muslims to live in great harmony with Christian-Jewish world. USA or any other western nation should also try it with a Muslim ruler. Yudhoyono and Sukarnoputri should promote Muslim leadership propelry and hand over power to them. But choose uncorruptable peole.

Let all so-caleld democracies first practice what they have promoted in Indoanesia in a sustaned manner for decades before asking the Islamic and Arab world to emulate the Indonesian model for their civilizational survival in the face of threat posed to them by the anti-Islamic GSTs across the world, eseically USA, NATO, Israel, India, etc. Or else, Indonesia should elect only Muslim leaders to rule them but with full sincerity. So far no Muslim wnation has asked the world to folow theri system or custom by the non-Islamic nations. How many non-Muslim naitons have offfered their top post of governnace ot a Muslim? Russia and China are killing Musims in Muslimm naitons now under their rule. Why not Russia and China chose a Muslim as their president? Do they want USA or UK or France or Germany tofirst appoint a Musim as their sovering president?
