Indonesian-Muslim Priorities and the Rohingya Crisis

Indonesian Muslims prioritize economic growth, national prosperity, unity, education, and the rule of law. The decline in vote for Islamically-oriented parties in Indonesia is attributed to beliefs about the parties, mainstreaming of political Islam, and fracturing of Islamist parties. Meanwhile, the roots of the Rohingya conflict lie in colonial history, citizenship laws, and the impact of Burmese reforms, leading to their statelessness.
