Jakarta : A majority of Indonesians would like to see Sharia law implemented in their country, a new poll shows. The poll of 8,000 people in the world’s most populous Muslim country, home to 200 million Muslims, found that 52 per cent favored some form of Islamic legal code, such as religious arbitration in family disputes. Asked if women should be made to wear a head scarf 45 per cent said yes, while 40 per cent favored chopping off the hands of thieves.
“A lot of people think the idea is very good, but when you start talking of every day implications, the number dropped,” said Ira Soekirman of Roy Morgan Research, an Australian company which conducted the survey.
