My prediction apparentlyis right.The only though non secular muslim party is PKS. Their leaders try to create public perception that their party is a moderate one, but I believe they have failed to do that. It is almost certain in the next administration of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyuno (I believe he will be reelected) this party may create headache to him when issues in regard of islamic rulings are out of attention in the cabinet. When Indonesian is getting prosper the secular group will become stronger and stronger, proofing to the international society that the Indonesian is a really moderate moslem country.
