World’s largest Muslim Country Bans Islamic State

Indonesian authorities recently condemned the Islamic State, Sunni extremist militants who have taken over large portions of territory in Iraq and Syria, killing hundreds of innocent civilians in the process and ordered a ban on YouTube videos that in any way support the Jihadists. Despite being home to the world's largest population of Muslims, Indonesia is a pluralistic state with myriad ethnic groups and religious minorities. Still, its government struggle with the serious fear of home-made extremism.

"The government rejects and bans the teachings of (the Islamic State) from growing in Indonesia. It is not in line with state ideology ... or the philosophy of (diversity) under the unitary state of the Republic of Indonesia," said Djoko Suyanto, who is a former commander in chief of the Indonesian military and now he holds a senior cabinet post in the country's newly shaped government.
