Mr. Moshe. Yes, that is the face of Islam that I see everyday in this largest Muslim majority nation. It's becoming worse since the former dictator fell from the throne. In his era, extremist groups were suppressed, and the news about events around the globe that could fuel the hatred was censored. Now after his era, those extremists are free to agitate the people with their view and gain high supports. Now terrors are everywhere, churches forced to close or bombed, Buddha's statue forced to be removed, high ulema publicly stated that salute to nation's flag is a sin.. To make things worse, govt de-radicalization effort shows no result because the "moderates" show no real supports. It's just a matter of time here, and I believe, in America/Europe too.
