Arifinto, a member of the Islamic Prosperous Justice Party, helped pass a tough anti-pornography law.
A photographer took pictures of Arifanto gazing at porn.
Most Indonesian Moslems are moderate and liberal.
But, reportedly, the Saudis have been pouring money into the CIA-linked extremists.
The extremists have pushed through several nut-case laws, including the pornography law.
Indonesians can be jailed for up to 15 years, or fined, for kissing in public, exposure of a woman's bits and pieces or displaying erotic art.
In January 2011, the anti-porn law was used to jail Nazril 'Ariel' Irham, lead singer of Indonesia's most popular band Peterpan, after two home-made sex tapes appeared on the internet.

In Indonesia, money from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf has been financing mosques and preachers demanding a 'purer' form of Islam. (Indonesian Democracy’s Enemy Within)
Beginning in the 1970s, "activists linked to the Saudi-sponsored Islamic World League began indoctrinating small groups at the prestigious Bandung Institute of Technology with Brotherhood materials". (Indonesian Democracy’s Enemy Within)
In 1998, there was the possibility that Indonesia would change its government and become a democracy like Malaysia, where there is no miserable poverty.
Unfortunately, Indonesia's American-trained military hijacked the 1998 protest movement.
The May 1998 riots which toppled Suharto were organised by the military; certain Chinese people were made the scapegoats for all of Indonesia's problems; most of the old elite, consisting of generals, Chinese-Indonesian businessmen, religious leaders and politicians, remained in power; certain factions within the elite lost out.
Now sections of the elite are using Islam to frustrate democracy.
Indonesia's Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) 'is Indonesia's version of the Muslim Brotherhood'.(Playing with Fire in Indonesia).
"According to CIA agent Miles Copeland... the CIA began to cooperate with the Muslim Brotherhood... This signalled the beginning of an alliance between the traditional regimes and mass Islamic movements against Nasser and other secular forces." (aangirfan: The use of the Muslim Brotherhood by MI6 and the CIA in ...)
Why do some poor Indonesians vote for the PKS? They are fed up with "corruption, poor public services, poverty, and the perceived lack of real political choice." (Playing with Fire in Indonesia)
The PKS have been friends with Indonesia's president Yudhoyono, a former Suharto general.
Reportedly, the "founding manifesto" of the Justice Party that went on to become the PKS, called for the creation of an Islamic caliphate. (Indonesian Democracy’s Enemy Within)

2. In Cambodia, the number of orphanages has nearly doubled in five years.
Almost three-quarters of the kids in the orphanages do have parents!
3. "Voluntourism", involving tourists helping out in orphanages, is a fast growing industry.
4. Siem Reap, next to Angkor wat, is a small town in Cambodia.
It has 35 orphanages!
"The children may have been stolen, rented from their parents or tricked from impoverished rural villagers with false promises of wealth, education and healthcare."
5. Some orphanages are involved in child labour and sexual abuse.

6. In Bali, the number of orphanages has doubled in recent years.
Two-thirds of the children in the orphanages have parents.
The orphanages recruit cute children from poor families with promises of food and schooling.
Some of the orphans are forced to work very long hours on building sites. Malnutrition is common.
7. Brenton Whittaker, founder of Bali Kids, says that some directors sell all the donated goods, even medicines, for profit.
8. In Sri Lanka, a study found that 92% of children in orphanages had living parents.
The latest Moslem country to be attacked by Wikileaks is the biggest of them all - Indonesia.
Can we now expect some violence?
In 2009 there were bombs attacks on hotels in Jakarta; more recently there have been attacks on churches; on 15 March 2011 a parcel bomb targeted moderate Muslims.
Indonesia and China signed a strategic partnership during the visit of President Hu Jintao to Jakarta in 2005.
"You are next!"
According to the allegations in the diplomatic cables:
1. President Yudhoyono has got prosecutors and judges to protect the bad guys.
2. He has used the spooks to spy on rivals.
3. His wife wife and family have enriched themselves.
4. He has protected Taufik Kiemas, husband of former president Megawati Sukarnoputri.
Taufik is believed to have profited from various big infrastructure projects.
Taufik is now speaker of Indonesia's parliament.
5. Yudhoyono's former vice-president, Jusuf Kalla, paid "enormous bribes" to win the chairmanship of Golkar, Indonesia's largest political party.
6. Yudhoyono got cabinet secretary Sudi Silalahi to "intimidate" at least one judge in a 2006 court case arising from a fight for control of former president Abdurahman Wahid's National Awakening Party (PKB).
7. Yudhoyono has used the Indonesian State Intelligence Agency (BIN) to spy on both his allies and opponents.
He got the intelligence service to report on Golkar presidential candidate General Wiranto.
At a meeting of Yudhoyono's cabinet, BIN chief Syamsir described Wiranto as a "terrorist mastermind."
Tomy Winata
8.Yudhoyono has links to Chinese-Indonesian businessmen, especially Tomy Winata, an alleged underworld figure and member of the "Gang of Nine" or "Nine Dragons," a leading gambling syndicate.
In 2006, Agung Laksono, now Yudhoyono's Co-ordinating Minister for People's Welfare, told US embassy officers that TB Silalahi "functioned as a middleman, relaying funds from Winata to Yudhoyono."
Tomy Winata reportedly used the entrepreneur Muhammad Lutfi to give money to Yudhoyono.
Yudhoyono appointed Lutfi chairman of Indonesia's Investment Co-ordinating Board.
Senior State Intelligence Agency official Yahya Asagaf also told the US embassy Tomy Winata was trying to cultivate influence by using a senior presidential aide as his link to the president's wife, Kristiani Herawati.
9. In 2006, one presidential staff member told US embassy officers that Kristiani's family members were "specifically targeting financial opportunities related to state-owned enterprises."
The President was "witting of these efforts, which his closest operators (e.g. Sudi Silalahi) would advance, while Yudhoyono himself maintained sufficient distance that he could not be implicated."
The president's wife is "the president's undisputed top adviser."
"Members of the President's staff increasingly feel marginalised and powerless to provide counsel to the President."
Yahya Asagaf of the State Intelligence Agency said the first lady's opinion is "the only one that matters."
10. "Ten years of political and economic reform have made Indonesia democratic, stable, and increasingly confident about its leadership role in south-east Asia and the Muslim world.
"Indonesia has held successful, free and fair elections; has weathered the global financial crisis; and is tackling internal security threats."
But, a series of political scandals in 2009 and 2010 seriously damaged Yudhoyono's political standing.
Yudhoyono was increasingly "paralyzed" as his popularity diminished.
"Unwilling to risk alienating segments of the parliament, media, bureaucracy and civil society, Yudhoyono has slowed reforms. He is also unwilling to cross any constituencies ...
"Until he is satisfied that he has shored up his political position, Yudhoyono is unlikely to spend any political capital to move his reform agenda, or controversial aspects of US -Indonesia relations, forward."
Paul Wolfowitz, US ambassador to Indonesia 1986-89.
Some of the media have been predicting that Egypt will be like Indonesia.
Both have links to terrorism.
Where did the idea of al Qaeda come from?
Back in the 1950s, the CIA and its friends began using Moslem militias to do their dirty work in Indonesia.
In 2003, Australian academic Dr Damien Kingsbury wrote about the Indonesian special forces regiment called Kopassus, which has friendly links to Mossad and the Pentagon.
Former Indonesian President Wahid was saying in 2005: "There is not a single Islamic group ... that is not controlled by (Indonesian) intelligence." 'Demcocracy' in Indonesia is a bit of a fiddle. On 16 February 2011, the New York Times suggests that Indonesia's political landscape offers a path for Egypt
What happened in Indonesia after the CIA's 1998 coup against Suharto?
"At the end of 1999, the UNICEF Jakarta office stated that ... Indonesia will sustain a lost generation; a weak and feeble-minded generation resulting from malnutrition, lack of education, and unhealthiness."(Indonesia's foreign debt: imprisoning the people of ... ) How long before we get more clashes of civilisation in Indonesia?
The New York Times (a path for Egypt) reports on the 2010 national congress of Indonesia's Prosperous Justice Party, which is linked to Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood.
The congress was held at the Ritz Carlton's ballroom in Jakarta.
Among the keynote speakers was Cameron Hume, then the U.S. ambassador to Indonesia, who praised the party, known as the PKS.
According to the New York Times: "Following the 1998 overthrow of the dictator Suharto, Indonesia looked a lot like Egypt now."
Indonesia's Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) wants the Koran to form the basis of law.
The PKS in 2009 got less than 8% of the vote but got four seats in the cabinet of President Yudhoyono, a US trained general.
The PKS was a key force behind Indonesia's 2008 anti-pornography law.
C. Holland Taylor, the Jakarta-based chairman of LibForAll Foundation, which promotes moderate Islam worldwide, says the PKS has been a key factor in the rise of a more austere, intolerant form of Islam in Indonesia.
After two separate attacks in February 2011 by Muslim mobs, in which people were killed and churches torched, a number of PKS leaders said the attackers had been 'provoked' by acts of blasphemy.
"The similarities between Indonesia a decade ago and Egypt today are striking: a Muslim majority, a popular uprising, and the ouster of a long-running strongman." (Could Indonesia's democracy be Egypt's model?)
Let's look at what's been happening in the world's biggest Moslem country, Indonesia, since its 'People Power' revolution in 1998.
In Indonesia, people have to pay for health care and education.

2."Mob rule and religious intolerance are on the rise in Indonesia," according to the Jakarta Globe on 8 February 2011. (Murder in The Name of Religion)
On 8 February 2011, "there were reports of vandalism and firebombing of Catholic schools and churches in Central Java ... suspected to be the work of the Islamic Defenders Front." (Indonesia is no longer a poster child for pluralism)
On 8 February 2011, a "mob of 1,500 Muslims went on the rampage in the central Javanese town of Temanggung.
"This time they were angry about a court verdict given to a Catholic man accused of blaspheming Islam.
On 6 February 2011, in West Java, three members of a Moslem sect were beaten to death by members of the Islamic Defenders Front, a group reportedly linked to elements of the police.
"Footage of the bloody attack in Banten on 6 February showed police officers providing an embarrassingly feeble match for a crowd of 1,500 villagers, equipped with machetes, rocks and bamboo sticks."
Indonesia's current problems with 'religion' may be related to factions within the all-powerful military.
One faction may be trying to destabilise the government.
3.The military is still the power behind the scenes.
The country is still corrupt.
Back in 1998 there were hopes of CHANGE.
The Moslem cleric Abdurrahman Wahidbecame president of Indonesia in 1999.
He promoted free speech and human rights, defended British author Salman Rushdie and visited East Timor to apologize for human rights abuses committed by Indonesian forces during their American backed occupation.
Wahid knew that the Moslem militants were linked to the American trained military. Fundamentalist Islam is a tool to keep the rich elite in power.
Back in the 1960s, the CIA had arranged for the Indonesian military to be put into power in Indonesia.
When he became President, Wahid sought to reform the military and end the control of Indonesian institutions by the American trained generals.
In the year 2000, there was trouble in part of Indonesia called Maluku.
The Indonesian military set up a Moslem militia called Laskar Jihad (similar to the CIA's al Qaeda)
Laskar Jihad was transported to Maluku by the military.
Wahid had ordered the military to block Laskar Jihad from going to Maluku[40]
Laskar Jihad were being financed by Fuad Bawazier, the last Minister of Finance to have served under Suharto.
Most Moslems are hospitable and moderate. The fundamentalists are promoted by the CIA as a way of keeping Moslems weak.
There was trouble in West Papua.
Wahid wanted to follow a policy of moderation. This was opposed by the military and its alleged puppets, such as Megawati, in other political parties.
On 24 December 2000, there were attacks directed against churches in Jakarta and in eight cities across Indonesia.
It is suspected that the American trained Indonesian military were behind the attacks.
Wahid was forced out of office.
Wahid discussed his suspicions regarding the involvement of the Indonesian police and military in the Bali Bombings, in an interview in the documentary Inside Indonesia's War on Terrorism which was aired by SBS Dateline on October 12, 2005.
Wahid was saying in 2005 of the Bali bombings: "The orders to do this or that came from within our armed forces... There is not a single Islamic group ... that is not controlled by (Indonesian) intelligence."
Indonesia's intelligence services are said to work closely with the CIA.
The series of 38 church bombings on Christmas Eve, 2000, killed 19 people in 11 Indonesian cities. (Source: Kopassus)
Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) was blamed.
However, in February 2001, the respected Indonesian newsweekly Tempo published a cover story suggesting links between the bombings and the Indonesian military, the TNI.
The article pointed out that Edi Sugiarto, who was quickly arrested and confessed to assembling 15 of the bombs used in the town of Medan, has long run a car repair shop in the province of Aceh, where a separatist group named GAM has been fighting for many years.
Members of TNI and Indonesia’s special forces, Kopassus, regularly went to his shop for repairs and just to hang out.
As a result, GAM claimed he was a TNI lackey and burned down his shop and house in 1997.
Phone records also indicated that Sugiarto called Fauzi Hasbi seven times before the bombings.
Hasbi is a leader of JI, but Tempo outed him as an Indonesian government mole.
In 2005, two years after Hasbi’s death, the Australian television program SBS Dateline provided additional evidence of Hasbi’s long-time links to the TNI.
Fasbi also called Jacob Tanwijaya, a businessman well connected with the TNI, 35 times.
That businessman in turn talked on the phone to Lt. Col. Iwan Prilianto, a Kopassus special forces intelligence officer, over 70 times. (Source: Kopassus)
The people who run Aceh are mainly mad and bad people.
In January 2010 it was reported that three members of Aceh's Shariah Police had raped a young student.
"The kind of rape by men in authority in Aceh is not uncommon in communities that employ Shariah law.
"In Indonesia, it is not uncommon for a migrant worker to return home from working as a maid in Saudi Arabia only to give birth to an Arab-looking baby.
"If a maid is raped by her boss in Saudi Arabia the best thing she can hope for is to get home alive, because under that nation’s form of Shariah law, she could be sentenced to death for adultery."(Aceh Rape Shows Danger of Shariah Law The Jakarta Globe)
Indonesian Moslems have much to be proud of and much to be ashamed of.
Indonesian Moslems can be proud of the fact that Indonesia has on the whole resisted the fascist style of Islam that is used in Saudi Arabia to keep the rich and corrupt elite in power.
Most Indonesian Moslems have a reputation for moderation and hospitality.
Bali
Some Indonesian Moslems can be proud of the fact that they have educated themselves about how the CIA, in league with Saudi intelligence and Mossad, uses Moslems in its acts of false flag terrorism, acts which are designed to keep the rich and corrupt elite in power. (USA SEEKS CONTROL OF INDONESIA?We must not get back in bed with Kopassus - theage.com.au)
Indonesian Moslems should be ashamed of the way that, in 1965, certain Moslems helped the CIA topple President Sukarno and helped the CIA and its friends in the Indonesian military murder up to one million Indonesians.
Former President Wahid apologized for the 1965 killings on behalf of his Muslim association, Nahdlatul Ulama.
Indonesian Moslems should be ashamed of the fact that so many of Indonesia's rich Moslems do little or nothing to help the vast number of poor and undernourished Moslems.
Indonesia spends little on health education and public housing.
In Indonesia it is quite common for people to eat drink and smoke during the daylight hours of Ramadan.
Such people try to be discreet about it.
Most Indonesians just like to have fun.
But some of the inhabitants of the relatively remote and primitive province of Aceh in Sumatra are mad fundamentalists.
They seem to get a thrill from treating women in a sadistic way.
On 2 October 2010, we read that two women were publicly caned in Aceh, in Indonesia for selling rice during Ramadan
Murni Amris, 27, received three lashes and Rukiah Abdullah, 22, two.
This act of apparent sadism took place in front of a crowd of hundreds at a mosque in the city of Jantho, southeast of the provincial capital, Banda Aceh.
Murni and Rukiah were found guilty of violating sharia law by selling rice at a stall during daylight during Ramadan.
Sharia law was introduced in Aceh in 2005.
Marzuki Abdullah is the 'Nazi' head of Aceh’s sharia police.
The poor are generaly hospitable and liberal. The elite use fascism to stay in power.
It is believed that the CIA and the corrupt and decadent Saudi leadership finance various extremist Moslem groups.
It is believed that the CIA and the Saudis promote the Wahhabi version of Islam.
Wahhabis, like fundamentalist Christians and Hindus, are easy to brainwash, manipulate and control.
A Wahhabi is easily turned into a patsy.
Wahhabis keep the feudal lords in power and keep Moslem countries backward.
Not so long ago, the Islamic Defenders' Front, who are linked to the fascist elite, assaulted Christian worshippers while they held a service in the West Java town of Bekasi, on the outskirts of Jakarta. (Terrorism in Indonesia: Arrest of a smiling extremist)
Yahya Zaini, a senior Indonesian politician, resigned from his position after he was featured with an Indonesian Dangdut singer, Maria Eva, 29, in a steamy sex video that was widely circulated over the internet.
Mr. Zaini was the head of his party's religious affairs committee, which has responsibility for moral issues.
The laws include punishments for drinking alcohol and homosexuality.
Bustanul Arifin, of the Islamist Prosperous Justice Party, sat on the committee that oversaw the bill.
''We based the law on the Koran and the hadith,'' said Arifin.
Aceh has had a form of sharia since 2002.
A sharia police force has been created.
Jakartass refers to legislators trying to "foist their largely unwanted agenda on the electorate. The most notorious example has to be that of the Aceh regional government which believes that stoning adulterers will eradicate sexual 'deviants' and caning will cure homosexuals (even though sado-masochism is, for some, a form of sexual deviancy.)"

These Indonesian generals got their soldiers to dress up as students in order to carry out the rioting; the military transported criminal gangs into Jakarta; youths were paid to act as rioters.
When the May 1998 Jakarta riots took place, the uniformed military were invisible.
The tanks only appeared after the president had been fatally weakened.
The Iranian media has reported that Israeli secret agents and Commandos are among the protestors and that they are deliberately creating riots and preventing the city from returning to order.
According to the Iranians, Egypt's Vice-President Suleiman is working for Israel.
7. The Iranian Revolution of 1970 was "on the lines of an Islamicized French Revolution (mob rule, executions, secret courts, destruction and displacement of the former ruling class etc.)
"The revolutionaries managed to create a powerful police state that now spearheads the clash of civilizations rhetoric prescribed by the Powers That Be.
"The secret ties of the Western ruling elite with some of the revolutionaries has been documented."
Little did Mossadegh and the Shah know that "the Powers That Be saw them only as temporary placeholders until Iran was consolidated under a new regime that was to play a critical role in advancing the 'Clash of Civilizations' agenda."
