Young back sharia-based bylaws: Survey | The Jakarta Post
More than 56 percent of youths in the Greater Jakarta area support sharia-based bylaws, but almost 80 percent believe in the Pancasila state ideology that protects Indonesia’s diversity, a new survey shows.

The survey, designed to capture youths’ views of nationalism and pluralism, was conducted between May 6 and May 30 by the Setara Institute for Democracy and Peace in Jakarta, Bekasi, Depok and Tangerang.

The 800 respondents were aged between 17 and 22 years and will be first-time voters in the 2009 legislative and presidential elections.
