33/25 Howard Zindiq - ‘Shariah don’t like it ...?’ Punk and religion in Indonesia

Pamphlet from Active Distribution which was still in the pile from the 2016 Anarchist Bookfair. Unsurprisingly it's a complicated issue but the text doesn't really get beyond being surprised at this. Some interesting examples of secularist/anti-religious punks alongside the expected cultural and religious muslims who happen to be punks.
