Indonesians Rally In Support of Caliphate
In Jakarta, Indonesia on Sunday, some 80,000 people attended a rally in support of re-establishing the Islamic Caliphate. Today's CNS News reports on the gathering, organized by the Sunni organization, Hizb ut-Tahrir (Party of Liberation). More mainstream Muslim leaders in Indonesia reject the call for recreating a single Islamic state. Government authorities at Indonesian airports denied entry to a British and and Australian supporter who were to speak at the rally.
