Rock Against Intolerance

The Washington Post has an inspiring article on “Rock Star Rattles Radical Islam,” about Ahmad Dhani and the Indonesian popular music group Dewa. Their “Warriors for Love” is an anthem against radical political Islamism and for peace and social harmony.

They work closely with an outstanding group based in Indonesia, LibForAll. They have published in Bahasa Indonesia a book on Islam, the State, and Civil Society and are collaborating with my colleagues at the Lamp of Liberty to produce a full edition in Arabic, thus taking an Islamic message of toleration and freedom from Indonesia to the Arab world.
