You mention East Timor, Banjar.
How the heck did an Arab Muslim like Altakiri get elected as head of a predominantly Catholic country?
With the reported involvement of Catholic bishops in recent meetings, obviously the "Church" is involved in their politics, which no doubt would be resented by the Pro-Indonesia Muslims present.

BTW, Avoiding places of education was another condition on our Surat Jalans.
