No More Bikinis in Bali? Muslim Indonesia Planning Ban

According to news reports:
FIRST it was the Bali bombers, now it is law-makers in faraway Jakarta that threaten to drive Aussies from the resort island. Bikini-clad tourists may have to cover up if a law is passed across Indonesia.
The Bill is designed to define pornography and set a moral tone across the vast, mainly Muslim archipelago. Bali, which is mainly Hindu, is up in arms, fearing for its easy-going lifestyle and sensual charms. The Bill, which could be passed in weeks, criminalises all public acts and material capable of raising sexual desires or violating “community morality”, including poetry and music.
Balinese legislators, rights activists, artists and tourism operators plan to join forces in a campaign of civil disobedience against the move. They say it will encourage Muslim extremists to enforce their values on Bali.
“Balinese . . . have a different view on what sexual or pornographic materials are,” Bali intellectual Wayan Sayoga said at a rally of 5,000 people on Wednesday.
