6 million Muslims convert to Christianity in Africa every year, 2 million in Indonesia, hundreds of thousands in Iran and across the Middle East; it is a global trend now. More people than ever before are now waking up to the fact Islam brings nothing new or beneficial to their society, and that Muhammad is not a role model for the modern human being - having married and had sexual relations with a 9 year old child (Sahih Muslim 8:3309; Sahih Bukhari 1:6:298) and beheaded people in the hundreds (Ibn Ishaq Page 515). Furthermore, more and more people are realizing that the Allah of the Qu\'ran is not God, but only Muhammad\'s alter-ego and invention, who loved to intervene in Muhammad\'s sex life by stating that Muhammad could have any woman sexually he desired (Qu\'ran 33:51) and who doesn\'t know basic human anatomy, thinking that sperm comes from between the backbone and the ribs (Qu\'ran 86:7) instead of the testicles. As more and more people around the world see that Islam is not helping their society, that Muhammad is not a role model for the modern human being, and that the Allah of the Qu\'ran is not God, one can expect to continue to see Islam decline. Defying the calls of death for apostasy that are part and parcel of Sharia Law (Sahih Bukhari 9:84:57), more and more people from traditional Muslim-majority countries are leaving Islam and accepting other religions, particularly choosing to follow Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour....

Technology is helping fuel that growth, and producing a new generation of young entrepreneurs. One of these \"technopreneurs\" is Nadiem Makarim. He graduated from the Harvard Business School in Boston, Massachusetts. He returned home and launched Go-Jek. This service connects motorcycle taxis, called ojeks, with people who need a ride or a delivery. Go-Jek uses online maps, mobile phones and a call center. The aim is to improve Jakarta\'s disorganized motorcycle taxi system. Nadiem Makarim says everything depends on a business plan. \"I firmly believe that business and just straight up rational business growth, profitable business growth and social impact are not mutually exclusive.\" Go-Jek recently won ten thousand dollars in a competition through the American State Department\'s Global Entrepreneurship Program. Indonesia is one of five countries in this program which links startup businesses with investors. Many startups are Internet-based services. Indonesia already has more than seven hundred startups online, and new ones are launched every week. Half of Indonesians still live on less than two dollars a day. But Indonesia has a young population interested in trying new technology.Right now, about forty-five million Indonesians, or only about one in five, use the Internet. But about half of those people use mobile devices to go online, and those...

Indonesia (i/ˌɪndəˈniË?Ê’É™/ IN-dÉ™-NEE-zhÉ™ or /ˌɪndoÊ?ˈniË?ziÉ™/ IN-doh-NEE-zee-É™), officially the Republic of Indonesia (Indonesian: Republik Indonesia Indonesian pronunciation: [rÉ›pÊ?blɪk ɪndÉ”nÉ›sɪa]), is a country in Southeast Asia and Oceania. Indonesia is an archipelago comprising approximately 17,508 islands. It has 33 provinces with over 238 million people, and is the world's fourth most populous country. Indonesia is a republic, with an elected legislature and president. The nation's capital city is Jakarta. The country shares land borders with Papua New Guinea, East Timor, and Malaysia. Other neighboring countries include Singapore, Philippines, Australia, and the Indian territory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Indonesia is a founding member of ASEAN and a member of the G-20 major economies. The Indonesian economy is the world's 17th largest economy by nominal GDP.
The Indonesian archipelago has been an important trade region since at least the 7th century, when Srivijaya and then later Majapahit traded with China and India. Local rulers gradually absorbed foreign cultural, religious and political models from the early centuries CE, and Hindu and Buddhist kingdoms flourished. Indonesian history has been influenced by foreign powers drawn to its natural resources. Muslim traders brought Islam, and European powers brought Christianity and fought one another to monopolize trade in the Spice Islands of Maluku during the Age of Discovery. Following three and a half centuries of Dutch colonialism, Indonesia secured its independence after World War II. Indonesia's history has since been turbulent, with challenges posed by natural disasters, corruption, separatism, a democratization process, and periods of rapid economic change.
