In South East Asia, the Knowledge Programme on Promoting Pluralism focuses on the state of pluralism in Indonesia. With a population of over 215 million, of whom 86% is Muslim, Indonesia is the country with the largest majority Muslim population in the world. About 9% of the population is Christian and the remaining 5% belongs to the Hindu, Buddhist or other religious groups. Historically, tension existed between the religious groups and pluralism is a heavily debated issue in present-day Indonesia. The Knowledge Programme on Promoting Pluralism will focus on religious pluralism and emphasise the day-to-day practices of different religious groups living in one country.
