Islamic Defenders Front goes after gay Indonesians

Indonesia's image as a modern Muslim country is threatened by attempts by hard-liners to enforce anti-LGBT religious laws.

"They choose to be with people of the same sex, and it is a crime in our religion. If the government doesn't want to do anything about them, we have to," said a member of the anti-gay group Islamic Defenders Front.
