I'm leaving if sharia is imposed

Thank you for publishing the letter from I Wayan Setiawan entitled Return to "dark ages" (The Jakarta Post, Oct. 9).

I am a Muslim and I have been living in Indonesia for 12 years. I own a house and I love this country. But, if one day, sharia is implemented in this country, I will be ready to leave and settle in an another country in Southeast Asia, where a minority will not be able to impose laws and extremism on the majority.
