Summary: Does the proliferation of jilbabs (headscarves) in Indonesia since 1998 mean the nation has gone hardline? How did democracy happen in Indonesia, which has the largest population of Muslims in the world, and will it stick? Is the term 'Muslim feminist' an oxymoron? Do Muslims even like sex? Julia's Jihad provides the answer to these questions and much, much more: how the nation struggles to maintain the 'unity in diversity' of its 300 ethnic groups; how it practices 'political cannibalism' to deal with to its human rights problems; how environmentally we 'burn our own house down', and a whole lot of the other weird and wacky things that make Indonesia the fascinating bundle of contradictions it is
