    Joko Widodo, Indonesia's president, has taken a moderate approach to governing the Muslim-majority country by sheltering Christians during riots, appointing women to leadership positions, and banning radical Islamic groups. However, conservative Islamic politics are on the rise in Indonesia, with thousands of mosques receiving funding from Middle Eastern countries promoting Saudi and Qatari styles of Islam. There are concerns that Indonesia, once known for its tolerant and moderate version of Islam, may be shifting to a harder-line path under the growing influence of foreign forms of conservative Islam.

    JAKARTA, Indonesia — Joko Widodo, the Muslim president of Indonesia, is into heavy
    metal and saving Christians.

    Earlier in his political career, he helped shelter ethnic Chinese Christians who were being
    targeted during deadly rioting. And upon winning the presidency in 2014, Mr. Joko filled
    his government departments and leadership positions with women. He also banned a
    radical Islamic group that calls for Islamic law to replace Indonesia’s democracy. His
    election was seen as a victory for the moderate Islam that has long flourished in this
    country.
