about 90% of Indonesians are Muslim

only around 9% of Indonesians are Christian

Islam is basically stable as a percentage of the Indonesian population

1980 87.94% Muslim - 2010 87.18% Muslim

there has been a small rise of the Protestant Christians as a percentage of the population

1980 5.82% Protestant Christians - 2010 6.96% Protestant

there has been a reduction in numbers of Catholic Christians as a percentage of the population

1980 2.98% Catholic Christians - 2010 2.91% Catholic

statistics found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Indonesia

in 20 years the Christians only managed a small rise as a percentage of the population.

it needs to be countered with dawa,

but the use of figures that are presented is somewhat misleading.

to put it simply the Christians rew by considerably less than half a million heads a year. whilst that same period the growth of the Muslims was about 4 million heads a year and at the end of the day there are still a massive 207 million Indonesian Muslims compared to a meagre 16 million Indonesian Christians.
