Indonesia's largest Muslim organisation, claiming more than 100m followers. It promotes an inclusive Islam that blends with local traditions. Nahdlatul Ulama runs schools, hospitals and universities in the world's third-largest democracy, while promoting the idea that Islamic values and democracy reinforce each other. Indonesian Islam as practised by the organisation has absorbed centuries of Hindu-Buddhist practices, animist beliefs and diverse indigenous cultures.
