Bali is 90% Hindu, but Indonesia as a whole is 90% Islam.

There is constant unrest in Indonesia. A few decades ago, literally one-third of the Chinese population was murdered in roiting. The word amok comes from the region. When the Indonesians roit, they really let loose.

Bali has been peaceful, but who knows. When one-third of a large ethnic group can be murdered with impunity. Wow.
