Shia Islam in Indonesia

Shi'a Islam in Indonesia represents a small minority in that largely-Sunni Muslim country.

[1] Indonesian Shia are found in areas of Java, Madura and Sumatra.

The orang sipahi traditionally practise the Shia tabut ritual, though in Aceh it has been banned since 1953.

[3] The 2010 report to the United States Congress by the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom noted attacks against the Shia communities in Indonesia, particularly in East Java and Madura in 2008.
