leader: Islam in Indonesia is modern, it is forward thinking, said the leader, who is popularly known as Jokowi -- a nickname he said was given to him by a French businessman while he was working as a furniture salesman, according to CNN. In his second term as leader, Joko faces an uphill battle of uniting the world's most populous Muslim nation, and fighting what he calls hoaxes and fake news that influenced the mind of the people. I still believe that Islam in Indonesia is a tolerant and moderate Islam. We now have to restore the situation and work together to build this country, he said, at the Merdeka Palace in Jakarta. The Constitutional Court subsequently threw out Prabowo's bid to overturn the result, calling it legally groundless. Joko's comments came after a bitter electoral race against his longtime rival, former general Prabowo Subianto, who refused to accept the election result, alleging widespread ballot-rigging that sparked deadly clashes in the capital.
