Do you truly believe what you wrote so far regarding Indonesia and democracy? Let me ask you': "what do you define as democracy?' Let me guess: democracy is according to you once in 4 or 5 years put your vote on a political candidate?
If Indonesia truly believe in democracy, how come Aceh has sharia law and ignored non muslims minorities rights who are treated with sharia law too although they are not muslims?

ABSTRACT
This article aims at examining the recent (re)construction of citizenship in Aceh, which is based on sharia as well as on ethno-religious nationalism, and the impact of this (re)construction on minority rights in the province. Because sharia has become a cultural, social, political and legal fact in Aceh, the province has gradually created its own notion of civic belonging, which departs from national citizenship, defined by religion and protected by religious ethno-nationalism. It is argued that such religious ethno-nationalism has created what we call
dormant citizenship, in which citizens of Aceh are divided on the basis of religious affiliation into ‘ummatic citizens’, who are considered as the ‘hosts’ of the sharia land with their full rights, and non-ummatic citizens, who are considered as ‘guests’ with only partial rights provided by the ‘hosts’. We shall also argue that dormant citizenship is a synthesis between four political traditions: Islamic, ethnic, Indonesian, and Western. At the end of this article, we shall outline some conditions that might enable non-Muslims to enjoy much broader rights.
Punishments under Sharia are rooted in cultural traditions and few are willing to speak publicly against it.

Fact is Indonesia is only democracy on paper like the rest of so called asian democratic countries. The so called 3 separation of powers (the cornerstones of democracy): legislature, executive branch and judiciary are somehow intertwined with each other by corruption.
Then you claimed that democracy fits within islam. Any chance you are fan of muslim bortherhood?
I doubt the Taliban in Afghanistan or muslim in Aceh share your point of view ragarding compatibility of islam and democracy.
If any Indonesia will turned into strict muslim country in the future and not democracy as you hope. One just need to see the islamic policy situation in Indonesia.
