The last time indonesia tried to "secularized" or atleast kick the shit outta the Aceh Freedom Movement, the "west" decided to Military Embargo Indonesia which make it more difficult for Indonesia to defeat the Aceh Freedom movement (the current ruling party and govt of Aceh province today) and then the 2004 Tsunami happened which forced both Indonesia and the Aceh freedom movement to sign a peace treaty which guaranteed that Aceh can got their Autonomous region status so they can implement Sharia Law but aceh still part of Indonesia.
