Is Indonesia a safe country for a white-Christian to travel in?

yes

Safe,..I guess safer than New York.

Depends where are u going to!! Jakarta will be quite safe. In North Sumatra, there are a beautiful lake called Lake Toba. most people who live their are Christian. Bali is a Hindu area, and people are not racist in Bali

no

Yes, unless you are among the population and start shouting pro-Christian rants or anti-Muslime rants to them =)

i too wonder, how many of those who have said it is unsafe have truly travelled indonesia with an open mind & keen interest. i am a chinese and female & i have been exploring indonesia alone a couple of times. my most recent trip is to banda & kei islands at maluku. this country is safe. the people are very friendly and warm. they love tourists, regardless of your skin colour, gender, race, nationality or religion. indonesia isn't as violent a place as what the media has pictured it to be. life goes on peacefully here like all other places in other countries for the common folks, albeit at a much slower pace. i guess the only areas u need to avoid at the moment will be central sulawesi, poso region and timor & maybe iran jaya (not the entire iran jaya tho). this country has so much to offer. it really is gorgeous. u should check it out! & indonesia is so big. it is more than just bali. infact, after u've seen the other places, beaches, bali pales in comparison, especially now that it has become so touristy. as with all forms of travelling in any countries, it comes with some amount of risk & luck. u may be blessed. u may be unlucky. so it's up to u if u want to take your chances. but really, i'm sure u will not regret visiting indonesia!

Yes. It is perfectly safe. Indonesians enjoy tourists visiting. Go to Bali. that's the funnest place to visit...

no its not safe

im a white american male, gonna travel to java in january, alone, but will meet indonesian friend there. after researching java, i have no worries at all. i recommend you read a book called "culture shock indonesia" written for expats. gives alot of tips on local customs. also www.expat.or.id/ check other sites too. i know your not moving there but hearing experiences from people who do answers alot of questions. by the way my friend is muslim, im catholic... no problems... indonesias motto is "unity through diversity"... and they start teaching that in grade school... and crime... thats everywhere. if you go after january, i'll tell you first hand...
