Indonesian Religious Leaders Discuss Yoga and Smoking

Indonesia's top Islamic body meets at the weekend for what looks set to be a hot theological debate on a range of issues including whether Muslims should be allowed to smoke, abstain from voting or even do yoga.
Officially secular, Indonesia has the world's largest Muslim population, accounting for roughly 85 percent of the country's 226 million people. Most follow a moderate form of Islam, although there is vocal radical fringe.
About 700 people, including Muslim clerics and theological experts, are due in West Sumatra for the National Edict Commission meeting, which has the power to issue fatwas.
"There will be debate before we reach conclusions. We need to listen to the pros and cons and it's likely to be a hot debate," said Ma'ruf Amin, a chairman of the Ulema Council, known as MUI.
