Indonesian Shi'ite Postcards.
2003214690Indonesia. Circa2003. Four postcards one in duplicate depicting three scenes of people within the Islamic world each with an accompanying quotation in Indonesian from the Qur'an or Hadith. The duplicate card has a small pinhole. All cards in very good condition. Each postcard measures 10 x 15cm. Originally sourced from an Indonesian stallholder after Friday prayers sometime in the early 2000s - most likely post-9/11 - these postcards appear to be the product of the growth of Indonesian interest in Shi'a Islam at that time. <br> <br>The scenes depicted appear to be from the Iranian Islamic Revolution given the presence of American weaponry and the use of child soldiers. The juxtaposition of the provocative images and the religious passages seems to indicate a brooding radical Islamist sentiment. . unknown
