Abstract: Nicholas Parsons and Marcus Mietzner, "Sharia By-laws in Indonesia: A Legal and Political Analysis," Australian Journal o f Asian Law 11,2 (2010): 190.Note, however, that the categories we use here differ from the categories used in other scholarly works.Arskal Salim, for instance, groups such Perda into three categories: public order, religious skills and duties, and religious symbolism.Melissa Crouch recognizes nine categories: clothing, prostitution, social problems, alcohol and drugs, religious obligations, zakat management, Qur'anic education, the implementation of syariah, and non-Islamic religious regulations.However, some of these categories-"social problems" and "alcohol and drugs," for instance, and "religious obligations," "zakat management," and "implementation of syariah"appear to overlap.For the purpose of determining whether these bylaws are within a regional government's jurisdiction, we distinguish between those that can only be justified on religious grounds and those that have a broader (secular) justification.11 For example, Perda of Banjarmasin City No. 6 of 2007.12 For example, Perda of Sambas City No. 4 of 2004.13 For example, Perda of Tangerang City No. 8 of 2005.
