Islamic totalitarianism in Indonesia, the showcase for moderate Islam: [Blasphemy case against Adam and Eve photo exhibit](- Netindia123.com case against Adam and Eve photo exhibit).

An obscenity and blasphemy case has been registered here against six people for putting up a pictorial exhibition on Adam and Eve here in which the actors in the photograph were in a state of nudity.

Police named three artists, a photographer, a prominent art curator and a sixth person as suspects in the case, local news reports said Friday.

The exhibit at the Bank Indonesia Museum in Central Jakarta raised a furore with Islamic hardliners who said the photograph depiction of Adam and Eve, who were played by an actor and actress with fig leaves covering their private parts, was an insult to Islam.

“We already summoned them as (potential) suspects months ago and from the questioning, we have enough corroborating evidence to name them suspects,” Senior Commander Mohammad Jaelani, chief of the city police general crime unit, told the Jakarta Post.
