People & Power - Testing tolerance - 12 Jul 08

Indonesia prides itself on its 'unity in diversity'. The right to religious freedom is enshroned in the country's constitution. But have these commitments proven hollow for the members of some minority faiths? One of these groups, the Ahmadiyah Muslims, is now fighting for their very survival in the world's largest Muslim democracy.

sad so sad..... jesus teached us to respect each other no matter what re our differences... I think the problem here is islam itself....

Ahamadyians are just another sect of Islam like Sunni Shiite Sufi Druze. This is a crisis that should be dealt with swiftly. No remorse, hang the man in 7:40 in a mosque leave his body for 3 days, and broadcast it on live t.v. Give money to the Ahmadiyen to build their own new mosques, and for the rest take them back to school and teah them real islam, because this isn't Islam this is bullshit in the name of islam.

I support rise of this new form of Islam..! Islam needs internal revolution to become more tolerant of others. Ahmadiyah Islam is right... Mohammed wasn't the last prophet... Mohammed was the first terrorist..! Ahmadiyah should be protected... as the guy says in interview, it's the greatest test for Indonesia's democracy... whether it can tolerate peace loving Ahmadiyahs while other, real cunt ass followers of Mohammed are trying to crush such a peaceful people like these Ahmadiyahs.

I hate these radical islamic groups! They condemned democracy but ironically they could exist because of democracy. Such an intolerant group should not be allowed in the name of tolerance!
