Indonesia Religious Tensions Sparks Violence

In Indonesia recent attacks on churches and other minorities have raised concerns about the rise of conservative Islamic groups.

One region where tensions have been running high between Christians and Muslims is the Jakarta suburb of Bekasi - where recently a church member was stabbed.

For many it is further evidence of religious intolerance, which the government is under increasing pressure to tackle.

Oh beautiful islam again and their only answer is violence. Instead of their religious leaders calling for calm and peace they call for holy war death and violence. Satan likes death and they are his children. A true christian who follows the bible lives in peace and forgives his enemy a true muslim who follows the quraan becomes a violent satanic criminal. Look at muslims faces when they are angry its pure evil.

Lmao, the Christians chanting seemed no different than African Tribal ritual songs. Signs are throughout showing us what is a pagan practice. Nevertheless, they mentioned muslims need to defend their God then why are not asking Jesus to solve you the matter?! Well deep down you know he is nothing but a creation. Subconciously Christians know Jesus is only a man, thus the formation of Atheism due to irrational belief system. Christianity is nothing but Pagan practice mixed. Reflect and Reason ppl

APTLY SAID BY: RISOMAS NAINGGOLAN (at 1:44). "THEY ARE VERY NARROW MINDED I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY SEE GOD". OF ALL RELIGION ONLY MUSLIMS HAVE NARROW MINDED MAJORITY OF THEM, BUT THERE ARE SOME WHO ARE OPEN AND BROAD MINDED, ONLY THOSE WHO TOOK EDUCATION...NOW I BELIEVE THAT MUSLIMS HAVE NO SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION TO THE WORLD IN TERMS OF EDUCATION, SOCIAL INTERACTION AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT, BECAUSE MAJORITY OF THEM ARE LITERAL MINDED AND NARROW MINDED AND ANTI SOCIAL KIND OF PEOPLE...
