Text your say: Interfaith intolerance

Your comments on the recent attack against a church in Bekasi, West Java, days before Christians celebrate Christmas.

For Christians, hundreds of people attacked a church in Bekasi is a challenge to implement love and forgiveness as Jesus taught.  Remember, there’s no place of hatred in heaven, for whatever reason.

Religious intolerance should be stopped everywhere in Indonesia. I know this sounds like very much of a nonsense, but I think this is possible if everyone knows their religion properly, taught by proper religion teachers, not by some random teachers who like to fiddle in some racist statements here and there between their lectures.

Honestly, no one in this world, assuming they are thinking rationally, wants to be in a fight.

People, please, it doesn’t matter what your religion is, learn your religion properly. I’m really sure if you do that, there would be no more instances of violence.
This is one of the reasons why we (Muslims) are banned from building minarets in Switzerland.

True followers of every faith value peace with neighbors. Therefore, we have to work toward peace in the world.
