It is good idea. Go for it. Indonesia should follow all the fanatics demands.

The Muslim groups should learn a lot about Indonesian history. They will feel shame if they read a lot about Indonesia’s great cultural diversity and how our independence from the colonial power was the result of multi-religions’ hard work.
Or, if they have known the history and still force to implement the sharia law, they might as well be called “separatists of the republic”, therefore, the government should prevent and abolish that such group.

There is no justification for breaking the law in the name of god, money or political power. Such actions are used by criminal and terrorist organizations. The leading political organization should respect the rule of the law or be banned.
The state should be separated from religion, and freedom of speech should be upheld. We have seen too many cases in history where this is abused by states, and religion has been abused to the dismay of its countries’ citizens.
