our comments on a demand by several Muslim organizations for the implementation of sharia law both in Bekasi regency and municipality, West Java
I think it's time for us, the silent majority, to speak up and do real action to alleviate society from fanatic hard-line groups.
They are just too much. And what the hell is government doing? Are they closing their eyes and ears?

Sharia law is not applicable to our Pancasila ideology. Take it back to where it used to belong. It is not welcome here; it is simply incompatible.

Indonesia is a democratic country. The rights of all citizens are guaranteed by the Pancasila state ideology and the Constitution. Enough said.

Secularism is not a solution. Sharia law. Why not?

Wanting sharia bylaws is a way of controlling people. I am a Muslim and I don't see any Christianization that they speak of. If they want sharia bylaws, they are far from being Muslim.

We need to figure out what is best for all of us. How many times have people spoken about "self-reflection". Is it Indonesia or our religious selfish idealisms that are more important?
Can't we just go our own ways without crushing each other as we are now? We're now in a modern era when religion is not the only matter anymore.
Many have stopped thinking about religious idealism. It's all about how to make peace in their minds now.

The demand by all religions for privileged status and control over the populace must be stopped absolutely and completely.
First, their belief systems have no basis in verifiable truth. Second, a modern enlightened society has finally attained freedom and liberty for all individuals without discriminating against race, sex or religion.
