strong>Your comments on hundreds of protesters blocking four senior leaders of the Islam Defenders Front (FPI) on Saturday at the Tjilik Riwut Airport in Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan:

Finally, people are getting tired of the FPI’s actions.
Sebastian Partogi

People have the right not to allow anyone in their backyard. The FPI has to respect that. It’s about time that the FPI learned how it feels to be on the other end of discrimination and without the backing of their protectors in Jakarta/Java.
Iriawan Kamal Thalib

Central Kalimantan people have the right to do what they think is good for them.
Rekiyono

What’s their intention exactly? Do they think that their religion is being threatened? Or do they want to threaten the other religions in Indonesia?
Dian Inggas

The more FPI, the bigger the chance of separatism.
Knut Hilingsted

Indonesia should be kept a diverse country.
Jose Christie

Well, it seems the Central Kalimantan’s locals have a no-nonsense approach when needed. I’d prefer a Dayak neighbor any day!

First, who were the hundreds of protesters? If the FPI is not against the regulations then those four senior leaders have the right to inaugurate the organization’s provincial branch office.

Well done! Other communities should have the same attitude to the menace.

Hats off to the Dayak people! Power belongs to the people! I hope the President, the police, and the attorney generals take notice and quit hiding from their responsibility to enforce the law.
Abu Ahmad
Surakarta, Central Java

What goes around comes around. The same people who are preventing Bogor Christians from worshipping at their own church now cry foul for not being welcomed by the Dayaks.
Acep
Bandung

Will more Indonesian heroes please step forward.
