em>Your comments on the demand of the Shiite community in Madura, East Java to the UN High Commission on Human Rights to address their plight, including forced religious conversion:
I hope it works, but I doubt it will. As long as people still think of Shiite communities as enemies and government does nothing, they will continue to live in danger.

What action will the UN take? Apply a no-fly zone? They will probably invite SBY to give a speech on religious tolerance.

Why does Sunni Islam have to be so intolerant?
Well done Mr. Yudhoyono — while you talk about building bridges between civilizations, you not only allow this to happen in your backyard, but you also do absolutely nothing to right a terrible wrong.

Sunnis and Shiites must maintain friendship and not interfere with each other in order to create peace.

Hopefully this UN Commissioner can help those minority groups to put pressure on this stubborn government. I fully support and encourage them to find every possible way to retain their rights.

Shiites have the right to ask for UN help. There’s no teaching in Islam forcing religious conversion and there never will be.
This is bluntly written in the Koran. Shiites have the right to have their “own” religion, but don’t tinker with Islam.
