The Jakarta Police held a discussion with Islamic groups on Tuesday in a bid to prevent the spread of violence after a riot broke out during Idul Fitri prayers in Tolikara, Papua.

Your comments:

An open admission that they will take the law into their own hands should the police investigations not satisfy them.

Yet nobody goes for the handcuffs. Brilliant law enforcement, guys.

L Millar

The real double standard is that a single mosque attack leads to dozens of articles, calls for jihad, etc. while routine, state-supported supremacism goes unchecked and largely ignored, being so common as to be normal.

I quote: '€œIf there is no law enforcement, we will certainly do jihad.'€ So, I take it that they will do jihad against corruption, nepotism and other cases that go unprosecuted?

S Lefty

Papuans are tolerant of other religions; they are not militant against other beliefs.

However, I do agree that the police should investigate very soon what agents provoked the riots.
