Most Indonesians were shocked by the incident in Tolikara, Papua, when Muslims who held an Idul Fitri prayer service in a local mosque were disrupted by a violent Christian mob affiliated with the Evangelical Church of Indonesia (GIDI).
Some Muslims overreacted and wanted to retaliate, while others called on their fellow Muslims to exercise restraint. (By Al Khanif, London)
Your comments:
In the West, European people don't care about religion. What they really are concerned about is the color of your skin. In the West, like America, you are not being discriminated against because you are Muslim or Christian. You are only being discriminated against because you are not European.
To put it bluntly, in the Muslim world we suffer from religious issues and in the Western countries we suffer from racial issues.
