SBY and the National Police should take the blame for their lame and meek response to such a violation of freedom.

Fundamental, radical, anarchic, religious organizations should immediately be banned permanently.

Freedom of speech should not jeopardize morality.

Demoralization is more dangerous than what the FPI would do.

I am sure that radical groups using the police as a tool based their action to break up a discussion at the Salihara Theater, merely on hearsay.

They condemned Irshad Manji, the writer of a book as lesbian.

In my view, the title of the book is indeed annoying, it should be better if it was titled “God, Liberty and Love”.

I think, her book is dangerous because it will indicate that homosexuality is allowed in this country.

In fact, homosexuality is a mental illness.

Therefore, I do agree with the action by police to break up a discussion that promoted homosexuality.

That homosexuals do exist on earth, may, among others, be due to the fact that the Creator has always wanted to test the open-mindedness and understanding we heterosexuals have toward our homosexual fellow men and women, through our respect for them and their human rights, and through our acceptance of them as worthy members of our society.

We, fellow humans who are heterosexual, can either pass or fail that test.

And only He, the Creator, has the absolute right to judge whether being a homosexual is right or wrong: Not fallible, narrow-minded, bigoted human beings.
