RELIGIOUS INTOLERANT IN INDONESIA

I come across this article from JakartaGlobe about some Muslim
extremists in Indonesia are intolerant towards other
religions,
particularly Christianity.

The head of Indonesia’s largest Muslim organization
admitted on Friday that a report stating that Christians
were the most frequent victims of religious freedom
violations here was true.

...... some groups oppose the building of churches, or
even try to prevent Christians from conducting religious
rituals in accordance with their beliefs.

“A church in Sibuhuan, South Tapanuli [in North Sumatra]
was burnt down this afternoon...
Well, I'm highlighting this news from Indonesia NOT to offend/
insult anyone, Indonesians in particular, but to show and plead
that religious tolerance is a paramount ingredient to racial harmony
which we all as Malaysians have enjoyed.
Thus as Malaysians, lets us all live by the motto 'LIVE AND
LET LIVE'.
Can't we?
