Comment on Rajendren's Living Under Moslems

Submitted by Deo (Australia), Sep 18, 2005 at 03:41

I agree with you Rajendren about minority living under moslem's rules as in Malaysia. But, that can still be considered nice compared to what happened to religious minorities in its neighbour state, Indonesia, the so-called biggest islamic state.

Since decades ago, minorities cannot build church or temple without local council's approval which is usually very difficult to get due to deep prejudice from the local moslem community. The government only allows the existing churchs/temples to be operated without any further development and when the existing churchs/temples got vandalised / burned (this is a regular thing in Indonesia) sometimes the minorities will get no approval to re-develop their religious houses. In effect, the growing minority religious groups have to gather in shrinking place of worships.

They called it necessary "sensitivity" to the local moslem community - I wish this kind of "sensitivity measures" can be applied also in US, Canada, Europes and Australia against moslems who want to build mosques there. Western cultures and states are tolerating this jihadist movement too much and soon I'm afraid it will be too late for us (non-moslems) to exist in this world free of moslem's dhimmitude as happened in the past.
