Recently, a few churches was attacked by a certain-religion-group (1 2 3). The reason behind the attack is that those Christians have been using their private properties to be used as church. They claimed that they are supposed to do their Sunday masses in proper area (ie. proper church). While those Christians also claimed that the permit to build a church is quite complicated, such they need to wait for 10 years for the permit. Apparently, the police didn't do anything about the attack - they didn't protect the victim, they also didnt help the torturer. Inter-religious matters in Indonesia, for any case, with or without anyone's involvement usually will have a certain winner - the Moslem.
On previous attack on church (which obviously not solved yet)
A reporter get mass' reason on why they attack/force to close down the church
1. they do not hold permit to be a church (even it's a private property and used by a certain group of ppl)
2. a mother said she don't want any church near her residence as her kids are still young, she doesn't want them to get bad influence
3. they do not want their followers to change their religion
4. they insists that their religion is the best so everybody else should believe in their god too... etc
I will not comment on why the government cant do anything about it. we all know government are just useless in some matters :)
But... dear any religious ppl
Why are you worry that your followers will change their religion when they see/heard/learned about other faith? why?
Why you keep promoting your god? is he/she not popular enough?
Why you keep defending your god? is he/she powerless that he/she need you to protect him/her?
If you believe that your religion is the best. why worry that anybody will turn away from it?
And why you need to force other religions to cease?
Are you bullying others because you are insecure about your religion?
Are you unsure of your own religion?
Are you trying to get more followers so you can ensure yourself that it is the right choice?
Well, if you are sure it is the best. Then why worry?

It means they scratch and claw at anyone or anything to drag their own personal faith into the light knowing it is on the edge of breaking.
