We strongly agree with how we should be prudent in
dealing with various cases of conflicts in the name of religion. If we refer to
The Jakarta Post article about religious intolerance, we should be able to see
the other side of the success of religious life; not just negative only. It is
inevitable that religion is still a tool for actors in influencing the future
for the benefit of one-sided.
As the media continually exposing information
about the religious intolerance in Indonesia, that is not balanced. As the
result, instead of conveying information, the media would spread animosity to
the people who actually do not solve a problem, but exacerbates the problem.
Thus, it is very important to establish interfaith
forum that can provide balanced information to the public. Through this interfaith
forum, the participants are not to blame one side or the other, but rather how
to formulate measures to solve them.
