You claim to be a globe hopping journalist so link us to some of your published articles so we may see if you are in the running for a Pulitzer this year.Hossfly -
Your post is quite a good example of what we have been discussing.
Your post a link from a Christian website, apparently without having checked the facts, and apparently without referencing more objective sources, and yet presented as fact.
Indofred is in a better position than any of us to know whether the story is true or not, but in all likelihood you will ignore his answer as being biased or not backed up with facts - demands you would never place upon your online sources.
In other words, you assume an anonymous blog is reliable because it conforms to your political views; and assume Indofred and I are unreliable because we do not conform to your political views. Do you see how limiting that is for you?
As for your question, I don't see anyone here suggesting Indonesia is a paragon of virtue in terms of religious tolerance. Possibly some churches have been forced to close. However, the Pancasila does ensure Christianity is respected, and my feeling is that Indonesia has a better record in this regard than countries you will never criticise - such as India, Burma, Sri Lanka or Fiji.
BTW, when something was reported in the past, does the passing of time make it invalid?
