RELIGIOUS MINORITIES OF INDONESIA Editorial Image

Christians pray on the Sangkrah Church of Solo, in Muslim dominated Indonesia. Annual reports from three different independent organisations, the Setara Insitute, the Wahid Institute and the University of Gadjah Mada's Centre for Religion and Cross Cultural Studies, consistently present cases of religious persecution and religious intolerance committed by groups claiming to represent Islam across our archipelago in recent years. Setara reported 724 cases of persecution of religious minorities with an average of 241 cases per year from 2010 to 2012.
