Pembangunan sekolah-sekolah dan rumah-rumah ibadah non-muslim dihalang-halangi dan bila perlu dicegah, diteror, ditakut-takuti, diancam dan tidak diijinkan oleh pemerintah. Departemen Agama dan Kantor Urusan Agama [KUA]hanya mewakili SATU agama. Itulah potret dari negara kita. Salam rindu, Al-Kafirun ------------------------ Yahoo!
