I know Indonesia's so overwhelmingly asslifter that the Catholics are afraid, but this is the kind of "coexistence" that Islam has always demanded. Non-Muslims will be tolerated just fine as long as they acknowledge themselves as second class.
Jakarta (AsiaNews) - In a sign of respect for Muslim fellow citizens, some Indonesian churches will "reschedule" masses to facilitate the celebration of the Islamic Eid festival (Idul Fitri or Lebaran in Indonesian), which will be held tomorrow, June 25th. The reason for this decision is to avoid traffic chaos and as a sign of solidarity with Muslim "brothers".
However, this year the Idul Fitri celebrations, which take place on Sunday, may cause confusion. For this reason the parish administration of the Catholic cathedral has decided to "omit" two Sunday morning mases. A diocesan leaflet explains the reasons: "To show respect and tolerance to our Muslim brothers and to meet their need to have more room to pray during Idul Fitri's celebration, our weekly morning masses will be scheduled for 10 am and 12 ". In the cathedral, masses are usually held at 6, 7:30, 9 and 11.
