A well-behaved action from Justice Party

A well-behaved action from Justice Party

Order is beautiful and peace is comfort. Thousands of members
of the Muslim-based Justice Party had demonstrated this yesterday
(Friday) during the biggest anti-U.S. rally held in the country
these past few days.

Because it was well-managed, the demonstration did not create
trouble for the security officers. Policemen did not have to fire
their water cannons, tear gas, and other weapons to control the
demonstrators. No one was injured, no public facility was
destroyed, no rubbish was thrown about.

The Justice Party showed a good example on how to exercise
democracy the way it should be. Democracy does not only mean
allowing people to have different opinions. It also means
obedience to the law.

An orderly and peaceful demonstration is not an extraordinary
thing. But it becomes extraordinary when it occurs in a society
which likes a destructive approach.

We hope well-behaved supporters of the Justice Party would
inspire the nation in expressing its democratic spirit.
