All believers should be aware

All believers should be aware

From Media Indonesia

The sadness, suffering and sacrifices of the victims of the recent bomb blasts in several parts of Java and elsewhere have profoundly touched the hearts of all right-thinking people.

These well-planned and well-coordinated acts of heinous violence have certainly cost the masterminds quite a lot of money, but what exactly were they aimed at? Solely causing suffering to those targeted or did they have political motives that would justify any means in their eyes.

Fortunately, all religious leaders and statesmen as well sensible people are aware that a terrorist act targeting a particular religion does not have to be perpetrated by another religious group.

May this kind of awareness develop into a glorious, great understanding that is possessed by believers of every religion. If, in the future, any religion should become a victim of terrorist acts, the victimized religion should under no circumstances accuse other religions of being responsible. Because we all believe that no religion on this planet tolerates acts of terrorism targeted against another religion. Accordingly, the leaders of every religion should immediately declare that any terrorist act against another religion is and will always be condemned and regarded as a common enemy.

We should fully rely on the police to put an end to all kinds of crimes and to take the necessary legal steps against those responsible for the bombings.
