Indonesian Religious Affairs Minister Suryadharma Ali made outlandish statements late last week claiming, among other things, that "Indonesia...is the best country in the world in terms of religious tolerance." Human rights groups correctly criticized the remarks, pointing out that Indonesia experienced hundreds of incidents of violence last year directed at religious minorities. For Christians belonging to the GKI Yasmin or HKBP Filadelfia churches, the claims ring especially hollow. Their churches, among dozens of others, were shut down after protests by radical Islamists pressured local governments into sealing off their church buildings.
