Upon independence there was significant controversy surrounding the role of Islam in politics; this caused enormous tensions. Eventually, "Indonesia adopted a civil code instead of an Islamic one".[12]

In the New Order years (Suharto's presidency), there was an intensification of religious belief amongst Muslims.[15] Under the Suharto regime, all Islamic parties were forced to unite under one government-supervised Islamic party, the Partai Persatuan Pembangunan (Party for Unity and Development or PPP).[7] With Suharto's resignation in 1998, "the structure that repressed religion and society collapsed".[7]

 

Carter "banning" Iranians from here is not the same as banning (or closing the door to) Muslims.

One was (is) a nation, the other is a religion of over a billion.

 

Similar to Watts riots here.

It's not a prevalent thing in the nation as a whole.

This is still a great example of Islam is a religion of peace in fact.

 

Mocking it as a "religion of peace" by christians is ignorant and intolerant.

In spite of the violent acts here in the USA, the damage (aside from 9/11) don't compare to what white mostly christian people do (tens of thousands of violent crimes and murders a year).

 

I see christians mock Islam as a religion of peace all the time. It's been done in this thread, even.

The second paragraph is extremely important information to consider. Some are suggesting Muslims are somehow more violent than anyone else. They're clearly not.

 

Native Americans call for ban on Christians entering the US

Native Americans have controversially called for a complete ban on Christians of any denomination entering the US until representatives can ‘figure out what the hell is going on.’

“Seriously, you guys have screwed this place up,” said Chief Simon with Williams

“Two world wars, I don’t know how many ‘minor conflicts,’ mass-shootings, Adam Sandler, toy dogs, the Star Wars prequels. Ryan Adams covering Taylor Swift, McDonalds; I mean, all this is bad enough but now you unleash Donald Trump on us?”

“I’m sorry, it’s extreme but we have to say enough is enough.”

There is a portion of the christian population that spews hate. Would you tar the rest of the christians with the same brush as westboro baptist church? Goose, gander.

I don't believe the violence in the middle east is predicated on religion much at all. Like I said, it's secular and ethnic. ISIS wouldn't be around if Obama didn't surrender in Iraq and give the Shi'ia leadership a wink and a nod to crack down on Sunnis. Those Sunnis joined with ISIS to regain their power because there was no other viable alternative. Those same Sunnis joined with the US led coalition during the surge to fight ISIS.

The act of Muslims bombing Muslim mosques is about terrorizing the civilians into submission, not about using those mosques for religious purposes (e.g. houses of worship).

 

A Texas town stands divided, after armed men in camouflage menace worshipers at a local mosque

Anti-Islamic sentiment is on bold display in Irving, Texas.

So is support for freedom of religion.

Protesters dressed in camouflage and armed with loaded rifles have been demonstrating in front of the city's largest mosque. Others are coming out to back the Muslims who practice their faith at the Islamic Center of Irving.

Avi Selk, a staff writer for The Dallas Morning News, says the dueling protests have polarized what was a "fairly normal suburb."

"They were arguing about things like whether to build a concert hall, but were suddenly transformed into a sort of stage where people are holding rallies and making public statements, a stage for people from outside the city to come and kind of act out their parts in this controversy over Islam," Selk says.

The city is a cosmopolitan Dallas suburb. One third of its residents are foreign born.

Selk says the mosque attracts some first-generation immigrants, and the vast majority of the Muslims he's met there are professionals.

"They're generally techies. They're Microsoft employees, they're very very well educated," he says. "One of the first Irving, Muslim grassroots activists I met had worked on the particle super-accelerator that they were building in Texas."

Selk says the armed protesters aren't Irving residents.

"They're all from cities in the general area," he says. "Some of them are convinced that there's going to be, you know, a violent confrontation with American Muslims. If you've seen images from that protest, you'll see a man with a long-barrelled gun and camo gear walking down the sidewalk behind a woman in a headdress on her way to worship."

Last week, a group associated with the Ku Klux Klan, the Texas Rebel Knights, announced they also want to demonstrate at the Irving mosque.

That's concerned many residents, who seem to just want the controversy to go away.

"There's a lot of people who have affection for their city, and they don't like to see it in all these international news stories labeled by some as the hotbed of Islamaphobia," Selk says.
