Jakarta Governor questioned by police
Nov 8^th, 2016 at 6:56am

Oh dear..

The Governor of Jakarta has fronted the press after spending almost nine hours with police over blasphemy allegations linked to last week's violent protest in the Indonesian capital.

Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, known as Ahok, faced more than a dozen questions after being summoned by police over allegations he insulted the Koran.

He emerged to tell the waiting media if they want any more information they should get it from the investigator.

"I want to go home. I'm hungry," he said.

Cheesy

What do you think about the fact people protest on the street, and demand arrest, because someone dared to talk about their beloved Koran? 100 injured. 1 dead. Over criticising the Koran. Where do you think this behaviour comes from?

Do you think liberal minded people violently protest because someone says something about a book?

no, i think anyone who protests violently is an idiot, irrespective of whether they use a book as their excuse or not.

So you're concerned about the protest being more violent than about the mere fact thousands of people protest and demand a person be punished for criticising a book?

How many of such people are you prepared to live with/next to?

their country, their laws .... I don't usually concern myself with laws in other countries unless I am visiting that country and only to the extent that I don't want to break any of their laws. If the Indonesian public is happy with the laws, who am I to disagree with them? If they aren't happy it's up to them to petition their MPs to change it. I really don't give a stuff either way. They have to live with them, not me.

I'm asking your opinion of the law and whether you think it is acceptable in a so called beacon of secularism that our friendly Gandalf keeps proclaiming Indonesia to be. You can disagree with the Indonesian public, why not? After all, your morals and ethics are your own. If a country legalised raping, murdering and then eating a person would you also be okay with it on the basis the public agrees?

And anyway, I'm asking you more where you feel the law stems from. Why are people seemingly happy with this law? And how many of these said people would you be willing to live with?
