   Thank you for this – it is difficult to hear of this kind of information . Do the existing churches have to pay any extra tax for their existence – i.e. jizya?

   Hi Skylark, no definitely no jizya, that kind of thing wouldn’t even get an airing I think.

   It’s sad that foreign Christians will see any prohibition, for building Churches ,for whatever reason, as an Islamic anti-Christian ploy. I mean it looks nice, that is has “fine legal?” reasons but none the less it’s anti-Christian. Especially when in Australia mosques, Moslem schools etc can and are being erected. Now if it is seen that you are prohibiting Churches why shouldn’t we prohibit Moslem worship centres here? Remember it is not what you do but how it is perceived by outsiders. Are we Christians more righteous , decent and tolerant than Indonesian Moslems?? R. Patterson

   Have no doubt about the ploy, In Australia, the problem all starts from foriegn financed mosques and schools, not Moslem migrants (older generation) as claimed. Australia needs to wake up! All insiders and outsiders must realise, Indonesians mainstream Moslems are not insync with Islamist extremists who opose building churches but like to speak on behalf of “the worlds most populas Muslim nation”.

   Most Indonesian Moslems are everyday normal people who dont care about churches for other people, but they are losing control to and frightened of Islamists who have foriegn financial backing, and normal Indonesians are to frightened to speak.

   One thing about the topic. It doesn’t matter how hard you tried to repress Christians to worship, there’s nothing you can do to eliminate the Faith. Look back to what Romans do to Christians. UH, Duh? is there any Christian left after that? Well, i rest my case.
