Thoughts ?
Explain ain’t got no time to read an article while opps are at my front door
Yes!
Not everyone in Indonesia is Islamic, plus the government recognises 6 official religions:
1. Islam being the biggest.
2. Christianity.
3. Hinduism being third.
4. Buddhism being fourth.
5. And Confucianism being 5th
And other minor religions get practiced too, plus it depends on where someone comes from in terms of islands, for example:
Aceh is mostly Islamic while Sumatra and Bali have different religions within its population.
But the population has a different thought about Atheism, being apart of any religion is okay- but you’ll get discriminated for being an Atheist and won’t be considered to be “Indonesian” since you don’t follow any religion like your peers

“Indonesian law requires its citizens to have a KTP that identifies them with one of the six religions, but they are able to leave that section blank.[7] Indonesia does not recognise agnosticism or atheism, and blasphemy is illegal.[15]”
blasphemy: you can’t speak or offend any god or sacred things in the official religions in Indonesia (A Christian can’t speak bad of “Allah” in Islam, a Muslim can’t offend a Buddhism and a Buddhist can’t talk down about the religious practices of a Hindu)

Thats not the same issue. The student who was christian was attending an islamic school. She shouldn't go there if she doesn't want to assimilate.

The population consists of 87% Muslims, plus Islamic schools are way much cheaper then normal public schools in Indonesia:
Poor Indonesian families are more likely to send their daughters to cheap Islamic schools
Research finds that poor households in rural Indonesia tend to prioritise high-cost schooling options for sons, while sending daughters to under-resourced Islamic schools. Why is this the case?

the normal public schools aren’t cheap, and a lot of the Indonesian population isn’t rich or stable enough either to send their children to normal public or catholic schools.
edit: plus poor Christian families send their children to Islamic schools more likely because “Catholic” schools are expensive, and they can’t afford that.
the government allows it and most non-Islamic Indonesians attend Islamic schools because its cheap

I know about the non-muslim populations and her wearing a scarf is a none-issue to. She is learn about islam and is growing up in such an environment. What happens if the daughter decides to convert ?
Will her parents tolerate her freedom of religion then.
Yeah most of the time they do, except if she comes from a Protestant family then not lol. But people don’t care anyways since their children (daughters and sons) are getting education any way and can still grow up as normal childrenI know about the non-muslim populations and her wearing a scarf is a none-issue to.

I’m not saying all Indonesians but every single Indonesian I met, while in Indonesia, was awful. They need to worry less about religious attire and more about being decent people.

You say this but cry when France tries to ban hijab in their country. Many Muslims in America send their kids to Christian schools and they aren’t forced to take off their scarves and assimilate. Forcing your religious attire on people of another faith is wrong.
