If I'm moslem, and you're not-muslim, it doesn't mean
we have to kill (or terrorize) each other. We're just
have different religions...that's all. No more no
less.

ENEMY is not people of other faith. Enemies are those
who do harm to humanity. If someone want to rob you,
to kill you, to rape your sister, etc... you have all
the rights to confront them. It's natural and even
stated in law (US law, etc.)

In another words, you said, some others hate Islam
first and against Islam...

Be specific... what magazines? ... In every religion,
in every community, there always parts who are
"different" from mainstream... The fact: the biggest
Moslem organisations in Indonesia -- with millions
members-- are Muhammadiyah (mostly urban) and NU
(mostly rural). Both are moderate and nationalist.

Have you ever heard about "kemiskinan-struktural"? The
poverty, lack of education, misery, ...etc is not come
from heaven. When you give more money to the richs and
give less money to the poors, it's an injustice. It's
idelogical, it's by design. When your soldiers occupy
other country without their consent, etc... it's
injustice....etc...
