But the facts that the service was allowed to be held under police protection and that the lower court had given favourable verdict goes to show that majority Indonesians still believe in pancasila and unity in diversity. I feel that the large presence of right thinking persons in Indonesia still makes this possible. What happened in Bogor certainly merits condemnation.
