Muslims to guard Christian churches

News from Indonesia this Christmas is that Muslim organisations are to help guard Christian churches there. In recent years there have been several bombings in Indonesia, including several in 2000 of churches during Christmas, blamed on Muslim extremists. The thing to focus on here is the word “extremist” – and to notice carefully the response of the majority, which is to oppose the violence and to help protect their neighbours, whatever their religion.

Surely, an example to follow and applaud.
