Millions of Christians across Indonesia celebrated Christmas in peace this year, with tight security provided by the government of the world's most populous Muslim-majority country. The Jakarta Globe on Saturday quote Indonesian National Police Chief Bambang Hendarso Danuri as saying that the Christmas celebrations were safe and sound in the country, which is still plagued by fears of terrorism and possible religious conflict. 'The Christmas message now is to be kind to all, regardless of ethnicity, religion or social condition,' said Jakarta Archbishop Julius Darmaatmadja quoted by the Jakarta Post also on Saturday. He said that this message was the right one for developing Indonesia in the spirit of pluralism. Indonesian National Police allocated 79,154 officers to key locations, including churches, shopping malls and residential complexes, in their Operation Candle, so as to safeguard the Christmas and New Year celebrations. The country's counter- terrorism and Mobile Brigade were also involved in the operation. According to Indonesia's census in 2000, 86.1 percent of its population is Muslim, while 8.7 percent is Christian, 3 percent is Hindu, and 1.8 percent are Buddhist or others. As the two largest religious groups, Muslims and Christians have disputes some times. On Dec. 17, a group of residence who gathered to celebrate the Islamic New Year attacked a church under construction in Harapan Indah residential complex, Bekasi, West Java, at night, leaving several damages to makeshift buildings.
