The International Centre for Islam and Pluralism (ICIP) was established in Jakarta in July 2003, after one year of preparation and dialogue. Participants in the dialogue process included intellectuals and specialists on Islam and pluralism, from Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Thailand and the Philippines.
The principal goal of ICIP is to build a network of Islamic Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and progressive-moderate Muslim activists and intellectuals, in South-East Asia, and eventually around the globe. ICIP's soft launching took place on 11-11-2003 in Jakarta, Indonesia. |

Violence against indigenous religions |
|
Izak Lattu, Berkeley | Tue, 01/03/2012 9:43 PM When human spiritual experience becomes real, the multiplicities of religious practice become naked. It is clear that human beings may encounter varieties of religious understanding toward the Ultimate Reality of the authentic realm of religious experience.
Here, Sunda Wiwitan and other Indonesian indigenous religions have also been facilitating peoples’ beliefs in the Ultimate Concern, God. The indigenous religion, which is rooted in a local belief system, had been in existence in Indonesia long before the Indonesian state had come into being. http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2012/01/03/violence-against-indigenous-religions.html |

He asked all Indonesian people to respect and honor each other, even though they all lived with differences. http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2011/12/04/sby-asks-citizens-avoid-religious-based-violence.html |
