Barak’s vision for America!
Yes, it's the ethnic Chinese they really hate.
The citizens of East Timor were grateful to be included in such a diverse and tolerant cultural expansion
sarc
All I hear is blah, blah, blah. The only thing he is, is a speech giver. He has no right to be president, he hates this country, wants to shape it to his ways (socialism) and he will not stop til he succeeds or is impeached!
Don’t stop there, Mr. President. Let’s hear some specifics. Tell us about the things that make Indonesia such a Model For the World.
What has this guy been smoking
What he is wishing for us.......a religion that treats it’s women as dirt.
A religion that respects no honorable values.
A religion filled with depraved indifference for human life.
Because you have divided loyalties which the founders addressed by requiring natural born citizenship. This just goes to show the prescience the framers had.
When you come back from your next deployment, the United States will be like Indonesia! Buy stock in the company that makes anti-diarrhea pills ...
And aren't they doing the same to Christian in East Timor?
America and Indonesia have very few shared values!!!! And Indonesian “democracy” has VERY shallow roots in that country.
As for Indonesian islam, remember the Bali bombings, Australia’s 9/11:

And remember the Laskar Jihad, and its vile atrocities against Ambon Christians:

Then there are the anti-Christinan wars in West Papua, and the recent church burnings in central Indonesia.
No American should believe obama, a muslim communist who is working to turn our country into a sharia-influenced Third World autocracy. His lies about Indonesian muslim “tolerance” are part and parcel of his monstrous scam against the American people and against the entire world!!!!
Maybe he should run for president of Indonesia, than he and his wife can move there forever.
Demands America Change Its Evil Ways
Man, what a (censored).
I never DREAMED the political right-of-center, us, could get so lucky. :)

Obviously just a bunch of tolerant, fun-loving Indonesian 'youths' having a good time with their homeys.
The guy is an idiot.
Indonesia’s treatment of the Catholics of East Timor fell just short of genocide and warranted the severing of that place. Now, with East Timor an independent nation, with an overwhelmingly Muslim population, Indonesia has “solved” the problem of diversity. The few ethnic Chinese, Christians and animists accept their place.
Nowadays, the country has a tiny problem with separatists in the northern part of Sumatra. With outside mediation, it has been granted the status of an autonomous territory. The people of this region are Muslims, like the overwhelming of Indonesians throughout the country, but have always resisted outsiders.
The inability of Indonesia to peacefully accommodate diversity is typical of primitive peoples and much of the Islamic world following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Tribalism manifests itself in intolerance of minorities and suspicion of outsiders. We are seeing tensions within the Islamic world as many seek greater liberalization and openness, along with the economic benefits of modernization. Nigeria is beset with tribal conflict, South Sudan may declare its independence of the north, the continuing pogroms of Coptic Christians in Egypt, the challenge of Sunni and Shi’ite Arabs living peacefully together in Iraq, the Gulf States, Yemen and elsewhere, these do not portray a religion of peace but a religion with many adherents who are tribal and primitive. Were Islam the superior religion its adherents claim it to be, we wouldn’t see these things, and the pretense that these things don’t happen is a lie.
To characterize Indonesia as a model is merely a throwaway line for the immediate gratification of those present. Indonesia is correctly described as an example of the challenges facing the under-developed world.
Indonesia also had the problem of an authoritarian and kleptocratic government, until the East Asian Currency Crisis knocked down their house of cards. Of course, such problems are not unique to Indonesia. What followed was in some ways honorable and other ways not. Taking everything into account and being realistic, I would say the country can take pride in its struggles during the past 15 or so years.
But, if we were to be fair about things, what would say about the United States? Would we see only the bad in the U.S. and only the good in foreign countries?
This unfairness is, at its base, racist. It is based on a suspicion of all things white and the acceptance of all things from people of color. It denies that we are all created equal and it is anti-American, anti-Christian, and anti-liberal.
What has frayed our relations? Obviously, from his world view, the United States is to blame and he must 'fix' what all who came before him have broken. At least he is putting it out in the open; not that it will matter.
Evidently, his PRIORITY is really not to get our 'car out of the ditch', but rather to suck up to foreign powers.
In 1982 I read that Indonesia has the highest male population of homosexuals.
In the last 10 years I can think of no other country which has lost more life to “natural disasters”.
God is issuing warnings just as He said He would.
