Even more worrying is the fact that intolerance is not only happening in the real world, but also in the digital space, showing that this is something everyone experiences.

Indonesia\'s intolerance index has continued to rise. The current parameters indicate that Indonesia is vulnerable and easily "manipulatable” to a variety of political interests.

Compared to the 2017 Jakarta gubernatorial election, the number of intolerance cases indeed decreased considerably during the simultaneous regional elections in 171 provinces on June 27. However, what occurred in North Sumatra and West Java remains a danger.

President Joko Widodo has urged authorities to act firmly against whosoever violates the freedom of religion.
