Foreign english-speaking media, NGO's cannonball and lunatics never spoke about it. They fried and frizzled the news regarding Ahok's blashpemy case. They whoop it up. As if the moslems had done injustice, persecuted the minority. Violating human right. In reality, it is far away from truth.
Those fake journalists tried to discredit the whole nation. Ignoring Indonesia's criminal justice system. The verdict was guilty beyond reasonable doubt. Ahok was confirmed blasphemer.
Aside from blashpemy case, Ahok embroiled in seven different untouchable corruption scandals. He publicly scolded and condemned innocent single-mother, civilian and government officers. In live television show, he cursed Parliamentary Members. Using harsh, dirty and derogative words. He Stigmatized and denounced them as budgetary thieves.
In Indonesia, there is no such thing as anti minority movement. In 2015, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono revealed that there were 61.000 Christian churches in number scattered around the country. According to Oxfam investigation, the wealth of four richest tycoons equals 100 million ordinary citizen's fortune. The four richest tycoons must be ethnic Chinese descendants.
After Ahok's verbal abuse on Holy Quran, his supporters, adherent and henchman follow suit. In social-media, they launched aggresive attack on Islamic teachings and religious symbols. We hardly seen anything like this before.
Unlike America, Europe and other english-speaking countries, minorities are well treated and protectived here in Indonesia. A Christian woman with cross pendant is never being harrased, bullied nor intimidated on the street. In Christian dominated countries, moslem women are very often attacked and brutally treated. Just because they wear a hijab.
So, Ahok's double-digit loss in election had nothing to do with racism nor minority issue. He was tumbled down due to his failure and deadly mistake in building up strategy, calculation, maneuver, and methodology. I am an ethnic Chinese descendant, non-moslem by religion and I didn't vote for Ahok. Never.
