Every adherent of a religion has its own truth values and teachings, behind the plurality that is owned it is necessary to maintain harmony without having to demean other religions, this is a challenge for the government in realizing harmony behind diversity. The concept of moderation is the solution in realizing a nation that is peaceful, full of tolerance and harmony.
