Conflict within religion


Has anyone finished reading Ricklefs' "Polarising Javanese Society"? It would be great to hear people giving comments on it. I haven't finished the book, but interested in his main argument posing a question on the conflict within Javanese Islamic communities.


This argument is interesting especially in the current world, where lights are shed only on the religious conflict without realizing that sometime conflicts between religions are not as serious as the conflict among the believers of the same thing.


Let's talk about it.

P.S. Can anyone please recommend blogs or websites on Southeast Asian literature?

Though Monotheistic religions called GOD by different names and pray in different ways, my faith tells me that there is only ONE GOD.
What do you think?

The permanemt and eternal thing for the world in my opinion is NOTHING.

There is no ONE or NONE.
