It is as if life in Papua is very hostile and becomes a field of oppression. In fact, in the midst of such a bad image, Papua is a very peaceful and harmonious place. Whereas if you get to know Papuans more closely, you will get the warmth of a selfless brotherhood and what it is. They treat others as a family so as to maintain their own dignity, dignity and honor just as they do for others.

Therefore, it takes an exploration to identify about the existence of religion as a unifying aspect, precisely religion has become the glue of people’s lives. Morocco and Indonesia have in common, have community behavior that upholds the tolerance of religious people and accentuates the attitude of hospitality to non-Muslims. Morocco also has cooperation with Indonesia in accordance with the spirit of strengthening relations between countries that want peace in the world.” he wrote
