The Indonesian state based on Pancasila places religion in an important
position and role because the state wants tolerance from each of the adherents of
religions and faiths and their existence in Indonesia is recognized. One of the
laws that regulates the relationship between the state and citizens is criminal law,
which is part of public law. Criminal acts of religion desecration is regulated in
156a section of the Criminal Code. 156a Section of the Criminal Code in practice
will become a kind of threatening bullet, rather than protecting citizens. The
threatment is especially when it used by personality forces that are antidemocratic
and anti-pluralism.
The implementation of 156a Section of the Criminal Code against law
breaker in various cases of religion desecration in Indonesia is unexactly, and it
can be said to be a discriminatory.
