This bill rediscover its popularity when the preparation of the National Legislation Program Period 2004-2009 Parliament. PBB, PKS, and PPP urged that this bill be a priority. Finally in June 2005, this bill into Parliament Initiative proposal with 30 signatures proposer (from a minimum of 13 signatures).

In the immediate aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attacks, international pressure mounted for political reform in the Middle East, particularly the Arab world. For its part, the Bush administration elevated democracy promotion in the Middle East to a key strategic priority. The administration’s policy sprung from the belief that strong linkages exist between the Middle East’s long history of autocratic rule and the emergence of a transnational terrorist movement with its roots in many of those same countries. Numerous independent analyses likewise have suggested that the Middle East’s dysfunctional, autocratic political systems are helping to breed Islamist extremism. An Islamist “Tsunami” Yet, despite the critical importance assigned to political opening in the Middle East, a number of factors, including ongoing turmoil in Iraq and competing priorities of the Global War on Terror (GWOT), have intervened to complicate U.S. democracy promotion efforts.

For purposes of exposition, views about religious pluralism may be loosely classified into views about 1) inter -religious pluralism and 2) intra -religious pluralism. By inter-religious pluralism, we mean the views held within one major faith tradition (e.g., Christianity) about the validity or truth of other major faith traditions (e.g., Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, etc.). In contrast, intra-religious pluralism refers to views held by specific schools or denominations within a major faith tradition (e.g., by Eastern Orthodox Christians) about the validity or truth of other schools or denominations within the same major faith tradition (e.g., about Protestant Christianity or Roman Catholic Christianity). The following subsections examine inter-religious pluralism within several major faith traditions. Bahá'í views Bahá'u'lláh , founder of Bahá'í Faith , urged the elimination of religious intolerance.

Cultural pluralism is a term used when smaller groups within a larger society maintain their unique cultural identities, and whose values and practices are accepted by the wider culture. One example is Lebanon where 18 different religious communities co-exist on a land of 10,452 km². In a pluralist culture, unique groups not only co-exist side by side, but also consider qualities of other groups as traits worth having in the dominant culture. The current contemporary art world in the 21st century is an example of cultural pluralism. For another example, a community center in the United States may offer classes in Indian yoga , Chinese calligraphy , and Latin salsa dancing . That community may also have one or more synagogues , mosques , mandirs , gurudwaras , and/or Buddhist temples , as well as several churches of various Christian denominations. The existence of such institutions and practices are possible if the cultural communities responsible for them are protected by law a...
