The ideology of radicalism and terrorism destroys the civilization and culture
Jakarta Preserving and bolstering cultural and traditional values is an effective method in preventing terrorism in the country, National Counter-Terrorism Agency (BNPT) Head Commissioner Boy Rafli Amar noted in a written statement on Friday.
“We believe that preserving the nation’s cultural and traditional values is an effective method to fend off and limit the mobility of radical terrorism,” he stated.
The diversity of culture essentially symbolizes Indonesia’s pluralism, or Bhineka Tunggal Ika. The diversity of culture is like the richness of colors that creates a beautiful and harmonious combination.
Meanwhile, terrorists’ ideology aims to eradicate the country’s cultural values that produce this diversity, he pointed out.
