Over the past years, many experts have warned that a creeping Islamisation and growing polarisation is occurring in Indonesia. The position of Christians is coming under increasing pressure. In May and December 2008, two predominantly Christian villages were raided resulting in the brutal killing of three believers and the displacement of thousands. In July, all 1,500 students of SETIA were forcibly relocated after riots in Jakarta. In 2008, over 30 churches were closed. These are the main factors for the deterioration of religious freedom in the country.
