Religions Pluralism in The United States Finds Strength in Diversity

Universal rights enshrined in the US constitution and Pancasila where the first amendment to the US constitution: "the congress will not make laws relating to the establishment of religion or that prohibit the exercise of religious freedom". 

Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights "Every person has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion". In realizing the United States of religious freedom one of the countries that helped was Indonesia, at that time the president Ir. Soekarno himself came directly to the United States to convey this to the United States government.

Despite the fact that most people in the world believe in God, around 80% of the world's population is currently confronted with an atmosphere that limits religion. Both Muslims, Buddhists, Christians or Hindus and every person of every religion and creed experience persecution.

Example: Christians who cannot do worship in church, they are merely religious. Then in the Soviet Union there was the largest religion in the world, but there could be no Muslims and no headscarves.

In 1956 when Ir.Soekarno came directly to Unisoviet to make an agreement related to Muslims who were there. Freedom of religion is very important for the United States. Christianity is very large there for Muslims there is also quite large there is the second largest religion after Christianity. 

Communist party's ideology of religion: when joining a communist party, one must denounce religion as a wrong belief system and as a form of ignorance. Communist party members are required to fight against all forms of religion. All governments and leaders in Unisoviet are members of the communist party.

Indonesia is fair in building mosques in the Netherlands as a form of religious freedom, there are 2 mosques:

1. Saint Pelerstburg Mosque

2. Imam al-Bukhari memorial complex

In the United States out of a desire to protect religious freedom, the founders of the United States created a state that had a separation of religious and state affairs as a guarantee of freedom to practice religion without fear of persecution. The guarantee is stated in the first amendment to the US constitution. Islam in the US The US seeks to ensure that adherents of Islam are also protected in the principles of religious freedom. 

Thomas J. is one of the founders of the US who has a copy of the Qur'an. During his campaign for religious freedom in Virginia, he demanded the recognition of Islamic rights. In the US has a diversity of Muslim communities in America, most of the Muslims in the US come from other parts of the world, most of whom come from Saudi.
