The Embassy of Indonesia, in Washington DC was seen to erect a Hindu Goddess statue. Originally I was curious as to why a country comprising of mainly Muslims would choose a Hindu goddess to represent its embassy in the United States. However, Indonesia felt it necessary to represent all members of their society equally. After reading this article it was quite clear, that religious tolerance is necessary for fostering peace, acceptance, and growth within society. This movement that started in Indonesia is vital to the Americas; This strong interfaith bonding in Indonesia has led to interfaith dialogue within the United States. The cultural landscape has been redefined in the Unites States; with Saraswati, an Islamic Centre located near one another, it is becoming more evident that minority groups are beginning to be welcomed into the greater society.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/alissa-stern/a-statue-grows-in-dc_b_3349274.html?utm_hp_ref=hinduism
