A thought experiment. Imagine a Trump-like figure in Indonesia
targeting Christians/Atheists/Non-muslims with elections in November.
Assume a meeting is scheduled there in March 2017. How many people
would feel comfortable going there ?

Now imagine the same situation in US if Trump gets elected (an actual
possibility). I see we have a meeting upcoming in Chicago in March
2017. Made up your mind yet ?
