I. Background

The recent development of information technology enables IT users to easily access information in realtime. In many occassions, people share news on conflicts and violents in many places in Indonesia and around the world. In the last few months, for example, people are sharing about conflict and violent in Rakhine, Myanmar. While the causes of the conflict itself is complicated and involve issues such as politics, religion, and economy, a lot of people tend to limit the issue merely on religion. As a result, some people made their own judgement based on their religious sentiments. Similarly, there were news on terrorist attact in several European cities including Paris, Berlin, Brussels, London and Barcelona that also caused religious sentiments. It is important that younger generation can play active roles in preventing violents and conflicts in the future.
