Thousands of Indonesians are rallying in the center of the capital Jakarta, calling for tolerance and unity after massive protests by conservative Muslims against the city's minority Christian governor.
The crowds filled a major traffic circle in the heart of the city today and sprawled into its main thoroughfares.
The demonstrators waved "We Are Indonesia" signs and a giant red-and-white national flag was held aloft by hundreds of people.
