SELYA, Circuit Judge.

In this immigration case, the petitioner, Edward Dirk Nikijuluw, asserts that he is a religious refugee from his native Indonesia. An Immigration Judge (IJ) found that the petitioner's claim of religious persecution lacked substance and ordered him removed. The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) upheld the IJ's order. The petitioner now seeks judicial review. After careful consideration, we deny the petition for review.
