Top Cop’s Shocker On Persecuted Ahmadis.
Metrotvnews.com reported on 17th July, on how Pradopo ‘requested that the Ahmadiyah open up to others to avoid suspicion, continually leading to conflict.’
That in itself is a pretty shocking thing to say, considering that all the actual conflict, including wreckage of homes and houses of worship, assault, arson and murder most foul, have originated not from the Ahmadis but with those who hate them purely for the way they worship God.
“Ahmadiyah itself has to be open to other communities…,” says the nation’s top cop, but the assault on their village was not ‘provoked’ by any desire by those Ahmadis to seclude themselves but their readiness to open up to some foreign journalists about the realities of their lives here.
True, they haven’t yet descended to the level of the Cikeusik Pogrom, but it’s hardly for want of trying.
So truly, Timor Pradopo is talking tommy-rot.

The JP story brings us up to date with the 140 Ahmadis in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara.
…they are still living in a refugee camp after being evicted from their homes seven years ago. Wisma Transito transmigration center has been their home since Feb. 4, 2006 when hundreds of local residents ousted them because of their “deviant” Islamic beliefs.
The central government once allocated social aid for the refugees, but this stopped in 2008.
According to the Ahmadis, the government has neglected their civil rights, including issuing them with identity cards. Twenty babies that were born at the camp during the last seven years have yet to receive their birth certificates.
Without identity cards and birth certificates, the Ahmadis cannot access any health care or education facilities from the government.

This inhumanity is monstrous at any time, but during this current ‘holy month,’ when Muslims go around exchanging requests for forgiveness of any wrongs they’ve done, ‘Mohon ma’af, lahir dan batin,’ there’s something especially sickenng about seeing innocent people turned into refugees in their own country.
Ignorant and barbarous bigots drove them from their homes (with a hundred or more of Pradopo’s cops standing idly by) and the lousy Lombok local authorities keep them in squalour, again through the innately cruel fanaticism in which so many of these authorities are steeped.
The refugees could only rely on kerosene, as the government did not provide them with any subsidies for liquid gas (LPG). State oil gas firm PT Pertamina distributed 3kg of LPG to local residents, but they did not receive this, as the Ahmadis are not registered as members of the village.
It gets to the point. when writing these reports, that I run out of vocabulary ferocious enough to reflect the rage. These people have never hurt a soul!

- And Pradopo knows all about it, as does President SBY, who told the diplomats assembled in his hall a month or more ago that there was nothing discriminatory about how his Government was handling the Ahmadi ‘problem.’
In truth, there is no Ahmadi problem. They just worship in their own inoffensive way and try to keep body and soul together.
The problem is the utter lack of religious tolerance, the hatred and violence which emanates solely from non-Ahmadis who delight in making their lives miserable, driving them into that seclusion for which Police Chief Pradopo now castigates them.
