Selamat Hari Pancasila – In Lombok Too?

Happy Pancasila Day, a relatively new public holiday in Indonesia, on which I commented last year…

=

….contemplating the meaning of the word, which is all about pluralism and brotherhood.

https://rossrightangle.wordpress.com/2017/06/01/happy-pancasila-day-is-brotherhood-worth-a-hundred-meter-walk/

My observations then should still resonate with Indonesians who cherish their heritage of religious tolerance, which has been gravely undermined since last year…

=

Ahok

….what with the imprisonment of Jakarta’s Christian Governor Ahok for the mediaeval ‘crime’ of ‘blasphemy’- in his case merely quoting a Koranic verse during his election campaign, a quip which his largely Muslim audience at the time took in good part, but which was then seized on…

Slouching Towards Shariah, Indonesia Jails Ahok! 

….by the worst elements in the archipelago, hordes of sectarian bigots marching through Jakarta calling for the honest, pleasant man to be ‘burned.’

We even had reports of brain-washed brats squealing similarly sectarian hate-grunts.

• Governor Anies won an adoring smile from ferocious fanatic Habib Rizieq, who had suggested the Christian Governor Ahok (Anies’ predecessor)  be slain for unacceptably quoting some Koranic verse –.“We encourage the government to process the death penalty for Ahok as soon as possible,” said Rizieq.

Ahmadi community comes under attack in East Lombok, as homes and properties destroyed

Over the past two days, eight homes, four motorcycles and a shop have been destroyed. “The attacks were based on similar reasons: hatred and intolerance,” said a spokesperson for the Ahmadiyah Indonesia Congregation.

“It’s not the first and definitely won’t be the last attack. It’s been years and the Ahmadi community continues to live under threats…”

So let’s hope those poor victims in Lombok can find something to cheer about on this Pancasila Day.

‘Bullied For Months On End?’ So Kick The Primitives OUT!

And back to DW again, and a reference to ‘nation-wide outrage when a little Jewish girl was bullied for months on end by her Muslim classmates in Berlin.

=

Nazi grafitti – ‘Jews Out!’    Now action replays, thanks to Mama Stasi Merkel?

=

The president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Josef Schuster, told DW last month that Muslim children were being indoctrinated in their homes.

Needless to say, Merkel’s Bundestag flunkey Volker Kauder deplores sectarian intimidation, but rather than deal effectively with those responsible, his anaemic remedy is that education authorities could form an interschool response to problem…

“In schools, each individual case must be punished consistently,” the CDU politician added

For pity’s sakes.

Like, give ’em 100 lines to write, something like we used to get…

…or at least an updated version, like this?

‘I will never again insult Jews and I respect everyone’s right to worship as they wish.’ 

And if they refuse?

Foolish Germany, like the UK, has no corporal punishment for recalcitrant young ratbags.

=

=

So surely a better idea is expulsion – and not just from school!

The problem is obviously an inevitable result of importing hordes of pig-ignorant bigots.

And it’s not just little Jewish girls who are suffering, a truth of which Kauder seems to be aware.

“The statements of the father of the Jewish girl in Berlin, whose case triggered the discussion, were very thought-provoking for me,” said Kauder. “He spoke of some boys from Muslim families treating classmates badly, whether they were Jews, Christians or even Muslims, for example when they went to the wrong mosque.”   http://www.dw.com/en/merkels-cdu-urges-mandatory-reporting-of-anti-semitism-in-schools/

So innocent Muslims too are the targets of these juvenile savages?

Kauder doesn’t get specific, but I wonder if those victims he refers to as attending ‘the wrong mosque’ might be Ahmadiyah.

Here in Indonesia, that harmless minority have suffered brutal persecution…Victim of Islamist Murder Mob Gets Six Months in the Slammer …and state-sponsored discrimination…

If, on the other hand, alien parents are found to have infected their offspring, then out they all should go!

If, again, it turns out those guilty are native-born Germans, whose apostasy has led them into criminality, then long, long prison terms are required.

Why Not, Pak Wiranto? Avenge Munir – And The Martyrs!

Wiranto

==

A baffling response from Indonesia’s Coordinating Political, Legal and Security Affairs Minister Wiranto yesterday.

It seems that reporters ambushed him and asked him about the Munir case, which remains unresolved after 13 years. 

http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2017/09/08/wiranto-on-munir-we-should-be-talking-about-development-now.html

Peculiar word to use, ‘ambush,’ as if a government minister should not be prepared to answer questions when he’s out in public.

Especially questions related to his specific ministerial responsibilities.

“You should have talked about our development, or our plundered territory. Why talk only about [Munir]?” Wiranto replied

Well, maybe, because more than a dozen years have elapsed, and the hireling Polycarpus, convicted of murdering the innocent Munir, has long since been released…

Munir, Don’t forget him!

Munir’s Murderer Free – Jakarta Justice Mirrors Western Weakness 

…despite not telling the world which cowardly creeps hired him to do a job which the said cowardly creeps were not up to doing for themselves.

It’s all as much a mystery as when we published another post in February.

No NEED To Tell Munir Murder Story? But CAN They? 

I hope President Jokowi is on the phone today, reminding Wiranto that Wiranto’s office has been appointed by Jokowi to lead the settlement of cases of human rights abuse in the country..

Munir’s case is hardly unique.

More recent, equally heinous, crimes against humanity have been committed in Indonesia, such as the murder of the martyrs in the Cikeusik Pogrom…

No murder charges have yet been brought.

Wiranto would earn nationwide applause if he were to re-open that case and demand the death penalty for all those who can be detained, prosecuted and convicted of the crime.

AND if he were to order the release of all the information the government has, wherever it’s locked away, about the hidden hands who directed Munir’s murder.

Ahok Defies Back-Stabbers And Sectarian Fanatics!

Since the bloody riot two Fridays ago, when gangs of Islamist hoodlums attacked police and shamed Indonesia before the assembled cameras of the world’s media, a lot of that overseas media have lost interest in what’s happening in Jakarta.

————-

• 

Zuhairi

——-

• So for the sake of fair play, I must mention today a young Muslim leader named Zuhairi Misrawi.
• Despite the Jakarta Post branding him an ‘intellectual,’ he sounds a sensible fellow. He belongs to the NU, the Nahdlatul Ulama, a very large organisation, which sometimes comes out with rational thoughts, and this is one of those times.

———-

• 

• Zuhairi is urging the extremist so-called ‘scholars’ of the MUI, who are still state-funded, so far as I know…

——

——–

….to back-track on their peculiar accusations of ‘blasphemy’ against Ahok, the Christian Governor of Jakarta.

As has been obvious to everyone from the start of the controversy, Zuhairi points out that it’s based on a misquote of a speech the governor made that was uploaded to the internet.

http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2016/11/07/mui-must-retract-biased-statement-against-ahok-nu-activist.html

We reported on Ahok’s reference to a Koranic verse before, and you can check that out…

Half-Million Fanatics Descending On Jakarta? Peacefully!?! 

…but it’s undoubtedly true that, if the issue had remained a case of notorious jihadist gang-groups caterwauling as usual, few normal Indonesians would have given a tinker’s cuss.

But Zuhairi’s right.

 “The MUI is the source of all of these problems.”

Ahok

• Without naming the parties, Ahok said he had been asked to drop out on security concerns in the capital. He claimed the parties said demonstrations against him would continue if he stayed in the race.

I wish he’d ID the culprits, but good to see the good guv ain’t taking any cr-p from creeps that crawl to the sectarians behind the ‘blasphemy’ ballyhoo.

 “I’d rather be arrested and jailed than drop out of the race,” Ahok said in the Pantai Mutiara area, North Jakarta, on Thursday

Good for Ahok! I hope that the many millions of decent Muslims who live in Jakarta will endorse his courageous stand.

If people must make an issue of religion in the election next year, which of course it shouldn’t be, my own view is that they should focus on ex-president SBY’s son, Agus Yudhoyono,  who is also running for Jakarta Governor.

Blasphemous Savages Wreck A Mosque in Java

Once again the peaceful and utterly inoffensive Ahmadis have been the target of pig-ignorant blasphemous brutes.

“All was destroyed, the walls of the recital room knocked down, and the roof,” said Ecep, the Ahmadi imam.

In an unholy echo of a previous attack five years ago, in Cisalada, West Java, when a Koran was burned, even the holy books in the mosque were vandalised.

A swarm of savages caused Rp.200 million worth of damage to their mosque in Kendal, Central Java, the cowardly swine launching their onslaught in the wee hours when nobody was around to bear witness.

Typical of sectarian fanatics here, who do not respect houses of worship of any creed, even their own!.Jakarta Mosque Mayhem – IslamoNazi Louts Silence Moderate!

“I do not share the same beliefs as the Ahmadis, but I believe that they have the same rights as other citizens of Indonesia.”

Bigot louts in Lombok destroy Ahmadi homes -100 cops just watched               In Squalid Internal Exile, Lombok Ahmadis Denied Voting Rights 

Again, in Lombok, Islamist savages enforced ‘ethnic cleansing’ of an entire Ahmadi community, a hundred well-armed officers standing idly by. 

But the root of the problem surely lies deeper than the constabulary’s inertia.

Despite loudly proclaiming his commitment to pluralism, President Jokowi has done nothing to revoke the iniquitous Tri-Ministerial Decree, which formalises anti-Ahmadiyah discrimination.

---

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

To be fair, he has also declined to uphold religious liberty for the Christians in Bogor.

The Yasmin Protestant congregation won a huge victory at the Supreme Court against jihadist bigots who closed their church, but the ruling remains unenforced, though Jokowi could order the cops to move in tomorrow, if he wished.

What’s been done to Ahmadis in particular is monstrous.

At least the Protestants get to vote and send their kids to school, and qualify for what little welfare exists here. Check my search engine, over there to the right – so many wretched examples of oppression. 

Very sad, the plight of the persecuted in Indonesia.

I write about it so often. I get weary of doing so, but it’s a dreary duty that may not be shirked.

Jokowi Under Pressure? Not As Much As Those Ahmadiyah!

President Jokowi’s performance as Governor of Jakarta was first-class, especially his lightning ‘raids’ on the idle slugs drawing tax-paid salaries and found to be idling at – or even absent from – their desks.

–

–

Likewise, he has shown resolute determination not to have Indonesia bullied by international undesirables like the EUSSR’s Moghieri, or the arrogant Dutch ex-colonial overseers, on the issue of capital punishment.

—

—

But currently he’s in a bit of a pickle, with the National Police and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) over allegations against Jokowi’s pick for top cop.

Overseas readers can read all about that complicated carry-on anywhere…

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

But there are other matters concerning Pak Presiden…

I have to share the impatience with his government expressed by the National Commission on Human Rights, Komnas HAM, on the endless torment of those Ahmadis in Transito shelter, down in Mataram.

=====================

Indonesia’s Arrogant Islamists – “Non-Denominational Belief Is Not a Religion!”

 

==========

Interesting to see that it’s Ma’aruf Amin who’s being quoted on behalf of the MUI, the Indonesian Council of ‘Scholars,’ in the debate on the KTP, the ID document which every Indonesian must carry.

=

 Ma’aruf Amin

=

Ma’aruf, you’ll recall, is the enlightened figure who told us that female circumcision is a ‘human right.’   http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/home/rights-groups-push-for-female-circumcision-ban/566823  That barbaric custom is still widely practiced here. 

“Circumcision hopefully will make her less amorous…” Islamist Ignorance Targets Tots 

However, he has agreed that citizens should be free to leave the KTP’s ‘religion’ column blank.

Many of us might think that religion is a personal thing, nothing to do with the state,  but never mind, a teeny-weeny step towards religious liberty for the people of this wonderful land, after being forced for decades to fill in the column with one of the six religions.    http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2014/11/14/ulema-council-wants-keep-religion-column.html

But don’t start the cheering too soon.

The MUI man went on to say his fellow-countrymen should not be allowed to enter their religion in the column if they don’t follow one of those six state-approved faiths.

Why not?

“A non-denominational belief is not a religion so it should not be stated in the religion column,” said Ma’ruf.

Ma’aruf must certainly have a hot-line to God if he and his ‘scholar’ colleagues feel they can determine that minority faiths are NOT religions. But it’s up to them what they believe about mankind’s relationship with the Almighty. I’d be the last to deny them their right to think and worship as they see fit.

A pity they don’t take the same view.

They’ve been the most vociferous cheer-leaders for discriminatory state action against the inoffensive Ahmdiyah minority, and others who don’t share their dogmatic beliefs. They expressed approval of the infamous Tri-Ministerial Decree which has been invoked by vicious Islamist bigots as justification for sealing, and stealing, houses of worship belonging to Ahmadis.

oooooooo

 These Ahmadis were prevented from further prayers in their Depok, West Java, mosque by a simple step – the local authorities expropriated the whole building! Just like Communists, these sectarians!

=======================

The endless persecution has even seen murder, the foul Cikeusik Pogrom.  of 2011, where three innocent men were martyred by a mob of savages.

========================

•  Bigot pig at work in Cikeusik
• ===================

• The subsequent trial, when a handful of scumbags were put away for on average six months each (along with an Ahmadi who survived the atrocity!) showed the world how flimsy freedom of religion really can be, sadly.
• ==================

Of course, Pak Ma’aruf doesn’t endorse violence.

=

 Amidhan

Nor does his senior MUI colleague Amidhan.

As was made clear a couple of Ramadhans ago, when he spoke about Islamist thug raids on mini-markets that did not kow-tow sufficiently to the intolerance prevalent at that time of year. Amidhan has no time for thuggery, but if shop-keepers dare display indifference to the sectarian demands of the MUI…

Islamist ‘Scholars’ – “Don’t Complain if You’re Attacked!” 

The new Minister of Religious Affairs, Lukman, has shown refreshing readiness to respect Ahmadi and other minority creeds’ rights – there are, after all, nearly ten million Indonesians not affiliated with ‘approved’ religions – and that’s great.

Will the MUI now inch into the modern world and insist to their followers that it is every citizens’ duty to take a stand for religious liberty and prevent the shameful assaults, arson and closures inflicted on these peaceful people?

Religious Liberty! Lukman Lights a Candle of Hope!

oooooooooooooooo

Well, Hell’s Teeth!

I have long hoped for this news, but to read it, at last, makes this rainy evening seem bright.

The Religious Affairs Minister, Lukman Hakim Saifuddin, comes from an Islamist party, the very same one, PPP, which spawned his predecessor, the oleaginous intolerant, Suryadharma Ali.

0000000000000000000

 Lukman…

… NOT at all like Ali .

0000000000000000000000

But since Ali had to step down in a swirl of corruption allegations, Lukman has shown he’s a man of a very different sort. A good bloke, as I called him last Sunday, he’s now promised a new bill of rights for all faiths, even those which under President SBY were horribly persecuted…

oooooooooooooooooooo

Lukman said the new bill would target the closures and attacks on churches and Shiite and Ahmadiyah mosques…

http://thejakartaglobe.beritasatu.com/news/minister-promises-bill-protect-religious-minorities/

The current law is a green light to sectarian bigots.

oooooooooooooooooo

One of the requirements stipulated in the joint decree is for applicants to get the signed approval for their house of worship from the heads of 60 neighboring households of a different faith.

0000000000000000000000000000

The difficulties experienced in getting these should not be simplistically ascribed to hatred or prejudice – in Bekasi, some years ago, it was learned that some vindictive clerics had told local Muslims to toe the line or they’d be denied funeral services for their kin!  

http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2010/02/19/religious-mapping-dialogue-needed-end-spats-analysts.html

oooooooo

 These Ahmadis were prevented from further prayers in their Depok, West Java, mosque by a simple step – the local authorities expropriated the whole building! Just like Communists, these sectarians!

0000

In Muslim majority Indonesia, Christian, Shiite and Ahmadi applicants have almost invariably failed to get the required number, while a few cases have been reported in parts of eastern Indonesia, which has a large Christian population, of Muslims not being allowed to build mosques.

And excellent news too that the package should include measures to help Shiite and Ahmadi communities being driven from their homes by mobs of Sunni Muslims — often with the support of the local police.

•  Koran burning – by Sunni savages in Cisalada, West Java (they also burned the Ahmadis’ mosque and homes)

• That’s the very issue I posted on earlier this evening, referring to the Lombok Ahmadis, but the Shia in Sampang suffered just as much.

But for all Lukman’ goodwill, he’s still showing a trace of unreality when he goes on to say his ministry would also work with local Islamic clerics — who are often instrumental in inciting hostilities against minority groups — to get them to embrace religious tolerance.

The JG journo is spot on with her comments on who’s usually to blame for intolerance and hostility. Indeed, many of the posts we’ve published on Islamist intolerance around Indonesia have had cause to mention the local chapters of the MUI.
