Bravo, Densus 88! Fighting The Other Virus!
Good start to the day, a story in SuaraJawaTengah.id, another success for Indonesia’s special anti-terror unit, Densus 88, capturing a suspect in Semarang, Central Java.

If molesters are not thrown out of universities, girls should not enrol.
Better they look for a college that cares about their safety.

I just cannot at all understand why the university behaves so.
University must be a time for happiness and achievement and not a time we hate to remember.

Go figure!

Syamsul Maarif, General Secretary of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) Jakarta
—————–
Thanks to Tempo for bringing us up to date on the latest war on freedom of expression waged by the IslamoNazi FPI (Islam Defenders Front) in Semarang, Central Java, which we covered a week or so back.
-======================
They were getting their little white underpants in a twist because an academic wrote some stuff about incest, Adam and Eve, and schizophrenic religion, and along with their sectarian comrades in the FUI ( Muslim Forum) have been caterwauling for the author, Ahmad Fauzi, to be hauled off by the cops.
Now they are further incensed after various comments on the guy’s Facebook page, said by their legal expert, Zainal Abidin, to amount to cursing Islam!
This, claims Zainal, is defamation of religion.
Well, big deal. I can’t get worked up about things like this, but I imagine many Christians and Jews would also be miffed about accusations of incest against Adam and Eve.
—————————–
———————–
Yet few if any of them are likely to suggest prison for the accusers. That’s because they are –
A grown-ups, and –
B long since emerged from the Dark Ages. They are also intellectually capable of taking on critics of their creed and arguing it out.
Sadly, like the state-sponsored MUI, these FPI fanatics aren’t up to it. They can’t debate dissent, and fear their co-religionists will listen to other points of view.
————————————-
==============
As for tainting, defaming, etc. religion, that is something the FPI have been doing for years, bringing Islam into disrepute by brazen thuggery – violence and vandalism are how they ‘defend’ their ideology, much like the old PKI, the Indonesian Communist Party.
It’s banned.

Why isn’t the FPI?
Incidentally, this charge they want brought is based on the draconian Law No. 11 of 2008 on Information and Electronic Transaction (ITE). Is that not the same nonsense statute that saw poor young Florence jailed for bad-mouthing Jogjakarta and its citizens?
Does nobody in power here ever wonder about the backward image Indonesia gets because of this peculiar legislation, which only encourages uptights to ululate?
Another glorious episode in the history of Indonesia’s Islamist movement to report, with Tempo.co telling how the notorious IslamoNazi FPI ( Islam Defenders Front) are reporting a writer to the police, since his book has tarnished the religion.
==============
That of course refers to Islam, and one might have thought the FPI’s own disgusting record of violence, vandalism and intimidation has done more to ‘tarnish’ that religion than anything else in Indonesia.
But self-criticism, nor even self-awareness, are not notably discernible where the white-shirts are concerned.
Let’s see what their spokesman in Semarang, Central Java, acertain Zainal Abidin Petir, is on about.
“Defamation of religion cannot be tolerated. It can be dangerous if there are distortions of Islam,” said Zainal, Friday, October 2, 2015.

Dangerous? To whom? Which people might be endangered by printed pages?
He doesn’t spell that out, though again, the shameless hoodlum antics of the FPI – FPI in West Java – ‘Let’s Burn Out the Orphans!’ – actually do present clear, present and promised dangers to all sorts of people, witness the innocent woman left dead on the road in Sukorejo, also in Central Java, last year. IslamoNazis V Freedom-Fighters? – Some Chicken, Some Neck!
And some foreign folk might regard a publicly declared intention to murder them as ever so slightly dangerous.

But of course the FPI are not alone in their horror-struck intolerance of books that upset Islamist ideologues.
Gramedia, one of the biggest publishers in the archipelago, became infamous for its censorious sectarianism, after they staged a Nazi-style book-burning two years ago.
Their English-language puppet paper, the Jakarta Post, which likes to present itself as pro-pluralism, has never yet condemned that disgraceful Hitlerian bonfire.
So no wonder white-shirt bully-boys reckon they are empowered to decide what Indonesians may or may not read and/or write.
======================
But the Semarang cadre is hardly out of step with FUI leadership, whose best-known name is Al Khatthath, a rabid fanatic who holds office in the state-sponsored MUI…

Why Apologise? Religion Minister’s ‘Sorry’ To IslamoNazi Thug Gangs
Al is not only a senior figure in the state-funded MUI, but also a former HizBut Tahrir notable.
The Secretary General of the FUI the very same creature who wanted to have an atheist killed for speaking his mind on religion. https://rossrightangle.wordpress.com/2012/06/15/another-nail-in-freedoms-coffin-indonesian-atheist-jailed-for-blasphemy/
You’d think the police would have better things to do than arrange chats between jihadist brutes and their prospective victims, but alas, Indonesia has its own ridiculous ‘Blasphemy’ law, by which blameless citizens have been prosecuted and jailed, like the Shia cleric, Yajul.

Former President SBY, remember, in one of his embarrassing outbursts, urged similar intolerant hogwash law on a global level.
Zainal acknowledges that Ahmad’s writings tend to be poetic and arty. but despite the meeting, he’s still going to report Ahmad for police prosecution.
Ahmad says he tried to explain explain his thinking to the FPI. But they didn’t want an explanation, just an interrogation.

For his part, he argues that there is evidence in the Quran Surah As-Shura paragraph 182 also mentioned a prophet possessed…
But I won’t get into theology or psychology. To me, it’s simply stupid to harass somebody for religious beliefs or lack of them.
God gives you a brain, so use it to think about what He is and how He works..or IF He is.
Nothing wrong with the death penalty, but use it on jihadists, not harmless writers.
This is interesting, I saw nothing aboutit in the Post or Globe, but Tempo is always better for news anyway.
I see youre still bashing Gramedia for their neo-nazi book arson, quite right Ross, they deserve plenty of stick for playing with fire..

It is same like you say, IslamoNazis tarnishing, to the religion and to our country Indonesia.
Why can this writer not write books and I can have choice to read or not? Nobody wants to make FPI read if they do not like to. Can many FPI read or write, I don’t think so, very stupid in those photos.
And the death for writing? The FUI are like big setan, devil, make me so angry because I like to live in my free country
Why police always happy to work with evil people. Police should be against FPI and FUI, who are just thugs.
