It was on February 6th, 2011, not so very far from Jakarta, that the infamous Cikeusik Pogrom occurred, three innocent Ahmadis….

Cikeusik – cowardly scum commit sectarian murder

Watch the pigs at their bloody work on this link.. http://www.liveleak.com/view.
…savagely bludgeoned to death by a mob of cowardly Islamist fanatics.

We lament this atrocity every year and remind all prepared to listen that no justice has yet been done, no charges of murder brought against the swine responsible.
But the persecution of, the denial of religious liberty to, this peaceful and decent community continues today.
It’s never stopped.

Just put ‘Ahmadis’ into our search box over there to the right and you can see the endless saga of vicious sectarianism that afflicts them.
====
Just a week or so ago, just a few miles from where I live, just across the city limits that separate Jakarta from Tangerang in the Province of Banten, Islamist bigotry reared its ugly head,
I quote from the local newspaper.
Pemuda Pancasila (PAP) Ciputat, accompanied residents and a number of community leaders to reject the construction of the Ahmadiyah Jemaah Mosque in Ciputat, South Tangerang, on Saturday (20/01/2018)
.

Their rejection of the Ahmadiyah Mosque was also demonstrated by the installation of banners at the entrance of the empty land.
Needless to say, the notorious thug-gang, the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) was reportedly present. But that’s par for the course whenever intolerance is in the air.
Eager to kill!
=
Again, search ‘FPI’ and you’ll see what we mean.
It was the presence of the Pemuda Pancasila that caught my attention more than anything else.
Pemuda simply means Youth, but Pancasila is Indonesia’s national ideology, a key tenet of which is pluralism, respect for all Indonesians’ right to worship Almighty God.
Except it seems, if they upset the so-called ‘scholars’ of the MUI, the Indonesian Scholars Council, whose fatwas are sometimes just laughable…
=

…but not always.
The bigoted fatwa they unleashed some years ago against the Ahmadis has been invoked by fanatics over and over to stomp their right to worship, often by wicked, violent means.
So an outfit using the word Pancasila ought to be defending religious liberty, you’d think. Instead, astonishingly, the PP spokesman at the scene declared that –
” Then the basis of our rejection was quite clear, that there is no last Prophet other than the Prophet Muhammad SAW, “said Abdul Aziz.
Another protester told the media –
“So in addition to the rejection of the construction of the mosque, we also reject the Ahmadiyah congregation…”.
http://www.suaradewan.com/dampingi-warga-serua-indah-pemuda-pancasila-tolak-pembangunan-masjid-jemaah-ahmadiyah/#
So the objection to the proposed Ahmadi mosque is NOT based on anything that you or I would deem planning grounds, no access problems, no infrastructure problems, no…
It’s purely because the peaceful minority holds views at variance with Islamist dogma. Very sad, that seven years after the Cikeusik Pogrom, there’s no sign of any mind-set revolution in Tangerang, nor in many other places…

In Squalid Internal Exile, Lombok Ahmadis Denied Voting Rights
…nor of any moves by the Government to quash the grotesque discriminatory Tri-Ministerial Decree which has made the Ahmadis second class citizens, and in some cases refugees, in their own country, of which they are loyal and law-abiding citizens.
PS – here’s a list of examples of oppression which we reproduced last year –In Jakarta, Persecuted Ahmadis Seek Justice! – there have been other incidents since then.
1. Sealing Al Furqon Mosque, Kersamaju, conducted by Satpol PP on March 31, 2015.

I heartily agree, Ross.
The Jakarta Post last week had somebody writing about the danger of how “impoverished residents could blow up in the government’s face if it is not carried out prudently.”
Crowds can change their mood in minutes and that kind of slogan is not whats needed in our present situation.

I think you are naming the real problem. Anarko or PKI are same difference.
My parents gone now but I never forget what they tell about 1965 and years before when communist danger was so strong.
Never again.
