“This is the first basic stance the government will hold,” he said. 

Good to hear.

But the evil done to the innocent Ahmadis for years is a continuing crime that cries to Heaven for redress.

I refer to the theft, arson, brutality and murder which followed in the wake of that discriminatory diktat.

Regarding the Joint Decree of the Minister of Religion and the Minister of Home Affairs Number 9 and 8 of 2006 which are said to limit the construction of places of worship, Gus Yaqut said he would read and study them.

Ever Heard Of Parakansalak? Time You Did!

Don’t know about back in The Old Country, but the BBC World we get here in Jakarta has been running show-off ads featuring famous folk they’ve interviewed.

One such is President Jokowi, telling us how tolerant Indonesia is.

.

.

Maybe he could make a day-trip and ask the local authorities in Sukabumi, West Java what part of his broadcast they failed to understand.

Their administrative area includes a place called Parakansalak, where dwell a number of Ahmadis.

The Ahmadiyah are a peaceful, extremely inoffensive religious minority, but have been horribly persecuted here, for no reason, except Islamist intolerance.

Examples?.

….a specifically discriminatory diktat was declared, the notorious Tri-Ministerial Decree.

I used to hope Jokowi would chuck that diktat in one of his palace trash-cans, but so far, no such luck.

Anyway, back to Parakansalak!

Sadly, in 2008, their mosque was subjected to an arson attack by a mob of bigoted savages. After 12 years, the victimised community decided they should start reconstruction of their place of worship.

According to the Jakarta Post, the local Ahmadi leader, a Mr. Asep  Saepudin, felt obliged, on 3rd March, to report intimidation to the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM)

Why?

It seems that work was going ahead at the mosque when a senior police officer, named Slamet Irianto, showed up and told the work-men to stop work.

Why?

This is where it gets weird.

Remember, it’s a local top cop we’re talking about.

The police chief said that a mob would come to the site and ransack the building if the builders continued.

So he tells the good people to cower from evil savages?

Surely he has officers at his nearby precinct whom he can summon, if the mob is detected in the vicinity.

Surely the proper thing for a policeman of any rank is to take steps to ensure law-abiding folk can get on with their legitimate business.

Surely if a pack of pig-ignorant louts seek to interfere, the cops, all armed here, could simply fire a warning shot, then take out a few of the scumbags if they refuse to scarper.

The report gets even more nauseating the longer you read it, how local government turns out to be as unfamiliar with the concept of religious liberty as the cops there…

“Mohon Ma’af?” Blasphemous Brutes Vandalise Depok Mosque!

‘Mohon ma’af, ‘ is a common addition to Idul Fitri greetings here, people asking forgiveness for any wrongs they’ve done in the past year.

I wonder if certain blasphemous bigots in Depok will walk over to the Ahmadi Mosque they vandalised this weekend….

The vandals, who used motorcycles, threw eggs and paint at the mosque’s yard and front and back gates. “They also threw eggs at the mosque’s CCTV cameras so their actions would not be recorded,” Fatiatulo Lazira, a lawyer with the team, said. They also placed a banner expressing animosity toward Ahmadiyah near the mosque.

….and seek forgiveness.

I doubt it. Islamist bigots have no conscience recognisable to normal human beings.

I recall that evil mass-murderer, Imam Samoedra, one of the Bali Bomb Pigs..

—

  

Imam Samoedra, with his two satanic co-killers

iiiiiiiiii

…being asked by a naive journo prior to his well-deserved execution, if he would be asking forgiveness.

‘Why would I ask forgiveness from kafir,’ was the monster’s retort.

So no repentance likely among the backward beasts in Depok either, where the vandalised Ahmadi mosque had already been shut down by the sectarian local government’s goon-squad.

===

The mosque has been sealed off by the Depok administration seven times, with the most recent occurring on June 4.

Nor is there any news from President Jokowi, who likes to talk about Indonesia’s pluralism, about any plan to repeal the notorious Tri-Ministerial Decree.

The Ahmadis have long been persecuted in the country, with the government issuing a joint ministerial decree banning their activities in 2008.http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2017/06/24/ahmadiyah-mosque-in-depok-vandalized-ahead-of-idul-fitri.html

At least the JP report has a few words on the source of  much of Indonesia’s intolerance, reminding us that it was the MUI’s dogmatic decree…

====

   –

The  2005 Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) fatwa declaring the teachings of Ahmadiyah heretical

…which bigot bureaucrats  have used to shut down religious liberty in dismal Depok – more than once!

I do suspect, however, that ‘heretical’  – and utterly inoffensive and peaceful  – Ahmadis today are saying ‘mohon ma’af’ for any little mistakes they have made, over the past 12 months, in good conscience, knowing that they have done nothing wrong in wishing to worship God Almighty in their own honourable way.

 

Why Should Indonesia Answer To ‘Rights’ Hypocrites?

The UN Human Rights Universal Periodic Review (UPR) workgroup concluded a discussion on Wednesday (03/05) of a human rights report submitted by Indonesia. It advised the country on sustainable efforts to improve and protect human rights.

http://jakartaglobe.id/news/un-praises-indonesia-for-human-rights-improvements/

It’s bizarre that Indonesia’s Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi felt obliged to talk about ‘rights’ to a collection of UN sticky-beaks which, when last we checked, included countries in which any kind of rights are a sad sick joke –

-like Saudi Arabia, misruled by the shariah code, hence a stranger to civilised values, let alone ‘rights!’

And Retno’s colleague, Justice Minister Yasonna Laoly, was revelling in the fact that ‘‘there was a strong message that each delegation appreciated Indonesia’s progress, efforts and commitment to complete the challenges in human rights protection.”

I’m certainly not saying Indonesia has an untainted record on certain issues.

=====

Minster Retno

========

Retno told the media that her delegation had elaborated on several thematic human rights clusters – a bizarre turn of phrase, that, but never mind.

What is more intriguing was the inclusion among those ‘clusters’ of ‘warranties on religious freedom!’

Until the government in which Retno serves scraps the viciously discriminatory Tri-Ministerial Decree…

…and enforces the Supreme Court ruling in favour of the persecuted GKI Yasmin Christians –

 –  she needs to consider her words carefully when talking about ‘religious freedom.’

For many tormented Christians  – Christ’s Ascension Day – Islamist Savages Pelt Congregation With Sewage, Urine and Rocks  – in Indonesia, as for Ahmadis, religious freedom is a mere dream.

And what about the nightmare Jakarta’s Governor Ahok is currently undergoing, awaiting a verdict in the ‘blasphemy’ trial.

=

Ahok

How on earth can any country in this millennium  purport to have any interest in religious freedom when a clearly good man can be hauled into court for ‘offending’ fanatics by quoting a Koranic verse?

Blasphemy? Rizieq Should NOT Be Prosecuted – Nor Ahok! 

Real blasphemy is visible among the swarm of Islamist bigots, invoking the Name of God Almighty as they shuffled through Jakarta yesterday  – and repeatedly in recent months –Will Five MILLION Fanatics March This Friday! Jakarta Nightmare!  –  many of them howling like rabid wolves for Ahok to be put to death.

————-

I see Retno and Yasonna also explained Indonesia’s legal policies to the forum, regarding the death penalty…

Instead of explaining it to this panel of wannabe meddlers, better they talk to President Jokowi and urge him to do something about the ludicrously soft sentences meted out to swine convicted of terrorist offences here in Indonesia.

Mike Pence’s (Somewhat Limited?) ‘Multi-Faith’ Experience!

Most of the media mentioned how America’s VP Mike Pence happily joined in a ‘multi-faith’ gathering in Jakarta, after visiting the huge Istiqlal mosque.

The actual ‘faiths’ included in the ‘multi-faith’ meet-up don’t seem to be identified, at least in the media I’ve looked at.

But I am led to wonder if Mr. Pence had a chance to talk to representatives of one particular faith, the peaceful and inoffensive Ahmadiyah.

They have been subjected to systematic discrimination, not only by dastardly Islamist bigot brutes…

He hasn’t.

Did Mr. Pence’s Ambassador bring him up to speed with the persecution of these good citizens that began some years ago, reached a nadir at Cikeusik, when that mob of savages martyred three Ahmadis – nobody ever charged with murder – and continues today.

Another Triumph For Islamist Bigotry In Indonesia!

Sad to see another triumph of intolerance in Indonesia, with Islamists gloating over the suppression of religious liberty in Depok.

As we predicted yesterday – West Java – Depok’s Damnable Dreary Bigotry, Again!  – a mob of bigots descended on the Ahmadiyah mosque,as the peaceful minority was about to carry out their Friday prayers at the mosque, on Friday (24/2) afternoon.

Bit of a waste of time, because  the equally bigoted City Government of Depok had already sealed the innocent dissenters’ house of worship.

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

 

“There have been no reports of resistance at Ahmadiyah mosques when we sealed the place again,” he told local media on site. ‘However,’ he added, “if the seal was to be removed, there would be strict sanctions.”-Local cop, quoted in http://timesofahmad.blogspot.com.au/2017/02/indonesia-ahmadiyya-mosque-in-sawangan.html

• Since nobody in the Presidential Palace seems to have recalled President Jokowi’s previous call for minorities, in Depok or anywhere in Indonesia to be left unharassed – . Jokowi Urges Cops To Protect Minorities – in Depok?  – I’ll quote at length what the Ahmadis have said in response.
• “Masjid Al-Hidayah has been established since 1999, is open to the public and already has a building permit (IMB) as a place of worship and our home since 2007.” 
• Mubarak claimed that Ahmadiyah has been actively involved in social activities…staying in touch with leaders and scholars in Sawangan and has never violated any law.
• “Forced Closure of mosques by the municipal government that bases itself on SKB 3 minister and derivatives to Perwali Depok on Ahmadiyah is not based on the correct rules..”
• For new readers, that SKB# is the infamous and grotesquely discriminatory Tri-Ministerial Decree – .  http://www.hrw.org/news/2010/11/04/indonesia-uphold-religious-freedom 
• – an intolerant sectarian diktat issued under former President SBY…

• “We deplore the attitude of Depok City Government, as discriminatory and does not carry out its duty to protect its citizens to practice their religion…the right to association and assembly are guaranteed by the state through the constitution…”
• Ahamdiyah also asked for assertiveness from the President, through the Minister of Internal Affairs, to ensure the Depok City Government does not preclude the right to worship and assemble…
• Ahmadis also ask police officers to ensure security and the activities of worship that group.
