FPI’s Latest Ahmadiyah Attack Riles Even MUI
The Jakarta Globe: The country’s highest Islamic authority has slammed a hard-line group for attacking an Ahmadiyah mosque in Bandung on the eve of Idul Adha last week.
“We can’t tolerate any attack even if it is in the name of justice,” Ma’ruf Amin, chairman of the Indonesian Council of Ulema (MUI), said on Sunday in response to the attack last Thursday night by the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI).
He said that if mainstream Muslims had objections to the Ahmadiyah, whom the MUI insists is a heretical sect, they should not take the law into their own hands.
“The authorities also must have the nerve to take action so that people don’t have to do it themselves,” Ma’ruf added.

The headline might look positive, however, what do they actually mean? “The authorities should act so that individuals do not need to”? Meaning that the authorities should stop Ahmadis to pray so that individuals do not need to stop them? – May Allah protect the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at Indonesia and may Allah give guidance to those in authority…
We believe God is there who knows even whats in our heart. How these people can justify this act of attacking on Mosque (the place of worship )
Alhamdulillah, our situation is better than before, today just only one insident in indonesia. by the Grace of Allah, Ahmadiyya moslem in Indonesia are strong enough.
Salaam…
