“The administration has to protect and enforce religious freedom for minority groups, instead of being one of the actors attacking religious minority groups,”
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta:
Twenty Ahmadiyah followers have missed work and school, remaining holed up in the Al-Misbah Mosque in Bekasi, east of Jakarta, since local officials sealed it off on April 4.
The security coordinator for the Ahmadiyah Indonesia Congregation, Deden Sudjana, said on Saturday that the Ahmadis were in good condition and would stay in the mosque until the city administration allowed the followers of the minority Muslim sect to practice their religion and remove the fence sealing the mosque.
However, officials appear unlikely to honor that request.
Deden said that Bekasi Mayor Rahmat Effendi invited the Bekasi Ahmadiyah congregation members to a dialogue on April 11, which he said ended in deadlock and was attended by representatives of the Bekasi branch of the Indonesia Ulema Council (MUI).
The administration, according to Deden, had agreed to open the mosque only if the Ahmadis removed Islam from their congregation’s name or allowed officials to arrange all services at the mosque, including deciding on its imams.

Indonesian should learn from Pakistan, under curse , may Allah grant peace , our prayers are with all our jammat there.
I am really worried about Indonesia: What will happen to it without Allah’s blessings? This (see article) is a sure way to loose it.
In Indonesia at least there are certain groups who openly criticize these extremists against Ahmadis,different from Pakistani society hence the punishment of Allah this Pakistan is facing.
