An Ahmadiyah community in Tasikmalaya, West Java, was left in shambles on Sunday after hundreds of Islamic hard-line group members destroyed homes in their village.
Asep Taufik Ahmad, a member of the Sukamaju village in the Singaparna subdistrict, said some 400 hard-liners from a mass organization stormed the village at 1 p.m. and damaged dozens of houses belonging to followers of a minority sect of Islam, Ahmadiyah.
“It all started with our decision to hold a Koran recital event to commemorate Isra Mi’raj [the birth of prophet Muhammad]. We already informed the local police about our plan,” Asep told the Jakarta Globe on Sunday.
May Allah give strength and all kinds of blessings to the persecuted. And may Allah enlighten the poor souls who do such crazy things…
Allahunmo mazikhim (The prosecutors)kula mumazakin wa saikhim tashiqa.
Allah will soon deal with these enemies of Islam, that are persecuting a peace loving Ahmadiyya Jama’at, as He dealt with the people of the elephants (ahabul-Fil).Allah will give sucour to the persecuted ones,bless them and give them fortitude and strength to bear all these atrocities being melted to them in the name of Islam.
