The Ahmadiyah community in Manislor village, Jalaksana district, Kuningan regency, West Java, are going about their business as usual and remaining calm despite the recent attack at an Ahmadiyah hamlet in Tasikmalaya, also in West Java.

On May 5, hundreds attacked an Ahmadiyah community in Wanasigra hamlet in Tenjowaringin, Tasikmalaya, the population of which is 80 percent Ahmadi, after the local branch of the Indonesian Ahmadiyah Congregation (JAI) had held a meeting on the two previous days.
The attack damaged 29 buildings, including a mosque, a mushola (small mosque) and an elementary school. No fatalities were reported in the incident.
According to a spokesman for the Ahmadiyah community in Tenjowaringin, police officers were on the scene, but they did nothing to stop the attack and no one had been evacuated after the incident.
