Five-and-a-half months in prison for "unpleasant deeds."
"Indonesia jails Muslim radical over Christian attack," from AFP, February 24 (thanks to Twostellas):
An Indonesian court today jailed the leader of an Islamic vigilante group over an attack on senior Christians, as the country grapples with an outbreak of interfaith violence.Murhali Barda, head of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) in Bekasi, a city to the east of Jakarta, was convicted of "unpleasant deeds" in an attack on a priest and a Christian elder last September.
Sentencing Barda to five-and-a-half months in prison, Judge Wasdi Permana said he had "misused his authority as a cleric. He had urged protesters to disrupt the church's worship activities."
Separately, 12 others were jailed for between five and seven months over the attack, in which one of the Christians was beaten with a stick and the other was stabbed.
Two hundred radical Muslims shouted "Allahu Akbar" (God is Greater) and "Free Murhali" outside the court as 350 police officers guarded the trial.Barda rejected the court's finding and vowed to appeal."I should have been freed. The accusations were all wrong," he said after the trial.
Barda has previously said he had taken part in protests against Christian church services as a Bekasi resident, not as a member of FPI, which is known to have carried out armed attacks on moderates and minorities.
The FPI does not formally advocate mass attacks, but does share the jihadists' agenda of implementing sharia law in Indonesia....
The Georgians have one church that is proof against muslim mobs.

Let's not forget that one of these Christians was a woman they beat savagely.
".. one of the Christians was beaten with a stick and the other was stabbed."
Beaten with a stick...sounds childish right? Remember the Ahmadis, they too were "beaten with a stick". And it was far from childish.

Well gee then... what's all the fuss about, evryone? At the time, he was wearing his private-citizen hat - NOT his FPI gangster hat. Freak.
He goes free on Sunday...just in time for a march planned by the Islamists. http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/home/suspended-fpi-leader-to-walk-free-on-sunday/424794

"Disrupt the church's worship activities"? It's not like they were chanting, "we're here, we're queer, get used to it"—they were *beating and stabbing* the worshippers.

Sounds more like "disturbing the peace", rather than a charge specifically acknowledging the vicious attack on peaceful Infidels.

"Tiny minority"...etc...
Barda rejected the court's finding and vowed to appeal."I should have been freed. The accusations were all wrong," he said after the trial.
..............................
I doubt that Barda here is actually claiming he didn't do what he is accused of—likely he just takes issue with the idea that terrorizing, beating, and stabbing Christians should be considered an offense in Muslim-majority Indonesia.

The FPI are Jihadists, as well. If physically attacking Infidels on religious grounds is not Jihad, what is?

Funny how that "interfaith violence" always seems to go just one way...
"Barda rejected the court's finding and vowed to appeal."I should have been freed. The accusations were all wrong," he said after the trial."
because attacking Christians is an Islamic entitlement...

In the old cowboy movies, the murderer is locked up in the jail house and the townfolk are scared his fellow criminals will bust him out. If that didn't happen, relieved, they would happily attend his hanging.
*** 33:21 ***
Islam is a movie. A 1,400 yr running movie, and not anything like a cowboy movie. In the Movie of Islam, the townfolk get riled up about the bad guy getting anything above a wrist slap for his crimes.
Why? How can this insanity be? Answer: the townfolk are Moslems.
"....as the country grapples with an outbreak of interfaith violence"
so that would include the budists, hindus and christians as well?
yes...
