Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Many Indonesian Muslim groups dissatisfied at government’s stopping short of disbanding Ahmadi movement

Never mind that Islamic Defenders Front. This is much more dangerous. “Many not satisfied about govt`s decree on Ahmadiyah,” by Andi Abdussalam for Antara News, June 14:

Jakarta (ANTARA News) – The Indonesian government finally issued a joint ministerial decree on Monday banning followers of Jamaah Ahmadiyah Indonesia (JAI) from carrying out religious activities, but many Muslims organizations in the country were not satisfied as it did not provide for JAI`s dissolution.

Many Muslim groups have been exerting pressure on the government to disband the JAI organization which they say is a heretical Islamic sect or had deviated from the true Islamic tenets.

“The government`s decree is still a temporary decision. It should be revised to disband the JAI and ban its misleading teachings,” Yohan Andi of the Campus Propagation Institutes Forum (FSLDK) said in Malang, East Java.

On Tuesday, tens of Islamic propagation forums grouped in the FSLDK called on the government to revise the decree which was jointly signed and issued by the ministers of religion and home affairs as well as the attorney general on Monday.

Chairman of the Advisory Council of West Sumatra`s Ulemas Council (MUI), Masoed Abidin said the JAI was not a religious organization but a form of imperialist movement aiming at destroying Islam.

Therefore, he said, although the government has issued a decree on the banning of the JAI activities, Islamic organizations should intensify their propagations in order to reduce the influence of the Ahmadiyah.

Seeing the fact that Ahmadiyah has deviated from Islam, the issuance of the ministerial decree will never satisfy Muslims. “But as citizens of the Unitary State of Indonesia, we should thank the government for restricting the movement of the JAI,” Masoed Abidin said.

Unsatisfied with the decree, the Bandung Indonesian Ulemas Forum (FUUI) called on the government to issue a firm presidential decision which banned the JAI teaching and dissolved its organization.

“The decree is subject to multi-interpretations that has the potentials to create conflict. The FUUI demands the government to issue a presidential decision which firmly dissolves the Ahmadiyah and bans its teachings,” FUUI chairman Athian M Ali said in Bandung, West Java, on Tuesday.

He said that the FUUI basically hailed the joint ministerial decree but was of the opinion that it would not resolve the real problem of Ahmadiyah. There was even an impression that the government was trying to protect it.

Mercy sakes alive!

Dissatisfaction was also expressed by an executive of the Central Board of Indonesia`s largest Muslim organization Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU).

“The issuance of the government`s decree needs to be welcomed, though we are not yet satisfied,” PBNU chairman Andi Jamaro Dulung said at Polonia airport in Medan, North Sumatra on Tuesday.

He said the best thing for the government was to disband the JAI organization so that it would not create polemics later on, particularly among Muslims. He said Muslims were deeply disturbed by a teaching which claimed a prophet other than Muhammad.

In the meantime, MUI chairman for Banten province, Wahab Afif said in Serang that the government`s decree needed to be equipped with an implementing rule which was more technical in order to stop or disband the activities of JAI.

He said he was not satisfied with decree as it did regulate the technicalities of stopping the JAI activities or its dissolution. “We hope there would be a regulation which is more technical in nature to stop its activities and teachings which are deviating from the basic tenets of Islam,” he added.
