Indonesia: Woman complains about mosque loudspeakers, gets blasphemy charge, Muslims burn Buddhist temples

Aug 19, 2018 11:25 am By Robert Spencer

Moderate Indonesia.

“Woman on trial for blasphemy in Indonesia after her complaints about noisy mosque sparked riots,” Associated Press, August 14, 2018:

Indonesian prosecutors have demanded an 18-month prison term for a woman who was charged with blasphemy after she complained about the volume of a mosque’s loudspeakers.

The ethnic Chinese defendant, Meiliana, 44, was arrested on May 18, about two years after her case triggered a riot in Tanjung Balai, a port town in North Sumatra province.

A spokesman at the local prosecutor’s office, Sumanggar Siagian, said Tuesday the sentencing demand for Meiliana was made at the District Court in Medan, the province’s capital, on Monday.

Prosecutors said the defendant had violated Indonesia’s criminal code by committing blasphemy against Islam, the dominant faith in Indonesia.

Mobs burned and ransacked at least 14 Buddhist temples throughout Tanjung Balai in a July 2016 riot after reports of Meiliana’s complaint emerged….

    Their response to even the slightest hint of what they consider to be insulting in some way is always the same…….. rioting, burning, terror and murder.

    Has anyone ever followed up on Obama’s manservant in Indonesia who was a gay transgender? Is he still alive? If not, what happened to him?

      I read somewhere that Turdi was living in a Djakarta slum in 2012, earning his living by doing laundry. Don’t know if he is still alive. He would be in his 70’s now.

        Wonder if Lord Obama, Most Merciful and Generous, could slip him a couple Benji’s and make him rich by slum standards?
        .
        I a glad he is still alive. I figured since Obama ratted him out he’d have had Islamic Justice dealt him for his life style.

    When we bend our laws to accommodate islam soon the muslims will bend us to their law.

    Kindergarteb kids in a small city in Indonesia dressed like ISIS jihadists and carried toy guns.

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/aug/20/kindergarten-dresses-children-as-jihadists-for-parade-in-indonesia

    In 1980s, it was very rare to see a girl covering her hair. Now, it is very common to see a group of girls all covering their hair, and some of them also covering their faces. I think, schools in various levels, are forcing the girls to wear hijab.

    Moderate indonesia? There has been thousands of church attack in Indonesia, in most cases the attacks were not mentioned and then forgoten in addition of other form of oppresion toward the churches and other minority groups.

    Can anyone answer a trivia question about Islam?.

    Apparently, when Muhammadans took a city, like Constantinople, the caliph or whomever the leader was, h=gave them THREE DAYS raping and pillaging. This three days seems to be an obligatory custom if the men managed to take a town.

    Is this in the quran, hadith, etc.? Or is it perhaps just the custom of, say, Mehmet II at the time?.

    I thought this was interesting because it was usually three days pillaging, killing, and raping.

    Then I heard on a documentary that this three days was an obligatory custom. I just wondered from where?.
