Indonesia: Village orders Catholic family to leave because they are not Muslim

Apr 7, 2019 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Will the Islamophobia never end? Here is a glimpse into the (near) future of Europe.

“Yogyakarta Catholic family expelled because non-Muslim (video),” by Mathias Hariyadi, Asia News, April 2, 2019:

Jakarta (AsiaNews) – Slamet Sumiarto…a Catholic painter, is the latest victim of religious intolerance in Yogyakarta special region after he and his family were expelled from a village because they are not Muslim.

The artist has just moved his family to Karet, a village in Pleret sub-district (Bantul Regency), but the local chief and residents refused to accept their presence and ordered them to leave on the basis of a local regulation…

Slamet yesterday posted a video on social media complaining about the situation. This has sparked a controversy across the country, prompting the authorities to open an investigation.

“I just moved here to Pleret and brought all my stuff and paintings to Karet,” said the painter. “Today I am very sad to know that I do not have the ‘right’ to stay and live here simply because I am not a Muslim and my whole family is Catholic.”

“From an emotional point of view, I am really exhausted from this unexpected experience,” he said. “My poor wife, my children and I hope to soon find a good solution to this problem so that I could stay here, in this rented house in Pleret”.

The video drew public attention to the matter and prompted Bantul Regency officials to organise a meeting to solve the issue to satisfy both the Catholic family and local Muslims.

Although an agreement was reached to let Slamet and his family to live in the village under the supervision of the authorities, the painter eventually decided to leave and find accommodation elsewhere….

    In all of Indonesia, there will not likely be any place for this family to live in peace…if they are allowed to live at all.
    I have a friend who lives in that country and she is Christian. Not having heard from her in a very long time, I have to wonder if she is safe. Wherever moslims are, there is a very real danger for others, and in such a country as Indonesia, the danger is great.

      Sharia law is intrinsically discriminatory against women and ‘others’. The more Sharia law is observed, the more discrimination will increase. Once Sharia takes hold, it gradually strangles a society completely.

      @ somehistory…..a line in your post hit a high note…”Whenever Muslims are,b there is real danger for others”
      Since this happened to a Christian family in Indonesia I assume you are speaking of foreign countries…but what about a headline like this….CHRISTIAN FAMILY ORDERED TO LEAVE any town, USA or any neighborhood. USA??? If one don’t believe this could happen then one is fooled….The route the USA is taking today will impact our future and those in power, unless they get some guts. are going yo let it happens….and THE PEOPLE STANDS STILL AS THE WORLD STANDS STILL as our world collapses.

        I meant “wherever” moslims are….there is danger. When they are in the majority…or even just great in number, like ID, MI, MN,…there is a greater danger for those who don’t think, act, and worship as they do. Esp Christians.

        The little girl, in Twin Falls, I think it was, was treated much like this family. The moslims were allowed to remain free and stay in the neighborhood, while the little girl and her family were the ones to leave. It will happen more and more as moslims grow in numbers and political power….in the U.S.

      The mosque near where I live (Indonesia) has added more megaphones for the Islamic call to prayer. starting at 4:15 am I just cant get enough sleep, I get drowsy at about lunch time which is when it blasts again, then again at 3 pm, then again at 6pm, then 7pm. People have been attacked for simply asking them to turn the volume down so for my family’s safety I just do my best with ear plugs and noise cancelling headphones. at 1km away both ear plugs and noise cancelling headphones are needed, with rain noise playing… Anything less and it wakes me up, it really is that loud.

      I plan to move the family soon, but this country has many other religions who do not have the opportunity to leave.

      I’ve noticed they turn the volume down after newyears (night), but never on Christmas day.

      If we do nothing this will be the future everywhere, we will never have peace that includes Muslim on Muslim violence.

    WOW! If turnabout is fair play, WE should be able to ask mohammadans to leave because they’re not Judeo-Christian.

    • Geof Barrington says

      Owensgate ..that would be only fair to ask them to leave ..or to eliminate them

      Apr 8, 2019 at 11:04 am

      Yes. And can you imagine the *howls* of rage from Muslims everywhere. Because Islam is all about non-reciprocity. They demand the right to wreak the most blatant cruelty and injustice upon others; whilst *demanding* at the same time that their precious and lordly selves must always be treated with respect, with kindness, with niceness, flattered and stroked and fawned upon.. it’s revolting.

    No surprise for Christians in Islamic countries.

    During my stay in moderate Islamic countries, it was not even permitted to publish the times for the church service.

    Islam is not compatible and should be banned in the Western world.

    • mortimer says

      Apr 7, 2019 at 8:13 pm

      Thanks, sun, that is very useful information and we should quote that to Christians who are naïve about Islamic supremacism.

        Unfortunately, the majority of the people do not want to listen to us. They are unable to comprehend that not all people around the world share our liberal values. It is very frustating.

    ……………………

    I guess Indonesia really is “moderate”–at least these Muslims didn’t rape and murder this family.

    God, I hate Islam.

        Mary Is this sort of thing worse since Indonesia went full Sharia last year?? What changes do you know of in public or business life so far since the conversion to sharia. I am wondering if they will go down hill economically after joining the Trillion Dollar GDP ‘club’. Can you tell us what you know or direct me to likely sources.

          Apr 8, 2019 at 6:52 am

          Indonesia has not gone “full shsria”, yet. Only a couple of so-called special sharia administrative zones (like northern Sumatra) there have done so. So, adulterers, thieves etc get punished the sharia way after formal judgement. But, these couple of “special zones’ are inspiring the other radicals to push for similar legislation in their areas. That will never be good, once capitulated to!

        Muslims in Indonesia have certainly murdered Infidels before.

      Apr 7, 2019 at 10:46 pm

      Islam is an evil cult full of hate and intolerance! There is no peace or mercy in Islam!
      Muslims are constantly reminded the commandments of allah to despise, hate,
      subjugate, enslave and even kill infidels!

    It is very annoying to watch the intolerant way that Islam always treats non-Muslims and yet non-Muslim western countries are so bloody tolerant towards Muslims. The tolerance is always one way. Most people in our countries are just too nice. Our countries are taken advantage of by the intolerant Muslims, who know what a soft touch we are. And then, you also get the never ending whingeing and whining by Muslims who live in western countries about how they are mistreated and there is all this Islamophobia and so on. I believe they are treated far too well and shown far too much tolerance, which is something they never show non-Muslims in Muslim countries. I don’t believe intolerant Islam should be allowed in our western countries. Intolerant Islam doesn’t deserve to be treated well by any non-Muslims. I hope most people in our countries wake up one day soon and demand that our politicians shut Islam out.

    • Melody 7473 says

      Absolutely right! While politicians continue to pander to Muslims because they either have strong financial ties to these nations, or they are such cowards that shudder at the thought of being called Islamophobic.It seems that we the people are the ones with common sense and a survival instinct.

      • tim gallagher says

        Apr 8, 2019 at 6:11 pm

        Thakns for your comment, Melody 7473. You are probably right that some of our politicians pander to Muslims because they are dependent on oil-rich Muslims nations in some way. Some of our politicians are probably owned by Muslim money. In our democracies, it really all depends on what the majority of the population of our countries demands from our political leaders. What worries me is that the majority of people in most countries ( certainly in Australia where I live) still haven’t woken up when it comes to Islam. So far, they aren’t showing all that much common sense or survival instinct. It seems to me that, when it comes to Islam, only the people in Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland have woken up, along with Japan, who also don’t let many Muslims in. As I wrote above, it annoys the hell out of me that we are so tolerant towards Muslims when they never show tolerance towards non-Muslims. They don’t deserve to be shown tolerance.

    I have a Question for Americans..? Could U ps find out what those two Islamic pests, who have Trojaned their way into the US Senate and who constantly whine and complain about everything American, what have they got to say about the plight of this Indonesian Catholic.. of course other than their constant rantings and ravings of hatred against Trump.

      They won’t mention this–or any of the other Muslim savagery against Infidels.

    I sent this story to an expat friend who has lived in Yogyakarta for many years. He replied saying, ‘I heard this story last week from a friend of mine. It appears that more and more children are being indoctrinated by teachers and clerics in their religion’s pillars of hatred and intolerance.However many Indonesian muslims are rejecting the arabization of Indonesia and are pushing back. The upcoming election will be critical in that it is a battle between Muhamadiah and NU. Corruption vs honesty and transperancy. Prabowo vs Jokowi. If Prabowo wins with his Islamist supporters there will be chaos.’

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 9, 2019 at 12:27 am

      That would be nice–but it is not just “Arabization” that leads to Muslims in Indonesia oppressing or murdering Infidels there. Just look at the mass attacks on Chinese and attempted genocide in East Timur from the recent past.

    • Anthony says

      Apr 9, 2019 at 4:30 am

      I believe the money poured from saudi is used to indoctrinate those poor moslems, and now showing result of intolerance…but actually this is what is taught by quran/hadith, this is the true teaching of mo, just hope that more people wake up to the facts and recent campaign by Prabowo started to alienate SBY, so hope that this coming election will be peaceful and Jokowi can win again.

    [Q] what will the pope Francis do about that Muslim outrage and affront against those Roman Catholics ? [A] Nothing at all.

    Likewise, it may be asked “What will the pope do to help Catholics who are treated so terrible by those Muslims ?” The truthful reply is he that will do nothing ,at all.”

    :”Even in private, one must embrace the supremacist nails-on-a-chalkboard war cry or suffer the consequences. “Moderate” Indonesia’s Supreme Court has upheld a jail sentence for a mother of four who was convicted last year on blasphemy charges for saying that her neighborhood mosque’s call to prayer was too loud.”
