A few months ago human rights organizations were dismayed by the vandalism of an Ahmadi Muslim mosque and killing of three peace-loving Ahmadi Muslims from Cikeusik, Indonesia. The corpses of these three were stripped and beaten. Of the 1,000 strong mob, only 12 were arrested. Even worse, yesterday in a court ruling, the 12 were sentenced to only 3-6 months in jail!
Ahmadi Muslims are amongst the foremost groups that are completely devoted to peace in every sense. Ahmadi Muslims also protest the persecution against other communities like Christians. The inaction of the Indonesian government and its justice system to punish these extremists has set a wrong precedence for the future and has given into the desires of the hard-liners.
If extremists like the ones who killed the three Ahmadi Muslims are left unchecked, the existence of all peace-loving people in Indonesia will be threatened.
