A Muslim mob also besieged his home. But on these grounds, every Christian in Indonesia and everywhere else, except witless dhimmis, indifferentists and “dialogue” pushers could be arrested for blasphemy. Indonesian authorities appear to expect Christians to affirm that Muhammad was divinely inspired or risk arrest.
“Christian Arrested on Blasphemy Charge in Indonesia,” Morning Star News, October 22, 2024:
SURABAYA, Indonesia (Morning Star News) – Police on Thursday (Oct. 17) arrested a Christian for comments he made about Islam on social media that had led hundreds of angry Muslims to besiege his home, according to local reports.
The Muslim mob surrounded the home of florist Rudi Simamora in Sunggal, near Medan city, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra Province for more than an hour, local media reported. Rudi had stated on his TikTok account that messages by Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, were of human rather than divine origin, and some residents said he asserted that the quranic Allah is racist, according to TVOne.com.
Amid the mob siege, Rudi had appealed for police help via his TikTok account, TribunMedan TV reported….
Rudi had been arrested in 2022 for allegedly insulting Islam, according to Tribun.com, owned by Indonesian media conglomerate Kompas. He was sentenced to one year in prison on Feb. 23, 2023 and released earlier this year.
The Rev. Erwin Tambunan, chairperson of the Medan Regional Indonesian Churches Association (Persatuan Gereja Indonesia Daerah, or PGID), had issued an apology to the Muslim community for Rudi’s 2022 comments and said Christians support all legal processes against such perpetrators….

Rabid dogs is what these slavering brainwashed Mohamedaan idiots are

Why is it Muslims get so uptight if there is any adverse comment or even some form of questioning of their religion and those supposedly initiating it. Investigation seems healthy to me, so what are they frightened of, and why the death penalty for anyone who leaves Islam?.

Quote “Why is it Muslims get so uptight if there is any adverse comment or even some form of questioning of their religion”
In Islam the questioners self identify as apostates and infidels and are to be killed…even killing their own. . To not kill them implies to the devout that they are likewise blasphemers due to any reluctance to “Cut the necks” as instructed in the Quran. Following the religion is one thing but murdering people is another thing…and they are between a Rock and a Hard place and are uptight.
Non Muslim Derangement Syndrome?

The poor man was imprisoned and just recently released. It sounds rather fishy that he would risk going to prison again by putting stuff on social media which resulted in mozlums slavering for his death.
But beyond that, the **non-reverend** ” Erwin Tambunan, is a mozlum enabler and a ***liar****.
Christians do not support this kind of “legal process” and shame on the pretender for calling the man a “perpetrator.”
If he did write such things, he was only being Truthful. Doing so much better than the tambunan creep.

Yes–this may just be more dishonest targeting of the victim.

Quran has some accusation about Muhammad words was human’s origin by the Arabs. No blasphemous accusation was made during that time.
So those who made accusation in Indonesia are straying from Quran. LOL
