We’ve also seen Muslim death threats in the U.S. this week — over a coloring book. The intimidation, the thuggery, the hatred, contempt and menacing of unbelievers is the same the world over — yet the world looks the other way, or kowtows to the Islamic propaganda machine that spuriously claims that Muslims are the […]
Indonesia: Islamic jihadist who smashed skull of member of heretical sect hailed as hero
The irony is that the Ahmadis in the West are energetic water-carriers for the Islamic supremacists who consider them to be heretics. An update on this story. “No shame for religious killings in Indonesian town,” from the Associated Press, August 9 (thanks to Twostellas): CIKEUSIK, Indonesia — When Dani bin Misra was released from prison […]
Indonesia: Ahmadi who was critically injured by Muslim mob gets mysterious jail term, longer than attackers who killed 3 people
Deden Sujana was the head of security for the Indonesian Ahmadiya Congregation, and his exact offense is unclear. As the Ahmadi movement is increasingly banned or marginalized after essentially being blamed for provoking the attack by existing, it appears he is in hot water for trying — or considering trying — to fight back: “According […]
Indonesia: Ahmadis brace for Ramadan bloodshed
Ramadan: the month of jihad. “The extremists say this is a holy month, everything must be pure and sacred. So we, the Ahmadiyah followers, must be cleared out.” “Muslim sect braces for Indonesia Ramadan violence,” from AFP, August 2 (thanks to Twostellas): JAKARTA – AS MOST Indonesian Muslims started the fasting month of Ramadan peacefully […]
Indonesian officials shrug off light sentences given to members of mob who lynched Ahmadis
If the shoe were on the other foot and Ahmadis got off easy for committing some crime against Muslims, it would be an outrage. Something would have to be done about it. But the light sentences the murderers got and the lukewarm reaction by officials are all the more proof that non-Muslim lives are already […]
Indonesia: Members of frenzied mob that killed 3 Ahmadis get a few months in jail
The attack was videotaped as a crowd shouted “Allahu akbar!” and young boys recorded it on their mobile phones. The savagery of the murders did not lead, as one would logically expect, to enhanced protection of Ahmadis within Indonesia, but to the opposite. They were essentially blamed for causing the attacks by existing, and banned […]
Pakistan: “The level of religious intolerance has increased considerably during the last 10 years”
Wherever there arises an renewed interest in enforcing Sharia, harassment goes up, tolerance goes down, and civil liberties including the freedoms of worship and of conscience are threatened. Hence the intensifying persecution of Ahmadis as well as Christians and other religious minorities in Pakistan. Don’t miss the slick swipe at the “religious right” in the […]
Demands to ban Ahmadi sect in Indonesia continue to spread
One will recall that the recent wave of moves to ban Ahmadis from the public practice of their religion and even identifying themselves as Ahmadis began with the savage murder of three members of the sect. Authorities, who regard them as a heretical Islamic sect, essentially blamed the victim for causing trouble by existing. And […]
Indonesia: Another province bans Ahmadis from publicly practicing their religion
This trend has arisen in response to recent episodes of persecution, though the Ahmadis were not the perpetrators, but the victims. It is striking how quickly Indonesian authorities can move when they care to in order rein in Islamic “heretics.” Of course, such pious zeal is never directed at, say, the rabid thugs (and supposed […]

Here’s a recent Jihad Watch headline: Indonesia: Machete-wielding Muslim mob attacks Ahmadi Muslim “heretics,” murdering three That was from February 6. And now authorities in Indonesia are claiming that the Ahmadis have “stirred up community conflicts.” This is exactly the same Islamic supremacist evasion of responsibility and tendency to blame the victim that we saw […]
