JAKARTA (Reuters) – Hundreds of hardline Indonesian Muslims burnt a mosque early on Monday belonging to a sect that has been branded heretical by most Muslims, police said.
The attack, in West Java’s Sukabumi district, came after a government team recommended this month the Ahmadiyya sect be banned because its teachings deviate from the central tenets of Islam.
Sukabumi police chief Guntor Gaffar told Reuters the attack followed an ultimatum by the Jamaatul Mubaligin Forum, a little known group, on Friday to the Ahmadiyyas to remove a signboard from the mosque within two days.
