Gollum Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 The most WTF story I have come across in a long time. What a great fall for Indonesia !!!! Head of the school says this was simply a show of faith. Indonesia's Minister for Education and Culture can't see any wrong in this. No wonder that region is such a ripe breeding ground for international jihadis. Kindergarten under fire after parading children in niqabs, AK47s on Indonesian Independence Day Quote A kindergarten in Indonesia's East Java province has come under fire for dressing children in niqabs and having them carry fake assault rifles for a local Independence Day parade. The pre-schoolers from the TK Kartika — a kindergarten located in an Indonesian military housing complex in Probolinggo — marched on the streets as part of the festivities. Indonesia celebrated its 73rd Independence anniversary on Friday, marking the end of colonial rule with parades and displays of the national flag. But over the weekend, footage of the children walking down a street during the celebrations wearing niqabs and carrying what appeared to be cardboard cut-outs of AK47 rifles went viral across the country. In a local press conference on Saturday, the head of the school Yuliana Tungga Dewi apologised for the incident, according to a report from CNN Indonesia. "We didn't mean any harm, nor did we have the intention to instil any sense of aggression in the children," she said. Ms Dewi said the children's performance was not intended to show support for any radical religious groups, and was simply a show of faith. Speaking to the local Indonesian media outlet Detik, Indonesia's Minister for Education and Culture Muhajir Effendy said he did not see anything wrong with the kindergarten's actions. He said it was clear the school did not intend to radicalise its students. "It's simply a coincidence, and I can't imagine that it could be the implication," he said. On Sunday, he announced his department would allocate 25 million Rupiah ($AU2,346) in additional funding to the school, which he said was necessary for operational costs and to help disadvantaged families enrol their children. Analysts say there has been a shift away from religious pluralism in Indonesia in the past couple years, particularly following the imprisonment of Jakarta's former minority Chinese-Christian governor Ahok, who was found guilty of blasphemy last year.

asterix Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 This is a great opportunity for the senior religious figures of Islam to denounce these type of practices & educate the people (including) the School authorities about Islam as a “peaceful religion” and this type of show of strength does not represent the teachings of Islam... if required, pronounce a “fatwa” to emphasise it... Sounds good? Whom I’m kidding? UrmiSinhaRay, Stradlater, Adi BB and 7 others 1 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turning_track Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Absolutely sickening. This must be given a tacit approval by someone to openly brandish Kalashnikov's & this is proved by the statement of education minister who is defending this act. Shameless creature.

Gollum Posted May 12, 2019 Author Share Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) Muslim protesters in Indonesia threaten jihad if plan to construct Hindu temple is not scrapped THE JAKARTA POST Quote The images circulating online show people protesting with banners, one of which reads: “Be careful! If you insist on building the temple, we are ready to carry out jihad as you are the one who started this.” “Local figures, who are also members of the Bekasi Religious Harmony Forum [FKUB Bekasi], have been discussing the temple construction plan since 2017 without any backlash. The protest allegedly comes from residents outside Sukahurip village,” he told The Jakarta Post via text message on Tuesday. According to FKUB Bekasi data, there are 6,000 to 7,000 Hindus in the regency. FKUB Bekasi head I Made Pande Cakra, who is involved in the project, said that, currently, Hindus from the regency who wanted to practice their rituals had to travel all the way to Pura Agung Tirta Bhuana in neighboring Bekasi municipality. The Hindu community, he said, had established a committee and worked to meet all requirements needed to build the temple. “We have complied with a joint ministerial decree (SKB) that requires that we gain support from local residents and people who will use the temple,” Pande said, referring to a decree issued by the religious affairs minister and home minister in 2006. The SKB requires support for the construction of a house of worship in the form of a list of names and copies of ID cards from 60 local residents and 90 people who will use the facility. “Indonesia is our home. Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity). Adherents of all religions have the same right to observe their religions in their houses of worship. It’s stated in Article 29 of the 1945 Constitution,” he said. They have constructed hundreds of mosques in Hindu majority Bali but discussion to build one small Hindu temple in Java for a 7000 strong community is met with call for jihad !!! Indonesia is going the same route as rest of the Muslim world, sad. Edited May 12, 2019 by Gollum Turning_track 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
