    It’s well past time the Indonesian government addressed the problem of these vigilantes.

    Back when they were first kicked out of their homes, they applied to the Australian and Canadian embassies for refugee status. Does anybody know whether these applications were rejected or still being processed?

    RD, the Country Research Section of the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) in Australia has a few reports about Ahmadiyah in Lombok, I’d assume they do the reports because they are dealing with specific cases, but I think they are all from 2006 and 2007….I really haven’t heard anything about the refugee applications story so I suspect nothing came of it.

    Not bad huh..from a country that was demanding that China uphold the principles of religous freedom..You could hear the chinese guffaws from here…

    Oh well, we are doing our bit..I just found out that two of our employees are Ahmadiyah after one of our other little intolerables complained..and he enjoyed the quaint western custom of a public flea in the ear….

    australia and canada will only take in proffesionals who can work and earn a living and therefore contribute in taxes, or the wealthy.
    Since ahmadiyahs are not in these categories, why not send some money for relocation within indonesia. much cheaper too.

    Pretty shameful, in my opinion.

    I wonder what Din Syamsuddin has to say about the Ahmadiya, since he was so loudly demanding China respect the religion of Uighers?

    as muslim I am not against other religion, but Ahmadiya is not a religion, it make fun of true Islam.
    the founder was Ahmad Qadyan from Pakistan. he said,that he was send from Gud as Prophet Jesus(Maseha), he was killed by muslims, and his som named him self as Jesus(2) and the Jesus (5) live in UK now.
    the founder maked his religion by the help from UK.they get money from UK and all countries in europe support them. they are allowed to build their Moske(masjid), but muslim muslims are not allowed to have masjid in europe.
    it is shameful, that people accept religion by getting money. I have seen people in indonesia,that change their religion and name by getting money.
    only stupid and money lovers will accept Ahmadiya as religion

    And he brought 15 million of his brothers with him – the last supper is going to cost a fortune this time around.

    Mr Right, what the hell are you talking about?

    First, who are you to say whether Ahmadiya is a religion or not, or to judge someone else’s religious beliefs?

    Second, you clearly don’t know the first thing about Ahmadiya, considering that the founder was Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, and that he died almost 50 years before the founding of Pakistan.

    Third, what on earth are you on about Muslims not being able to build mosques in Europe? Have you ever been to Europe? There are mosques in virtually every city and every major town.

    He wasn’t wrong about Jesus being British though was he? and the 15 million brothers….

    Are you talking about “Jesus(2)” or “the Jesus(5)?”

    Sounds like Dickie Davies reading the football results :-

    Jesus 5 , Mark 2

    Nebucadnezar 0 , Abraham 3

    Jesus 2 – the Jesus 5

    Match officiated by “Gud”

    Why don’t they just ban everything and be done with it?
    after Ahmadiyah, Indonesia is the next one, soon as possible they will do it, and our next of kin just have a memory such as dementia or alzheimer’s.
