Religious observance disrupted 


Once again members of the Islam Defenders Front (FPI) succeeded in intimidating 
and threatening Christians from conducting their Good Friday worship. This 
event is the most important religious observance for all Christians.

But the most virulent, the most intolerant and the worst possible example of 
inhumanity toward a peaceful congregation made sure that the congregation of 
St. Clara Church in Bekasi were prevented from observing their religious duty. 

Times and again this insensitive group of antisocial hooligans trampled the 
human rights of Christians -- rights that are supposedly protected by the 
Indonesian Constitution. Their intimidation and threats to disrupt peaceful 
religious observance, I am certain, broke at least one of the law and order 
ordinances. The sad thing is that in "defending Islam" they blatantly broke 
Allah's own injunction "to let the followers of the Injeel (Bible) to decide 
all matters in accordance with the revelations contained therein". 

The police, the guardians of law and order as well as protectors of the people, 
as we all have noted over the decades, failed to do their duty. They not only 
failed to arrest the intimidators and those who broke the law, but in fact 
sided with them by advising the victims to dismantle the tents already put in 
place and to desist from performing their most important religious observance.
