491572Why aren't measures being taken to "freeze" the MUI, or at least tell their members to shut-up and mind their own business?
Are there no anti-stalking laws in this country? Oops - pardon me - stupid rhetorical question.
Pay attention as we're seeing more intensive oppression against the Ahmadis and Shia muslims in 2012! Soon enough, the so-called "peace-loving" moderate SILENT majority Indonesian Muslims will have to succumb themselves to these small extremist Indonesian Muslims groups such as FPI FUI and Garis (all claim to represent the true face of "Islam").. and that'll be recorded in history as the story of Islam radicalisation in Indonistan.
When will all this religious bullsh*t end and tolerance start to be taken seriously?
The MUI are simply a bunch of thugs who want control. I know religion was created to control the people but that is decades if not thousands of years out of date. It is time that people moved their brains into the 21st century.

Mainstream Islamic leaders in Yogyakarta are claiming the right to oversee the activities of Ahmadiyah groups after local adherents of the sect were threatened by an angry mob on Friday.
“We will continue to supervise all activities of GAI [Indonesian Ahmadiyah Movement] and Jamaah Ahmadiyah Indonesia,” the head of the Yogyakarta branch of the Council of Ulema (MUI), Thoha Abdurahman, said on Sunday.
On Friday, hundreds of people calling themselves Front Umat Islam made an angry visit to interrupt an Ahmadiyah religious study session held at the Piri vocational high school in Yogyakarta.
Thoha blamed the Ahmadis themselves for the incident, saying they had breached an agreement to inform the MUI of all their activities and the content of any teaching materials.
