499756Does the Imam of NY has anything to say about this past unfortunate event during his trip here??
Why would these people react with a similar violence as their brothers may have done to make a point in the old dark days??
Believers of a religion may act upon with their beliefs as non negotiable by non believers.

That's what some of our Arabic inspired friends want - indeed preach
We are tolerant so long as its by our rules.. If you offend us (and goodness knows its so easy) we will attack you - which of course is ok because the Koran permits it and even the president supports us
That came straight from mafia playbook. We won't cause any harm, just obey us.
“We warned them several times not to continue their activities. But they kept doing it,”...(so we attacked them)..... what more can one say....

Cianjur, West Java. Twenty men have been named suspects in the Friday attack on a mosque used by Ahmadiyah sect members in Cipeuyeum village, Cianjur, West Java, police said.
“Though we have not yet detained them, the suspects are obliged to report to us periodically. Up till now, we are still collecting data and investigating the motive behind the attack,” Cianjur Police Chief Agus Tri Heriyanto said on Tuesday.
According to police, one of the suspects, Asep, admitted that he and his associates had committed the attack, but they had done it because the Ahmadiyah members insisted on conducting their religious services in the neighborhood.
“We warned them several times not to continue their activities. But they kept doing it,” Asep said.
The attackers, residents of neighboring Cisaar village, wrecked the roof, broke the windows and generally ransacked the mosque, leaving it in shambles.
