Breaking: Ahmadiyah Mosque Vandalized

An Ahmadiyah mosque in Cipeuyeum, West Java, was vandalized by a group of protesters on Friday morning.

Firdaus Mubarik, spokesman for the Indonesia Ahmadiyah Congregation (JAI) told the Jakarta Globe that dozens of people from neighboring areas pelted rocks at the windows and tried to tear down the mosque.

“Police warned our congregation on Thursday to not use the mosque for Friday prayers, which means that they had known about it,” Firdaus said.

Last year the same mosque was also a target for vandalism when around 40 demonstrators broke into the mosque and burned the group’s religious books.

Police reportedly stood by but did nothing.

    وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ مَنَعَ مَسَاجِدَ اللَّهِ أَنْ يُذْكَرَ فِيهَا اسْمُهُ وَسَعَىٰ فِي خَرَابِهَا ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ مَا كَانَ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوهَا إِلَّا خَائِفِينَ ۚ لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا خِزْيٌ وَلَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ
