No one was injured after a group attacked an Ahmadiyah
mosque, in Cipeuyeum in Cianjur, West Java , on
Friday morning.
“The attack occurred at around 8 a.m. No one was there. The
mob tore down the roof, glass windows and damaged the library, as well as a
television. There were no casualties,” Hafid, the head of the local Ahmadiyah
community, told The Jakarta Post over the telephone on Friday.
After the police told him that demonstrators planned to
protest at Nur Hidayah mosque on Friday, Hadi said he asked the 200 members of
the community not to hold Friday prayers at Nur Hidayah.
“We are very disappointed. We built this mosque on our own,”
he said.
Cianjur Police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Agus Tri Heriyanto said
that the mayhem occurred when the mob arrived before his planned visit to the
mosque to remind the congregation of a decree banning the propagation of
Ahmadiyah belief.
“Local residents have reminded the Ahmadis not to hold
Friday prayers in the mosque, but to conduct services in other mosques, together
with other residents instead. However, [the Ahmadis] did it anyway over the
past three weeks,” he said.
