Muslim organizations should exercise restrain from protesting for
the disbandment of the Islam Defenders' Front (FPI) over the
attacks at the National Monument (Monas), says Peaceful Alliance
Against Islam's Defilement coordinator.
Noer Muhammad Iskandar said Muslim organizations should not get
involved in the clamor for FPI's disbandment because the matter
was being legally settled by the appropriate authorities.
He said whether or not FPI should be dissolved was a matter
that only a court of law could decide.
"Physical or verbal conflicts among Muslims would only
disadvantage Muslims themselves," said Iskandar, who is also head
of the Asshiddiqiyyah Islamic Boarding School.
He said Ahmadiyah's dissolution would not be a violation of
religious freedom.
"Muslims' demand for the disbandment of the deviant Ahmadiyah
sect is not a violation of religion freedom because Ahmadiyah
has defiled Islamic teachings by recognizing Mirza Ghulan Ahmad
(Ahmadiyah's founder) as the last prophet, instead of the Prophet
Muhammad."
Iskandar urged the government to put an immediate end to the
controversy concerning Ahmadiyah by issuing a joint ministerial
decree on the sect's fate.
