Militant Islamic group

If I'm not mistaken, it was another Islamic militant group who staged a demonstration in front of Merdeka Palace last month. The Jakarta Post has referred to the wrong group on its front page on May 2, 2000 titled Gus Dur slams abuse of religion by certain groups.

The Post should clarify this matter to the public and continue to report their threatening activities as these two groups have disrupted the public peace by their actions.

I strongly urge the Police to confiscate their weapons and ban them. There are plenty of libraries in this country where these youths can visit and broaden their narrow-minded thinking instead of campaigning for a jihad. Intruding into other people's affairs is not the way to gain respect.

Note: The group is the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama'ah Communication Forum. Thank you for your correction.
