SUKABUMI - A group calling itself the Jamaah Al Mubalighin Communication Forum burned down a mosque belonging to the "deviant" Ahmadiyah sect in Parakan Salak village in Sukabumi regency, West Java, early Monday. Sukabumi Police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Gunthor Ghafar told that the incident began when the forum members met Sunday for a Koran reading session at At-Taqwa Mosque, about 700 meters from Ahmadiyah's Al Furqon Mosque.
The forum members then issued a five-point ultimatum to the Ahmadiyah members, including a demand they "return to Islam" and take down the Ahmadiyah sign from Al Furqon Mosque. Head of Ahmadiyah in Sukabumi, Asep, told the forum members they needed time to discuss the ultimatum.
The two sides then held a meeting around 7 p.m. on Sunday. During the meeting, Ahmadiyah agreed to remove its sign from the mosque, with the promise that the forum members would not vandalize Ahmadiyah property. However, forum members attacked the mosque and burned it down shortly after midnight.
