Ramadan Mob Attack in Indonesia Sparks Outcry

Video posted online shows 2 women being beaten, thrown into the sea for allegedly flouting rules by dining in a cafe

Rights groups strongly condemned a Muslim mob attack on two women in Indonesia for allegedly eating in a cafe during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan and criticized police for not arresting the suspected attackers.

A total of 89 organizations and 122 eminent citizens including Catholic youth groups signed a joint statement on April 19 to slam the incident saying that “persecuting women in the name of religious morality is an act that tramples humanity.”

“In fact, no religion teaches every human being to hurt others. This action occurred because of a shallow and misogynistic religious understanding, which views women as a source of disgrace and slander," the statement read.

The statement came days after a video circulated online showed two women aged 23 and 19 being assaulted by a mob in a cafe in Pesisir Selatan district of West Sumatra province on April 8.

The video was allegedly posted by the perpetrators. It showed two victims being intimidated, kicked, dragged, and thrown into the sea while being verbally abused and threatened with burning. The mob also stripped and sexually abused them.

Novianto Taryono, Pasir Selatan police chief said on April 16 that they had named three suspects after questioning 13 witnesses.

He said the two women were attacked because the mob was angry because they visited the cafe during the holy month of Ramadan.

I am waiting for a feminist group to come out against that, but I am not holding my breath.

Indonesia govt regularly sends moslem agents to USA to spy on Indo Catholics in churches so they can harass and blackmail their families in Indonesia just like the Chinese “police stations” in New York City do to Chinese in N.Y. City. Been the re seen that

Just a simple question, why did they not attack the cafe or the other customers? Because they would have fought back?

The cafe may have been owned by non-Muslims.

The "religious" police feel compelled to enforce the rules on other Muslims.

Think about it you had the greatest jihadi, a ghazi, governing the USA as president.

The Muslim third world said he ruled America.

Go figure.

Islam is the majority religion adopted by 98% of the population of West Sumatra. Christians, concentrated in the Mentawai Islands, number around 1.6%, Buddhists are around 0.26%, and Hindus are around 0.01%, the two latter being adopted by immigrant communities.

That's in West Sumatra province - where the incident took place
