JAKARTA LIFE'S STYLE

Five days after the sectarian violence in Pandeglang district that claimed at least three lives, Banten police chief Brig.Gen.Agus Kusnadi was replaced. His position would be taken over by Brig Gen Putut Bayu Sena, Banten provincial police’s spokesman Adjunct Senior Commissioner Gunawan said here Friday.

Besides Agus, the chief of the Pandeglang district police and the director of the Banten l police’s intelligence division were also replaced, he said. "The replacements have been confirmed by a National Police Headquarters’ telegram that we received on Friday," he said.

Brig Gen Putut Bayu Sena was peviously deputy chief of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, he said without explaining the reasons behind the sudden replacements. "Please don’t ask me about the reasons. Please ask the National Police Headquarters. The transfer of duties will be held at the National Police Headquarters in Jakarta on Monday," he said.

In connection with Sunday’s incident that killed at least three Ahmadiyah followers in Umbulan village, Cikeusik subdistrict, Pandeglang district, Banten province, police investigators had questioned a number of local police officers.

Among them were outgoing Banten police chief Brig.Gen.Agus Kusnadi, chief of the Pandeglang district police Adjunct Senior Commissioner Alex Fauzi Rasyad and Director of Banten police’s intelligence division Senior Commissioner Adityawarman.

The police investigators had also named four new suspects in the Cikeusik incident. They were only identified as KE, KM, KMH, and YA alias I. The police had previously named UJ as a suspect. In the Sunday attack, at least three Ahmadiyah followers who believe in Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the founder of the sect in 1889, as a prophet after Muhammad (peace be upon him), were killed.

In the meantime, Muslim scholars or ulemas in Aceh province have supported the disbandment of Ahmadiyah as one of the options offered by Religious Affairs Minister Suryadharma Ali.

"We support the disbandment option for Ahmadiyah as offered by Minister Suryadharma Ali on the ground that the teaching of Ahmadiyah is heretic and misleading," Secretary General of the Aceh Ulemas Association (HUDA),Faisal Ali,said.

He said disbandment was the best of three options offered by the religious affairs minister because it could prevent undesired things from happening in Indonesia in the future.

Faisal Ali said the government should protect religions that had been recognized by the state and Ahmadiyah teachings were blasphemous to Islam which was the religion of the majority of the Indonesian population.

"If not disbanded, I would like to suggest that Ahmadiyah declare itself as a religion apart from Islam and stop using Islamic symbols such as mosques," he said.
