Indonesian Atheist Could Be Charged With Blasphemy, Islamists Want Him Beheaded…
Ironic considering the huge amount of godless leftists in the West who are sympathetic to Islamists.
(Jakarta Globe) — A defiant declaration of atheism by an Indonesian civil servant has inflamed passions in the world’s most populous Muslim nation, pitting non-believers and believers against each other.
The trouble began when civil servant Alexander Aan posted a message on the Facebook page of Atheist Minang, a group of Indonesians with godless beliefs. It read: “God doesn’t exist.”
The post so enraged residents in Aan’s hometown of Pulau Punjung in West Sumatra province that an angry mob of dozens stormed his office and beat up the 30-year-old.
To add insult to injury, police then arrested him and now want to press blasphemy charges that could see him locked up for five years.
Muslim extremists have called for Aan to be beheaded but fellow atheists have rallied round, and urged him to stand by his convictions despite the pressure.
“Dear Alex, stick to your beliefs. This country has no right to restrict your faith,” Fahd Singa Diwirja wrote on the same Facebook page, where Aan is one of the administrators.

islam….sooo peaceful.
Did Jackboot Janet and DHS help Indonesia with flagging certain words?
Indonesian muslims have to be some of the stupidest people on Earth. Why would they ever adapt an ARAB religion that follows a book, that uses a language that they CANNOT understand. Fools. Thats what they are. Fools. Islam is for ahabs ONLY.
Look, Islamic Rage Boy has an Indonesian cousin… or uncle/brother… or cousin/son… or…
Why would a god who is supposedly speaking to the WHOLE universe use a language that can only be understood by a few people of one ethnicity, who have to study years and years at a sophisticated level, to understand it?
@Rufus – Brother/father.
There is a God but it sure as hell ain’t allah
Still waiting ta here the Liberal outrage.
Chirp, Chirp?
They dont want any ACLU over there lets send them there anyway
I met an Indonesian guy a few years ago. He looked so Chinese. I assumed he was. When he told me his name, I was stunned it was a muzz name.
I looked at him and I said, ‘wow, you’re moslim.’ He relied laughing, “No, I’m gay, that’s why I’m here in the U.S.”
He went on to tell me how his Great Grandparents had moved to Indonesia from China and by the time his Grandmother was born, the muzz were threatening people with death if they didn’t convert. Finally his Grandparents converted and had to change their names to muzz names.
He told me how, on Chinese Holidays, when he was a little boy, his sweet old granny would get a small wooden box out a secret hiding place. She would put it on a table and solemnly open it up. She would then pull out old documents and papers which she delicately unfolded to reveal their real family names. . . . . Chinese names.
Wow! The guy said there is no God and a bunch of guys show up to beat him up?
Wonder if that helped his faith?
