There were not many of us, and I am personally not given to taking part in political demonstrations.
But the occasion was indeed demanding to the conscience of every Indonesian: a wild mob claiming to
act in the name of muslim religion attacked and massacred a peaceful Ahmadiyah community, killing
three persons in a most barbaric manner
(more on this at bottom of the page).
So when a call came to join in a protest demonstration,
I felt compelled to take part.
The action was coorganized by
Watch Indonesia Berlin

Not unlike Ku-klux-klan members or neonazis, the attackers at Cikeusik demonstrated their cowardliness in that they too avoided a man-to-man
confrontation, but only dared to single out their victims when these were in an extreme minority. At Cikeusik, the attackers numbering several
hundred attacked a group of about 25 Ahmadiyah members. This meant about ten or more against one! Even then, they only really let out their inner
bestiality on single victims they had managed to isolate from the others.
The mob killed three persons. All three killings were graphically documented. Due to the gruesomeness of the pictures of the murdered victims,
I have strongly blurred the images. If you think you have sufficiently strong nerves to bear seeing them unblurred, you can click on the respective
pictures (WARNING: absolutely unsuitable for children!):

Investigations of the barbaric anarchist massacre apparently revealed that
it was a well planned action of relatively high-placed persons, well experienced
in the organization and logistics of such actions, having sufficient means to
recruit suitable agents to lead the action on the spot.
Person(s) making video recordings
(apparently by cellular phone) were already expecting the anarchist mob,
knowing what they were up to since the moment they showed up on the road that
led to the target site (see picture on the right).
The agents leading the march
wore blue-ribbon insignia on their breast or near the neck, they took no steps to avoid being identifiably
recorded by the video makers who were apparently part of the organization:

The picture on the right shows another
agent with blue ribbon (on his left breast pocket), and in the background a second cameraman with cellular
phone.
The organizers knew that in some
areas in West Java there are communities with a particularly primitive understanding of Islam, remainders
of the abortive Darul Islam (“Islamic state”) uprising of the 1950-s. Badly educated
local religious “teachers” sustain their respected positions in local society by keeping their
followers ignorant and relegating religion to blind repetitions of phrases void of any understanding.
It was thus relatively easy to
manipulate them into this action designed to disfigure Indonesian Islam in the eyes of a general public.

It is noteworthy that the lower body part of the victims were stripped.
Some occasional teachers or wardens at religious boarding schools and dormitories reportedly have
paedophilic inclinations.
This has not only been reported for some Christian organizations in the West, but also for Muslim ones in Indonesia
and elsewhere. Some organizing agents and participants of the massacre at Cikeusik seem to have exhibited a heightened
interest for the naked lower body part of the young men they victimized, as becomes evident from the picture on the right.
It is blurred because it is absolutely unsuitable for minors!

It seems quite shocking that the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs puts the blame for the massacre
on the local Ahmadiyah leader Suparman (click here)
