Muslims considered insufficiently orthodox have also been under threat. Hundreds of militants recently attacked mosques, as many as 33 houses and a number of cars in Cianjur, West Java, because the property belonged to the"heretical" Islamic Ahmadiyah sect. Ominously, the militants say their actions are condoned by both the state and by peak Islamic bodies.

Yes, the Muslims have their own Nazis and they behave just as timidly as the European did in the Thirties. This is bad news for us but worse news for them.
