Jakarta, NU Online
Indonesian Muslims called Tuesday (1/4) for the death of a Dutch politician for making a film that alleges Islam is an inspiration for violence.
The demands came at a protest outside the Dutch Embassy in the capital, Jakarta.<>
"Islam is a holy religion," Shodiq Ramadan told around 50 protesters who shouted in agreement. "Those who have insulted it deserve to be sentenced to death."
Anti-immigration politician Geert Wilders released the 15-minute film over the Internet last week. The Associated Press reported.
It intersperses scenes of recent terror attacks with versus from the Quran, Islam's holy book, and speeches from Islamic extremists calling for attacks on non-Muslims. The film ends with an appeal for Muslims to rip out sections of the Quran it says promote violence.
The film has been condemned as racist and misleading by governments around the world.
On Monday, a small group of protesters also rallied outside the Dutch Embassy.
Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim nation, but hardline interpretations of the faith generally do not attract much support. The government condemned the film soon after its release
last week. (dar)
