Indonesia Wants “Justice” Over Anti-Koran Video, Hunts Christians
“Jakarta, 4 May (AKI) - A top official from Indonesia’s highest Muslim authority, the Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI), says he hopes that some 60 Christians being sought in connection with the production of a video allegedly containing anti-Islamic sentiments should be brought to justice. “We don’t want revenge but only justice,” [said] Muhammad Nidzom Hidayatullah[.]”
“41 people have already been arrested over the video which was reportedly shot last December at a religious gathering held by members of a Christian students organisation, the Lembaga Pelayanan Mahasiswa Indonesia (LPMI).
Those arrested face blasphemy charges and if convicted they could be imprisoned for up to five years. ”

If these Christians were caught and jailed for producing an anti-Islam video (or vice versa)… would it really be appropriate to call it “justice?”
