JAKARTA, May 18 (Compass Direct News) – An Islamic group in West Sumatra province, Indonesia, has issued threats against Dominikus Supriyanto, the only Catholic to win a seat in the district legislature in recent general elections, warning him that he should convert to Islam if he wants to retain the seat. On April 23, after results were announced, a group identifying itself as the Islamic Forum of West Pasaman attacked Supriyanto’s home, slinging stones and breaking several windows. Supriyanto, who was in the house at the time, said the attackers also shouted threats and demanded that he become a Muslim if he planned to stay in politics. Supriyanto reported the incident to police and requested protection. After a brief investigation, police concluded that the attackers had most likely acted on behalf of unsuccessful election candidates. Elections took place on April 9, but the election commission has only recently confirmed the names of those who will take up positions at district, provincial and national levels. Supriyanto stood as a candidate for the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) in West Pasaman, West Sumatra, and won a seat in the district legislature from 2009 to 2014. The district is 98 percent Muslim, but Compass sources said voters supported Supriyanto because of his rapport with the Muslim community. Supriyanto’s party supports pancasila, Indonesia’s national policy of tolerance for all religions. Earlier this year, supporters of other candidates engaged in a so-called “black campaign,†warning that Supriyanto would likely “Christianize†West Pasaman if elected. Despite such accusations prior to and following the elections, Supriyanto is determined to retain his seat. “I was elected not just by Christians and Catholics, but by Muslims,†he told Compass. “I’m going to remain Catholic no matter what happens.†Supriyanto has requested support from fellow party members in Jakarta. The bishop of Padang diocese, Monsignor Martinus Situmorang, said Supriyanto had won the vote fairly and that if threats continued the diocese would take the issue to a national level. Members of the Islamic Forum, meanwhile, have pledged to demonstrate publicly against Supriyanto during his inauguration in July.

Why is it of little surprise that ThraXed would post photos from a disgusting Antisemitic site? Could it be that you are one of the biggest Jew hating bigots that trolls this forum?
Typical of someone who can't even comprehend a simple sentence. Nobody called your precious photos fake. I was simply pointing out how you troll some of the most antisemitic sites looking for negative things to post about Jews. Not really a surprise from a antisemitic bigot like yourself. Enjoy the rest of your day. GO LAKERS!
Isn't the source of the so called news in this thread also one of the most Anti-Islamic website? so do you think about OP, what is he doing? spreading love ? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...to+convert+to+Islam&spell=1&cts=1242757252566
I just got called an anti semetic bigot over the internet by a 32 stone naccarcist american......i think i'll go slit my wrists now.
There is no source provided with the thread as you noted yourself. I didn't post this story so you can bitch to me when I post something from an anti-Islamic website.
of course you are anti-semitic!!! how dare you post such pictures of ugly fat hairy Israelis!!!!!!!!!!! haven't you seen uploas look what he posted: look at this beautiful blond, she is crying now compare it with this you posted: I m sure they thought they were handsome otherwise they would not publish this picture, or even take it from the beginning, but regardless, you see here? they do not look like a victim!!.
Why do people have an aversion to killing and eating things that are cute,cuddly, or likable? I just don't get it.
What most people here fail to see is that this catholic guy Dominikus Supriyanto was elected by catholics, christians and muslims. He is well liked by all the people in his area.
The idea that anyone, of any religion, would tell any other person to change their religion to keep their job is atrocious.
Check the Google link that I provided, OP did not give a source, but a quick G search is enough to find the roots of this yet another Muslim bashing story No, reputed news organization is carrying this , expect of course the the hate mongering site against Islam jihadwatch.org but still of course you will label Thraxed as anti semantic while ignoring OP !
There is no source of news :-s this news only published at site against Islam jihadwatch.org Discussion on such thread where there is no source is useless. Atlease for me
