Sky Kingdom Torn Down
2005-08-01
The odd commune in Indonesia has been torn down after Indonesia's imams declared there can be no liberal Islam. Hat tip Dhimmi Watch

JERTEH: The giant teapot and other key structures at the Sky Kingdom commune came tumbling down yesterday after the Besut District Council sent in it's demolition squad.

More than 30 followers of the sect, who watched the demolition, did not resist or challenge the authorities.

Several children of sect leader Ariffin Mohamad, known as Ayah Pin to his followers, were among those who watched the Sky Kingdom symbols crashing to earth...

The followers were taken by surprise when the 40 council workers entered the commune with four excavators and five lorries at 2.30pm. About 50 policemen and officers from the state Islamic Affairs department accompanied them.

Sky Kingdom follower Sulaiman Takrib, 56, said the perimeter wall was the first to go, followed by the assembly hall, the boat, the Dewan Bulat, the Dewan Nasyid, the teapot and other structures...

The Terengganu Islamic affairs department had put them on the wanted list for being involved in teachings deviant to Islamic beliefs.

#5  Well, since the only thing radical imams respect is threats to their own sweet selves, I suggest that these cultists start discreetly killing them. I think they would appreciate liberalism a heck of a lot more if the alternative is personal risk.
