Preacher arrested for reciting prayers in Indonesian and Arabic
Indonesian police have arrested a Muslim preacher for leading daily prayers in both Arabic and Indonesian, a practice mainstream clerics here have condemned as against Islamic teachings, police said on Sunday. Police are planning to charge Yusman Roy with "despoiling an organised religion," a crime that carries a maximum punishment of five years in jail.Posted by: Fred 2005-05-09 |
