Indonesia to disband hardline group Hizbut Tahrir
[Al Jazeera] Indonesia has announced that it will ban the group Hizbut Tahrir
...an al-Qaeda recruiting organization banned in most countries. It calls for the reestablishment of the Caliphate...
. It says the organization's ideology calling for an Islamic state is against the constitution.
The move comes just a day before the verdict in the blasphemy trial of a Christian governor, known as Ahok. For months conservative religious groups have protested against him and demanded the Christian governor be put in prison for blasphemy.
