Jama’ah Muslimin urged the authorities to thoroughly investigate the perpetrators and reveal who might be behind them.

The Forum of Muslim Unity also requested Indonesian Police to ensure the safety of religious leaders from all religions, as well as investigating anti-religious movements and matters of a religious nature from parties that are leaning towards communism, liberalism, secularism, Islamophobia and other ideas which are not willing to see the Indonesian nation united in peace and harmony.
