The National Police says it is ready to back up the Religious Affairs Ministry in efforts to prevent propagation of the Islamic State of Indonesia (NII) movement.
"To prevent more potential victims, cooperation with the ministry is needed," National Police chief Gen. Timur Pradopo said Thursday.
The statement was made in response to recent allegations that NII followers had brainwashed several university students in Malang, East Java and Yogyakarta.
The government had raised concerns that NII had the potential to influence the minds of students. Several days ago, Religious Affairs Minister Suryadharma Ali said his ministry would raise awareness at educational institutions in the provinces about the NII movement.
(Great stuff, but why does that not include the FPI and the rest of that ilk? siK.)
