Human rights groups also expressed outrage after a member of the Ahmadiyah sect, which are regarded as heretics by some conservative Muslims, was sentenced to six months for defending himself and others from a lynch mob which killed three of his friends.

The sentence was the same or stiffer than those handed out to 12 Islamic extremists who led the mob in the February rampage.

Isn't this where the most extreme of Islamic extremists are? I recall reading that Google Earth has large areas of Indonesia blanked out, presumably because this sort of thing.

Woefully undereducated about this but I do notice that this doesn't seem to have changed over at least a decade. I guess that's the nature of religious wars?
