خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

أعرب العديد من أولياء أمور طلاب "جامعة أرانيري" بمنطقة "بندا أجيه" في "إندونيسيا" عن غضبهم واستنكارهم لقيام "روزنيدا ساري" - إحدى المحاضرات الزائرات - باصطحاب الطلاب في رحلة إلى الكنيسة نوفمبر الماضي، وذلك بعد نشر مقال عن الرحلة مؤخرًا على موقع أُسترالي؛ حيث زعمت أن الهدف كان بناء جسر تواصل وتعريف الطلاب على النصرانية.

هذا، وقد أشار قسُّ الكنيسة البروتستانتية إلى أن المحاضِرة طالبتْه بتعريف الطلاب بمكانة المرأة في النصرانية، وإجراء نقاشات حول موضوعات مختلفة.

وفور علم أولياء الأمور ثار العديد منهم، وأعربوا عن غضبهم، خاصةً مع عدم علمهم، وعدم حصول المحاضِرة على إذن للقيام بتلك الرحلة.

وقد زعمت الصحافة تلقِّي تلك المحاضِرة تهديدات؛ مما دفعها للانتقال من منزلها وتغيير بيانات الاتصال الخاصة بها. المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

An Indonesian university lecturer from Banda Aceh has received death threats after taking Muslim students on a trip to a Christian church.

The threats began after Rosnida Sari, who teaches in the Faculty of Mission Work and Communication at the University of Ar-Raniry, posted an article about the trip on the ABC’s Australia Plus website on Monday.

The trip in November was to a Protestant church in Nanggroe Aceh in Darussalam province.

The province introduced sharia law more than a decade ago and authorities have become increasingly hardline in imposing the law in recent years.

In her article, Sari said the trip was aimed at building “a bridge of peace” between Muslims and Christians.

According Andreas Harsono, Indonesia researcher for the New York-based Human Rights Watch, the article went viral over the next 24 hours inciting controversy on campus and in town. “She received hundreds of threatening messages including [threats of] killing,” he told ucanews.com on Thursday.

Harsono, who is a guest lecturer at the university, heard about the threats after she rang him early Tuesday morning. She called him and said that “her mother and little sister have moved away from their house, fearing of possible attacks”.

She too has moved to a safe place and her phone number has changed. Efforts to reach Sari directly have not been successful.

Harsono said he believed Sari had no objective to convert her Muslim students to be Christians. “She wants to help her students to [be] able to analyze, to be able to verify information, thus to be open minded because that is exactly what Aceh needs: an open-minded younger generation to build their future,” he continued.

A pastor at the Protestant Church in Western Indonesia, Reverend Domidoyo Ratupenu, recalled that at least 17 Muslim students came to his church in early November.

“Miss Rosnida [Sari] asked me to explain [to them] about the position of women according to the Holy Bible. Then I explained it. There was also a question-answer session,” he told ucanews.com.

“That’s not Christianization. It’s merely about knowledge,” he said, adding that a number of Muslim students have come to his church in the past for a similar purpose.
