The Prosperous Justice Party has asked that the current spate of terror attacks in the greater Jakarta region not be associated with Islam.

Jazuli Juwaini, a legislator from the Islam-based party, also known as the PKS, said the parcel bombs should not be politicized or "corner Islam," adding that the terror attacks should not be associated with the religion.

Islam, Jazuli said, was a peaceful religion and anyone who understood Islam thoroughly would never deliver bombs to another person. "If there is a Muslim does that, it must not be linked to Islam. Islam also denounces all kind of terrorist acts, violence and despotic treatment," he said.

Asking for police to be allowed to do their job and investigate who was behind the five parcel bombs, Jazuli said it was too early to link the attacks to either opponents of the Ahmadiyah sect or the ongoing trial of cleric Abu Bakar Bashir.

Three people have been injured in the parcel bombings, including a police officer who lost a hand during an amateur attempt to defuse one of the devices.
