Jakarta – The Bekasi Muslim Congress (KUIB) said it would report the beleaguered HKBP Pondok Timur Indah church to the police for allegedly forging the identity cards of local residents to gain a church building permit.

"They borrowed 100 identity cards from local residents without telling them of the purpose," KUIB secretary Shalih Mangara Sitompul said, as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.

Shalih said that the KUIB would give the police hard evidence of the allegations. KUIB, which said it represented Bekasi Muslims, denied attacking the Christian congregation on Aug. 8.

HKBP Pondok Timur Indah members told the police that 20 members had been injured on Aug. 8 in the fifth attack on the congregation.

Bekasi Police chief Sr. Comr. Imam Sugianto said Thursday there no HKBP members had been hurt.

The year-long conflict between the church and Muslim hard-liners peaked on Sept. 13 when attackers stabbed a church elder and injured its minister.
