Farouk Arnaz – A man wearing a black mask and a white vest emblazoned with the logo of the hard-line Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) stormed through the door of a small shop serving beer in Makassar, South Sulawesi, angrily pointing around the room before stepping back outside.

Moments later the scene turned violent as members of Indonesia's self-appointed morality police wrecked the shop, swinging clubs at shelves and flipping tables in a vigilante raid on an establishment accused of breaking a Ramadan regulation banning the sale of alcohol. Less than six minutes later, the shop is in shambles.

The raid, which was caught on video and uploaded to YouTube, caught the attention of the South Sulawesi Police which, under the direction of the National Police, arrested three of the men allegedly involved in the attack.

"We have identified three people, they are Emir Faisal, Azwar Anas, and Amiruddin Faruk, and they have been named as suspects" National Police spokesman Insp. Gen. Ronny F. Sompie said on Tuesday.

None of the men had been detained. They each face up to five and a half years in prison under Indonesia's Criminal Code. Police estimated that some 50 members of the Makassar chapter of the FPI were involved in the raid.

The National Police have urged all mass organizations to report violations to law enforcement instead of taking matters into their own hands. "Inform the police if any establishment or business is committing a violation," Ronny said. "Please do not act like a vigilante."

The video-taped raid is the second high-profile incident involving the hard-line organization since the start of Ramadan.

On Thursday, some 48 hard-liners attempted to raid several "entertainment" establishments in Sukorejo, Central Java. The FPI damaged several businesses before local residents turned on the hard-liners.

As the FPI members attempted the flee the scene, one vehicle ran down a couple on a motorbike, injuring the husband and killing his wife.

The violent raid inspired outcry from the public prompting a senior lawmaker with the Democratic Party pushed for the government to disband the unruly group and President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to issue a warning to groups accused of committing religious-motivated violence.

The FPI's chief Habib Riziq Shihab responded by denying blame for the death. He later called Yudhoyono a "loser" and a "disgrace to Islamic teachings.
