Islamic Sites Ban Sparks Indonesians Uproar
CAIRO – A ban imposed by Ministry of Communications and Information Technology on 19 Islamic websites in Indonesia has sparked uproar in the world’s most populous Muslim state, and this has led to a campaign on social media calling for a quick reversal of the decision.
“I am a Muslim and I am not a terrorist.. Save Indonesian Islamic site, please get it back. #KembalikanMediaIslam,” a Twitter user, AL-HAKIM, posted on Monday, March 30.

“Islam is a religion, and Islam not learning to be a terrorist #KembalikanMediaIslam,” Adetya Rez said.
Twitter users decried a decision by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology to block 19 websites on Monday.
The ban, imposed by Internet Service Providers (ISPs), was protested after targeting Islamic media across the country.
The decision drew criticism from the country's non-Muslims as well.
I'm not a Muslim, but some of the best people I know in life are - and they definitely are not terrorists #KembalikanMediaIslam,” Devita Gunawan said on Twitter.
Others rejected any link between Islam and terrorism.
“I am a Muslim and I am not a terrorist.. Save Indonesian Islamic site, please get it back. #KembalikanMediaIslam,” Ahmad Hidayatullah said.
“I'm Muslim and I'm Pround [sic] of it but, I'm not a terrorist. Save media Islam #KembalikanMediaIslam,” Mulki added.
