A member of the Islamic Defender Front (FPI), a hardline Indonesian Muslim group, takes part in rally calling for the government to ban the Ahmadiyya religion in Medan, North Sumatra province, June 13, 2008. Indonesia's resolve to defend freedom of belief, its constitution protects freedom of religion, has been put to the test over Ahmadiyya. The religion's mosques and sympathisers have been attacked by violent militant groups such as the FPI, and they are under pressure to say they are not Muslim. Indonesia's top Muslim religious council has declared Ahmadiyya a deviant sect, and hardline groups want them banned. To match feature INDONESIA-RELIGION/AHMADIYYA REUTERS/Y.T Haryono (INDONESIA)
