ANDUNG, West Java: Muslim residents in Karasak subdistrict, Bandung, staged a protest Friday in front of an unfinished building on Jl. Soekarno-Hatta, which they claimed was an illegal church.
Protestor Yosep Solehudin, said the local Muslim residents had voiced their protest as the church had conducted its activities without their consent.
