One moviegoer is asking why hard-line Islamic protestors are threatening to raid Bandung’s movie theaters unless the film “?” is pulled from the screen

Nindya Anggraeni, a moviegoer at Bandung Indah Plaza shopping center, said on Thursday that she watched Hanung Bramantyo’s latest movie and thought it offered a reflection of the country's social situation.

“It's a good movie. The story is both interesting and educates its viewers to accept all differences. So why does it have to be withdrawn?” she said.

The Bandung municipality urged local cinemas to stop screening of the movie on Thursday follow a protest from the

hard-line Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), which threatened to raid local movie theaters that screened the film.

Around 100 FPI members rallied in front of the Bandung’s tourism and culture agency's office on Tuesday, demanding that the movie stopped being screened in the city.

Nindya said FPI's protest baffled her.

“The movie teaches us a lesson,” she said.
