Freemuslim Center for De-Radicalization & Extremism Prevention strongly condemns any terrorist act regardless of where its done and who does it and grateful to the Indonesian authorities for uncovering a two-story house in Central Java used by a extremist group to train recruits for terrorist groups.

More than 96 young adults have undergone intensive training at the Gintungan house in Central Java according to Indonesian authorities, many of whom have been sent to Syria to join other terrorist groups alongside Al-Qaeda and ISIS. Their training included handling weapons, assembling bombs and other warfare related techniques.
