A video circulating on X, formerly Twitter, has garnered over 1.5 million views, sparking controversy with its depiction of a group of Muslims allegedly attacking individuals at an Indonesian café for not observing Ramadan fasting. The video shows men emptying customers' drinks and discarding bottles, prompting widespread debate and concern.

The post accompanying the video claims, "In Indonesia, Muslims are hunting down anyone who doesn't observe Ramadan, even Christians. This is Islam. Coming soon to your neighborhood Europe." This claim was analyzed by DW Fact check, which categorized it as misleading.

DW Fact check's investigation revealed that the video does depict a group of men harassing customers at a café in Garut, West Java, Indonesia. These men questioned the customers, who appeared to be Muslim, about why they were drinking coffee during Ramadan. One man responded that he had not eaten Suhur, the pre-dawn meal before fasting, but his explanation was met with skepticism. The group also confronted a woman for serving coffee during Ramadan and criticized another person for smoking.

However, the DW Fact check refutes the claim that the video shows Muslims hunting down Christians. The individuals being harassed in the video are identified as Muslims. The account that posted the video, 'Radio Genoa,' is identified as a well-known Italian far-right propaganda channel known for spreading conspiracy theories and disinformation about migrants, Islam, and alleged crimes committed by asylum seekers in Europe.

According to the Swiss broadsheet Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Radio Genoa employs a strategy of mixing lies, half-truths, and facts to stir up its audience. The publication warns that prolonged exposure to the portal can create the impression that European countries are being overrun by "hordes of barbarians."

Local media and politicians have identified the perpetrators in the video as members of the Garut Islamic Alliance (AUI), an Indonesian societal organization. The incident has been widely condemned in Indonesia, with Deputy Regent Putri Karlina expressing concern that it could damage Garut's reputation and deter investors. She reportedly met with AUI representatives, who apologized for the incident and pledged to prevent similar occurrences in the future.

Indonesia has the world's largest Muslim population, with approximately 242 million people (87%) identifying as Muslim. Despite this, Indonesia is not an officially Islamic country, and the constitution guarantees equal status for all religions. Around 11% of Indonesians are Christian. The Religious Harmony Index (KUB) indicates that almost 76.5% of Indonesians considered themselves tolerant of other people's religions in 2023.

The incident has sparked concerns about religious tolerance and the spread of disinformation. While the video does depict harassment related to Ramadan observance, it does not support the claim of Muslims hunting down Christians. The incident has been condemned within Indonesia, and steps have been taken to address the issue and prevent future occurrences.
