IT was long predicted before the Islam Defenders Front (FPI) and the Crescent and Star Hizbullah group objected to the shooting of Lastri in Solo last week. The two organizations forced artist Erros Djarot and his entire film crew to leave Wedi, Klaten and Colomadu, Karanganyar districts, West Java.

The two organizations submitted a simple reason to justify their actions: the people of Solo did not want to be besmirched by elements of communism.
