 Religious groups say the dominie's academy practises a kind of Islam inharmonious with the Holy Quran 

 

 After his religious boarding academy sparked demonstrations for allowing women to lecture and offer prayers alongside men, a Muslim dominie has been detained on dubitation

 of sacrilege and hate speech, authorities blazoned Wednesday. 

 

 The Al- Zaytun boarding academy in West Java, the most vibrant region of Muslim- maturity Indonesia, has come under fire from religious groups who claim it practises a kind of Islam that's inharmonious with the Holy Quran. 

 

 After being questioned, 77- time-old academy star Panji Gumilang was taken into guardianship beforehand on Wednesday, public police spokesperson Ahmad Ramadhan informed journalists. 

 

" Investigators took legal action and he's detained in the felonious disquisition agency's detention installation for 20 days," he said. 

 

 Gumilang faces five times in captivity for sacrilege, six for spreading hate speech and 10 on the charge of spreading fake news and designedly causing chaos in public, according to the charges. 

 

 The academy sparked uproar in religious circles and demurrers outside its emulsion when social media footage in late April showed women soliciting in the same row as men.

 According to traditional Islamic prayer, women are generally anticipated to supplicate behind men. 

 

 Another practice of the academy that sparked contestation was allowing women to give a homily in Friday prayers, a task generally reserved for men according to traditional Islamic tutoring. 

 

 The academy which was established in 1999 and holds around 5,000 scholars is also indicted of ties to Darul Islam, a group that fought for an Islamic state in Indonesia in the 1950s and 1960s and survived a military defeat, AFP reported. 

 

 Thousands have gathered outside the academy several times since late June to call for its check. 

 

 Indonesia's sacrilege legislation has been on the enactment books since 1965 but was infrequently used before the end of authoritarian rule under oppressor Suharto in 1998. 

 still, rights activists say the sacrilege law checks free speech and puts religious freedom under increased pressure. 

 

 Indonesia recognises six sanctioned persuasions but the growing use of the sacrilege law is fuelling fears that its moderate brand of Islam was coming under trouble from decreasingly influential revolutionaries, according to AFP.
