There they go again: under Sharia law, dhimmis are forbidden to "display openly" alcoholic beverages. These mujahedin no doubt thought they were meting out just punishment: but this is a hint of what is in store for non-Muslims in the Sharia states that radical Muslims are striving to establish. From AP, with thanks to Nicolei:
Muslim militants in Indonesia's capital vandalized a café popular with expatriates because it was serving beer during the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan, police and one of the militants said today.The Star Deli was closed when around 300 members of the Islamic Defenders Front arrived just before midnight Friday.
They smashed its windows, chairs and neon signs advertising beer, said Mary Gregory, the cafe's owner.
Alawi Usman, a spokesman for the group, admitted vandalizing the establishment.
"We are against immorality," he said. "We are doing this for the future of the country's youth."
No one was injured in the attack, which police did nothing to stop, Usman said. Police confirmed the raid occurred, but declined say why they did not try to prevent it.
A proposal: an antidote for the condition of 'Islamo-inflammation' (the tendency to sudden, uncontrollable violent outbursts), a condition that lies dormant until stimulated by just about anything that messes with the Islamic pride, power, self-identity, etc...in this case neon beer signs and folks laughing over a few suds...
Here is the antidote: at least one heavy abuse of an alcoholic beverage of your choice once a month (preferrably two or three depending on one's health) and screaming good sex (that involves mutual consent and respect for the pleasure of your partner) at least every other month, but preferably as often as possible.
And if one cannot find a partner, learn how to do it yourself without dehumanizing fantasies...
In such ways Scandanavians have avoided the delirious effects of cabin-fever for generations.
Are you taking notes Islamic reformers?

perhaps a light beer in one hand and an AK47 on your knee might have been more effective for westerners in the star deli.
Well, Carrie Nation used to do the same thing and became a feminist icon.
The sharia doesnt forbid dogs to kept on the premises,in fact dogs can be kept for security purposes.A couple of rottwielers will keep the muslimey bastards well away.
