Yes, yes, the real headline on this [1] AsiaNews story (thanks to Nicolei) is "Islamic groups threaten to destroy a Christian school." Maybe the Christian leaders were [2] planning to use this school to wage violent war against Muslim Indonesians, after the fashion of the proposed Islamic school in Lodi, California? Nope -- Muslims threatened to destroy the school because they thought Christians would use it to proselytize. Only Muslims can do that, you see.
Cikampek (AsiaNews/UCAN) – Hundreds of Muslims marched on a school under construction by Christian foundation and threatened to destroy it as soon as it is finished. The men form part of three distinct Islamic groups; they came together in Cikampek (65 km south-east of Jakarta) after Friday prayers on 23 September.Ustadz Akhmad Zaenudin, president of the Karawang section of the Islam Defender Front, said during a public speech that the protest would not stop because "the school would be a means of proselytism". Together with the leaders of the other two groups – Islam Defender's Network and the Muslim Movement – he spoke from an open truck outfitted with two loudspeakers. They declared they hated proselytism, not Christians.
