Looks like the fears of increased jihadist violence against Indonesian Christians during the holiday season were warranted, according to the Associated Press:
A bomb ripped through a crowded meat market Saturday in an Indonesian province that has been plagued by sectarian violence, killing at least eight people and wounding 45, officials said. Many of the victims were believed to be Christians.The attack occurred in the town of Palu on Sulawesi island as people were preparing for New Year's Eve celebrations, flocking to the morning market that sold and slaughtered pigs, said Brig. Gen. Oegroseno, police chief of Central Sulawesi province.
The bomb appeared to be a homemade device, he said, loaded with ball bearings and nails to maximize the number casualties.
"The explosion was so loud, I couldn't hear for a couple of seconds," said Tega, a resident who lives nearby and uses only one name, like many Indonesians. "I ran out of my house and saw bodies lying around."
Looks like Islam is starting the New Year off with a bang.
New Year is approaching.. Let us have happy thoughts and hopes.We all know that the end to these evil killers are fast approching and their days are numbered..I am very confident that during this comming New Year,we are going to hear the happy news of "Victory over the Evil Jihadists". Don't forget there is a supream forece watching above us,and the Holy Bible says'those who take up the swards, will perish by the sward".
Life is short-Make it useful for yourself as well as for others. Give a helping hand to Robert and his group's Jihad Watch ,for enlightening the world to be more vigilant about this plaque called Islam ,which is slowly creeping into our peaceful societies to destroy it.
Wish you all J/W,D/W associates a Very Happy, and PeacefulNew year. Be Solidly united in the struggle for Victory over the "crescent".
It is very frustrating to know the truth but then be hindered with dealing with these fanatics by the same fanatics like CAIR. They need to be dealt with harshly because they do only respect strength. Then we also have to fight the democrats that want to give these killers legal rights. So we have to fight on many fronts. I know people say that this is not a political party issue but the democrats do hinder us and at the same time help the explosive muslims. The real problem is islam. This political correctness is lunacy. I wish there was a hard core group that I could join to fight these mobots.
I'm waiting to hear that it's all Israel's fault. After all, those poor folk on Sulawesi [Celebes] are really agents of Israel, secretly undermining the Muslim state.
Happy and prosperous New Year to all JWer's
The market bombed sold pork. With this it´s clear the responsible.
