Where is Obama calling on these "assailants" to stand down? Why isn't anyone calling upon the Indonesian Islamic authorities to make stronger efforts to ensure that the adherents of the Religion of Peace don't misunderstand it so drastically as to think that attacking Christians could be justified? Don't they realize they're just going to provoke those familiar figures on today's political landscape, the bloodthirsty, revenge-minded Christians? "Christian worshippers attacked in Indonesia," from AP, September 12:
BEKASI, Indonesia -- Assailants stabbed a Christian worshipper in the stomach and pounded a minister in the head with a wooden plank as they headed to morning prayers Sunday outside Indonesia's capital.Neither of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening.
No one claimed responsibility for the attacks. But suspicion immediately fell on Islamic hard-liners who have repeatedly warned members of the Batak Christian Protestant Church against worshipping on a field housing their now-shuttered church.
In recent months, they have thrown shoes and water bottles at the church members, interrupted sermons with chants of "Infidels!" and "Leave Now!" and dumped piles of feces on the land.
Local police Chief Imam Sugianto said Asia Sihombing, a worshipper, was on his way to the field when assailants jumped off a motorcycle and stabbed him in the stomach.
The Rev. Luspida Simanjuntak was smashed in the head as she tried to come to his aid....
Leading the charge against the Batak Christians has been the Islamic Defenders Front, which is pushing for the implementation of Islamic-based laws in Bekasi and other parts of the nation.
They are known for smashing bars, attacking transvestites and going after those considered blasphemous with bamboo clubs and stones. They also pressured the local government early this year to shutter the Batak church.
Perpetrators are rarely punished or even questioned by police.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who relies heavily on Islamic parties in parliament, has been widely criticized in the media for failing to crack down on hard-liners.
But he immediately called on authorities to investigate and to hold accountable those responsible for Sunday's attack.
"We know who's behind it," said Maj. Gen. Timur Pradopo, the police chief in Jakarta, without elaborating. "But I don't believe this is an inter-religous conflict."
Of course not. All you have to do is call people "Infidels!" before attacking them, and you'll thereby ensure that dhimmi authorities will find that the attack had nothing to do with religion.
" But suspicion immediately fell on Islamic hard-liners who have repeatedly warned members of the Batak Christian Protestant Church against worshipping on a field housing their now-shuttered church."
why is the church shuttered?....oh...that would be because the Muslims insist upon it...

OT: the current theory(from flippin' through old National Geographic magazines) ~ East Asian and Aboriginal Taiwanese people migrated to become the Polynesians and Micronesians who navigated the largest ocean on the planet thousands of years before Europe or anybody else.. their reason to explore did not come from famine or war, our guess is they did it just to see what was out there.
..and even here, infected by islam.

"Islamic *Defenders* Front"—Islam, the only religion where stabbing an innoffensive Christian parishioner in the stomach while pounding his minister in the head with a wooden pland can be considered "defensive".

That would be Shari'ah law—because if stoning sentences are good enough for Aceh, why should Bekasi, right outside the capital, "enjoy" anything less?

As Pulsar, above, noted, Muslims have already gotten this church shuttered—but that is not enough. Harassment has now escalated to violence—and if none of the injuries were life-threatening this time, they may be next time.

This has become depressingly common in the Muslim world. In "moderate" Muslim countries, the victims themselves may find themselves in "protective custody", while in the worst parts of Dar-al-Islam, the police may well join in themselves.

Maybe it's not an "inter-religious conflict" only because the Christians won't fight back...

What could bar-hoppers and transvestites possibly have in common with devout, church-going Christians? Only that they have all run afoul of the "Religion of Peace". This goes to show that all the victims of Islam need to stick together.

ARE NOT LIFE THREATENING?
Where is this reporter from? Another planet? Oh, wait, he's islamic! islam where being whipped 100 - 500 times is a common, everyday thing.
We have a possible misunderstander of Islam here in Denmark, a mysterious foreigner of three false identities, one leg only but many faces and disguises and who cannot remember his name after a minor explosion the other day in a hotel toilet where he was preparing something. And apparently in possession of the address of the "Muhammad Cartoons" newspaper.
Maybe the JW community have seen him somewhere? Or is he just your ordinary criminal making good use of open borders and called in for some special job? Lower part of one leg missing.
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men."
(Winston Churchill / 1874-1865)
It amazies me to realise that we really do not understand just how long this has been going on, here is an account from 1899, 111 years ago.
"Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die. But the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytising faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome."
(Winston Churchill / 1874-1865)
"Muhammad legislates for all and makes exceptions for himself."
Whooo, the Big O did'nt hang about in getting Churchill presence removed from the White House when he moved in. Telling that, putting two and two together
Thanks for the quotes from Churchill's "River Wars." It's amazing how applicable they still are.
Oh, and I love your handle. Is it Klingon?
Indonesia. Ain't that one of Prez Barack Hussein's home countries? That particular hell-hole boasts orld's largest Moslem population they say.
*** Bukhari Vol 4 Bk 52 Nbr 44 ***
Maybe that's where Barack's tolerance to Moslem activism came from. He and others call it "terrorism" but Barack and I know what it is: Moslem Activism. Jee-had! It's fun, but to be seriously also:
A man came to Mohammed and said, "Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad in reward." Mohammed replied, "I do not find such a deed." ... Mohammed said, ""The Mujahid (i.e. Muslim fighter) is rewarded even for the footsteps of his horse while it wanders bout grazin) tied in a long rope."
You will not hear anything from Obama nor will hear anything from Clinton about Muslims attacking Christians Jews or any other non Muslim religion. ( I must say that Bush was just as guilty). The main stream media won't report it and if they do they will spin the story and water it done beyond comprehension.It is clearly evident that for non Christian religions most governments in the world (especially those of Islamic countries)are not going to protect you. It has become most evident that if non Muslims do not violently protect themselves then they will continue to be persecuted until they either convert to Islam or leave that country.This has been Islam's ( the religion of peace) method of operation for over 1300 years. It hasn't changed and it will not. The honest Muslims are very truthful about this.
