Will the Islamophobia never end? “Two Churches Torched in Indonesia,” from the Jakarta Globe, August 3 (thanks to Twostellas):
Two homes used as churches were burned to the ground in Riau on Tuesday night, a report said.
The incidents are the latest in a series of attacks on minority religious groups in Indonesia that have prompted international condemnation, including from the United States and European Union.
The homes were being used as unlicensed houses of worship in Kuansing regency, VIVAnews reported.
The first was in Pasarbaru in the district of Pangean and the second in the village of Logas in the district of the same name.
A Kuansing Police representative attempted to downplay the incident, saying the homes were “only made of board” and not real churches….
Oh, why didn’t you say so? Then it’s okay!
