“Police are a frequent target of attacks by militants in Muslim-majority Indonesia, who see them as representing the power of the secular government that they want replaced by an Islamic state.”
Not that this has anything to do with…
“Indonesian officer shoots armed militant to stop his attack,” Associated Press, November 8, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
JAKARTA, Indonesia — A suspected Islamic militant’s frenzied attack on a police station in the Indonesian capital was thwarted by an officer who shot the man in the hand, police said Friday.
Jakarta police spokesman Argo Yuwono said the knife and machete-wielding man repeatedly shouted “God is Great” as he attacked officers, chasing some through the building and smashing a glass door.
One officer suffered light injuries to his arm from a machete blow and another shot the attacker’s hand, forcing him to drop the weapon.
Police are a frequent target of attacks by militants in Muslim-majority Indonesia, who see them as representing the power of the secular government that they want replaced by an Islamic state.
Yuwono said the 31-year-old man, identified as Rohandi, arrived at the police station in Jakarta’s north on a motorbike after midnight and tried to attack at least half a dozen officers by throwing his knife and striking out with the machete….

Oh, all those “moderate” Muslims losing their minds as usual!!
b.a. freeman says
and it’s rather ironic that he “secular” authorities often refuse to investigate attacks on non-muslims, or even enable and participate in same, yet continue to be called “secular.” and *that’s* just *part* of what happens in aceh state!

The authorities in Indonesia may persecute Infidels, but are still not Islamic enough for pious Muslims like this Jihadist.

True
Walter Sieruk says
This incident in Indonesia shows norther confirmation actually reveals just how violent and dangerous Muslim who have embraced the violence , evil and madness of Islam’s “militant” jihad really are.
Moreover, those jihadists with their violence and malicious actions toward the police officers further reveals just how godless the jihadists really are in their violent striving in the jihad for Islam .For those who even attempt to kill police officers must have murderous intentions. They are blatant villains. The Bible teaches that a murderer “will not inherit the kingdom of God. “ Galatians 5:21. Furthermore, in the Bible in Romans 13: 1, 2 it is written “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore, whoever resists the authority resist resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.” [N.K.J.V.] In addition to all this, in verses 3 and 4 in this same chapter of the Epistle of Romans, with emphasis on verse 4 it actually refers to governmental law enforcement officers as a type of “ministers of God” Therefore, it stands to reason that engaging in violence towards police officers are really, engaging in violence towards ministers of God. How evil, how heinously wicked, how demonic, how monstrous. What and affront to all that is decent, good and right.

Convince them they only have Islam to rely upon and they’ll soon shut up and be putty in your evil grasp.

Disgusting but not surprising, Singh. Glad to see that the victim and so many students are fighting back, though.

Indonesian police hardly ever prosecutes the muslims who riot and attack the non muslims. So actually, the police has sided with the muslims. But that is not enough for the muslims, they want the police to be with them attacking the non muslims.

Yep.
