ICC has learned that a bomb went off in cafe in the town of Palopo on the island of Sulawesi today (10:15 pm local time) killing 4 people.
No one has claimed responsibility but Sulawesi is home to one of the largest concentrations of Christians in Indonesia and its Christians have been attacked repeatedly in the last couple of months (especially in the Poso area) by Islamic militants.
Thirty-five Christians have been murdered in the last few months

Perhaps the word "Indonesia" could be added to the title?

Is it just me, or do others see a pattern?
Muslims, indiscriminately killing non-Muslims - ALL OVER THE WORLD.
Unchecked, this could lead to some VERY ugly reprisals in the future.

Muslims, indiscriminately killing non-Muslims - ALL OVER THE WORLD. Yup. Last week Mohammedan terrorists burned 20 schools in Thailand and then ambushed the firemen and troops that accompanied them. They can't even get along with Bhuddists, fer cryin' out loud.
