Lombok. A United States citizen residing on the Indonesian island of Lombok will appear in court “within two or three days” on charges of blaspheming Islam, police said on Tuesday.
Central Lombok Police said the dossier of Greg Luke, 64, from California, had been accepted by the Praya District Prosecutor’s Office.
The charges stem from an incident in which police claim the Californian entered a mosque near his house in Kuta, turned down its speakers and insulted Islam. Luke was attacked by a rampaging mob and his home and contents destroyed or stolen in the aftermath.
Nurkholis, head of the prosecutor office’s general crimes section, confirmed they had received the case file.
“Within two or three days, the US citizen will appear in court on two charges. The first is blasphemy and the second is unpleasant conduct,” Nurkholis said.
“The unpleasant conduct is because he is alleged to have unplugged and damaged the mosque microphone, which locals used for reciting the Koran,” he said.
The nature of the blasphemy charge remains unclear.
Luke has vigorously denied the charges, saying he was assaulted without stepping foot in the mosque.
Police have not charged anyone in connection with the alleged assault or destruction of property.
“Unpleasant conduct”? LOL!
People want Sharia law in the US? Wonderful.
Evidently the police consider that to be perfectly legal. Sharia rules, I presume.
Where is Holder and OKenyan denouncing this?
Moron Commie Muzzie maggots.
Hey Greg-o;
Ya ain’t in the US of A; so you gotta put up with the 3rd world horse-poo. Show me a Muslum state, and I’ll show you a country that has not progressed from the 1300’s socially. If it were not for the geological fluke of these animals having oil under their feet - they would still be nomads.
Hey you live in another country you rub blue mud into your navel just as solemnly as the locals. Otherwise be ready to pay the price.
Ballsy... but pretty stupid in a foreign country run by muzzies.
And no doubt the rampaging mob that attacked him are also facing prosecution, right?
I am sure they still rape their women and farm animals.

In fairness, it might be consent with some of the farm animals.
Does he have a lawyer?
If you want to live with the dogs then don’t be surprised when you wake up with fleas.
I could never see moving to a country where you are outnumbered by your enemies like that. You should know better than to do anything that would give them reason to come get you. Better to retire on our own soil than surround yourself with those who are looking for a reason to kill you.
End trade with ANY nation that prosecutes religious rules of “blasphemy”. Such rules, while applicable in a non-legal, non-binding, voluntary social sanction between members of the same religion, they can only be applied as legal sanctions by denying freedom of conscience - the greatest expression of the foundation of the natural right of Liberty.
I am sure BO will speak on his behalf when he visits Indonesia.
I call a serious BS on this report. If he had actually entered the mosque and did that, how did he leave to get home? They would have jumped him there, and never let him out alive.
It sounds like someone claimed he had done this, and they went to his house to confront him.
Such peaceful folks.
Actually, they are anything but. Watch this: "Three Things About Islam." 8:10 long. Very educational.
For a full understanding of how Sharia is affecting the US, download (177 pages) and read this: "Shariah, The Threat To America, An Exercise in Competitive Analysis".
These educational tools will change your thought processes about Muslims forever.
Allah is a wimp. He can’t defend himself so he sends his goons in to do it.
Elijah had a shootout on a mountaintop with 400 priests of Baal, another phoney god. The real God won. He always does. (I Kings 18:16)
