"Indonesia: Arson attack against Saint Joseph Chapel in Central Java"

SNIPPET: "Shepherds see smoke coming from the front of the chapel; they find inflammable material ready for ignition. Local Catholics exclude the attacker or attackers are local because of good interfaith relations.

Another attempted arson attack is registered at a local Protestant church."

SNIPPET: "Jakarta – Someone tried to set fire to the small Chapel of Saint Joseph in Pare, a few kilometres from Delanggu subdistrict in Klaten Regency (Central Java). The building is regularly used by local Catholics to pray during weekends.

On Wednesday, a group of young shepherds saw smoking coming from the front of the building. When they came closer, they saw some inflammable material, including used tyres and fuel containers, at the entrance, under the windows and near gates and a fire starting to take hold.

Usually, the chapel is not monitored at night, or when it is not in use. Fr Saptaka, the parish priest at the Delanggu church, said that a similar attack occurred on 12 December 2009 but did not cause any victims."

SNIPPET: "Yesterday morning at dawn, another arson attack hit a Protestant church in Gebyog at Ngemplak, Kartasura subdistrict, some 20 kilometres from Delanggu. Someone saw flames coming out of the building.

Still, Rev Setyo Budi Utomo said that the fire caused very little damage, mostly the windows."

Local Catholics do not know who might be responsible for the act, but they think they must be outsiders.

The muzzl'ems will kill them if they tell the truth.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
