Indonesia: Angry Muslim crowd attacks (burn) Java churches
BBC News ^ | 2/8/11 | BBC

Posted on 02/08/2011 9:43:22 AM PST by NormsRevenge

More than 1,000 Muslim protesters have stormed a courthouse and burned two churches in central Java, Indonesia.

The attacks in Temanggung happened after a Christian man was sentenced to five years in jail for distributing leaflets deemed insulting to Islam.

Indonesian police said the crowd considered the sentence too lenient and were demanding the death penalty.

The incident came two days after Muslim villagers in western Java killed three members of a minority Islamic sect.

A police spokesman told the BBC that the angry crowd began attacking the court building in Temanggung after the verdict was read out.

The violence spread to surrounding neighbourhoods where two churches were set on fire and a third was damaged.

Police fired warning shots into the air to disperse the crowds.

The culture of perpetual outrage, anger and violence.

No different than what the "Amish" do in America whenever they feel 'dissed.

What a tragedy that Asians had to fall under the sword of evil Islam.

Sounds like someone should invite them to the negotiating table so they will be nice and work together with others who have different beliefs. (/s)

We should carpet bomb Islamic communities with Bibles and Christian tracts, every time they burn a church.

And after carpet bombing 5 times, we should escalate it, and drop bags of Frito Lay Pork Rinds, and tracts on human rights, and women rights.

“Priest beaten up

A priest in Temanggung saw his church being burned, the windows trashed by the mob, said Windyatmoko Bernardus, a Catholic priest in a nearby town who is a member of the same order.

“My friend was beaten up by the mob before being rescued and taken to a military post,” Bernardus said.”

SOP.

>>>About 1,500 protesters took to the streets and threw stones at the police, who responded with tear gas and warning shots into the air. One police vehicle was set ablaze, Antara news agency reported.

They chanted “kill, kill” outside the court and “burn, burn” as they set upon the churches.<<<

SOP for the ROP.

There is also Muslim vs Muslim violence. Both anti Christian and antiminority sect violence is fairly common in parts of Indonisia, the unrest in the Muslim world is clearly on the rise. Fundamentalism is the order of the day. Carefully coordinated chaos?

I’m sick of this crap. Time to start the next Crusade. May I sugest that we call this one, “The Last Crusade” and provide the historical justification for that name.

Nuke Mecca! When the dust settles, nuke it again.

Stop food and oil imports to and from Muslim lands for five years. We can walk more and wear sweaters, but sand never starts to taste good.

Whop knows?

If it is, we need to find the collective brain and ‘Starship Trooper’ their sorry a$$es.

This chipping away one swing of the blade at a time is a passion, No , more like an obsession thing.

Their teachings suffer no one well who does not accept them.

I hear ya.

I’ve seen the sands of Arabia glisten in a moonlit nightflight fromm Jeddah to Jubail.. not sure what it would look like after it was turned to glass and ruins. Hope it never comes to that.

The Crucible of our beginnings are also the Crescent of civilizations and the Crux of the issues at hand that travail mankind most.

In the end all of things, Some things are just bigger than all of us. Better to relax and sit back and ‘enjoy’ the lightshows likely ahead.. and say a prayer for the Good Guys. :-]

Giddyup!
