JAKARTA, Indonesia – A suicide bomber blew himself up as police were praying Friday, wounding 28 people in the first attack on a mosque since extremists started targeting the predominantly Muslim country a decade ago.
Though houses of worship are commonly targeted by militants in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq, the attack in the West Java town of Cirebon was a first for Indonesia.
Even former Jemaah Islamiyah members were outraged. "To attack Muslims as their performing Friday prayers?!" said Abu Ghifari, who quit the group because he disagreed with some of its doctrines. "It's a great sin!"

Another Friday attack. Isn’t that Islam’s holy day of the week?
if it isn’t earthquakes or volcanoes or tsunamis it’s their friendly piece loving neighbor
That mosque was obviously supporting the zionist state.
Works both ways, bozo. As if muslims haven't been doing the same for thousands of years.
Interesting that the article didn't say what religion the bomber was. Why am I thinking, despite everything, he was muslim.
You need to be careful what you sow.
A friend of mine just started his own business, making landmines that look like prayer mats.
It’s doing well.
He says Prophets are going through the roof.

Though houses of worship are commonly targeted by militants in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq... Even former Jemaah Islamiyah members were outraged. "To attack Muslims as their performing Friday prayers?!" said Abu Ghifari, who quit the group because he disagreed with some of its doctrines.Apparently he doesn't disagree with the six doctrines pertaining to committing mass murder the other days of the week.
I love it. Muslims getting pissed off that someone would attack them on their biggest prayer day of the week.
Kinda remember a bunch of them attacking en masse another country on their sabbath day...
No tears for the muslims. Go cry to someone else about your own vicious, bloodthirsty infighting.
Prophets are going through the roof.
