A crowd of at least 100 people attacked and torched a prayer centre of the Christian Batak Synod (Hkbp). They had previously attacked another Christian church five miles away. The violence took place on the first day of the holy month of fasting and prayer for Muslims.
A mob of a hundred people attacked and set fire to two Protestant house churches in Logas Tanah Darat, in the Regency of Kuantan, Riau Province (Sumatra). The incident occurred August 1, coinciding with the start of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting and prayer for Muslims, but the news was broadcast by a radio station in Jakarta only late yesterday afternoon. The new attack against the Christian minority, according to some experts, is also a consequence of the "soft" sentences recently imposed by courts against extremists and Islamic leaders in Indonesia.

That reminds me.
Obama will be fasting during daylight hours right?

Look, the horizon is aglow.
Ah yes the first fires of Ramadan, it’s that time of
year again.
And a downgrade of US sovereign debt. Allah akbar.
I wasn’t aware that was part of the tradition.
Were these real churches or symbolic huts built for the occaision?
Sounds like Devil’s Night in Detroit.

Honey, go fetch the kids they won’t want to miss this.
Wow, tha’s awesome dad. Why can’t we have a fire in
our neighborhood?
Well son, we burnt the only church last year.
Well heck.
Look mr. Ingawalla has a new lexis, go set that on fire.
Thanks dad your the greatest, well next to Allah
and Mohammend.
Do they still do Devil’s Night in Detroit?
Seeing some recent pictures and reports from Detroit, it looks like there’s nothing much left to burn down.
Not huts.
The HKBP community has been the target of Islamic extremists for years. Muslims have shut down their church twice and prevented them from holding services in private locations. This month, they have begun to disrupt open-air Sunday services with threats and insults. In the first six months of the year, there were 28 anti-Christian attacks across Indonesia, seven in the city of Bekasi alone.
The HKBP community has been in Bekasi for more than 20 years and can count on about 1,500 members...
Christian Sunday liturgies end with “go in peace”.
Muslim Friday Prayers end with....
Before being overrun by Islam, the people of Malaysia and Indonesia were overwhelmingly Hindu and Buddhists... till the 15th century
Yeah, it does.
You are referring to the movie ‘The Crow’ I assume.
No, actually. Devil’s Night was or is the night before Halloween in Detroit, and setting things on fire is what they did or do.
I did not know that. In the movie “The Crow”, that’s what the bad guys did, lighting fires and creating all sorts of mayhem. I didn’t realize that it was a real “tradition” for lack of a better word.
and the MSM don’t have time to cover stories like this, that keep happening all over the world...
because they are too busy with stories about
“Islamophobia”.
Obama will be fasting during daylight hours right?

he is technically Muslim. the entire Islamic world knows that. He has said the Shahada.
(he recited the “beautiful” prayer flawlessly for the NY Times reporter in 2008.)
so, he either is still, or he is an apostate...
and, if he is, he still doesn’t have to fast,
because of kitman.
I just finished my fasting for Ramadan. I’m so hungry I could eat a whole pig.

Transliteration of the Adhan (Islamic Call to Prayer):
“The following is the Arabic transliteration and the English translation of what you hear:
Allahu Akbar
God is Great
(said four times)
Ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah
I bear witness that there is no god except the One God.
(said two times)
Ashadu anna Muhammadan Rasool Allah
I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God.
(said two times)
Hayya ‘ala-s-Salah
Hurry to the prayer (Rise up for prayer)
(said two times)
Hayya ‘ala-l-Falah
Hurry to success (Rise up for Salvation)
(said two times)
Allahu Akbar
God is Great
[said two times]
La ilaha illa Allah
There is no god except the One God
For the pre-dawn (fajr) prayer, the following phrase is inserted after the fifth part above, towards the end:
As-salatu Khayrun Minan-nawm
Prayer is better than sleep
(said two times)”
From About.com.
The Adhan contains the testimony of belief in Islam, the shahada.
Nick Kristoff reported first-hand hearing 0bama recite the Adhan in ‘flawless Arabic’.
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_081910/content/01125111.guest.html
Ergo, 0bama not only speaks Arabic and can quote the Adhan, but also, by speaking the shahada, he self-identifies as a Muslim.
