MAKASSAR, Indonesia – Two attackers blew themselves up outside a packed Roman Catholic cathedral during a Palm Sunday Mass on Indonesia’s Sulawesi island, wounding at least 14 people, police said.

A video obtained by The Associated Press showed body parts scattered near a burning motorbike at the gates of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in Makassar, the capital of South Sulawesi province.

Rev. Wilhelmus Tulak, a priest at the church, said he had just finished celebrating Palm Sunday Mass when a loud bang shocked his congregation. He said the blast went off at about 10:30 a.m. as a first batch of churchgoers was walking out of the church and another group was coming in.

It doesn’t matter.

Only “hate” crimes in the US by whites against anyone who’s not white matter.

Not sure what a “hate” crime is, but I know it can’t be committed against Christians.

The media says so.

God bless these souls and prayers for the families.

What a terrible thing.

Not downplaying the terrible deaths that occurred the past week.

Just pointing out that no media outlets will cry and there will be no marches over this atrocity.

A buddy of mine did some teaching over there. Here, we want to bring them to justice and arrest them.

Over there, they’re getting ready to cut some throats and burn some villages.

I wonder if Biden will comment on this outrage like Obama used to and call the victims “Easter Worshipers” or, in this case “Palm Frond Worshipers.”

The audacity of people to gather to worship. According to the religion of peace, they had it coming.

Body parts scattered sounds a little more serious than 14 wounded. No deaths? I hope not.

In the US, the headline would say “Two Asians dead in attack on Asian Church by religious extremists”

Is it my imagination or has this crap increased greatly since Trump left office and now they know nobody will be hunting them down like the mad dogs they resemble?

I wonder if those two suicide bombers when they landed in eternity thought “Oh boy, my 72 virgins” or thought “It sucks to be me”.

The initial headline would be “Two Asians dead in attack on Asian Church by WHITE MALE SUPREMACIST religious extremists.”

Then, three days later, they would dial it back to “Two Asians dead in attack on Asian Church by religious extremists.”

The toughest fate imaginable is being a Christian in a majority moslem region.

Close. It is the largest Muslim majority country on earth. India has a larger Muslim population in actual numbers, but they are still in the minority there.

I stumbled upon this video a few years ago. I find it incredibly beautiful...and powerful. If you view it make sure to engage "cc" (closed captions) for the English translation.

Apparently all other crimes are “love crimes”.

We were really stepping in it coming up with that “hate(sic)” crime totalitarian thought crime nonsense.

There should be ZERO add-one to real crimes. No special gun charges, or thought charges.
