Bogor's mayor has a new reason not to allow the Yasmin church to open: the name of the street on which it is built bears an Islamic name.

Who would want to build a church on a street named after a minion of Satan?
More evidence that Christianity and Islam do not mix. Best to keep them out of our country. Right, Barack?
The gates of hell won't prevail against The Church. Neither will a street name.
Tolerance is a trademark of islam. /s
I’m from Louisville Kentucky the hometown of Muhammad Ali. To honor one of Louisville’s famous citizens they changed the name of Walnut Street to Muhammad Ali Blvd. Now it just so happens that there was a rather large Baptist Church named, you guessed it, The Walnut Street Baptist Church. As a Catholic accostomed to churches named after saints and holy body parts, and no knowledge of how Baptists chose names for their churches, I’ve speculated that it would be amusing if they would have to change the name of the church to the Muhammad Ali Blvd Baptist Church.

My parents used to live near what in the last 25 years has grown to be a rural version of a Baptist mega-church. Every time I visited, it seemed the church had doubled in size, put up a huge new sign, added more parking lot, built another wing, opened a school, erected a new sanctuary, paved several more acres across the street....
We are not Baptist. Perhaps if we were, we might understand the name: the Mud Creek Baptist Church.
Yes, many Baptist churches use local place names for the church name. Yes, there is a real Mud Creek somewhere nearby. Yes, the church is more than 200 years old.
But even 200 years ago, who would name a church that?
LOL! Then perhaps no mosques should be built in cities or on streets with Christian or saints names!
San Francisco comes to mind immediately, followed by Los Angeles, of course!
No mosques in Mary-land either! LOL!
