Indonesia: City outside of capital bans “sexy” advertising in mission to become “a religious city”
Creeping Sharia, just outside of Jakarta. Customers wield immense power where advertising is concerned, and may always vote with their pocketbooks where it crosses lines of decency or stupidity. Wouldn’t it be more impressive than a ban if pious residents of Depok took their business elsewhere en masse? That would achieve a more lasting social […]
Indonesia: Mayor blocks all access roads to church, in defiance of court order
This is the same mayor who earlier decided that churches can’t be built on streets with “Islamic” names. How higher levels of government respond to this latest escalation will determine whether we see more officials like Mayor Budiarto emerge in Indonesia. Behavior that is rewarded by inaction is likely to be repeated and intensified, as […]
Texas Misunderstander of Islam guilty in plot to aid al-Qaeda

Cantoni): Algiers (AKI) – The […]
Indonesia: Muslim violence against religious minorities “relentless”
When even the reliably dhimmi Time Magazine notices Muslim intolerance and persecution of people of other faiths (and “heretical” Muslims like the Ahmadis), you know the situation has gotten very bad in modern, moderate Indonesia. “The Other Indonesia,” by Emily Rauhala in Time Magazine, November 21: […] A key measure of the level of justice […]
Indonesia selling Sharia-compliant Islamic bonds today
Sharia-compliant Islamic bonds. The means compliant not just with Sharia’s rejection of interest, but with its denial of the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, and the equality of rights of women and non-Muslims. So the posters above can kick off the ad campaign. “Indonesia to Sell Seven-Year Global Islamic Bonds Today,” by Elffie […]

“Batman” artist Frank Miller to #Occupy mobs: “Wake up, pond scum. America is at war against a ruthless enemy.”
