Imagine the outcry if the roles were reversed, which they would not be and should not be. But you won’t hear anything about this except here.
“Muslim Family Disrupts Christian Worship in Indonesia,” Morning Star News, May 13, 2024:
SURABAYA, Indonesia (Morning Star News) – A local official and his Muslim family last week disrupted house church worship in an area of Java island, Indonesia where it has never happened before.
In East Java Province’s Betiting village, in Cerme Sub-Regency of Gresik Regency, the head of the citizen association (Ketua Rukun Warga, or RW) in the Benowo area along with his wife and son on Wednesday (May 8) stood outside a house church at about 7 p.m. shouting for the 30 members to stop worshiping, according to video footage and news reports.
One of the worshippers, identified only as Gabriella, said the father, mother and their son came to the house screaming, yelling and calling them bad names as they demanded the worship stop, according to news outlet Infogresik in a story by Akurat.co. The West Indonesia Protestant Church (Gereja Protestan di Indonesia Bagian Barat, or GPIB) congregation meeting at the house in Cerme Indah Real Estate, Block P/36 RT 11 RW 03, halted their service.
“They came shouting at us to stop worship,” Gabriella said. “The situation attracted residents to come, including the head of RT 11, who tried to calm the situation down.”
The worship was not loud and has been taking place regularly without incident for 10 years, she said.
In a video of the altercation posted on social media, the narrator identifies the citizen association head as Yayak Hari Subagio.
“In video footage, a family was seen immediately disturbing the activity of GPIB members in Benowo,” the narrator states. “A family, Yayak Hari Subagio and his wife Yayik Susilowati, a public servant at the Cerme 1 Public High School, with their son started yelling. The situation attracted the attention of the residents. They tried to calm the situation down.”
The narrator states that 30 members of the house church were worshipping as the family outside yelled at them, demanding they to stop the service….

Surabaya ; the birthplace of my father ( 1929 ) . I’m not amazed ; we know islam’s intolerance for non-muslims ……( and even for muslims of “the wrong kind”.). I’m very proud of my ancestors ( Orang Belanda Hitam ) fighting muslims/islam during the Atjeh wars ( Sumatra ) . They knew how to deal with them !

This is the latest ‘inspirational’ video produced by the Palestinian Authority.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think this could produce a strong backlash in Western countries. I’ve had my fill of Virtual Signaling from the Rich Kid colleges.

The Danish government has made use of the phrase “From the river (in the East) to the sea (in the West)” a criminal offence. This P.A. song uses the phrase “From Haifa (in the North) to the Negev (in the South)”.

Kinda sounds like another call for Genocide doesn’t it ???

The Danish government, or the Dutch government, or both? I thought it was only the Dutch government?

Islam is primarily a Deen, a totalitarian model of society based on terror, subjugation and humiliation.of its members who are to be killed should they decide not to be part of it, for example because its commands conflict with the laws of all civilised societies.
Only thereafter it is a religion.
As a peg for such assumption it claims to be Abrahamic in spite of the fact that there is no evidence of any connection between Ishmael and Muhammad. If you claim there is that makes Muhammad a liar, because he clearly stated that his parents were pagan and were spending their time burning in hell.
The gullible people, Mr Pope included buy this unsubstantiated claim
With the recognition of Islam as a religion they make blasphemic use of the people of the Bible and degrade our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ a mere prophet (who surprisingly as a child made doves out of clay and blew life into them to make them fly), but if course he was an ordinary man, who didn’t die for our sins, which is in conflict with Islamic self-righteousmess.
The Muslims are pressing for blasphemy laws but in case we get such laws it will be the Christians who will fall victim unless they start a court case first to have Islam outlawed for blasphemy and for its commands which violate the laws of civilised nations.
