Mulyanto Nurhalim’s crime? He was suspected of proselytizing among Muslims, which is forbidden under Islamic law. In reality, the Buddhists were only bringing food to impoverished villagers. But they’re Buddhists in a majority Muslim land, and one that is rapidly discarding its former much-vaunted “moderation,” and so they have to watch themselves. “Buddhist monk threatened […]
Video from Indonesia: Muslims attack church with machetes, injure priest and several churchgoers, behead statues
Pope Francis is doubtless on his way to Yogyakarta now, to explain to these Muslims that, as he has written, “authentic Islam and the proper understanding of the Koran reject every form of violence.” They just misunderstand their own religion, you see. If the great imam Francis can explain it to the poor dears, all […]
Indonesia: Muslims push ban on gay sex, cohabitation, sex outside marriage
And remember: Indonesia is a model “moderate” Muslim nation. In any case, in a few years we will see the headline “France: Muslims push ban on gay sex, cohabitation, sex outside marriage.” In any case, you won’t hear a thing about this from gay spokesmen in the U.S. When Pamela Geller and I via AFDI […]
Indonesia: Mosque cuts down pine trees because they resembled Christmas trees
A brittle, insecure, paranoid culture, that can only survive through force and violence, and the threats of violence.

Indonesia: Christian whipped 36 times for selling alcohol and violating Sharia
Islamic apologists in the West like to compare Sharia to Jewish law and Catholic Canon Law. When was the last time you heard of anyone being whipped for violating either one of those? Sharia forbids not just the consumption of alcohol, but its sale as well. A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Verily Allah, the Exalted, […]
Islamophobia breaks out all over: Armed guards posted at Christmas church services in majority Muslim countries
Are authorities actually expecting Muslims to behave violently toward Christians? How dreadfully Islamophobic! Surely it ain’t so. After all, everyone knows it’s a Religion of Peace! Maybe officials in Egypt, Pakistan and Indonesia are expecting attacks from “right-wing extremists.” Oh wait, the “right-wing extremists” will all be inside the churches, since everyone knows that “right-wing […]
Indonesia: Muslims threaten to hunt down other Muslims for wearing Santa hats
Indonesia is “moderate.” If it weren’t, they would have killed the Santa hat-wearers with no warning. “Islamists threaten to hunt down Muslims in Santa hats after issuing a fatwa against firms that force their staff to wear Christmas clothes,” by Julian Robinson, MailOnline, December 22, 2017 (thanks to the Geller Report): Islamists have threatened to […]
Indonesia: Museum official says wax Hitler “is one of the favorite for our visitors to take selfies with”
This is “moderate” Indonesia, but they read the same Qur’an as other Muslims do, and the Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; […]
Indonesia: Islamic State raising money through WhatsApp, Twitter, Bitcoin and PayPal
First came news this week that almost 20% of high school and university students in so-called “moderate” Indonesia support the establishment of a caliphate; now there is an App to support the Islamic State in that country.

Indonesia: Nearly 20% of high school and university students support establishment of a caliphate
Nearly 20 percent of high school and university students in Indonesia support the establishment of a caliphate, a survey showed last week. That’s a fifth of the student population in a country not long ago deemed to be a model “moderate” Muslim nation. The steady rise of “a rise of a hardline, politicised Islam in […]
