“This action is certainly retaliation for our enemies–the allies of Satan–who brutally murdered and executed our mujahidin brothers and put them into the hands of police. We are mentally and spiritually prepared to defend our holy religion. This holy bomb blast is intentionally designed to kill you–all infidels. We will hunt you down, even if […]
Women caned for selling food during Ramadan in modern, moderate Indonesia
A moderate caning Wednesday night I participated in what turned out to be a jihad whitewashing circus hosted by Christiane Amanpour on ABC. It was part of the “This Week” show and will run at 11AM Eastern on Sunday morning, but I will not be watching, as Amanpour was energetically carrying water for the Islamic […]
American to appear in court on charges of blaspheming Islam in modern, moderate Indonesia
Just in case you thought these kinds of cases couldn’t get any more absurd, Luke is accused of “unpleasant conduct,” in addition to blasphemy, because he is supposed to have unplugged and damaged a microphone used for Qur’an recitation in a mosque. He denies it. The justification for the blasphemy charge itself, meanwhile, remains “unclear.” […]
New York Times equates SIOA with murderous Indonesian jihadists
Was anyone stabbed at the SIOA rally? Anyone hit on the head with a plank? Anyone threatened and now in hiding? Did any of the speakers call for “war”?

Indonesian president glosses over violence against Christians denied the right to worship even in an open field
Christians in Bekasi, as in other parts of Indonesia, have been unable to secure a place of worship due to a permit system in the country that stacks the deck against non-Muslims.

Why isn’t anyone calling upon the Indonesian Islamic authorities to make stronger efforts to ensure that the adherents of the Religion of Peace don’t misunderstand it so drastically as to think that attacking Christians could be justified? Don’t they realize they’re just going to provoke […]

Indonesian Islamic supremacists threaten retaliation for Florida Qur’an-burning
This church’s plan to burn the Qur’an on September 11 is stupid; I disapprove of it and of many other things about the pastor, the church, and the church’s approach to the jihad threat. I don’t support the burning of books; it’s tactically stupid, as it will make the mainstream media portray the church as […]
“It’s an obligation for all Muslims to fully apply the sharia. I’m here to make sure that happens.”
Sounds as if Mochammad Achwan is some kind of Islamophobe. “Terrorist vows war on Indonesian police,” from AFP, August 27: A convicted terrorist who took over the leadership of an Indonesian Islamist group after the arrest of patriarch Abu Bakar Bashir vowed on Friday to wage violent jihad against the police.

“The Batak Christians deserve to be stabbed to death”: Indonesian Muslims terrorize Christians as children shout “Allahu Akbar”
More on this recent incident, along with the Islamic Defenders Front’s persecution of Ahmadi Muslims in the days leading up to Ramadan.
