Christians Stabbed, Beaten With Plank Near Indonesia's Capital
BEKASI, Indonesia (AP) — Assailants stabbed a Christian worshiper in the stomach and pounded a minister in the head with a wooden plank as they headed to morning prayers Sunday outside Indonesia's capital. Neither of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening. No one claimed responsibility for the attacks. But suspicion immediately fell on Islamic hard-liners who have repeatedly warned members of the Batak Christian Protestant Church against worshiping on a field housing their now-shuttered church. In recent months, they have thrown shoes and water bottles at the church members, interrupted sermons with chants of "Infidels!" and "Leave Now!" and dumped piles of feces on the land. Local police Chief Imam Sugianto said Asia Sihombing, a worshiper, was on his way to the field when assailants jumped off a motorcycle and stabbed him in the stomach. The Rev. Luspida Simanjuntak was smashed in the head as she tried to come to his aid. "I was trying to help get him onto a motorcycle so we could get him to a hospital," she told reporters in the industrial city of Bekasi, 25 miles (40 kilometers) east of Jakarta. She said the face of one of the assailants looked familiar. Indonesia, a secular country of 237 million people, has more Muslims than any other in the world. Though it has a long history of religious tolerance, a small extremist fringe has become more vocal in recent years. Leading the charge against the Batak Christians has been the Islamic Defenders Front, which is pushing for the implementation of Islamic-based laws in Bekasi and other parts of the nation. They are known for smashing bars, attacking transvestites and going after those considered blasphemous with bamboo clubs and stones. They also pressured the local government early this year to shutter the Batak church. Perpetrators are rarely punished or even questioned by police. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who relies heavily on Islamic parties in parliament, has been widely criticized in the media for failing to crack down on hard-liners. But he immediately called on authorities to investigate and to hold accountable those responsible for Sunday's attack. "We know who's behind it," said Maj. Gen. Timur Pradopo, the police chief in Jakarta, without elaborating. "But I don't believe this is an inter-religous conflict."<<<<

Extremists of any kind are wrong. They take things way too far. I have been on the receiving end because extremist Christians have made people think all Christians are that way.
I have known some Muslims. They were very peaceful and kind. I'm not about to throw them in with what extremists do, because I don't like it when others do that to me. We have to answer for our actions as individuals IMO. What someone else does, doesn't mean I agree with it. BUT that is merely MY opinion. |

Like the man said, get up to speed. Bush has been out of office two years now and Muslims are decapitating people daily. Muslims are killing every day. Did you open the links and see what they are doing???? |
