Indonesian Christians’ Plight Escalates!

| Tolerant Islam? I don't think so! |
Bags of urine hurled by a mob of 600 Muslims at Christians attempting to attend a church service is the latest in a series of disgusting acts of degradation and violence perpetrated by Indonesia’s growing Islamist movement. The Muslim mob was led by members of Indonesia’s Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), a militant Islamist group that has been directly involved in 34 of the 54 documented acts of violence and destruction against Christians and Church property since 2012. In an increasingly violent campaign launched against Indonesia’s religious minorities, the 30,000-strong FPI spearheads a growing cadre of militant Islamist groups whose ranks include the Islamic Defenders Legion (LPI), an FPI affiliate; the Indonesian Mujahideen Council (MMI); and Kokam, the youth wing of Muhammadiyah.
It should be noted that the “church” at which the HKBP congregants were headed to pray when attacked is in actuality an empty parking lot; a venue of worship necessitated by the local Bekasi government’s refusal since 2009 to allow HKBP members to build and occupy an actual church.(C) Frank Crimi (Photo:Copyright Control)
Can you imagine the outcry from Muslims if we in the west refused them permission to build a mosque?
