Indonesia: Catholics Praying the Rosary Attacked by Muslims
In honor of Dean Esmay, who came earlier today to dispense his self-righteous ignorance upon us, we showcase the Islamic tolerance present in one of his democratic Islamic countries: Islamic extremists attack Catholics reciting rosary
Jakarta (AsiaNews) - A group composed of Islamic extremists attacked Catholics praying the rosary on 11 October and threatened to burn down the house they were gathered in. The assailants, who claimed to be part of the Islamic Defender Front (Front Pembela Islam, FPI), invaded the house of one of the Catholic community belonging to the parish of Christ Salvator in western Jakarta.The men forced the marian prayer to stop immediately, threatening to burn the place down. They forced all those present including the Ketua Lingkungan (informal parish leader - ed. note) to sign a declaration that they will not hold any more rosary gatherings in houses in the area.
The attack has fuelled fears and apprehension among Indonesian Catholics who fear further possible hostile moves from the FPI. The front is also behind the closure of 24 home-churches in western Java.
Why does the FPI wants to close home-churches? Because, dear readers, Islamic Doctrine forbids "infidels" building new places of worship or repairing old ones. Islamic tolerance indeed.
