Indonesia: Muslims Protesters Attack U.S. Embassy
Islam, Religion of Embassy Attacking: Muslims Assault U.S. Embassy in Indonesia
(AP) Hundreds of Muslims protesting caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad tried to storm the U.S. Embassy on Sunday, smashing the windows of a guard post but failing to push through the gates. Several people were injured.[...]
Had they broken through the gates, I wonder if the U.S. government would have authorized the Marines to open fire on them. Because if that happens killing the bastards is the only moral thing to do.
[...]In Jakarta, about 400 people marched to the heavily fortified U.S. mission in the center of the city, behind a banner reading "We are ready to attack the enemies of the Prophet."Protesters throwing stones and brandishing wooden staves tried to break through the gates. They set fire to U.S. flags and a poster of President Bush and smashed the windows of a guard outpost before dispersing after a few minutes.
The U.S. Embassy called the attacks deplorable, describing them as acts of "thuggery."[...]
Update: A Japanese website reports the protest was organized by the Islamic Defenders Front.
