Muslims Storm Christian School In Jakarta, 265 Injured

A Beslan which, thankfully, has no deaths.

There are no limits to the pit of hell, and there are no limits to how far down Muslims will explore that pit.

From Asia News:


Over the week-end Muslim fanatics target a Christian school in the capital’s east side. Police evacuate the institute to protect students. Hundreds of police agents are now guarding it to prevent further violence.

Jakarta (AsiaNews) – Police evacuated the Christian Theological Arastamar Institute (STT SETIA) which is located in an eastern district of the Indonesian capital after it suffered damages during clashes between Christians and Muslims over the week-end.

At least 1,500 students were moved to nearby police headquarters and a local Christian-based political party. The situation remains critical and further violence between opposite factions cannot be ruled out.

“The school foundation urged us to intervene to protect people,” said East Jakarta District Police Chief Senior Superintendent. “For this reason we moved everyone out.”

Last night hundreds of residents from the village of Kampung Pulo had taken up arms threatening to storm the school after being instigated by an imam at a local mosque who claimed that a bunch of Christian gangsters were coming to “protect” the school after it was attacked on Saturday by a Muslim mob, causing damage to the building and hurting hundreds.

“Many students suffered various injuries to the head. Others were burnt by Molotov cocktails,” Manafe said.

Christian leaders - world-wide- where are you?
We don't HEAR you.

Another 'widely' reported story.
If I actually emailed the stories from around the world we see everyday to all the people I know who will vote for Obama, they would think I was making it all up.

We don't exist in the press, except as bad press, and only in the minds of Law & Order perverts who believe we are the perpetrators of such carnage.
That the church as a whole in this country is silent is changing, though. True, the more liberal churches won't refer to it at all, but would rather wax all ecumenical with the persecutors, but I have seen great activity, thanks to the internet, in the non denominational churches, and the conservative mainline churches, too, like PCA and some Baptist.

Christian Soldier,
My Pastor seems to ignore this stuff. Once in a great while we talk about China.

Once he brought up Sudan. I pointed out later that the problem in Sudan was Jihad. He said, "That's part of the problem." He said he'd do a thing on it in coming months.

Still waiting.

The mainstream media will not cover these stories, and we'd might as well get used to that fact. After all, if they address stories such as these, the audience will want to know "Why?" and the ideology of the Koran and the Hadith will have to be addressed or will be ferreted out.

God help us. Spectacular attacks such as 9/11 and Beslan cannot be ignored. But "lesser" attacks will continued to be ignored.

It's damned depressing.

pastorius-the "Black Regiment" (pastors) of the American Revolution no longer exist-
The Christian leadership in the U.S. has become weak and they think small (the tiny pie theory).
It will be up to us .....

Christian Soldier,
I have put the following question to both of my Pastors:

If Iran accomplishes what they say they want to accomplish (wiping Israel off the map), how will you feel about the fact that the Christian Church will have done less to prevent the second Holocaust, then we did to stop the first one?

I rec'd blank faces, and no answer from either Pastor.

To them, apparently, I am a nut.

You just don't know the pastors I know. A pastor (best friend) packs heat everywhere he goes (even behind the pulpit) and is no friend of islam.

They are few and far between (except maybe here in the South) but they are still out there.

Yeah, I don't know any Pastors like that.
