Even when the locals supported it's building...
interesting how such a horrible action as this forced Muslims to physically attack Christians.
Quote:
A heated debate accompanied by a surge of violence hit Indonesia last week after a congregation of Christians announced its intentions to build a church in the city of Bekasi.
As calls to stop the “Islamization” of America resonated in the United States in protest to building an Islamic center near Ground Zero, similar initiatives were launched to stop the “Christianization” of Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim country.
The protests came after a small Christian group in Bekasi, West Java, announced the construction of a church. The group, an Arab news channel reported, obtained the necessary signatures from local residents.
The announcement triggered a wave of violence by Islamist vigilantes who call themselves the Islamic Defenders’ Front, also known as FPI, rallied in Bekasi and called upon the residents to withdraw their approvals.
The rally turned violent as two leaders of the Christian congregation were critically wounded, a church elder was stabbed in the stomach, and a female priest was hit on the head with a plank.
That's not right. We are so fortunate to be living in a country where the freedom of religious worship is protected and it is a good thing we don't oppress religious minorities in the US (no matter how badly some want to).
And what does something that occurs on a different continent have to do with the US? Except that you promote the US denying the same rights to others in this country.

Do you see the irony?
Probably not.
Do you liberals ever get sick and tired of only expecting tolerance to be a one way street?
I constantly here that we in the west have to tolerate and understand muslims, while I NEVER hear that about the muslim world for non muslims, and the "oppression" muslims "suffer" in the west are PEANUTS compared to what non muslims suffer in the muslim world.
