    Islamic extremists attack Catholics reciting rosary

    The attack took place on 11 October in a private house. Armed men broke in and threatened to burn the place down if the prayer went ahead. Fears are rising about further violence against Indonesian believers.

    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.

    For Catholics all over the world, including those in Indonesia, October and May are months dedicated especially to the Virgin Mary. In Indonesia, believers manifest their faith by undertaking pilgrimages to the country’s Marian shrines and by reciting the rosary in parishes.

    Meeting to recite the rosary together, better known as Doa R

    since he wont answer that 03..how bout I give it a shot with my new Ms Cleo machine.

    Maybe if he shows us enough examples of bad Muslim behavior, public support for his good buddy Dubya's ill-conceived war will increase.

    resisting urge to insert series of rolleyes here...

    Please do not confuse milk with grape juice.

    About the article. If you are going to pull out an article to slader something, atleast do it from an independent site with a little more credibilty. You did not need to pull that random one with some random dudes barraging into some random house from that site. You might as well have linked the whole site. It's a missionary site. I perused thru some of the stuff and the amount of misinformation over there is staggering.

    Do you have any information that would prove that this did not happen? The thing is, I have a zillion more incidents, even if this one didn't happen.

    I have decided not to explain myself on why I am posting these things. This is because I no longer have even a scintilla of respect for the moonbats on this forum.

    You know.....you lose whatever credibility you had with claims like this. But I can see why it would not bother you, since you never had any to begin with.

    OK, I'll ask once again, what specific evidence do you have that the story is not true? If you are unable to provide this, you must concede defeat.

    You no longer have a scintilla of respect for the moonbats on this forum, yet you come to the very moonbats on this forum to post your "information."

    Interesting....

    For someone who posts 18 articles a day and runs away, you sure do talk a big game.

    Sorry bud, I cant help you with your comprehension skills.

    I can sort of see how you would consider all the posters here "moonbats" if you cant comprehend what they have to say.

    So, you don't deny it happened, you just don't like the site where the info came from.

    Zillion was, of course, hyperbole. Would you deny that there have been thousands of people killed by Muslims extremists in the last 5 years?

    And how is it hatred if the articles are true?

    Little boy? Okay...

    If you aren't running away, then post an article, analyze it, and debate with the "moonbats" here. If you post an article and then refuse to explain your motivation behind posting said article, then that's called running away. I have yet to see you analyze a single article you post. That's called running away. I have yet to see your opinion on a single article that you post. That's called running away.

    We have a lot of opinions on this board. There are a lot of people that I agree with, and some that I don't. However, I respect those people that I don't agree with because they see things a certain way and they let their opinions be known. However grotesque their opinions might be to me, I have no choice but to respect them because they stick to an opinion and they defend that opinion. You seem to be the only person that refuses to post an opinion or engage in debate. I see a multitude of articles from you and I don't know what the hell you stand for. Apparently no one else does either because everyone here asks you the same questions I do.

    You my friend need to grow up. Little boy...that's hilarious.
