The Real Indonesia...Australia's Best Enemy.

Note: This report from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation is very informative, although the ABC journalists are still singing from the song book of the 'know nothing serious about islam' school of Australian journalism.

This blog has maintained that Jem'aa Islamiyya runs the religious establishment within the Indonesian government and army. Canberra 'experts' will deny this, but the facts on the ground support my contention.

This report is from Dhimmi Watch. Google it. A great site.





Christians persecuted by Muslims in Indonesia
Muslims fear persecution in Russia? Really? And even if they do, which is highly doubtful, what is that bit of information doing in a story about Christians in Indonesia? Why, it's just setting up a bit of moral equivalence, so that reporter Peter Cave can continue comfortably in his dhimmitude, theological equivalence, and moral relativism. "Yes, I'm writing about Christians being persecuted by Muslims, but you see, my headline pretends that the fault is on both sides, and I mentioned Muslims being persecuted elsewhere, so you see, I'm not being 'racist.'"

"Confrontations escalate between Indonesian Christians and Muslims," from Australia's ABC, with thanks to JE:

HAMISH ROBERTSON: While Muslims fear persecution in Russia, Christians in Indonesia believe they're facing increasing repression there.
A new decree on places of worship has just replaced an earlier ordinance promulgated in 1969, which was widely criticised as repressing minor religions in the world's largest Muslim society.

According to Indonesia's Christians, this new edict takes repression one-step further and breaches the Constitution and human rights conventions.

Our Foreign Affairs Editor, Peter Cave compiled this report in Jakarta.

PETER CAVE: The young foot soldiers of radical Islam in Indonesia. Members of the Islamic Defenders Front who have become infamous for their attempts to enforce Islamic morals in Indonesia with attacks on nightclubs, liquor stores and more recently, the offices of the newly established Playboy Magazine.

Islamic fundamentalism has risen in Indonesia along with democracy since the overthrow of the repressive Suharto regime and Christians, who constitute Indonesia's second largest religious grouping at around eight per cent compared to around 88 percent for the Muslim majority, say they're bearing the brunt.

What worries them in the new regulations is a stipulation that new places of worship must have congregations of at least 90 people and that 60 people belonging to other religions in the area must give their consent.

Minority religious groups say the old regulation was used to close down 23 churches in West Java alone over the past two years and that Muslim gangs are using the new law to attack even established churches in their communities.



Comment: Australians should not be surprised at this development. What is needed now is a halt to any migration to Australia of Indonesian muslims. Eventually Australia and Indonesia will come to blows, so we do not need to behave perpetually like Snow White gliding through the world being lovely to all and sundry, especially our enemies.

The reason we don't need to do this is because real life is not a cartoon. We are NOT facing cartoon villains among Indonesian muslims.

Isn't it about time that politicians in Canberra started to stand up...constantly... in defence of Christian communities in Indonesia? (Hint: no votes will be lost in Australia for doing this.)

Is anyone awake in Canberra?
