We mentioned one of three events scheduled for tomorrow just a few days ago, the ‘prayer-rally’ organised by Islamist fanatics.

(The National Movement to Safeguard the Indonesian Ulema Council’s Fatwa (GNPF-MUI) members, including the Islam Defenders Front (FPI), the Muslim People’s Forum (FUI)

Typical peace-loving FPI out for a weekend stroll

FUI does not mince its words either

Check out (via our Search box) both the FPI and the FUI – they are NOT the sort of people most of us would wish to encounter!

AND…

There are AT LEAST two other crowd-scenes, pre-election rallies by supporters of Ahok and of Agus Yudhoyono.

Even if no mayhem breaks out anywhere, the normally hellish Jakarta traffic will become horrendous.

Stay home tomorrow.

After all, next Wednesday, Election Day, has been declared a public holiday.

So you can go out and do your ‘weekend’ shopping then.

PS

Ooops, almost out of coffee- best get out to the nearest mini-mart this morning, despite the rain!
