Selamat Hari Pancasila – In Lombok Too?

Happy Pancasila Day, a relatively new public holiday in Indonesia, on which I commented last year…

….contemplating the meaning of the word, which is all about pluralism and brotherhood.

My observations then should still resonate with Indonesians who cherish their heritage of religious tolerance, which has been gravely undermined since last year…

Ahok

….what with the imprisonment of Jakarta’s Christian Governor Ahok for the mediaeval ‘crime’ of ‘blasphemy’- in his case merely quoting a Koranic verse during his election campaign, a quip which his largely Muslim audience at the time took in good part, but which was then seized on…

Slouching Towards Shariah, Indonesia Jails Ahok! 

….by the worst elements in the archipelago, hordes of sectarian bigots marching through Jakarta calling for the honest, pleasant man to be ‘burned.’

We even had reports of brain-washed brats squealing similarly sectarian hate-grunts.

And look who’s Jakarta Governor today!

• Governor Anies won an adoring smile from ferocious fanatic Habib Rizieq, who had suggested the Christian Governor Ahok (Anies’ predecessor)  be slain for unacceptably quoting some Koranic verse –.“We encourage the government to process the death penalty for Ahok as soon as possible,” said Rizieq.

Christ’s Ascension Day – Islamist Savages Pelt Congregation With Sewage, Urine and Rocks 

Still There! Oppressed Christians Swelter In Jakarta! 

…thanks to mean-spirited, intolerant Islamists.

And as for the peaceful and utterly harmless Ahmadi minority?Only this month, moronic savages ran amok in Lombok…

Ahmadi community comes under attack in East Lombok, as homes and properties destroyed

Over the past two days, eight homes, four motorcycles and a shop have been destroyed. “The attacks were based on similar reasons: hatred and intolerance,” said a spokesperson for the Ahmadiyah Indonesia Congregation.

“It’s not the first and definitely won’t be the last attack. It’s been years and the Ahmadi community continues to live under threats…”

Absolutely not the first time, sir.

Bigot scum in Lombok destroy Ahmadi homes -100 cops just watched – and that wasn’t this month, it was YEARS ago.

So let’s hope those poor victims in Lombok can find something to cheer about on this Pancasila Day.

Sarawak – Turkeys Delight In Creeping Shariah?

“When you allow repeated affronts, when the government allows public servants and instigators to continue to disrespect and have contempt for non-Muslims, it all feeds into the backdrop of fear we’re seeing across the country,” says Stephen, a volunteer church worker.

What does he want for Christmas? “More cheer and less fear in the New Year.” http://www.ucanews.com/news/festive-cheer-and-fear-in-malaysia/74732

That’s the tail-end of an article on how Christians in Malaysia face ever-fiercer Islamist intolerance, one of the worst examples being demands for removal of a cross  – from a church!

A mob of bigoted ignoramuses imposed their will on a small congregation because they believed the cross, one of the central symbols of Christianity, posed a challenge to Islam and could sway the faith of young people..   Malaysia orders probe after protest…

Those last half-dozen words exemplify the paranoid insecurity – deep doubts about their hold on their flock – that motivates fanatics to target Christians or even Muslim dissenters.

Malaysarabia? Unable To Refute Critics, Islamists Use Police State Jackboot! 

It’s sad to see that the incident occurred not in some benighted backwoods dump but in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s capital city.

But this month again we see news of further nasty sectarianism, the use of the country’s goods and services tax to price traditional Christmas turkey fare off the tables of ordinary Malaysians in Sarawak this festive season.

“Last year, turkey was left out because of ‘technical problems’. Now it’s left out because of supply and demand. “What will be the excuse next year?”.

You can read the whole story via the link.

But after all that’s happened in recent years, it’s a pretty clear affirmation that what we have called ‘creeping shariah’ is now trotting along at a powerful pace.

I hope Christians spare a thought for those thus discriminated against, and look to the brave people of all creeds here in Indonesia to guard against any intensification of the sectarianism we have seen on the rise in this beautiful country.
