Christian Students Forced Off Campus By Muslim Mob

Check out this news article. Indonesia's tradition of religious tolerance appears to be ending.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Christian Students Forced Off Campus By Muslim

Not surprised. There must be more radical Muslims than moderates because the moderates say nothing and do nothing

Re: Christian Students Forced Off Campus By Muslim

It's a good thing, for their own sakes, that they were a peaceful muslim mob. EVERYBODY knows that Christians are just as dangerous, if not moreso.



I knew we were in for it the SECOND I saw GWB stand up with some Muslim, shortly after 911, and announce to the American people that Islam was a religion of peace. Sell that all you want, I ain't buying.

Exactly! I get so sick of hearing how we should not stereotype Muslims as being a radical, evil, and violent religion because supposedly the vast majority of them are not.

I say the proof is in the pudding. If they want me to believe that line then peaceful Muslimes should take a stand and come out against the radical ones that are supposedly such a small minority.

Instead the silence is deafening.
