Christian Theology Students Forced off Campus by Mob of Islamic Hard-liners

Tell Obama to go and negotiate with these peace loving Muslims, in a secualr, allegedly religiously tolerant nation, where even their President fears to upset the Muslim terorists.

JAKARTA, Indonesia — Hundreds of Christian theology students have been living in tents since a mob of angry Muslim neighbors stormed their campus last month wielding bamboo spears and hurling Molotov cocktails.

The incident comes amid growing concern that Indonesia’s tradition of religious tolerance is under threat from Islamic hard-liners.

In talks since the attack, the Arastamar Evangelical School of Theology has reluctantly agreed to shut its 20-year-old campus in east Jakarta, accepting an offer this week to move to a small office building on the other side of the Indonesian capital.

“Why should we be forced from our house while our attackers can walk freely?” asked the Rev. Matheus Mangentang, chairman of the 1,400-student school.

The government of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, which relies on the support of Islamic parties in Parliament, is struggling to balance deep Islamic traditions and a secular constitution. With elections coming next April, the government seems unwilling to defend religious minorities, lest it be portrayed as anti-Islamic in what is the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country.

Islam is not now, it never has been and never will be tolerant of infidels, reserving their most virulent hatred for Jews and running a close second are Christians. The only thing they understand is force, not that even force will stop their attacks on all infidels, just that it will reduce the frequency and severity of such attacks. There is NO meaningful negotiations nor any peaceful coexistence with Islam!
