The Jihad Continues...

This time in Indonesia....

A group of over 300 Islamic extremists attacked a domestic Church in the regency of Tangerang, 25 km from Jakarta on September 2nd last. The attackers gravely wounded the pastor and 6 of the faithful, circa 60 people, while they totally destroyed the community’s property. The attack took place while the faithful where gathered to celebrate Sunday service.

Jau Dolokseribu, pastor of the Protestant Churches of the Christian Synod is currently in hospital in a grave condition. According to early reports, the extremists attacked because the Christians were without permission to erect the domestic Church. In Indonesia, a complicated law governing the religions makes it very difficult for minority Churches to gain this permission, making it practically impossible for them to practice their faith.
