“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)
“Muslims with Machete, Club Halt Worship in Indonesia,” Morning Star News, September 5, 2023:
SURABAYA, Indonesia (Morning Star News) – A machete-wielding Muslim threatened to kill members of a house church in Indonesia as he and family members on Aug. 29 broke up a worship service, sources said.
In West Sumatra Province, the Sola Gratia congregation of Bethel Indonesia Church (Gereja Bethel Indonesia, or GBI) was meeting the evening of Aug. 29 in a rented house in Jalan Banuaran, Banuaran Nan XX village, Lubuk Begalung Sub-District, in Padang, when a Muslim woman broke the home’s windows with stones and told those inside to stop worshiping, the church pastor said.
Pastor Hiatani Ziduhu Hia told outlet radarsumbar.com that the woman claimed she was the owner of the house in the attack at about 8:35 p.m.
Later the woman’s husband came to the house with a machete, accompanied by another man with a wooden club. Brandishing the machete, the Muslim shouted at the congregation that he was going to cut their throats into pieces and told them to stop worshiping, Pastor Hiatani reportedly said.
“We continued to pray,” the pastor told radarsumbar.com., adding that the husband later returned and continued demanding that they cease worship.
“We stayed calm, trying to explain the situation to them,” Pastor Hiatani said. “But they didn’t pay attention to us.”
The woman, later identified as relative of the landlord, claimed that the church could not worship in “her home,” the pastor said.
“We know that the owner of the house is not her, because we pay someone else,” Pastor Hiatani said. “Those who receive our money also know that we occasionally use the place for worship. The head of the neighborhood already knows about our activities. As for the perpetrators, we know that they are the relatives of the house owners, not the house owner.”
The house tenant, Juni Anton Zai, told BBC News Indonesia that 20 congregation members were holding a worship service when they heard the screaming woman approach from the backyard and break the windows.
“We were shocked, and our worship was dismissed,” Juni told BBC News. “My son was shocked. The mother screamed, and we canceled our worship.”…
Juni offered to sit down and discuss the matter calmly, but they refused, he said.
“Instead of having a nice talk, they threatened us,” Juni said. “His younger brother was also carrying a machete; he scared us. After that, his younger brother came. He came bringing a wooden club. He wanted to hit my little brother, who was sitting on the motorbike.”…

Mr Pope Francis is committed to dialogue with the Islamic leaders, but that idea is heretical to the Muslims! How can you have a dialogue with only one participant, whilst the other cries Haram!
How can you find common ground between those who know that they have been saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, and those who only know self righteousness and violence?
How can Indonesia find it’s own way to a peaceful Islam, which is not supported by the Qur’an or other Islamic scripture?

as an Ex muslim I confirm that there are no commn ground whatsoever between Islam and any other religion, period. all islamic litterature should be denounced as evil work or satanic religion.
Surat Attawba is the prime example of the nature of Islam.

The owner should charge the mozlum female window-breaker for the cost of the repairs.
Besides breaking property which did not belong to her, she is a big liar…as per mozlum protocol.
Control through threats and violence.
mozlums throw a hissy fit if a copy of their book of demon filth is not respected; yet, they are such hypocrites that they barge in on others, demanding their way or no way, and then see themselves as pious. And they are pious, but in the worship of all things evil.
This will likely be just a beginning for these Christians. “Stand firm in faith, grow mighty, carry on as men.”

Why have moslem been getting away with these atrocities foe centuries?
Because we are letting them

Bingo!
This is a war, I didn’t start it or declare it, Muslims did.
In war either you fight, flee or you’re enslaved or killed.
Time for non-Muslims to get militant, unite and talk about reviving Crusade, Deus Vault and all that jazz.
Arm Christians and other non-Muslims in these nations…go on the offense.
Global war is inevitable against Muslims…you can bet if people start fighting back, loads of Muslims will want to join in the fray…just like they did in Syria.
They’re dumber than a sack of hammers…so it’d be easy to lure them into a battle and end them.
The trouble is that western leaders are too busy cutting deals with their leaders and placating them to realize we should be working to defeat them instead.

West Sumatera province was probably the first place in Indonesia where the muslims were trying to implement shariah law by killing and raping their own people and also their neighbor tribe in the early 19th century. Islam makes its followers to kill their own people and other people too.
OLD GUY says
Go try that at a local mosque and the infidel’s police will arrest you and charge you with a hate crime. BUT be a MUSLIM and it’s no news or a crime just a misunderstanding by the Christians with regard to the poor muslim mentally challenged young man.
