Indonesian police shot and wounded a man who attacked a church congregation with a sword during Sunday Mass
By Afp and Monica O’shea For Daily Mail Australia, 11 February 2018:
Indonesian police shot and wounded a man who attacked a church congregation with a sword during Sunday Mass, seriously injuring four people including a priest and destroying Christian imagery.
Around 100 people were attending the service in the town of Sleman in Yogyakarta province on Java island when a man barged in wielding a one-metre-long sword and began attacking terror-stricken people, seemingly indiscriminately.
“Four people have been injured in the incident — quite seriously — but we still cannot determine the perpetrator’s motive,” Yogyakarta police spokesman Yulianto told AFP.

Extremists in the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country have mounted a series of attacks against Christians and other minorities.
A few minutes after the service started, a congregation member ran into the church with a bleeding head chased by a young man holding a sharp weapon, said worshipper Andhi Cahyo.
“Everybody started panicking and screaming. I was scrambling to save my wife and children,” Cahyo told AFP.
People fled through another door as the attacker ran amok inside the church.

He destroyed some books and a Virgin Mary statue with his sword, said Cahyo, and attacked 81-year-German priest Edmund Prier who was standing at the altar.
Prier, who has been living in Indonesia for decades, is now an Indonesian citizen.
Police arrived soon after the attack and fired a warning shot but the attacker refused to surrender.

“After the warning shot was fired, the attacker charged towards the officer with his sword. The officer then shot him below his stomach, but he managed to injure the cop before being subdued,” Cahyo said.
All victims have been taken to hospital for treatment. Police said the man was a university student in his early 20s but could not confirm if the incident was related to terrorism.
“For now we cannot conclude this is related to terrorism. We need to dig out more details and question the perpetrator,” said spokesman Yulianto.

The man was currently being treated at Bhayangkara hospital and could not questioned, Yulianto said.
Indonesia is home to significant numbers of Christians, Hindus and Buddhists.
In 2016 several children were injured after a man threw Molotov cocktails at a church during a Sunday service.
On Christmas Eve 2000 the Al-Qaeda-linked group staged coordinated bombings of churches in and eight other cities which killed 18 people and injured many more.

Of course it was not related to terrorism, the obligatory “alla fubar” was not chanted. It is the fault of Christians for getting in the way when someone brings a sword to church to exorcise demons.

And here in the United States, we can’t be armed in church. I think we all have the antidote for that.

The all muslum police force in Indonesia (spit) can’t figure out the motive for attacking Christians and trying to kill them eh?
What was the motivation for the Indonesian genocide of 200,000 to 800,000 assorted kafir (mostly Catholic) in E. Timor in the 1970’s? Muslum outreach?

Targeting aging priests and Christians attending Mass seems to be a initiation ritual for these jihadi groups in Muslim countries. Sad to think churches in these places need to have armed guards just like the Israeli’s to protect innocents.
Nit picking: that statue is not of the Virgin Mary but of Jesus along with the Sacred Heart, a very Catholic symbol.

Usually those kinds of attacks on Muslims are perpetrated by fellow malicious Muslims who also stage hate crimes that in most cases are revealed to be fake in order to turn the tables in the media.

Those incidents for which non-muslim perpetrators are sentenced to far harsher penalties than are their moslem counterparts by a lily-livered judiciary?

Just as Islamic terrorists are sane and deliberate people while Westeners who target mosque attendees are sick people who need to be accommodated separately from the jihadis who butalise them in prisons and carve E4E into their foreheads.

firstly; it is not in the mandate of Christ to do these things.. it IS in the quranic mandate.. and the the preponderance of the horrors of jihad are multiples of thousands tearly and in levels of terror.

Meanwhile, our shepherd fawns and giggles over everything Muslim and invites them into Europe to loot and rape. This is the Church that defeated the great Turkish fleet at Lepanto but this also the church that returned, under Pope Paul VI the glorious banner won at that battle as a gesture of ‘nice’. It is a Quranic banner with the ‘victory’ verse on it that had hung proudly at the sepulchre of Pope Paul V. They say Erdogan treasures this antique banner and will fly it over Rome one day which I don’t doubt.

They are definitely the deplorables and this has been going on for thousands of years they’re not redeemable unfortunately we are going to have to eliminate them and get a lot more proactive that’s the only way they’ll stop they need to be held accountable for their crimes and they need to be punished severely to the extent of the law if that means hanging so be it

Wherever Islam meets Christianity, there is bloodshed. The two belief systems are intrinsically incompatible with one another.

and the silence of the eternally “politically correct” MORONS in Western Europe and other parts of the “civilized” (???) world is deafening…as usual.
Frankly, those idiots have no shame, no self-respect, no morals. Their “ideology” is far more important to them than an ounce of humanity.
When they realize that left wing sympathies are severely punished in islamic countries, when the “feminists” lose all their women rights and are forced to stay at home, wear burkas or chadors in stead of jeans or the garments they still may wear in the west, when the morons will be whipped with 120 lashes for drinking beer, wine or whisky…it will be too late for them. They can expect no sympathy from me.
