Jihad Kiddie Parade? Indonesian Officials Defend Kindergarteners with Guns
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) – Indonesian officials have defended a street parade that involved veiled kindergarteners carrying replica weapons, with police saying they will arrest the person who uploaded a video of the event to Facebook.
By Associated Press, August 21, 2018:
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) – Indonesian officials have defended a street parade that involved veiled kindergarteners carrying replica weapons, with police saying they will arrest the person who uploaded a video of the event to Facebook.
The video of children dressed head-to-toe in black marching with wooden guns has caused a sensation in Indonesia, which in May suffered one of its worst attacks in years when militants used their children as suicide bombers in the second-largest city, Surabaya.
The parade in East Java was one of thousands held across Indonesia last Friday to mark independence.
Probolinggo Police Chief Alfian Nurrizal told The Associated Press on Tuesday that police were investigating who uploaded the video. He said it may have been edited to convey the wrong impression.
“He or she did not upload the entire footage,” Nurrizal said. “There are allegations of intentionally cutting the footage for a certain purpose.” If the parade was “filmed completely since the beginning, there will be no misunderstanding,” he said.
Local media reported that Education and Culture Minister Muhajir Effendy said the parade was misinterpreted and the staff of the school, located inside a local military command, had no intention to instill radicalism in children.
It contained many elements, he said, including symbols of Muslims who struggled for Indonesia’s independence and the red and white of Indonesia’s national flag.
“It was recorded when these veiled children carried only replica guns,” he told reporters. “In fact, there were themes raised by these children, namely the struggle of Islam. Until finally this piece of video spread on social media and was very biased.”
However, the principal of the school apologized. And the head of prevention at the National Counter-Terrorism Agency said public outrage over the incident was a positive sign.
“For us, people’s reaction against such a parade was a sign of good awareness about radicalism,” Brig. Gen. Hamli told AP.
“In the past, maybe people didn’t care about these kinds of activities,” he said, “but now at least people were concerned that it was inappropriate activities for these children and they responded immediately.”Nurrizal said the provincial police’s cyber unit is helping to track down the video uploader.
After Jakarta’s minority Christian governor was convicted of blasphemy last year and imprisoned, police also prosecuted the individual who helped trigger massive street protests against the governor by posting a video online of him making offending comments.

You should have kept it Jewish!

Yeah in the form of a question. What nation has a more protective history of Jews than Israel? If you think America will always remain true to the message at the bottom of the Statue of Liberty you’ve not paid much attention to our history and currently trends.
BTW your the one who brought up that the creedo emblazoned on it came from a Jewish woman. Perhaps you’re a bit over sensitive and read more into my post than was there.

Antisemitism was an ugly fact of life in the USA. A famous Los Angeles golf course wouldn’t allow Jews to be members or Italians (as Victor Mature found out). There were hotels that had no-Jews allowed policies, but now all that might be coming back.

Indonesia could be so different today had it clung to its rich Hindu and Buddhist heritage of old. Unfortunately, it has not, and so here we are today. 🙁

Speaking of the Catholic Church…
Pope Francis Addresses Sex Abuse, Sidesteps Root Causes and Accountability
…
Furthermore, the pope’s right-hand man, Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga, has himself been embroiled in a series of scandals involving financial mismanagement and embezzlement of funds, protecting a sexually abusive bishop, and covering up a homosexual “epidemic” in his diocesan seminary.
Report: Pope Francis Tells Gay Man ‘God Made You Like This’
…
Juan Carlos Cruz, the main whistleblower in Chile’s clerical sex abuse and cover-up scandal, said Monday he spoke to Francis about his homosexuality during their recent meetings at the Vatican. The pope invited Cruz and other victims of a Chilean predator priest to discuss their cases last month.
Cruz said he told Francis how Chile’s bishops used his sexual orientation as a weapon to try to discredit him, and of the pain the personal attacks had caused him.
“He said, ‘Look Juan Carlos, the pope loves you this way. God made you like this and he loves you,’” Cruz told The Associated Press.
…
The Vatican declined to confirm or deny the remarks in keeping with its policy not to comment on the pope’s private conversations. The comments first were reported by Spain’s El Pais newspaper.
…
https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2018/05/21/report-pope-francis-tells-gay-man-god-made-you-like-this/
How can anyone follow this man? Like any other sinner he is fallible in ALL aspects of his life and proves that on a daily basis. Need I list the Bible verses that disagree with homosexuality being okay with God? Even your DNA is binary. Having children is a blessing and same sex can never have children naturally. No one is born that way. There is no gay gene. Yes they DO chose to be LBGT because of ABUSE. It can be emotional, physical or lack of a role model. A CARING person would acknowledge that and offer counseling with lots of love instead of defending the results of ABUSE. Throwing them off roof tops or hanging them is murder and not an option for a Christian or a Jew!
Many states have BANNED LBGT therapy either from a secular or a Christian perspective. Ask yourself WHY? It is because therapy works and many LBGT folks have turned their life around and went on to live healthy heterosexual lives. There is no way God would want you to have anything less or be enslaved to the LBGT lifestyle choice. We should be advocated HELP to them,

This is the “fundamental transformation” he promised and did his best to deliver for SOROS!
If you think that compound in New Mexico is the only one training kids, you are wrong.
Our FBI, CIA and many police departments are totally corrupt so it makes the job that much harder to do.
As we see more people being legally crucified for association with Trump, fewer will stand up for what is right. Are we really winning? Some days I am not sure.

A woman of Chinese ethnicity was recently convicted of blasphemy in Indonesia — after complaining to a mosque that the adhan was too loud in 2016. A complaint that touched off a pogrom against Buddhists in indonesia (spit).

There would be no economy, in indosneezia or maylayland, without the Chinese that settled there centuries ago. Those two breeds of monkeys (indosneezians and malays) are incapable of anything other than turning out ladyboys.

That is an old Muslim sympathy getter – shooting themselves in the foot.

I feel sad for the Buddhists of Bali, things are only going to be be getting worse for them. I’d suggest they raze their part of Indonesia to the ground and move to Myanmar or alternatively revolt against their muslum masters and secede from Indonesiastain.

What about the Hindus of Bali? They’re around 83% of the population. If they moved to India, there’d be just as much persecution, if not more, from the moslems.
