Again: Indonesian Muslims Bomb Christain Market, Killing Seven
I'm beginning to doubt their committment to Sparkle Motion The Religion of Peace (TM):
A bomb packed with nails exploded in a crowded Christian market selling pork ahead of New Year celebrations in eastern Indonesia on Saturday, killing at least seven people and wounding 53, police said.
The early morning blast in Palu, capital of volatile Central Sulawesi province, came after warnings of militant violence during the Christmas and New Year season in Indonesia. But it appeared to be linked to regional tensions, not international Islamic militancy.
Oh, well, that's a relief. It's just a local embrace of the Murder Cult, not an international one.
Indonesia is predominantly Muslim but its east has large pockets of Christians, to whom pork is not forbidden.
...
"This was probably extremists because they targeted a part of a market that was selling pork, which would seem to indicate sectarian violence between the religions. Or an attempt at least to spark sectarian violence," he said.
Great. Now they're killing over entrees.
