JAKARTA, Indonesia - Vice President Jusuf Kalla asked Muslim militants to stop closing Christian churches after Christians complained that militants had shut 23 churches in recent weeks on the island of Java.
"It is the responsibility of all of us to stop such kind of violence," he told a gathering of Muslim leaders, urging them to promote tolerance.
Moderate Muslim leaders like former President Abdurrahman Wahid have urged the government to take stern action against militants involved in the incidents.
Well, of course they're attacking churches! It's the people's fault for electing George Bush, and not passing Kyoto, and , oh wait, this is Indonesia. I'm sure this story must be false then, since Jihad just means self improvement and all terrorism is due to Bush and Israel.
