#1 Thousands of Muslim extremists attacked a Christian educational center in Bogor regency, West Java province, Indonesia.

Thousands of extremists? Or thousands of run-of-the-mill muslims? If they were extremists, they must have had to bus them in from hundreds of miles around because surely that many couldn't have walked in.

#2 Just guessing, but the population in the area is probably about 15% fundamentalist Islamists -- with quite a number of those willing to be extremist, and I'd wager about 15% Christian -- wanting to not be targeted (a much higher percentage of the population than the government cares to admit). The other some 70% are virtually all nominal Muslim (and a sliver of other religions), not wanting to take sides, but wanting the extremists to somehow stop misbehaving. The central government is pretty active hunting down terrorists, but has been lax about interfering in "local" bullying and intimidation of Christians.

#4 Residents set fire to at least two cars and six buildings under construction. Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) Cisarua branch head Rahmatulloh said:

"Weve asked the regent of Bogor to close down this place but he has not given us an answer. We just cant hold back our anger anymore."

#7 You know how to tell if a Muslim is enraged?

All the dead Christians around him.

#8 Oh the irony. Wiki says one of Bogor's "sister cities" is St. Louis!

Anyone know if a muslim "representative" has yet requested that St. Louis be renamed?

Then again, Louis ultimately lost his campaign along the Nile, paid his ransom, and returned home, so perhaps he needn't be further reduced.
