. . . yesterday 15 killed as well as 15 Christian churches destroyed in Nigeria, today a Christian church burned in Pakistan and a Muslim mob rampaging in Indonesia trys to overrun the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta. From the AP:

Hundreds of Muslims protesting caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad tried to storm the U.S. Embassy on Sunday, smashing the windows of a guard post but failing to push through the gates. Several people were injured.

Pakistani security forces, meanwhile, sealed off the capital of Islamabad to block a planned mass demonstration and fired tear gas and gunshots to chase off protesters. In Turkey, tens of thousands gathered in Istanbul chanting slogans against Denmark, Israel and the United States.

Protests over the cartoons, which first appeared in a Danish newspaper in September and have been republished in other European publications and elsewhere, have swept across the Muslim world, growing into mass outlets for rage against the West in general, and Israel and the United States in particular.

Christians also have become targets. Pakistani Muslims protesting in the southern city of Sukkur ransacked and burned a church Sunday after hearing accusations that a Christian man had burned pages of the Quran, Islam’s holy book.

That incident came a day after Muslims protesting in the Nigerian city of Maiduguri attacked Christians and burned 15 churches in a three-hour rampage that killed at least 15 people. Some 30 other people have died during protests over the cartoons that erupted about three weeks ago.

In Jakarta, about 400 people marched to the heavily fortified U.S. mission in the center of the city, behind a banner reading “We are ready to attack the enemies of the Prophet.”

Protesters throwing stones and brandishing wooden staves tried to break through the gates. They set fire to U.S. flags and a poster of President Bush and smashed the windows of a guard outpost before dispersing after a few minutes.

This is getting far too out of control — attacking embassies are acts of war — but I doubt that those doing the raging have any idea — but those inciting the violence most certainly do. What moderate Islam doesn’t seem to understand is that radical Islam has not only declared war on the West, but is already fighting us on multiple fronts.

If you are a Muslim and believe Islam is a religion of peace, you better get your house in order, and soon — time is running out. Your radical, non-peaceful brethren are hell-bent on making your voices non-existent as they steamroll their way toward their own nightmarish vision of world-wide totalitarianism. (db)
