Taking lessons from Malaysian extremists

BosNewsLife: Islamists Burn, Loot Algerian Church

Islamists burned and looted a Protestant church in northern Algeria in an attack that was fueled by violence against Christians elsewhere in the Muslim and Arab world, church officials said Monday, January 11.

The Pentecostal oriented Tafat Church, which is located in an apartment block in the city of Tizi Ouzou some 100 kilometers (62 miles) east of the capital Algiers, was reportedly ransacked and set ablaze on Saturday night, January 9.

“They even attacked the cross of Jesus, which was torn and burned,” church pastor Mustapha Krireche told Algerian media.

Comment: I think it is a mistake to generalize these isolated attacks as a global pattern of violence and vandalism against Christians, even though Churches in Malaysia continue to be attacked for the “Allah” controversy.

I do anticipate an escalation in mistrust as more discriminatory policies like the ban on minarets continue to be implemented across Europe.
