I am from South East Asia , I know Indonesia is like. It is a country has Muslims Dominant. Before independant from the Dutch government. The christians and the muslims were leaving peacefully. After it got freedom from the Dutch govern. Islamic rule in that nation but peacefully.

The tension between the muslims majority and the minority christians started after economic meltdown in East Asia July 1997. President Suharto could not manage his country because going into bankruptcy. He stole billions of money and he need to hide his corruption but could not do so. The opposition party pressure on him to resign and to get help from the IMF. He need to declare his Swiss Bank account where he has bank in all his stolen money. Thats when the muslim started to fight with the christian minority. The muslims killed many christians and destroy thier homes and churches.

They were thought to hate the Christians by the Imam in the mosque. They think that after receiving the money from the IMF , the christians going to rule thier nation. How stupid they can be!! Not only they burned 3,000 churches but the radical muslims raped the Pastor's wife and humilate the christian woman. They even killed and torture the Priests, Nuns and all the Pastors. The police or the army did not do any thing to stop the killing and the massacred. Praise God some Christian manage to escape from brutality and torture. After 7 yrs on 24th Dec 2004 , God heard their prayers. On 25th Dec,2004, they burned and destroy 3 chuches all them Catholic churches in Aceh Province.

On 26th. Dec, 2004, the world saw Tsunami damages the whole nothern Indonesia and not only Indonesia. God's anger went further to west Malaysia, Thailand, SriLanka, far to South India and to East Africa(Somalia). The Indonesian Christians need not die in Tsunami disaster. They escape from this tragedy. What happen was ..they all run up to mountain on the 25th of Dec 2004 because the radical muslim chase them out from the ACEH PROVINCE. This is God punnishment for killing the innocents for being hatred towards the Christians. So shall coming soon of Christ to earth to defeat the Arabs the evil empire. Just I am thinking about Obama who raised from Indonesia during his childwood time. Obama should talk about what has happen to christians in Aceh, Indonesia. Wake- up USA, don't give too much face to Obama who is from muslim background. Please watch every move he makes.
