Jakarta, Indonesia (CNN) -- Three Christian churches in Indonesia were destroyed by an angry mob during clashes with police Tuesday that erupted after a local court handed down a verdict against a Christian man accused of blasphemy against Islam, authorities said.
The man was given a five-year sentence, said national police spokesman Col. Boy Rafli Amar, but the protesters wanted him to face a stiffer penalty.
The destroyed churches were in Temanggung, Central Java, Amar said. "The scene is now under police control," he said. "It's calm but security is high.
The attacks were the second violent incident against minority religious groups in Indonesia in the past three days. On Sunday, a mob of about 1,000 people, wielding knives and stones, attacked about 25 members of the Muslim minority sect, Ahmadiyah, in Cikeusik village in West Java's Banten province. Three people were killed and six others injured. The crowd opposed the presence of the Ahmadiyah in the village and demanded the group stop its activities.
Right wing America stood by and watched Christian churches in Iraq torched. Why does it matter in a country we never invaded and unimportant in a country we invaded?

Not to the Iraqi Christians whose population mysteriously declined by about a million after we "liberated" them and made Islam the "National Religion" in Iraq. "Good job Brownie".

This doesn't sound very peaceful to me. I do hope those who committed the crimes are arrested and brought to justice but I guess we'll see.

What do you call a Christian that burns down/blow up a Chruch?
Give up?
A Klansman!
Such a stupid statement to be made, and how dumb it is to make a blanket statement based off a single angry mob. You think the Muslims who didn't care about the ruling made the news?Churches destroyed after blasphemy sentence handed down - CNN.com
