Hehehe... kalo ini masuk berita di media Indonesia, tentunya bunyinya adalah 
tjd konflik antara orang Kristen dan Islam. Padahal sih orang Islam aja yg 
nyerang orang Amrik yg dituduh melakukan pemurtadan.

Perhatikan jg bhw yg ngeprovokasi unt nyerang itu adalah orang islam yg 
ceritanya ikut berusaha unt membuat perdamaian di Maluku.

Berarti, ga ada orang Islam moderat, yg ada itu adalah orang Islam tukang tipu 
yg pura2 jadi orang baik padahal mereka cuma bikin orang ga waspada dan gampang 
dibunuh oleh orang Islam tukang bunuhnya yg dikenal umum sbg orang Islam 
fundamental.

INDONESIA – UNITED STATES
Accused or proselytising, American family attacked by Indonesian extremists 
by Mathias Hariyadi
Only the intervention of the police prevented serious consequences for the 
parents and their two boys. The father had started two weeks earlier to 
teach English at a local Protestant school. The attack, which took place in 
South Sulawesi, was ordered by a radical local Muslim leader.

Jakarta (AsiaNews) – Only the intervention of police saved the lives of an 
American family that was attacked by an enraged mob spurred by a local 
religious leader.  Muslim fundamentalists were incensed by charges that 
the head of the family was engaged in proselytising in the predominantly Muslim 
area. The latest of its kind (a few days ago clashes between Christians and 
Muslims left people dead and wounded in Maluku, this incident is further proof 
of Indonesia’s steady slide towards 
extremism, a situation that threatens the country’s constitutional 
foundation, namely its pluralism.

The attack came at night on 5 September in an area west of Palu, 
provincial capital of South Sulawesi. An American family, David Ray 
Graeff, 41, his wife Georgia, also 41, and their two sons Benjamin and 
Daniel, had been staying at Bukit Kabonena Permai housing compound for 
the previous two weeks. Mr Graeff had been hire to teach English 
language and literature at a local Protestant divinity school in the 
village of Uwera, Sigi District.

On that night, an extremist mob, spurred by a local Muslim leader, 
Muhammad Saleh bin Abubakar Alaydrus, from the local Nurul Khairaat 
praying group, attacked the family, accusing them of proselytising in 
the mostly Muslim area. For them, the presence of Americans was itself a
 “serious threat”. 

In the course of their attack, the mob set fire to the family’s property, 
including a minivan. 

Police, who had already been deployed in the area to pre-empt acts of violence, 
was able to intervene and prevent the worse.

However, the family had to be moved to avoid possible deaths and 
injuries, Southeast Sulawesi Deputy Police Chief Senior Superintendent 
Ari Dono Sukmanto said.

Indonesia’s good reputation as a pluralistic, multi-confessional 
society, has been tarnished by the attack in South Sulawesi and the 
clashes on the Maluku Islands. 

Comments and articles in Indonesia’s press have highlighted the matter, 
as many see such incidents as a confirmation of the country’s possible 
Islamisation.

Indeed, Muhammad Saleh bin Abubakar Alaydrus, the Muslim leader that 
ordered the attack on the American Christian family in Palu, had joined 
in 2001 a government peace plan agreed in Malino to end sectarian 
violence between Christians and Muslims in Maluku.
