Thousands of Muslims shouting “Allahu Akbar” marched in Jakarta this week. The protesters carried “go to hell” signs and chanted against the US.
CBC reported, via Jihad Watch:
Thousands of Muslims enraged over an anti-Islam film have marched through Indonesia’s capital.
Jakarta police spokesman Col. Rikwanto estimates at least 5,000 people joined the demonstration Sunday. They marched to the U.S. Embassy, which was guarded by hundreds of police, and staged a noisy but peaceful protest.
Participants in the rally, organized by the Islamic-based Prosperous Justice Party, chanted anti-American slogans and shouted “Allah akbar,” or “God is great.”
Many wore traditional white robes and held big banners reading, “Go to hell with your freedom of expression, Muslims unite against insults to Islam.“

I have been to Pakistan. I have prayed to Allah and put my butt in the air and my head in the ground. These Muslims love me! And, I expect they will vote for me!
It’s time we return to our roots in the 7th century! It’s time for Sharia Law in place of democracy! It’s time for the Muslim Brotherhood to give me all of their votes! …so, I can win the election!
If you like the way that I trash Free Speech and the US Constitution then vote for me! I am trying bankrupt America as fast as possible. And, this is super important!
Send me $3.00 before midnight. My campaign is going sour! Jay-z wants is donation money back. My campaign is busted. Send me more money now!

U.S. to sell Indonesia 8 Apache helicopters
Reuters – Thu, Sep 20, 2012
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States said on Thursday it will sell Indonesia eight AH-64/D Apache helicopters to strengthen security ties with the largest country in Southeast Asia and the world’s most populous Muslim-majority nation. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, speaking during a meeting with Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa in Washington, said Congress had been notified of the intent to sell the aircraft. “This agreement will strengthen our comprehensive partnership and help enhance security across the region,” Clinton said. President Barack Obama’s administration has sought to buttress defense ties with Indonesia as it refocuses its attention toward the Asia-Pacific following long years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan. The United States has stepped up military cooperation with traditional allies such as the Philippines and Australia, and joined regional efforts to press China to accept a multilateral framework for solving flaring territorial disputes in the South China Sea. Clinton did not reveal an estimated cost for the Apache deal, which Indonesian media have reported has been in the works for months. The attack helicopters, used by militaries around the world, are made by Boeing. The United States last year announced it was giving Indonesia two dozen second-hand F-16 fighter planes, with Jakarta covering the estimated $750 million needed to refurbish the late-model fighters and overhaul their engines. U.S. officials say the delivery of U.S. hardware will improve cooperation and information-sharing between the U.S. and Indonesian militaries as they face common security threats. The announcement of the helicopter sale came as Clinton and Natalegawa wound up the third regular U.S.-Indonesia joint commission meeting, with both saying that ties between the two countries had grown stronger. Clinton, who visited Indonesia this month as part of an Asia-Pacific tour, said trade topped $26 billion last year and that the United States would invest $600 million over the next five years in Indonesian clean energy development, child health and nutrition programs and government transparency initiatives under its Millennium Challenge aid program. Indonesia has been among the nations hit by violent anti-American protests over the past week to protest against a U.S.-made video seen as critical of Islam. Clinton said that the United States had decided to temporarily close its diplomatic facilities in the country on Friday in case further protests erupt. But she praised Jakarta for its response to the crisis. “We are very grateful for not only the cooperation and the protection that has been provided to our facilities, but also for the strong statements condemning violence,” Clinton said.

SeniorD commented:
How interesting that the ‘protesters’ have nice, printed signs with slogans and pictures. Now where did they obtain said signs? Is the entire Muslim world now our declared enemy?
Almost sounds like a reason to postpone the elections ‘until the crisis is over’.

“AMERICAN FREEDOMS UNDER ATTACK”
Your mask, so carefully applied,
Has torn for all to see,
Your unjust rage against our faith,
Now threatens Liberty.
Ye enemies of freedom gather,
False despots’ begotten sons,
And in America the Beautiful,
Your leader is the traitor; “THE WON”.
God gave this land a Law of Defense,
Which applies to every man
Who lives by the code of “self-control”
Who prays freedom for this land–
Who has pledged he’ll not seek conquest
But take a DEFENDER’S stand.
Hear us, ye craven foes of life,
We are not afraid of your screams.
For a “moment” you may spread your strife,
For a brief space of time you may dream,
Of defiling our women and enslaving our youth
With fanatical zealots’ schemes.
We have watched you burn our embassies,
We have seen you deface our flag.
Our soldiers and envoys have paid death’s price,
While you screamed, and ranted, and bragged.
You were seen unworthy of pride or respect,
As their bodies through your sands were dragged.
Enough of the frauds, enough of the lies,
That your anarchy is “decent” or “just”.
Though you claim false pretext to cover your sins,
We renounce your excuses for lust,
Of the men and their homes they will defend,
With their very lives if they must!
We renounce your MEDIA WHORES as well–
You have bought and paid for their souls.
We deny their lies, we reject their claims,
We repudiate so-called “polls”—
Which you believe will cause us to quake
At the “might” you claim to control.
We have prayed, and fasted, and pleaded,
The God of Our Fathers once more.
It was He who gave us Freedom’s gift;
And His might cannot be ignored.
His Law of Defense now applies here,
And it sanctifies our shores!
Aroused, Columbia’s* God prepares,
To repel every foe from this land.
It is He who orders Heaven and Earth,
And with Him we now take our stand.
Once more we Patriots rally and cry—
We shall honor what Heaven commands!
* Columbia = United States; new Latin; from Christopher Columbus; first used 1775.
NO RIGHT RESERVED.
In 1776, a pitiful, yet believing, band of farmer/soldiers defended themselves against the most powerful army the world had ever known—AND WON; against all odds; against every treasonous naysayer, defeatist, and cynic, THEY WON.

Anyone else see the irony of these massive protests availing themselves of freedom of expression to attack our freedom of expression.
