Jim Hoft has details of an outspoken Christian pastor assassinated in Indonesia.

Rusty Shackleford calls on bloggers to take a stand:

There is something that you can do to show your solidarity with Indonesia’s persecuted Christians. Boycott Indonesia.

Write your Congressman.

Write the Indonesian embassy or call (202) 775 - 5200

Write the consular section of the U.S. embassy, Jakarta.

Next time you’re in WalMart, be sure to check that label. Don’t buy Indonesian.

I fear that if the international community does not immediately and successfully pressure the Indonesian government to protect its Christian minorities with more than lip service, that serious violence and civil war will erupt. A war with only one possible outcome: increased persecution and the mass killings of Christians.

Indonesia is very sensitive to public criticisms. The government spends a lot of time engaged in propaganda intended to show that country as a shining example of what moderate Islam looks like. So, public pressure may just work in this instance.

Please do what you can to help.

We’re vastly outnumbered, but every voice counts.
