“JAKARTA, Indonesia — Ten suspected militants have gone on trial for allegedly planning to bomb an Indonesian church before Easter mass and to film the inferno for broadcast.

They are also charged with sending mail bombs — none of them deadly — to several of the country’s moderate Muslims and police earlier this year.

The 10 defendants were each being tried separately at the West Jakarta District Court.

Authorities in April recovered explosives planted beneath a gas pipeline near 3,000-seat Christ Cathedral Church outside the capital.

Prosecutor Teguh Suhendro said Thursday that the 10 men, all in their 30s, had planned to use these in the foiled plot, and that defendant Imam Firdaus, a local TV journalist, allegedly planned to film the attack.” Source – Associated Press.

    Allah is Love.

    Oh, no, actually, he’s not.

    I asked a Muslim associate once if ‘Allah’ was ever described as love in the Qur’an. There are 99 names and descriptions of Allah, and not one of them is love.

    Only God is love. 1 John 4:16, “And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.”

    As far as I know, the only incidence of violence perpetrated by a follower of Christ in the entire New Testament was when Peter drew and sword and tried to hack off the head of a the High Priest’s slave–and he was sternly rebuked by Jesus (Mt 26:51-52).
