SURABAYA, Indonesia — As police and soldiers looked on, about 200 Muslims on Friday stormed a Christian youth retreat at a home in Indonesia, driving out participants and damaging property, sources said.
Carrying banners and shouting, “Destroy that house, destroy that house,” the Muslim mob, after Friday mosque prayers, attacked the home in Tangkil village, Sukabumi in Cidahu District, West Java Province, at about 1:30 p.m. local time, damaging windows, toilets, a gazebo and garden, according to Sukabumisatu.com.
Claiming that a house should not be used as a place of worship, the mob also reportedly threw a motorbike into a nearby river and damaged the main gate.
