Update: Riots break out in Indonesia:

Christian mobs torched cars, blockaded roads and looted Muslim-owned shops in violence touched off by Friday’s executions of three Roman Catholics convicted of instigating attacks on Muslims.

On the island of Flores, the executed men’s birthplace, machete-wielding mobs ran through the streets Friday, sending women and children running in panic, police and witnesses said.

Police and media reports said at least five people were hurt, including a prosecutor who was hospitalized with stab wounds.

Rest in peace, Fabianus Tibo, Dominggus da Silva, and Marinus Riwu.

The men were taken before the firing squad at 12:15 a.m.
Please pray for their loved ones today.

Meanwhile, a militant cleric alleged to be a top leader in an al-Qaida-linked terror group was released from prison in June.

Michelle Malkin swats at the pathetic attacks by the Left who showed this week their real commitment to social justice.
