Thousands Protest Bush in Indonesia

HeadlineNov 20, 2006

President Bush is in Indonesia today as he continues his eight-day tour of Asia. More than 10,000 people took to the streets of the capital Jakarta Sunday ahead of the president’s visit.

Alnurdin of Indonesia’s Islamic Defenders Front: “Various elements from different Muslim civil organizations here have all objected the devil himself, George Bush, to come to Indonesia. Essentially, we all agreed that Bush is a murderer in the eyes of Muslims across the world.”

Protests are continuing in Indonesia today.
