Muslim youth group to guard Christmas celebrations...

Now this is good news. A very pleasant surprise considering the normal news coming out of Indonesia. Not all the news in the world is bad obviously. Thanks to Damian Penny for the link.

JAKARTA, DECEMBER 9: Volunteers from Indonesia's largest Islamic organisation will guard churches across the world's most populous Muslim nation on Christmas amid fears of terrorist attacks on those places, the group said on Friday.
...
A youth wing affiliated with Indonesia's largest Muslim group Nahdlatul Ulama, some 40 million strong, said that members would guard churches for the coming Christmas festivities and it had persuaded youths from other religions to join the project.

I added the link to Nahdlatul Ulama because I'm a sucker for links. Not that I can read a single thing on that page or that I know anything about the group beyond what I read in the stub that Wikipedia has...
