Maybe there's blood on yours too? Muslim hypocrisy in action in Jakarta today

Apparently, Muslims have taken to the streets of Jakarta today to protest at  Egypt’s efforts to assist Israel in the prevention of weapons smuggling via border tunnels:

More than 200 Indonesian Muslims protested in Jakarta Sunday against an underground wall being built to block a network of tunnels crossing Egypt’s border with the Gaza Strip.

The demonstrators from the Voice of Palestine support group carried banners reading “Stop Building Steel Wall on Gaza” and chanted “Die America, Die Egypt” in front of the Egyptian embassy.

After years of ignoring the tunnel smuggling — which is used to bypass Israeli sanctions — Egypt began building the wall after falling out with Hamas, the Islamist movement which rules Gaza.

“We demand Egypt to remove the wall on humanitarian grounds. Erecting the wall will cause the Palestinians to suffer economically. Food supply will be affected,” the group’s coordinator, Hisyam Sulaiman, 42, told AFP.

The network, which Hamas has been accused of using to smuggle weapons into the territory, has withstood Israeli air strikes and Egyptian attempts to flood the tunnels with water and gas.

Citing national security, Egypt is now building an underground iron wall in a bid to tighten its Sinai border with the restive Palestinian territory.

The United States has voiced its support for the wall’s construction, saying it will stop arms smuggling.Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation, with 234 million people, is a strong supporter of the Palestinian cause.

We can’t help wondering whether these Jakartans, apparently protesting ‘economic suffering’ (in an area that is one of the worlds largest recipients of foreign aid and donations), were the same Indonesian Muslims that conspire to have churches closed down enlisting the help of sympathetic bureucrats, or just go in and smash them up?
