In Jakarta, Indonesia, hundreds of Christian theology students have been living in tents since a mob of angry Muslim neighbors stormed the campus last month wielding bamboo spears and launching Molotov cocktails.

Fox News reports that, “the incident comes amid growing concern that Indonesia’s tradition of religious tolerance is under threat from Islamic hard-liners.”

In negotiations since the attack, the Arastamas Evangelical School of Theology has reluctantly agreed to close its 20-year-old campus in East Jakarta, accepting an offer this week to transfer to a small office building on the other side of the Indonesian capital.

Rev. Matheus Mangentang, chairman of the 1,400-student school, is not pleased that he’s forced to move his school while his attackers can walk freely on the streets.

According to Fox, “the government of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, which relies on the support of Islamic parties in Parliament, is struggling to balance deep Islamic traditions and a secular constitution. With elections coming next April, the government seems unwilling to defend religious minorities, lest it be portrayed as anti-Islamic in what is the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country.”

A spokesman for the Christian school, Senny Manave, said complaints were received from neighbors about prayers and the singing of hymns, which they deemed to be disturbing evangelical activity.
