Muslims to guard churches on Christmas in Indonesia
Salam/Peace:
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.
Jakarta police have said they would boost security in the capital ahead of Christmas to avoid a repeat of 2000 Christmas Eve bombings on churches in several Indonesian cities, including in the country's capital.
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.

May God bless every single one of those volunteers whose kindness knows no bounds. It warms my heart that Muslims are full of the Christmas spirit to treat their fellow Abrahamic brothers in this manner.
