Jakarta (AsiaNews) – A group composed of Islamic extremists attacked Catholics praying the rosary on 11 October and threatened to burn down the house they were gathered in. The assailants, who claimed to be part of the Islamic Defender Front (Front Pembela Islam, FPI), invaded the house of one of the Catholic community belonging to the parish of Christ Salvator in western Jakarta.
The men forced the marian prayer to stop immediately, threatening to burn the place down. They forced all those present including the Ketua Lingkungan (informal parish leader - ed. note) to sign a declaration that they will not hold any more rosary gatherings in houses in the area.

The attack has fuelled fears and apprehension among Indonesian Catholics who fear further possible hostile moves from the FPI. The front is also behind the closure of 24 home-churches in western Java.

For Catholics all over the world, including those in Indonesia, October and May are months dedicated especially to the Virgin Mary. In Indonesia, believers manifest their faith by undertaking pilgrimages to the country’s Marian shrines and by reciting the rosary in parishes.

Meeting to recite the rosary together, better known as Doa Rosario Bersama, is usually organised once a week in one of the houses of the community.
 
The actual title of the article, Islamic extremists attack Catholics reciting rosary, is far more accurate than the title you supplied. And far less inflammatory, as well. 😦
 
Those were muslims who attacked the Rosary group. Shall i sugar coat it? perhaps we can get the opinion of the ACLU to let me know if i’ve offended any of the muslim thugs who threatened Christians with physical harm. Sorry, my headline didn’t lie.
'll try a few more…

how about “Muslims attacked Christians trying to practice their faith”
or
“Christians praying Rosary forced to desist by threats of force from armed muslims.”

your pick.

Why not simply go with the original title? It clearly mentions that the attack was by extremists.

I am sure that our resident defenders of the Islamic faith will soon turn this around. I fully expect to see a post that the Catholics were at fault within 24 hours.

It´s very normal, the Virgin Mary converts many muslims to catholicism, all the main virgins in Europe has a deep relation about muslims and it´s a key for these conversions, Guadalupe, is an arabic name “wolf river”, Lourdes, is the name of a muslim chief baptised there, Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad, and a girl married with a christian prince in Portugal, Medjugorje in Bosnia, a land with many muslims, Zeitun, in Egypt and much others.
And the rosary, we have to remember, that Lepanto, the famous battle in Grecce won against turks by the holy league with Spain and Rome was won by the powerful action of Rosary.
Pray for the conversions, God is with us.
