#schoolmosqueattack

I couldn’t sleep after reading this. Friday prayers. A packed mosque inside a state high school in Kelapa Gading, Jakarta. 12:15 local time. Then — BOOM. More than 50 people wounded, mostly teenagers. Severe burns, shrapnel lodged in flesh, kids screaming in white smoke. The suspect? A 17-year-old student from the same school. He’s in the hospital too — critical condition. Indonesia’s police chief, Listyo Sigit Prabowo, went live on TV: “The suspect assembled the bomb at home. We’re tracing every second of how he built it and walked in with it.” But the part that froze my blood wasn’t the bomb. It was what police found next to his body: Two toy guns. One looked like a sub-machine gun, the other a pistol. Engraved on the barrel: “14 words. For Agartha.” On the body: “Brenton Tarrant. Welcome to Hell.” Yes — THAT Brenton Tarrant. The guy who murdered 51 Muslims in Christchurch in 2019 while live-streaming it to the world. A government minister rushed to TV cameras: “Relax, those were just toy guns.” Toy guns don’t carry neo-Nazi slogans, sir. Classmates told local media: He was bullied every single day A quiet loner who drew violent sketches in his notebooks After the blast, he was found lying on the mosque floor, barely breathing A school cook: “White smoke everywhere, windows shattered, we couldn’t breathe” Facts we know so far: Homemade explosive No terror group has claimed it A dark green cartridge belt was recovered Bomb squad swept the entire campus — all clear Officials begging people not to call it “terrorism” yet Indonesia is the world’s largest Muslim nation. 87% of 280 million people are Muslim. And still, a kid walked into a mosque and tried to recreate Christchurch. Was this just a broken teenager snapping? Or did he fall down the same online pipeline that radicalized Tarrant’s copycats across the planet? Because “14 words” isn’t random. It’s the white-supremacist creed: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.” And “Agartha”? That’s the mythical underground Aryan kingdom straight out of 4chan’s darkest corners. I keep thinking about the parents who dropped their kids at school this morning. About the ones who won’t come home the same. If you’re a parent, teacher, or just someone who knows a quiet teenager — check their browser history tonight. Look at their sketches. Ask the questions that feel awkward. This isn’t “somewhere else.” This is the world we’re living in now. Drop a 🖤 in the comments if this shook you too. And if you’re in Jakarta and have ground updates, please share. Praying for every kid in that hospital bed right now. May they heal. May we wake up before the next one. ~ End ~ (Feature image: use the Reuters photo of the police officer talking to the army officer while civilians watch in shock.) Want me to write Part 2 tomorrow? “How a Jakarta schoolboy got radicalized by a dead terrorist — the online trail they don’t want you to see.” Just say the word. ❤️‍🩹
