Indonesia Muslims stage major anti-U.S. protest


    JAKARTA, Oct 21, (Reuters)      *****

- More than 5,000 Muslims calling for holy war gathered for a mass
prayer rally in Indonesia's royal city of Solo on Sunday in one of the
country's largest rallies against the U.S.-led strikes on Afghanistan. 

Chanting "Jihad! Jihad!" (holy war! holy war!), the protesters clad in
traditional Muslim white and wearing matching prayer caps or veils
gathered near the centre of Solo, about 450 km (280 miles) east of
Jakarta. 

But despite fears of anti-Western violence, the demonstrators dispersed
peacefully early in the afternoon after listening to sermons by local
clerics. 

Solo, an ancient Javanese city famous for its royal palace, has been one
of the hotbeds of anti-U.S.  sentiment in Indonesia, the world's most
populous Muslim nation. 

Scores of Muslim radicals raided hotels and the local airport last month
searching for Americans to expel. 

Sunday's turnout was much smaller than the 10,000 Muslims who thronged
the streets of Jakarta on Friday in the biggest American protest to date
against the U.S.-led strikes on Afghanistan in retaliation for the
September 11 attacks on New York and Washington that killed more than
5,000 people. 

Indonesia has been racked by almost daily anti-American protests since
the U.S.-led strikes against Afghanistan began on October 7. 

The anti-Western sentiment has depressed financial markets, but
Indonesian Islam is generally moderate and there have been no reports of
serious trouble involving foreigners. 

President Megawati Sukarnoputri is trying to tread a fine line between
supporting the United States, a key ally, in its war on terrorism and
appeasing domestic Islamic anger over the attacks on Afghanistan.
