Anger is mounting over the latest bomb attacks by Islamic extremists in Indonesia, where yet again most of the dead have been locals and most of the damage has hit local businesses........

"Why is it only us? Why is Bali again the target of bombs?" asked I Gede Wiratha, the head of the Bali chapter of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

"Made Mangku Sudita, 36, who owns a beach restaurant just next door to the cafe where the first blast occurred in Jimbaran, expressed the public mood when he called for vengeance against those responsible.

""We have to kill those terrorists", he told AFP.

Similar sentiments were aired by many others, including taxi driver Wayan Rampa who lost his job in the silver industry after the October 2002 bombings devastated Bali's tourism sector.

"There is no need to take them to prisons... they should be taken to Bali to be turned into skewered meat or be grilled," he said of the culprits."


It seems that some of the residents of other countries are finally getting fed up. That's a good thing. Maybe we can get more of them on our side.

The situation is Indonesia is spinning out of control. I think it is safe to say that Indonesia is on the verge of complete collapse as we speak.

At this point, foreign 'western' governments need to start considering advising their non-essential citizens to leave.

Details posted later this evening.

Because Bali has a non-Moslem population.

I'm very interested in your "take" on things. When you say "spinning out of control", what do you mean exactly??

Because Bali is the famous tourist area. If they bomb Medan, or other not-so-famous area, nobody would care.

Means it is seriously time to leave.

The Indonesian government is not now able to control the situation and ensure the safety of foreigners.

If the UN wants to be relevant they need to use force to eliminate all hate groups and their associated houses of hate.

This would include, islime, KKK, Nazis, White Supremacist, Nation of islime, IRA, etc. feel free to add any obvious hate group to the list.

The world cannot afford to coddle these maggots under the guise of PC or let them hide under the cloak of religion when they are not.

If the UN will not do it then it falls on the civilized governments of the world to take action. If the governments will not take action it falls on the citizens of the world to root out these infectious puss maggots. PC be damned.

Nothing personal; it's just that you are an Infidel.

And apparently a naive one at that. -Tom

'extremist' -- now they are not even terrorists or (what was the more delicate word?). Now they are just 'extremists.' You can't fight an enemy until you can NAME him.

The problem with your premise that United Nations should take care of terrorism is that you base it on hopes and dreams. These are fine but so is the idea of a Santa Claus.

The UN is in reality an unaccountable conglomerate of useless individuals who represent the same governments who you say don't take care of the problem in the first place. There is no way as a collective group they will solve a problem that individually they are not committed to deal with. The U.S. and its allies in the War on Terrorism (especially Islamofascism) are dealing with the problem. A UN filled with representative of Islamic governments who openly or tacitly support terrorists is part of the problem.

Yes, I wish there was a higher force to take care of our problems, but other than God we're on our own. Ask not what the UN can do for you; rather ask what you can do for you for your country in this time of war.

GET US OUT OF THE UNITED NATIONS. (United, hah, it's almost funny to call that organization by its misleading name).

Bali is another front on the worldwide war against Radical Islam.

Let's hear it! It's about time the rest of the world woke up and smelled the coffee. Maybe if we get some help, the job will get done.

With all due respect Harris, did you read my full post? I stated if the UN would not do it, our governments should and if they would not we should.

So far, except in Saudi Arabia, they mostly attack Moslems in as byproduct of their attacks on Americans.Bali is the one nonMoslem island in Indonesia. The folks there are mostly Hindu. Moslems have a special regard for Hindus, right after Christians.
