Isn’t one of Bali’s great historical legends one concerning the nobles and warriors of the island committing mass suicide rather than submit to conquest after being defeated in a battle by the invading Portugese?

You’d think a few of them might decide to get together and do something about invading islamists.

IIRC, the story is from the West Indies / Caribbean and the people the Taino of the Arawak persuasion.
