Australian killed in blast

NATIONAL police spokesman Zainury Lubis has confirmed the death toll for the Jakarta blast is 10 - including one Australian.

One American and one Malaysian, as well as seven others, were killed in the blast. No identities or further details were released.

Police were continuing to comb the wreckage for further victims.

The US victim was among seven bodies at the state-run Cipto Mangunkusumo hospital morgue.

An ambulance crew was seen unloading seven plastic bags containing body parts but the crew declined to comment.

"It looks like they were all burned," said a morgue official, Oyon, after the first bodies arrived.

MMC Hospital, one of four which received the dead and wounded from the blast, and the nearest to scene, treated 43 patients but most were quickly discharged, said its spokeswoman Anitya Irna.

She said four patients were in the hospital's burn unit for treatment of burns to about 30 percent of their bodies.

An American and an Australian were among those being treated at MMC for minor injuries, Irna said.

I am willing to bet a substantial amount of cash that 100% of the veiled and presumably female individuals in that photo have never actually met a Jew.

See, Islam deliberately transmits anti-semitism and other hate concepts. It works like this: Shivelled uneducated pea brain floating in sewage inside cranium is filled with barely grasped rhetoric from the mulla. When promted, this rhetoric flows from the pea brain, repeated as from a tape recorder. The individual's voice is heard but it is the mullah speaking.

Fortunately for the mullah, most of their subjects are illiterate and cannot actually check the Koran to see if the rhetoric is supported, and certainly are in no position to challenge him.

For spouting the mulla's ideology, valuable prizes are guaranteed...after you die.

Sad.

The women in that picture are unrepresentitive of Indonesian womanhood.

These women are self-advertising their willful ignorance, their stupidity (a different thing), their cruelty and, last of all, their hatred of the Indonesian nation and its people. They shape and direct their hatred toward "Jews", but they have never net, seen, or spoken with a "Jew". Jews are exceedingly rare in Indonesia. What these women fear is reason and intelligence. They fear that they will actually be called upon to present evidence of individual thought.

Maybe more representative, but certainly not typical is the extraordinary Inul.

What we need is Saddam Hussein's head on a pike at the port of Los Angles and Osama Bin Laiden's head on a pike at the port of New York with signs on both of them that read "Obviously Allah doesn't give a Rat's Ass about your jihad."!!!!
