In the past they were using machetes which are called parangs over there. Somebody bought them some machine guns. It was bin Laden.

And why are the Christians unarmed? Because of Gun Control.

Nobody obeys laws in Indonesia. It's not Singapore. If you want a gun in Indonesia, you can get a gun.

I have awoken to more terrorism all over the world.
These terrorists are supported and harbored by the UN and US State Department.

The main problem, in fact, is the melted rupiah, which makes buying ANYTHING of actual value, other than food, impossible. Believe it or not, the problem is money. What would be a few hundred dollars to us would be tens of thousands of dollars to them - they make less than a dollar a day, ever since the filthy stinking IMF turned their money into mud.

Send over the Dynamic Duo,The ever gutless Pat Leahy and the ever Camera Shy Chuckie Schumer.
They will hold hearings as to why these barbarians are using guns, when differences can be negotiated.
Sounds like it's those Peaceful Islamic Muslims again, just trying to gain some converts to their Cause(Jihad).

wrong, Christians are commanded to obey the law, unless the law contradicts the laws of God.
IF there is a law agianst them owning a gun, they will not own a gun.

Now is the time that our collective resolve will be tested, our steel tried and our courage challenged. We will see how many among us who are now literally waving the flag falter when the reality of this war hits home. Yes, from here on, it gets dirty.

No, the main problem is not money. The main problem is these idiots with machine guns and rocket launchers who are targeting Christians.
Their money problems are the convenient justification for their barbarity.

Indonesia has had 300 per cent inflation and 10 % of the population controls 90% of the wealth, but its not a problem. Its all about religion.

Yeah, that's right. Your kind justifies murder in the name of economics. You're a very sick man.

Today ... Indonesia; Yesterday ... Sudan; Tomorrow ... the Mideast; Next week ... Bosnia again. Islam is not a religion, it is a cult and is not compatible with any other culture - Islam seeks to impose itself on the entire world. And unless he ammends his words, George Bush's "religion of peace" will gain for him the same rewards his father got with "read my lips."

10 % of the population controls 90% of the wealthSomething wrong with that? Let's take the wealth of the 10% and re-distribute it? You're the worst of two evils, a socialist who supports violence as a means of achieving a social agenda that has been a proven failure wherever it's attempted.

Its not possible to understand what is going on in Indonesia with a sound bite, but you can try.

If I hear that Islam is a "peaceful" religion one more time, I'll puke.
To: Diogenesis
I went to bed sick last night from the "Religion of Peace (TM)" "Religion of Peace"? Will someone please tell the Muslims?
