I think people are starting to realize that the enemy is really Islam.I hope people can accept the fact that PC and politeness in order not to offend Muslims is now out the window.These people are committing atrocities in the name of Islam.

I have to respectfully disagree. I know lots of Muslims and they aren't like these homicidal weirdos at all. I do think the root of Indonesia's problems are not religious but economic. Face it, Muslims and Christians have gotten along very nicely in Indonesia for hundreds of years. Why would there suddenly be violence? The only thing that has changed is that the economy has tanked in a way that has never been seen in all history. It went from Asian tiger economy with everyone employed and everyone happy they didn't go the commie route like those fools in vietnam did, to one of the world's worst economies, the zaire of asia. This is an incredible shame. And once the economy tanked, there were suddenly all these religious turf wars that have little to do with religion and everything to do with money.

The Muslims I know are culturally no different from conservative Catholics or Baptists. They have different conventions but the same kinds of discipline. And they hate the same sleazy stuff that good conservative Catholics and Protestants and Jews do. They like two-parent families, they like chastity, they like wholesome movies, they hate porn, they hate drunkeness, they hate flashers of cleavage or people who show their butt cracks or sing filth lyrics. It's the same deal. They are just like us.

....and very importantly: they are BIGTIME opponents of abortion. They are our best allies against the planned parenthood crowd at all those world conferences. Catholic Philippines and Muslim Indonesia are the world's loudest proponents on the international scene for pro-life causes and Malaysia has ordered its population to go from 18 million to 80 million in the next 20 years simply because they are pro-life.
