Not just restricted to West Papua...Papua New Guinea's Islamic population is growing, too.
I had a friend who was there during WWII (originally at Port Moresby, but spent much of the war out "with the people"--I imagine he was also an observer to watch for Japanese attacks coming from Rabaul or over the ridge). He said the people were some of the nicest he met throughout his time in the Pacific...and his photos sure showed the beauty of it, even if they were black and white.
How thick are you? How thick do you think I am? Are the Indonesian soldiers shooting the natives in Papua New Guinea or just in West Papua, the territory annexed by Indonesia? Are you telling me 'Papua New Guinea's Islamic population is growing, too' to make it appear as if the increasing population of West Papua is not the result of FORCED migration of Indonesian muslims deliberately designed to displace the indigenous people who remain alive? Are you counting on the fact that the rest of the world, particularly the US, is too busy taking care of business in the ME, that the trouble brewing throughout South East Asia is not well understood?
Let me remind you of the existence of Matiqi 1,2,3, & 4. The establishment of sharia throughout Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philipines. Mantiqi 4 refers to the Australian mainland and Papua.
Save me from stories about friends in the area during WWII, nostalgia and black and white photographs...the muslims are comitting genocide!
"Papua already has a brutal history. International organisations estimate 30,000 indigenous people were killed during the turbulent 6 year period from 1963 to 1969. Moreover, observers believe 100,000 people have died in Papua over an extended 39 year period of occupation and systematic intimidation. Exploitation of vast natural resources, poor provision of medical services, famine and an overwhelming Indonesian military presence have all contributed to this tragedy.
Three issues are currently important. Firstly, there a massive shift in demographics as outsiders settle in Papua. Secondly, there is the possibility of a "Maluku"-style conflict with arrival of the Laskar Jihad in Papua and the formation of their organisation, "Forum Komunikasi Ahlus Sunnah Wal-Jammaah". Thirdly, there is serious collusion and co-operation between the Jihad, the militia and the military."
