They [Bali Terrorists] do not enjoy the support of the majority of Muslims in Indonesia or Australia...sure they do as pointed out later: Yesterday however, listeners to Muslim Community Radio (MCR) at 92.1 FM heard a lecture on the need for solidarity of Muslims worldwide – not a word about the Bali attack. The war IS about islam.

Ahhh ... sometimes Piers just can't help himself.

His statement that there was "not a word about the Bali attack" was demonstrably false, and as a former Community Radio Station manager, I can tell you that the 'lecture' he refers to was almost certainly taped long before the weekend, and scheduled well in advance of the attack.

Given that CommRad stations are staffed entirely by volunteers, it may not have even been noticed until the program went to air.

Again, I stress ... I want to see Islamism crushed - but to quote someone in another thread on terrorist attacks, "there should never be any justification for attacking innocent people" - something which cuts both ways.

Regards

Sadim
