“Militants” in our land? – seems unreal but it’s true. And what’s disturbing is that by hiding behind the cover of religion, they are pretty much difficult to touch.

I don’t think the government ALONE can solve the issue.

Where have you been hiding?

This has been going on for decades in ‘your land’, people just shoved their head in the sand and ignored it.

It’s about time the police stopped pussy-footing around and took these guys out.

Well, that’s better act, but I feel sad for the deceased policeman.

Hi Indra,

It is an unfortunate incident that has to resolve to violence and death.

The Indonesian government need to act swiftly to resolve the issue of militants, any militants in Indonesia, they need to stomp its foot to eliminate any militant armies that threaten the country.

Just on this topic, I read that there were some “war training” activities that uses “gun replicas” that took place in Java, I wonder if the government will actually take this matter seriously or will they wait until something bad happens.

Do you mean a real war training or a ‘war training’?

The second is about the game using the kind of air/ball/paint gun.

Hi Indra,

I read about an article where civilians were equipped with gun-replicas and they practiced “holy war” against the enemy. What I don’t agree is that we as Indonesians have army that protects its people, when civilians are equiping themselves with weapons then they can be classified as mercenaries.

I hope the government will take this thing seriously before these people think that they go to far.

They are not ‘civilians’, they are terrorists and the government is taking them very seriously, that’s why they are killing them.

Wew, that should be addressed immediately!
Before it reached into full scale holy war.

Hi Indra,

I hope the government is addressing the problem at the very root level, that is by eliminating people inciting hatred, I just don’t understand why you have to hate anyone. We all live in one place, we are all human being, sure we have differences, but that shouldn’t make us hate one another.

Difference is what makes us as a human race great, can you imagine if everyone living on earth act, look, dressed exactly like anyone? I would be very annoyed and bored at the same time.

The solution is simple. Think about it. Both religions say that we should forgive our enimies and love those who tourture us. The solution is to forgive.

I learned a lot here. I watched POSO in youtube, it was said that Christians initiated the war. It was also mentioned in youtube that only the Christians were the ones who kill. But then with this article and the other articles I’ve read, it was JI’s. I’ll be reading other reports about this so I would thoroughly understand.

I once asked my Indonesian blockmate, [btw i'm from the Philippines] I asked him about POSO and he was not sure about it because he said that his hometown is quite far from POSO but he said that it’s not that violent anymore unlike before.

I am not an Indonesian but I really think that the government should push through on this. The images played on you tube includes children, innocent people. They just don’t die with a bang, they were butchered. I just hope that this would be over and that here in the Philippines, it would be also in peace.

Jokoboyo said, likewise Aceh … there were no peace in Aceh until God sent the huge massive Tsunami inorder to give them chance to understand if diversity in all aspects are good and people can & should help each other regardless the boundaries of countries or religions.
