    Why is it so important for Muslim and Arab countries to unite? Why do RI have to bond with a certain part when there is no such need? Why can RI not be open and bond with EU, Japan, the US, China and India AND the Arabs? Why just the Arabs? I don’t think this make sense.

    Quetion? If my neighbour is Christian or Hindu – is she less a sister of mine than another Muslim in another part of the planet?

    Please change the agitation and stop religion from parting us – religion is second to humanity. Foremost we are human beings, this defines us more than if we are sunnis, shias, hinus, Catholics, etc.

    IF RI continue to distance itself from the rest of the democratic world and insist on becoming the third Arabic state it will hurt RI most and particularly poor women and children. They are always the once lowest on the scale, poorest, when the economic development stalls. The political, financial and religious elite will always come out on top.

    Therefore I’m particurlarly surprised that Golkar supports this direction.

    Strange Country: fighting in the Middle East with the Arabs and in Maluku against Indonesian, solidarity with people living 10,000Km apart while evicting and oppressing neigbours such as Ahmedyyah followers, Papuan, Timorese etc. It seems to me religion is more important than nationality.

    As my Indonesian relatives put it, ‘Crazy Arabs, what can you say about them?’ There is no need for Indonesia to go down the same insane road as the Arabs follow; to do so would be foolish. Let the Arabs and Israelis figure out a way to live together on their own.

    Please, send as many jihadists over to the middle east, the more the merrier. We don’t need them back home.

    OH, and send them to Iraq and Afghanistan as well.

    It’s like to cleaning up a mess at home.

    Now let me clear the situation for you people. Hisbullah is Iran. Iran is Sunni. majority of sunni come from iran. Indonesia along with other Arab countries is Syi’ah. Iran wants to be recognize as a strong Moslem country that is equal with other Moslem countries. All the Arab think it’s a joke because Syi’ah is the majority and they rule. Iran, wants to prove that they strong enough so the way to prove it is to wipe Israel of the fae of earth. so what they do is, they send their dogs of war named Hisbullah to Beirut, they take hostage of the city along with few Israeli soldiers and then they bombed Israel. So, what Israel did is they fight back so that their nation doesnt perished. So, to Iran it’s a matter of good reputation, to Israel it’s a matter of life and dead.

    So if you say Israel is guilty then you are BLOODY WRONG. Hisbullah is a terorist as well as Iran, and even Moslem’s ALLAH surely would put them warmly in HELL where they belong.

    I rest my case

    correction, iran is syiah, and the rest of the Arab world is mostly sunni, Indonesia is mostly sunni too, you got the names wrong.

    jeez benjamin, are you working as a public relations officer for tel aviv? you said: “So if you say Israel is guilty then you are BLOODY WRONG”, are you saying Israel is right? are you saying killing more then 1000 civilians is right? the incident in Qana is right?

    “they send their dogs of war named Hisbullah to Beirut, they take hostage of the city” and how come Lebanon PM Fouad Siniora and the lebanese people supported hizbullah and refused to disarm them.

    two possibilities, you watch too much fox news/cnn/cnbc or you’re one of those murderous Jews, which is more likely considering your moniker. in that case, just go back to tel aviv, or haifa, so the katyusha rockets can reach you.

    MISS INDO 07, disregard benjamins political conspiracy theories, they are just propagandas and lies. the fact is more than a 1000 lebanese civilians, women and children included, had died since the attacks began.

    hey andrew and MISS INDO 07, I’m intrigued, we all knew that Lebanon is 51% Christians (Catholic, maronit, and druze) and 49% Muslim (sunni and syiah). so, as a country with lots of Christians, how come none of you Christians help your fellow Christians in Lebanon? why do you just stand and watch your brethrens die and got masacred by non-Christians (Jews)? do you have the guts to go there and help them? I guess not…
    at least those people had something you don’t: courage.

    even the so called good religious Christian like george w. bush sided with the Israeli, and where is he now? in his ranch on a holiday. can you still sleep and eat well while your fellow Christians are being slaughtered as well there in Lebanon?

  11. Andrew Says:

    I don’t think those jihadists know nor think about the fact that Lebanon is 51% Christian. All they want to do is go and kill some Jews (or so think think) – that’s the major motivator.

    And why did you think we didn’t help our fellow Christians? you just don’t know.

  12. Hassan Says:
    August 21st, 2006 at 2:59 pm

    i doubt it, have you made a psychological study on those people? do you know them? if not, how can you conclude that their major motivation was to kill Jews?

    Hassan the holy-man, i thought that idea was clear? a lot of them expressed their view publicly, talking on TV and to newspaper reporters.

    WE ARE A BLOODY FOOL…..BOTH ARE JEWS AND ARABS ARE BROTHERS…so do not bother about them,for many centuries.They created many religions for us to fight to each other….bull sh*t !

    saint Peter, maybe you’re right, maybe some of them are full of hatred, but let’s not generalize and stereotype people, shall we? the only ones who understood their motives are themselves, not us.

    I’m intrigued by the comments of this very post (too bad it has been kinda rusty).
    Personal opinions about jihad aside,
    let me ask you,
    do (and how much) you believe in your media?
    After all,
    we got most of the story from the media.
