   How’s the story going Ross? Mine’s done, only now I’ve got to trim out 500 words – unless you’d agree to an increase in our target word count…

   Thanks for the pre-emptive vote of confidence Lairedion!

   I submitted mine today, had to trim it, but kept to under 1500. If Patung wants me to let me expand it a bit, I am prepared to.
   My fan club on IM is smaller than yours, but preaching to the converted lacks spice!

   I put it back to draft status in case you want to edit it again Ross, the title though, I’ll send PM….I’m thinking Monday to publish so no rush.

   Ross, it’s up to you buddy. I’ll chop mine down anyway, but it’ll loose something, obviously. But if you want 500 extra words to play with yourself, let me know and I’ll submit the longer version.

   Naw, let’s leave it as it is, too much work involved, with a weekend looming. Patung, please keep it to the one I submitted, though the title can perhaps be improved.

   It’s done, though I confess I’m 92 words over the limit, which I guess means I get a vote deducted as a penalty, or something like that. Not really bothered about the vote anyway; just looking forward to what I am confident will be two radically different stories…

   Ok timdog I got it, no penalties needed, I actually figured out a way of giving a post multiple authors so it’ll say “by Ross & Timdog”, the voting, wouldn’t expect a huge turnout there as longish (by internet standards) short stories are not like “Dewi Persik Wardrobe Accident” posts are they in terms of getting eyeballs.

   To paraphrase a commenter here: it’s arabs’ fault. Of cooourse, we should then ask ourselves why we let those arabs (did it).

   To my knowledge those arabs (eventhough they are citizen of indonesia) came from outside (duh, obviously). Therefore I consider them as guests, regardless the number of years or generations they’ve been living here. I will — or we should — always consider them as guests until they fully assimilate with us. There are numerous local cultures to choose from: sundanese javanese balinese manado ambon papua padang madura dayak etc.

   The message is clear for them: be one of us, or stay as guest. As in any civilized world, we treat guests well as long as they return the favor.

   These incidents involving fanatic groups linked to / operated by arabs clearly show that some of them have failed on both accounts: assimilating and being good guests. Therefore we must expel them (only those who have failed) before they cause further damage to our country. To name a few: abu bakar basyir, rizieq shihab…, they should be in the expel list.
