Indonesia - a little bit of Arabia in the Indian Ocean : Comments

By Melody Kemp, published 25/7/2008

With money pouring in from Wahabiist Saudi Arabia, the Islamist PKS (Prosperous Justice Party) is exerting enormous leverage among the poor in Indonesia.

It would be a mistake to lump all Muslims together in the same category because of the antics of a few idiots. I am not in agreement with the teachings of the Islamic faith but that doesn't mean that all Muslims are suicide bombers. While Indonesia is I think 90% Muslim, they are generally not fundamentalist. Likewise 70% of Australians call themselves Christian, but they are not all Bible thumping loonies.

In the same way, I am a committed Christian, and I am in no way like Gibo with his paranoia towards the Chinese and the Indonesians. I don't know where he gets this information. The Bible does not say that Australia is going to be invaded by the Chinese or Indonesians, and if it did, there's nothing we can do to stop it.

CJ Morgan, Gibo is not an idiot, he's actually quite intelligent, and that is what makes him very frightening.

I think a number of people are missing the point. That is that fundamental Islamists are spreading their variety of hate and madness everywhere they can. They play on vulnerable people such as the poor, and they are financed from Saudi Arabia (which forbids Churches) and from Iran. They do immense damage with their culture of killing and death.

They may be outside of the mainstream Islam, and preaching a corruption of the Koran, but that does not make them any less dangerous. I hope that Indonesia can reject their awful beliefs, but even if they corrupt only 2% of 180 million, that is still a lot of madmen and women. (3.68 million)
