Bali bombing II

Categories: Wormie Says

Why are the terrorist bombing innocent people again? If they have no qualms on killing innocent people, do they have the moral authority to govern people when they are in power? It is sad that fingers are pointing at JI again. I am sure Islam is not the force behind this terrorist attack, like all other terrorist attack linked to Islamic militants. I have Muslim friends who also cannot understand the rationale behind the bombings. Now is the time for Muslims leaders to come out and condemn the bombings so that potential terrorist can be dissuaded from joining terrorist group under the guise of Islam. If Muslim leaders do not do so then some Muslim may think that the terrorist group are indeed representative of the "true" Islam, which everyone know is not. Therefore it is heartening that when the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) so swiftly denounced the bombings "as 'terrorist acts' which contradict Islamic teachings." Malaysia, a Muslim country, hopes that the previous two Bali bombing suspects will be caught soon. Its Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar was quoted to have said "These people may be Malaysian by citizenship but they are not with us."

Don't they know that the people who suffers are their fellow citizens also Muslims. Indonesians are currently facing a lot of challenges in their daily life and surely they do not need another complications in their life. Looked what happened 3 years ago during the first bombing. A lot of Balinese suffered because of loss in tourism incomes. Now that they are slowing gaining back their livelihood, these militants have to strike again.

I hope would-be terrorist will have a good look at some of the photos in the news and wakes up to the fact that the real casualties are fellow Indonesians and Muslims.
