Indonesia bombings awakening

It’s been some weeks since I wrote … but events of late are too disturbing not to comment on ...

Firstly … the Jakarta bombings in Marriot and Ritz by Islamic terrorists. They have not found the actual perpetrators but the furious hunt is on for the so called mastermind. Whatever the outcome … I think Indonesians don’t deserve this … especially now. If the religious struggle is for the majority then the bombers might get more support but this time they just did it for pure ego, cowardice and selfish reasons. I think these groups are funded and brainwashed by selfish rich politicians / businessmen to create unnecessary fear, confusion and anger.
Indonesia under the current leadership has made considerable progress in the last 10 years … both in economics and standard of living. People generally have more job options, better savings and stable working environment which helped Indonesia push for impressive growth. Chaos and mayhem now might be a cunning way to make more money for some selfish bigots and surely will take advantage of people’s misery and fear.

At the end of the day … the welfare and well being of Indonesians is more important than this flawed jihad against the Americans. I think these terrorist conveniently forget that Java and the Indonesian archipelago has rich heritage with proud and hardworking people. Their history is much older than any western country … and this lame excuse of western persecution, colonialisation, religious struggle and manipulation is so stale and yesterday. Java was once a mighty rich empire … great people, beautiful culture and wonderful minds … I hope they are awakened now.
