#1 "Until authorities arrest the killers and disclose the motive, it's too early to say this attack was religiously motivated," said Syafii Maarif, leader of Indonesia's second largest nonpolitical Muslim group Muhammadiyah.

From what I've seen in Indonesia, all this means is that if the authorities don't bother to arrest the killers the crime couldn't possibly have been religiously motivated.

Does logic run backwards below the equator? If it weren't for the Aussies, I'd have to swear that it does.

#2 Heh, the anti-coriolis effect. Must be neutralized by all those meteorites scattered around OzziLand. :)

#3 The police an military are not out to prevent revenge attacks. They are out to prevent justice.

Justice would be rounding up every last allenist and putting them on a boat back where thety came from or to moose limb majority areas under pain of death if they should return.

#4 "But I can say the Muslim community is shocked and deeply concerned about the inhumane killing of innocent students."

C',mere Abu...I know yer heart was in the right place but if I told ya once...I told ya thousand times. Beheading children is simply bad PR.

#5 "But I can say the Muslim community is shocked and deeply concerned about the inhumane killing of innocent students," he said,..

Did he say this in a monotone voice?

#6 "But I can say the Muslim community is shocked and deeply concerned about the inhumane killing of innocent students," he said,..

Anyone ask him to define "innocent"? Betcha he thinks these girls were asking for it, what with their heads uncovered and all.

#7 I think one of the clerics, in Britian, already clarified, by definition, an infidel can not be innocent.

#8 I see the Indo police are going all out to protect the Muslims but nonething to find the killers (who are most likely muslim....) or protect the christians from additional attacks.....

Look for a few more headless girls to show up as the police provide cover for the killers...

#9 Don't forget these muslims are Indonesian. They are taking that country one convert at a time, like Thailand. The gubments just don't get a religious war. They just don't conceive of one group of civilians eliminating another group without saying "May I ".
As long as they vote and pay taxes, everything'll be fine.
