| Indonesia urges US not to make Muslim scapegoats |
| 2001-09-17 |
Indonesia's vice president, a leading Muslim politician, urged the United States not to make Muslims a scapegoat for last week's terror attacks, which he said could help atone for Washington's past sins. "Hopefully, the tragedy can cleanse the sins by the U.S.," the Kompas newspaper on Sunday quoted Vice President Hamzah Haz as saying. "Therefore, there should not be any revenge against the Islamic community or Islamic countries," said Haz, the head of the Muslim-oriented United Development Party. |
