        "summary": "The accused The \"fireball\" of the JW Marriott Hotel bombing has again cornered the Moslem society. Government officials, particularly the police, have made a hasty statement before conducting a valid investigation. Based on their own assumptions, they declared that the hotel bombing was carried out by a Moslem group. This statement has the potential to discredit Moslems. Moslems have been the accused in every bombing case, including in the Bali bombing.",

Government officials, particularly<br>\nthe police, have made a hasty statement before conducting a valid<br>\ninvestigation. Based on their own assumptions, they declared that<br>\nthe hotel bombing was carried out by a Moslem group.<\/p>\n<p>This statement has the potential to discredit Moslems.<br>\nMoslems have been the accused in every bombing case, including in<br>\nthe Bali bombing.<\/p>\n<p>What is peculiar in the Marriott bombing is that the charge<br>\nthat the Jamaah Islamiyah was behind it, did not come from the<br>\npolice but from the Singaporean media.  It seems that the<br>\ncoverage has become the evidence that had led the Indonesian<br>\nPolice to make such a conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>We agree that the bombings must be thoroughly investigated and<br>\ntheir perpetrators must get severe punishment. However, the anti-<br>\nterrorism campaign, particularly that launched by the U.S. after<br>\nthe World Trade Center suicide attacks, has linked Islam and<br>\nMoslems to terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>It is a big mistake. The government and the police work only<br>\non the surface, and not in the deep part. It is ironical for the<br>\ngovernment and the police to question the twigs and not the tree,<br>\nor even its roots.            -- Republika, Jakarta<\/p>",
