The Bali bombings: Chapter two

It is time the government showed its teeth against terrorism. One can only think that these people are not hunted down for fear that the Muslim majority of our country might not accept it.

How come the government can so easily crack down on people who overstay their tourist visas or come to work on such a visa (like the two Malaysians who were detained like terrorists).

Let's face it, despite the majority of Indonesians being peaceful Muslims those who terrorize and destroy lives also are, and they must be extinguished from the face of our planet.

Punishment is hard and, with no compromise, maybe people will think twice before committing a crime or protecting criminals. The authorities must now execute Amrozi and all the terrorists sentenced to death to show that it is serious.
