Islamic Radicalism Backfires

June 5, 2008: While local Islamic radicals have backed away from violent terrorism (bombs), and instead concentrated on harassing others to become more religiously conservative, this has not worked either. Indonesians are pretty tolerant and easy going, but they have their limits. Now those limits have been reached, and there are popular calls for the government to outlaw the Islamic conservative activist groups. Several recent incidents brought this on. In the Malukus, Islamic conservatives burned down a Christian village, killed four Christians and wounded several dozen. Shortly after that, Islamic radicals attacked a religious tolerance rally, wounding 70 people. This, combined with recent revelations of how Islamic terrorists still operate in the country, supported by groups based in mosques and universities, created a popular backlash. The attack on the rally was televised, and showed Islamic radicals attacking women and children. Sort of the last straw. Now there are calls to outlaw the Islamic radical groups.
