At least 20 people have been injured in a suicide bombing outside a Catholic cathedral in the Indonesian city of Makassar. Authorities say two bombers were killed in the attack. Churches have been targeted in Indonesia in the past by Islamic extremists. Pope Francis said he would pray for the victims, who were attending Palm Sunday Mass.

The beginning of Easter week is a holy time for Christians. But in Makassar the celebrations were marred by violence. As worshippers were leaving Sunday Mass, two suspected suicide bombers set off explosions outside the Indonesian city's main Catholic cathedral. One of them was said to be a woman. President Joko Widodo called for calm, saying his government would ensure people of all faiths can worship without fear.

Shit! Nobody can figure out those lunatics. We really need to find a way to get rid of them.

Makassar is located in Sulawesi island, this island is close to Philippine. The network is very likely related to Abu Sayyaf group network in Philippine. Alhamdulillah it has been more than a decade where the terrorist cells can only make minor damage inside Indonesia. Pretty much the scale is much much reduced if we compared to early 2000 where terrorist can even attack Jakarta with many casualties, where the biggest casualties happen in the attack in Bali.

Actually Indonesia is doing soft approach when these guys are in jailed, and it is one of the main reason we can reduce greatly their influence. Indonesian police hire some Islamist militants high ranking officials who have realized they are making mistake to indoctrination them and make them follow the right interpretation of Islam and understand that our state ideology, Pancasila, is not against Islam.

These people have low understanding about Islam and usually are among the stubborn heart people and has low critical thinking. All societies have this kind of group, whether in the West, Africa, and Asia.

Makassar is nice place. I have been there. People are nice, Muslims there are gentle. I love Sulaweisi. Me backpack there from Makassar to Manado, and then trying to hitch a boat to philippines.

Then, Indon port is really porous. I can just walk up a ship in Pelabuhan Bitung, treat the captain in good restaurant, trying to bribe them bring me to Philippines.

The problem of Sunni institution is they are controlled partly by Saudi. There always got some jackass, who like to see suicide bombing as a cosmic struggle on behalf of Allah.

Clerics must locally trained, and foreign cleric certification not recognized.

I have good opinion on Indonesian Muslims. Never met a single crackpot there, even in dangerous Poso.

This is just such a deluded post on epic porportions.. Some of the biggest tourist destinations in the world and free world countries are sunni institution places like Giza, Tunisa, UAE, Qatar, Malaysia, Indonesia, Maldives, Morocco, Antalya, Istanbul etc etc. You see alot of stupid stuff online you just repeat it like a parrot without fact checking. Saudis control nothing there is just one way of being muslim and they have no control over it as the quran and hadith is accessable to everyone

You forgot.

One of the most tolerant place is Syria. I have only good things to say about Syrian. Syrian Muslims are very kind. Everyone love one another, Muslim, Christians, Shia..etc. That was 22 years ago. It was the safest place on earth.

I walk in Damascus at 0300 morning.

Not sure why USA say this is place whereby Sunni got sexually abused and genocide.

Then suddenly Syria turn into hell.

Civil war happened in Syria for democratic reasons but the war became sectrian and then foreign powers entered the war such as Russia, Turkey and US. It just became a big mess quickly the fault falls directly on the President who refused to go off peacefully. Syria is now partition in 3 parts between Russia, Turkey and US will remain so for the long term. Ending the 10 year conflict for the time being. But the fault is entirely on the president who refused and all these powers would have not intervened each chosing a side to back. Permenently occupying their share each.

The US never blamed Assad on Genocide but they however managed to do on Saudi Arabia in relations to Yemen and the EU itself openly blamed Saudi Arabia on genocide while they never did that with Assad

No point in blaming saudis or others always. Ordinary muslims need to take responsibility for their actions. How come they are the ones always getting so easily brainwashed or influenced, while the rest of the planet is able to distinguish between good and bad ?

I still have good memories of Damascus. That time, I try to hitch from Damascus to Amman. I approach the traffic police on the highway. The police stop every truck and ask on my behalf.

I came Amman totally free of charge, driver paying all my food, hotel, Coffee...etc

I totally affirm Syrian is way way way more civilized than many people.

After that I took a ferry to Egypt. Oh no Egyptians are mercenary, especially in Cairo.

Once you get out of Cairo and stay in Alexandria or Luxor, people become civilized again.

And also, once you stay in Cairo long enough and locals get to know you, you feel they are kind and nice. They start to treat you like one of them.

First day in Cairo is 0200 am, totally safe. I walk 5km to my hotel.

In LA, this will be suicidal.

The thing is that Muslims actully are responsible example the Indonesia president said this after following this incident.


JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesian president Joko Widodo strongly condemned a suspected suicide bomb attack outside a church that wounded 14 people in the city of Makassar on the island of Sulawesi on Sunday.

In a video broadcast, he described the attack in the country with the world’s largest Muslim population as an “act of terrorism”, and urged people to remain calm, saying the government would ensure that everybody can worship freely, “without fear”.

But in return you don't handle your own shit like your entire gov't is invested with RSS terrorist elements. You have gone extremist on a institutional level whereas stuff like this is minor in the muslim community very very minor and urgently put to a stop. But here we have a country completely invested with extremism that is called India. A woman can't walk freely in India without getting raped?

Wilhelmus Tulak, the cleric of the church look quite Chinese. He can come China and pass off as a Chinese minorities. A lot of Bugis people look quite Chinese.

Guess this is one big reason Indon and Chinese mix better.

Both started by fundamentalist muslims. Gujaratis are some of the mildest people you will ever meet. It takes something truly out of proportion to encite them. Though to be very clear, i dont condone any extra judicial killings, whether burning Hindus in trains or muslims in riots or killing of french journalists .It was a state failure.
