"Who considered their enemy"? What are you talking about?

I am considering the Asian Pacific Rim countries, all of them that were effected. Many are dominated by Muslims. I understand (correct me if wrong) that OBL was considering ACEH for relocation plans. That AQ has established a foot hold there and in other rim countries.

I have been given to understand by friends who have maintained ties in Aceh long since I left my assignment there that indeed, Salafi influence has grown there along with intolerance toward non-Muslims, very unfortunately.

But, I believe that Achenese in general bear the US no ill will, and in fact are well disposed toward Americans.

This tragedy will not help the Islamists at all in Aceh as it will be clear to the people who it is that is helping them in real terms and who it is that is sending them Korans and dim-witted Imams.
