Indonesia has suspended all military cooperation with Australia, the ABC reports.

The move was reportedly made over 'offensive' training materials on display at an Australian SAS base in Perth.

Major General Wuryanto has not confirmed the reason for the suspension, saying it was for technical matters, and that there were "ups and downs in every cooperation between two national forces".

According to Indonesian newspaper, Kompas, an Indonesian Special Forces instructor took offence to some “laminated material” at the Perth base.

“Islam was founded by a pedophile, illiterate, mass murdering, slave trader, sex slave trafficker, liar, thief and hater of dogs”

The Aussies told the truth about Islam, right?

Would not surprise me if something about Islam is at the base of this, but I don’t actually know.

Actually, no; the alleged Aussie documents were said to be demeaning to Pancasila, which is the founding philosophy of the unitary state of Indonesia, consisting of five distinct pillars, one of which is freedom of religion. Islam is not mentioned in the Pancasila. It is the islamists who are trying to destroy Pancasila.

Nevertheless, a stupid move by Indonesia, and I cannot imagine what the Aussie materials had to say about Pancasila that could get the Indons’ knickers so in a twist.

That was pretty good. It is in the style of Tom Lehrer. Very well done.

The backstory is about control over the island of Timor.

The Indos invaded and brought settlers into Timor and executed the Timor leadership. The Timorese fought back and won with the help of the Aussies and our Marine support.

Now the east half of the island is independent Timor Leste with a permanent Aussie base and training center for our Marines.

The issue is about land not religion even though the Timorese are not Muslim.
