The Indonesian money was actually Chinese Communist money laundered through Indonesian Chinese, specifically James Riady and family.

Indonesia is about 3% Chinese. They are generally Christian or Buddhist.

That was Aceh, not Jakarta, but your point is still valid.

Aceh is the epicenter of this shite in Indonesia. A truly hateful place run by savages.

Oh no. This may cause some Islamophobic backlash.

Other than the island of Bali, they are all Muslims.
Radicalization of Indonesia began about 40 years ago.

I remember it being Aceh province. As I recall, it is very hard core islamic. I just remember thinking about all that money being sent, out of pure compassion, to help people who would kill you if given a chance.

“Do Muslims Live in Indonesia?”

Only about 200,000,000.

Isn't it funny how countries with a lot of Muslims seem to have a lot of Muslim violence?

Ya, like San Berdo, CA, Tennessee, NY, etc.

It also seems like the more muslims the less picky they get about attacking other muslims as well..

By chance, I lived in Aceh for three years from 1973 to 1976. (oil and gas business) Muslim even then, but under secular law like the rest of Indonesia. It was a beautiful, peaceful place back then, with a few Christian churces even!

I think they are all gone now and I would not set foot back there for mega millions.

One can only hope that islamo trash was bombed.

This is a base sentiment, by any standard. Not judging. Just sayin'

Jakarta. At least three people are reported dead in a suspected series of bombings and gunfire outside the Sarinah department store on Jalan M.H. Thamrin in Central Jakarta on Thursday.

The first explosion was reported at 10:50 a.m. at the police post at the intersection of Jalan Thamrin and Jalan K.H. Wahid Hasyim, and was followed by five more blasts over the next 10 minutes, including one at the Starbucks at the Skyline building, also at the intersection and adjacent to Sarinah, according to witnesses.

Police have sealed off the area and are currently engaged in a firefight, although it is still not clear who the perpetrators are. Authorities have cordoned off much of Jalan Thamrin.

Three people are reported to have died in the explosions and shootings, including a police officer whom witnesses said was shot by a gunman.

Details remain scant, but the Jakarta Globe will continue to update the story as more details come in.

Fox Newsbabe wins blue ribbon for reporting, "Officials confirm three explosions. We don't know if it was one suicide bomber or three suicide bombers."

Yes, Newsbabe, one suicide bomber blew himself up three times.
