I thought Indonesia was very predominately Moslem. Seems the only thing you need for mass murder is Christians/Jews/or any others and any percentage of Islam to mix. Islam is submission, not peace.

The explosion occurred around 9 a.m. at a traditional market packed with shoppers in a Christian neighborhood of Ambon, the provincial capital.

How come giving the Islam Jihad some of the capitol of Israel as part of a "peace" deal does not sound like it will bring peace, yet the liberals all scream for it?

Check out the CNN/Reuters version of this story. They couldn't even bother to tell that the victims were Christians.

"Martin Djari, chief official at Ambon's information department, told Reuters there was more than one blast and they struck around around 10:30 a.m. local time (0130 GMT).

"It's so sad. The explosions happened at Mardika, a busy shopping area ... Many people have been injured," he said.

I especially love the "..." where the pertinent information was left out.

They blame the bombing on "Muslim-Christian violence". If we're supposed to be in a war, wouldn't it be helpful if our news sources kept the American people informed of what the enemy is doing in other parts of the world? I guess it doesn't really concern us, huh.
