Australians Furious at State of Bali Bombings Site October 10, 2012 Australian relatives of the 2002 Bali bombing victims walk out of the carpark of Sari club, which was one of the bombing sites, ahead of the 10th anniversary in Kuta, on the resort island of Bali on Oct. 10, 2012. Eighty-eight Australians were among the 202 people killed in the attacks on Sari Club and Paddy's Bar at the popular tourist area of Kuta on October 12, 2002.
Kuta, Bali. Friends and relatives of Australian victims of Indonesia’s Bali bombings have expressed outrage after learning that the site of a destroyed nightspot is being used as a makeshift public urinal.
“Don’t urinate here” is spray-painted in Indonesian along the wall of a lot where the Sari Club stood before Islamists attacked it on Oct. 12, 2002.
The militants also bombed Paddy’s Bar across the road, killing 202 people including scores of foreigners.
Among the dead were 88 Australians and many of their countrymen are streaming into Bali to commemorate the attack’s 10th anniversary on Friday.
To their dismay the site, which has long been considered for a possible “peace park,” has been used as a parking lot — with locals reporting that people regularly urinate on the wall.
“The urinating is totally disgraceful and disrespectful to the people who lost their lives on that fateful night,” David Marshall, who lost his father in the bombings, told reporters near the site late on Tuesday.
it would just be a shame to leave it how it is,” said survivor Phil Britten, 32, who is scarred from severe burns to his body from the blasts.
“I’d call it a sacred ground.”

On IslamoRealism: A friend, has been -justly- telling me for a long time... That Islamic culture’s problem is not really (just) the minority-extremists, but the silent majority, what is the backbone of “extremists” and main motivation, not to mention the venemous typical: “oh I condemn radicals but, but, but...” Had radicals known that the “moderates” back "home" shame them, they would lose most of the moral support upon which they rely on for oxygen.
There is no “sacred ground” for infidels by muslims.

Sheik: 'It's OK to kill non-Muslims' Nov 19, 2002
Sheik Abu Hamza, affiliated with London's Finsbury Park mosque, tells an audience that non-believers should be killed or sold into slavery. "If a kafir person (non-believer) goes in a Muslim country, he is like a cow," explains Hamza. "Anybody can take him. That is the Islamic law." "If a kafir is walking by and you catch him, he's booty," he says on one tape. "You can sell him in the market. Most of them are spies. And even if they don't do anything, if Muslims cannot take them and sell them in the market, you just kill them. It's OK."
Having visited Indonesia I can attest to the fact that it's a breathtakingly primitive nation.
Yes, it’s safe to say that Indonesian average Muslims are no more moderate than the British (immigrants) Muslims are...
