Unbe…no. Actually, I can believe it. On October 12, 2002, Islamic extremists bombed the tourist district in Kuta on the Indonesian island of Bali. You remember that attack, right? It killed 202 people, including 164 foreign nationals and 38 Indonesian citizens. Those responsible for the bombings have been convicted of such. But that didn’t stop Indonesia’s anti-terror chief from having them over for a barbecue at his place. Why? Well, they’re Muslim, of course.
CONVICTED Bali nightclub bombers have feasted on kebabs with Indonesia’s anti-terrorism chief at an evening party held at his house.
The party, which brought together more than 20 Muslim hardliners and former terrorists who have shown “regret” for their actions, was the latest “soft” strategy in Indonesia’s anti-terror campaign to try and turn former militants into informers, or advocates of religious moderation.
“We approach the terrorists with a pure heart,” Brigadier General Surya Dharma, the head of Indonesia’s anti-terror unit and host of the party, told Associated Press.
Yes, a pure heart. Never mind the fact they took 202 innocent lives, including 88 Australians, 24 British, 7 Americans, 2 Canadians, and 38 of their own citizens, they’re Muslim. Can’t be angry at them, now, can we…
“We are all Muslims. We make them our brothers, not our enemy.”
Aw. Keep that quote in mind.
