Jesus Christ Grannie. I met my wife when I was working in Indonesia. I got a date with RW right now in the extremism subforum, but I will be back to this.

Indonesia has sent 500 fighters to Syria. They even have their own brigade there for ISIS. The chickens have come home to roost.

It was a terrorist attack for sure.

You bet it was Grannie. One of the main targets was a Starbucks. I'm watching it and reading about it as I type.

Three suicide bombers exploded at the Starbucks.

There were three blasts near the Turkish and Pakistan embassies. The country has been on high alert after authorities said they had foiled a plot by militants to attack government officials, foreigners and others. About 150,000 police officers and soldiers were deployed during New Year's Eve to guard churches, airports and other public places.

They are fine, I have no doubt Grannie. I drank a lot of beers in the sudiman and kemang areas of Jakarta. This really hits home for me.

Annie

He just got back to me and they're fine.  Whew.

Under Suharto, Islam was kept in check. Now ME money and meddling is free to push that vile ideology on the masses.
