    Dear Rizqferd, that might well be your personal opinion. Many Muslims will not agree with you.

  • masyanto says:

    Wow. . . we are neighbour then? I was in Mojokerto, but also in Surabaya.

  • masyanto says:

    Dear Malaekat2an, I agree with you brother!!!

  • masyanto says:

    If they are not Muslims, are the terrorists in Indonesia Hindus, Budhist or Christians, then?

  • magna101 says:

    Surabaya 90% of the time. Also was in tulungagung and blitar.

  • masyanto says:

    Where did you live in East Java , Magna 101? I am from East Java too. . . now I am in the States.

    shit im american and i live in bali

  • bungas02 says:

    Its sad but in general absolutely true. . !!

  • whygothic says:

    Whoops,talk about inaccurate anthropological remarks. The Barong dance (Witch = Rangda & Lion = Barong) is about an eternal struggle between good and evil. Evil was never defeated. Balinese Hindus believe that both must exist in balance.

  • magna101 says:

    i lived in east java long enough to say that the chinese minorities in Indonesia are the most arrogant and self centered people in Indonesia, not the Indonesians. If anyone is racist, it is the minority chinese, who will flaunt their wealth and treat the Indonesian people like their slaves and with no respect. And by the way, I’m American.

    hoho get real, people have different thoughts, many of us really appreciate differences anyway. it doesn’t matter who you are. we’ve only get judged by what we do

  • baliku59 says:

    i agree with u sherrilu, in the 20′s judging by all the young ladies outfit. classic flim

  • nodsiden says:

    Why are u guys talking bout racism, nobodies perfect. . helloo, talk about the travel experience. . .

  • sherrilu says:

    This is from the 1920′s not 1946.

  • agusbelgique says:

    oh. . . my bali. beautifulllllllllllllll.

  • rizqferd says:

    i understood i saw it at the news i was that time in Boarding School yes people were provocated to do this cause of money talk and that was one very big fool which happened but remember we live harmoniously everyday and learn to respect eachother . . . . :)
    some foolish which doesn’t of real Islam just use the opportunity for their own ego which is very fool
    ok we’re the colours to make this life beautiful why don’t we enjoy this beautiful life and respect . .

  • rizqferd says:

    and i’m free to think and do as long as i don’t heart anybody else but then giving more to people instead of receiving cause that’s what we learned from our religions. . cause there’s only one God even we have many ways to pray HIM peace guys !!

  • rizqferd says:

    i’m moslim and i respect other friends with variety that’s how beautiful you can make respect eachother. . . . . . and what is Jihad and bombing it’s not our style cause things which written down in Koran it was valid at that ancient time now it’s different if you want to make something good than you have to start it from yourself from your heart

  • joeaditya says:

    yeah right. . . they always do such thing with using word “jihad”, “Allahuakbar”, etc. . .

    and yeah there are racism in here. . . feel sorry for that. . . but however. . . there’s always many moslem that not act like them. . .

  • malaekat2an says:

    im indonesian minority, im chinese race, and catholic, i grew on racism environment . . . for those who says that there’s no racism in indonesia, well they’re wrong . . . it’s very hard to get the permit to build church here, yet look on what they did on chinese minority here on many ocassion, one of them is riot in may 98 . . . there’s mosque every 200 metres . . . and yes, Prof. Robert Hefner is right, i agree . .

    please watch for PKS (partai keadilan sejahtera) and also FPI (Front Pembela Islam) . . .
