I sorry but it is time for all people, especially those of faith, whether they be Muslim, Jewish, or Christian, to stand up against fundamentalism.

2. It doesn't say anywhere here that the attackers were

religious fundamentalists. I do agree that everyone, not just those of faith, have to stand up to this kind of terrorism. But of course being we are the nationals of a country whose government condones torture for a higher purpose, we can't really throw stones.

5. it is one of two choices in Indonesia

1. They are Islamic fundamentalist
2. They hate Chinese

Take your choice:

Religious fundamentalists or racists

don't kid yourself, this was not done randomly, this had a specific point to make

3. Fundamentalism is just their cover.

I agree with you, however the people in this instance could just as easily have been retaliating for their earlier fighting, not necessarily for their religion. Fundamentalist religions just offer violent people and organizations a quasi-acceptable public front from behind which to operate, ala Al Quaida, the JDL or the Creativity Movement.
