| No Muslims were involved. Islam is a religion of peace, and Mohammed was the final prophet. |

What do you mean 'if'? They were obviously carried out by terrorists, and the religious motivations of these terrorists is not hard to guess either. |

Most of Indonesia is Moslem. Bali is not. It's Hindi.
Foreigners are incidental, attacked simply to undermine the Bali tourist economy, strength and movement toward autonomy.
I have never heard CNN identify this undercurrent and the long history of violence it has brung. Instead, the blanket term "terrorism" without local context makes it all so much more relevant to viewers I guess, and more palpable when put in a post-9/11 context instead of the ongoing reality it actually is. |

Yes, it is a meaningless blanket term. They should say Islamic terrorism, but that might ruffle a few feathers.
The first Bali bomber was quite clear (and unrepentant) about why he carried out the bombings. It was to punish foreigners for committing all kinds of un-Islamic acts in a muslim country (Indonesia). I'm sure that they are also motivated by a desire to bring the 'idol worshippers' (Hindus) into the wonderful Shariah state they are hoping for.
Moreover, the main suspect for this bombing is yet another well educated, middle class man. When will people stop bleating on about 'alienation' and 'poverty' and realise that these people are motivated by the Islamic ideology of Jihad and the hatred of infidels that inspires.
From The Times:-
Security officials blamed Al-Qaeda��s local affiliate, Jemaah Islamiya (JI), which carried out the Bali bombings of three years ago in which 202 people died, including 28 Britons.
Its top bombmaker, Azahari bin Husin, who completed a doctorate at Reading University in the 1990s and is known in his native Malaysia as ��Demolition Man��, is suspected of involvement in the latest bombings.
