Good news from Singapore’s Straits Times: “Indonesia’s most violent Muslim extremist group, Laskar Jihad, has been disbanded.” The sub-headline reads: “Muslim extremist group senses major swing of public opinion against it as Bali horror draws condemnation from moderate Muslims.” Yes, that plus the fact that the Indonesian government has announced it will arrest suspected terrorists without warrants and will detain them without trial. The bottom line, I guess, is that most people, of whatever religion, are opposed to mass murder. Still, it is understandable that Laskar Jihad was surprised at the reaction to the Bali bombing. The Straits Times notes that the group has been “blamed for the killing of thousands of Christians.” Until now, apparently no one minded much.
