Another good source of information

Another good source of information on the Bali bombing and its aftermath is The Gweilo Diaries, a blog written by an expatriate from New York who now lives in Asia. He lost friends in both the World Trade Center attack and the Sari Club bombing, and is both angry and eloquent. Among other things, he says: “If Muslims want understanding and tolerance from me, how about, at a minimum, they stop murdering my goddamn friends.” And also: “A reader responds that the difference between Nazism and fundamentalist Islam is ‘six million dead Jews.’ True enough. But take the Israelis’ guns away and I assure you, the Islamofascists would happily provide all the dead Jews required.”
