I'm not saying muslim extremists don't exist or aren't any threat.

But in my opinion, it's highly doubtful they're the only ones involved in these terrorist attacks.

Consider this recent article for example:- this shows that yes, there were indeed muslim extremists involved in the 1st Bali bombing, but also raises large doubts as to whether the 2nd bombing which was a much larger expolosion from an outside Mitsubishi van, was caused by them.

We killed too many, say Bali bombers - Times Online

"Had he made the bomb? “No, no, no!” he said, shaking his head. “I didn’t help to make it, and who made the bomb and when I don’t know.”

The second explosion was much bigger than they had expected, he said.

The only explanation, he suggested, was that “the CIA or KGB or Mossad” - those familiar bogeymen of the conspiracy theorist – had somehow tampered with the bomb. “It is very possible,” he claimed."

Now consider what former Indonesian President Abdurrahman Wahid had to say about the bali bombings...

Transcript(source) BLIND INDO PREZ SHATTERS ELITE? - Free Market News Network

ABDURRAHMAN WAHID: Amrozi was involved in the lighter bomb. That's a problem always. Even though I agree that he should be given a stiff punishment, but it doesn't mean that he is involved. No, no, no.

REPORTER: So you believe that the Bali bombers had no idea that there was a second bomb?

ABDURRAHMAN WAHID: Yeah, precisely.

REPORTER: And who would you suggest planted the second bomb?

ABDURRAHMAN WAHID: Well, it looks like the police.

REPORTER: The police?

ABDURRAHMAN WAHID: Or the armed forces, I don't know.

Wahid's speculation is chilling and again there's no evidence to support it. But there's no doubt that he's a barometer of how many Indonesians view the whole terror campaign.

Talking about the documentary, ""Inside Indonesia's War on Terrorism," broadcast on Australian TV, Rense.Com described the program as follows,

“In this documentary, which is described as the world's most explosive expose of International Intelligence Agencies ops and cover-ups, the former president of Indonesia (who Australians describe as the only honest high-level Indonesian politician), disclosed that the Indonesian police or military are behind the Bali bombings. Also in this program, Indonesian journalists
and researchers state, unequivocally, that 'Moslem terrorists organizations' DO NOT EXIST as portrayed by the government - that they are created and coordinated to act by military-connected provocateurs. … They further claim that the Indonesian military is totally corrupt and that Generals and politicians are pocketing vast hordes of money they receive to 'fight terrorism' - 'terrorism' which, in fact, they are creating themselves."

Bali Bomber Claims CIA/Mossad Involvement

Now the above article claims that:

1) Despite The Times’ best efforts to scoff at the claim, the fact that U.S. and British authorities were tipped off in advance of the bombing is documented.

2) Initial reports said the Mitsubishi bomb consisted of C4, a military grade plastic explosive which is difficult to obtain, but the story was soon changed and the bomb was said to be of a more crude design. The sheer devastation the bomb wrought on surrounding buildings in the area suggested that a powerful explosive was used.

3) Hours before the bombing took place, the U.S. withdrew all its administrative staff and diplomats(link) from Indonesia, citing a "security threat". The British government also received the same warning(link) but this wasn’t passed on to any relevant authority or the hundreds of victims carelessly making their way to a beach party.

4)Immediately after the bombing, the FBI, the Australian Secret Service and British secret police swooped in to the bomb site and ruthlessly took charge of the investigation, much to the chagrin of the Indonesian authorities and the Balinese police.

The online documentary, The Truth About The Bali Bombings, explores some of these issues. Watch the four-part video below."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I'm saying the extremeists weren't involved at all, but one has to seriously raise questions about where the larger 2nd bomb that went off came from.

Anyone reading the times article under the headline "We killed too many, say Bali bombers" is probably going to believe it is an open and shut case, but when you examine other claims and evidence, it doesn't seem the open and shut case that it seems to be at first glance.

Again, I'm not saying there isn't some threat from extremism, but is the Times article carefully worded propaganda to re-inforce an islamaphobia mainstream agenda and paper over the tracks left by intelligence agencies and their "war on terror" ?

Obviously the 2nd bombing cannot be proved(for now at least), but anyone who has looked into the many questions raised by 9/11 and 7/7 would have to seriously consider these repeated patterns of intelligence involvement.

I had to laugh at that.

No, really, I did.

There’s times when being insulted can actually be a compliment when the insult comes form people of a certain persuasion, type, or class.


This is one of those times that I feel highly complimented!

Now …..

As for a second and more powerful bomb in the case of the islamic atrocity in Bali.

If you had any first hand experience in civil war zones such as Northern Ireland AS I HAVE then you would be well aware that it is classic terrorist practice.

Scare them onto the streets with the smaller one, massacre them in the open with the big one.

QED
[Rep]

I take your point and I probably agree you're right.
But worth keeping in mind there was an intelligence tip off before the first bomb went off.
