Witness: Patek said terror attacks were against Islam
Bali bombing suspect Umar Patek was concerned that violence against civilians went against Islamic teachings and created a bad image for Muslims, according to a fellow militant who testified at his trial.

Branding Islam as terrorism, because there are terrorists in Indonesia, goes too far. What about the events on the West Bank? Israel often shoots civilians in Palestine, when in fact it is their own country, and Israeli soldiers behave with such brutality and abominations. What is the world’s response to this?

Terrorists should come to their senses and turn themselves in, to take responsibility for their actions.
