  1. I am very sure the Indonesians can take very good care of their cultural treasures. You've never been there, right?

  2.  @andidevrede822  And I lived in the Netherlands till I turned 21. From those days, I remember well how Rembrandt's famous painting, De Nachtwacht, got vandalised. Maybe an Indonesian museum should take over, because the Dutch can't be trusted to keep it safe. In the past, the Netherlands has seen a lot of Christian fundamentalism and as of late, right-wing extremism. That's a far bigger worry to me than Islamic radicalism in Indonesia.

  4. Nonsense. There are many Western countries that endured colonisation at one time or another. Unlike you, we're not cry-babies, blaming others for our inadequacies.

  5.  @lyd4712  I think it's admirable how Indonesia is dealing with Jemaah Islamiyah. It seems to be a mopping up operation now. It's true that the Netherlands are a home to a great many of Indonesian origin, who deserve to keep in touch with their roots.
