The photos are not Indonesian J.I.
members, but common folks with a violent streak that reflect the
typical merciless violent mentality of the Indonesians, and their
macabre manner in toying with the deceased.
This violent streak seems to be a typical characteristic of the
Indonesian ethnic Malays in general, and represented across the
entire Indonesian archipelago.
The violent streak surfaced periodically in times of social or
economic stresses, violence between ethnic groups will breakout -
with the Indonesian Chinese population bearing the brunt of the
discontentment and frustrations.
This was seen in the violence and atrocities committed against the
Indonesian Chinese in Jakarta - over the last three decades - the
most recent being the downfall of President Suharto.
They will even attack their own ethnic group, when the conflict
becomes religious in nature and not racial - as had happened in the
Moloccus, and also in Indoneisan Kalimantan.
Those guys in the photos are religious fanatics on a murderous
rampage, and two were recently tried in Jakarta for beheading two
school girls who were from the Indonesian Christian
community.
During Indonesian President Sukarno's Confrontation over the
formation of Malaysia, one group of Indonesian paratroopers had
parachuted into the Johor State, and a hunt was initiated by
Singapore's 1SIR.
Unfortunately, one section of a Platoon was ambushed while they
rested, and their bodies were mutiliated.
This riled up the remaining 1SIR batalion, who hunted the
Indonesian parachutists, leaving no survivors, and returned the
compliments to them.
