Yes brother, the Australians, the Americans, the Europeans and all the other foreigner are just on a holiday in Afghanistan and they kill them just for fun. They don’t build roads, they don’t build schools, they don’t drive wells and they would not bother risking their own soul for that. Just do us all a favor and get the facts right, thanks.

Argun that is a thoroughly ignorant statement. These people have not gone to any heaven and they've betrayed and distorted their religion and it's teachings.
What crime did those people in Bali commit in your deluded mind. Being, white and western I guess. That most people in the west were against the war in Iraq probably confuses you and is best ignored by you as you try to justify the unjustifiable.
People like you are also the enemy of Islam.

@ Argun. Your comment is wrong and sickening. Those Australians are not terrorist, they do not kill in the name of God, they don't kill innocent people on purpose and surely not by placing bombs deliberately at places where innocent people gather. It is soldiers against soldiers, people who chose to fight.
That the war in Afghanistan is not correct, that is some other matter. War in general is not correct, and indeed America easily takes to war.
Terrorist though, are people like Amrozi, who for no sensible reason at all kill innocent people at will.
It is sickening to see how much attention the coffin of Samudra gets. He killed innocent people. If you are against killing innocent people, who are you standing in the front row to justify what Samudra did. Start cleaning up your own dirt first before accusing others! You should be urging your Islamic brothers and sister to send a true message of peace in the world, not one of hatred and terror. Islam is the religion of peace, or am I wrong?
Then show the world that this is true. Condemn violence and spread peace and your voice will be heard.

any one who supports the bombers is wrong .and are inciting to hatred all peaceful people by bringing those murders to an elevated status lowers the status of Islam.
those men killed innocent victims. nothing can defend that.
as for mixing Afghanistan in this subject it out of place .
Taliban killed far more of their own citizens and made they lives unbearable too. i do not support western troop in those places but it is a far lesser harm than the Taliban that where removed.

im disgusted that they conduct terrorist attacks in the name of their religion, it gives islam such a negative connotation in the eye of others who are not informed of the ideologies of the religion - the religion does not support harming others and taking innocent lives. what they did impacted muslims all over the world, putting all of them, muslims from different genders, colours and races into one stereotypical category of EXTREMISTS. is that how you want the world to perceive your religion? no one is perfect in this world, let alone one religion. every god is the same, we just choose different paths to get to the same destination. what i see in the picture above, is a series of uneducated people, fighting for something that they are brainwashed to because they dont know anyting better. they think they are supreme than the rest of the world and they choose to enact violence upon anyone who does not have the same mindframe? that does not make them brave. it makes them SAD and SHALLOW because in their lifetime they have never, for even one split second, opened their mind and put themselves in the shoes of the victims. these three men did this inhumane act, thinking that they will come out of it with a global impact. they did make global headlines, still making them now even after their execution. they achieved that so i hope they are happy. but i hope that their soul will never rest in peace after the blood and tears they have shed. i have no mercy for them, they deserved it. i consider them lucky that it took us 6 years to reach this crucial point.

Argun, martyrdom will not be how these scum of the earth will be remembered. They will be remembered and reviled as nothing but mass murderers.

get something better to do guys.there is heaps of other things to do in this world.

May Allah's mercy be on the families of those who were wrongly executed.No doubt this is a difficult time for them.May Allah accept Samudra Amrozi and Ghufron's martyrdom.
If i remember correctly there are about 1000 Australian terrorists in Afghanistan killing innocent Afghans.
Will bush,cheney, john howard be executed for killing innocent Iraqis and Afghanis? Their madness triggered such a reaction from our brave Muslim brothers.

its not scary -- its justice...
they shouldve thought before they exploded the bombs... isnt it a lot more scarier for the victims' families? imagine you are in a holiday and then the next second you're dead just becuz of some guy wants to explode the bar/cafe/resto you're sitting on, enjoying your meal... thats scary man! inhuman and scary....
