Most if it is, but Bali is predominately Hindu.

They deliberately targeted an area that is mostly filled with Australian
tourists.  Apparently Bali is like the Australians' Hawaii.  They are going
after people from "western culture" to put it simplistically.  They bombed a
French tanker the other day, too.  I about threw up when I read a quote from
someone today saying that this is deserved because of American "arrogance."
How absolutely sick - murderng innocents for the past ten years in the U.S.
and aboard because of "arrogance" whether real or perceived.  Gee, it all
makes sense now - not.
