Undoubtedly true.  The presence of westerners - in a dance
club as in bali - would be a spread of a different culture,
which is what is objectionable to those who object.  These
people really seem intent on unleashing a holy war in which
their apocalyptic visions may be fulfilled, as they see it,
and may God spare us from religious fanatics of any kind.
  Those are the most dangerous kind, because they disregard
human life thinking they have a superior calling from God.
